Ahead of the 2026 NFL playoffs, DraftKings launched a brand new tool to help you build the ultimate parlay. Start by selecting one pick – an “Anchor” bet – and choose how many legs you want. Then, the Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer will give you a custom parlay based on games in which the Anchor bet has previously won.
The Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face off in the final game of Super Wild Card Weekend on Monday night. DraftKings Sportsbook has Houston pegged as a 3-point favorite despite playing on the road. The Texans, after all, closed the regular season on a nine-game winning streak to secure the No. 5 seed in the AFC. As for Pittsburgh, they went 10-7 for the third straight season following a 4-1 finish. That closing stretch included a Week 17 loss to the Browns, though, and they were a Ravens field goal away from missing the postseason entirely.
If you feel good about the Steelers pulling off the upset on their own home turf, here is a fresh NFL SGP Anchor via the Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer.
- Pittsburgh Steelers Moneyline (+130)
- Aaron Rodgers 200+ passing yards (-123)
- Aaron Rodgers over 21.5 passing completions (-107)
- Kenneth Gainwell over 4.5 receptions (-156)
- Kenneth Gainwell 25+ receiving yards (-225)
- Jaylen Warren over 1.3 receptions (-154)
- Jonna Smith under 13.5 receiving yards (-117)
Combined Odds: +2100
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit in each of Pittsburgh’s last four wins. So, instead of simply picking Steelers moneyline at +130, you can ride these additional trends on Monday vs. the Texans.
On the other side of the contest, picking C.J. Stroud to record over 228.5 passing yards could be a smart play considering he is going against a bottom-four pass defense. The Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer has run the numbers on that pick’s past success as an NFL SGP Anchor, as well.
- C.J. Stroud over 228.5 passing yards (-112)
- C.J. Stroud under 11.5 rushing yards (-115)
- Houston Texans -3 spread (-105)
- Houston Texans first team to score (-125)
- Woody Marks under 1.5 receptions (-104)
- Woody Marks under 10.5 receiving yards (-118)
- Christian Kirk under 17.5 receiving yards (-109)
- Xavier Hutchinson over 15.5 receiving yards (-108)
Combined Odds: +6500
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit the last three times Stroud rushed for 229 or more yards. Keep these trends in mind if you’re confident in Stroud airing it out Monday night.
