Week 15 NFL Betting Parlay – Seahawks vs. Giants, Texans vs. Colts

NFL Parlay of the Week

Betting the favorites in Week 14 of the NFL regular season proved to be a profitable endeavor with 10 of 16 covering against the spread. Despite the cold and snowy weather in many of the games, the total went OVER in 10 of those contests as well.

Turning to this week in the NFL, I have once again dug deep into the numbers for all the matchups on this Sunday’s schedule to uncover a couple of gems that come together perfectly for this week’s parlay based on lines provided by [dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′].

Game 1 – Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Giants

Pointspread: Seattle -7.5
Total Line: 41.5

The Seahawks are coming off a tough 19-17 loss to San Francisco as 2.5-point road underdogs, but they still have one of the best road records in the league at 5-2 both straight-up and against the spread.

At 11-2 SU (9-4 ATS) they also remain the most complete team in the NFL with an offense that is ranked fourth in points scored (27.5) and a defense that is second in points allowed (15.8).

New York finds itself riding out the string after last Sunday’s 37-14 loss to San Diego as a four-point road underdog dropped its overall record to 5-8 both SU and ATS.

While the Giants have done a much better job taking care of ball since racking-up a minus 16 turnover ratio during a dismal 0-6 start, their offense remains fairly anemic with an average of just 19.3 points a game.

It is very hard seeing this team keeping up with the Seahawks on either side of the ball in what should easily be a double-digit victory for Seattle.

Game 2 – Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts

Pointspread: Indianapolis -5.5
Total Line: 45.5

ATS Matchup Stats | NFL Gambling Insight!

Houston has to be looking forward to a swift and painless end to a season that started with two SU wins and has gone downhill ever since with 11 straight losses heading into this Sunday’s contest.

The Texans have actually remained fairly competitive during this slide behind a defense that is still ranked third in the NFL in total yards allowed, but their offense remains a sore spot with an average of just 19.2 points a game.

The Colts have already clinched the AFC South with a record of 8-5 SU, but they have not really played the part in their last five games with a 2-3 SU mark in which the offense has generated an average of just 19.8 points after scoring over 26 points a game in their first eight outings.

This Sunday could be a golden opportunity for Indianapolis to snap out of this funk with a solid win, but given both team’s current form on offense, points should be hard to come by.

The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last six meetings and I am sticking with that trend to continue in the back half of this week’s parlay.
