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 New England Patriots are set to face off in the final game of the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday. DraftKings Sportsbook has New England pegged as a 3-point favorite in Foxborough. The Patriots have only lost one game since Week 4, marching their way to their first AFC East crown in six years. As for the Texans, they enter the weekend just as hot with 10 consecutive wins. They used a huge fourth-quarter surge to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-6 in the AFC Wild Card Round on Monday night.
If you feel good about the Patriots defending their home turf, here is a fresh NFL SGP Anchor via the Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer.
- New England Patriots moneyline (-175)
- New England Patriots first team to score (-130)
- Drake Maye under 19.5 pass completions (-113)
- Drake Maye under 29.5 pass attempts (-110)
- Rhamondre Stevenson under 10.5 rushing attempts (-122)
- Rhamondre Stevenson 100+ alt rushing + receiving yards (+462)
- TreVeyon Henderson under 1.5 receptions (-167)
- Hunter Henry 40+ alt receiving yards (-106)
Combined Odds: +7500
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit in each of New England’s last three wins. So, instead of simply picking Patriots moneyline at -175, you can ride these additional trends on Sunday vs. the Texans.
On the other side of the contest, picking Stroud not to throw an interception could be a smart play considering the Patriots have only picked off three passes in their last 10 games. 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 under 0.5 interceptions thrown (-106)
- C.J. Stroud under 10.5 rushing yards (-109)
- Christian Kirk under 3.5 receptions (+105)
- Christian Kirk under 38.5 receiving yards (-111)
- Houston Texans first team to score (+100)
- Houston Texans moneyline (+145)
Combined Odds: +6500
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit the last four times Stroud went under 0.5 interceptions. Keep these trends in mind if you’re confident in Stroud protecting the ball Sunday afternoon.
