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 New England Patriots and Denver Broncos are set to face off in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. DraftKings Sportsbook has New England pegged as a 5.5-point favorite despite the harsh road environment. The Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3 in the Wild Card Round and the Houston Texans 28-16 in the Divisional Round, with both of those contests taking place in Foxborough. As for the Broncos, they came out of their first-round bye with a 33-30 overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. And while the Broncos lost quarterback Bo Nix to a season-ending ankle injury at the end of their latest win, the Patriots are 0-4 all-time in Denver in the postseason.
If you feel good about the Patriots advancing to the Super Bowl game over the Broncos, here is a fresh NFL SGP Anchor via the Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer.
- New England Patriots Moneyline (-205)
- New England Patriots first team to score (-130)
- Drake Maye under 19.5 completions (-106)
- Drake Maye under 29.5 pass attempts (-109)
- Rhamondre Stevenson 80+ alt rushing + receiving yards (+116)
- TreVeyon Henderson over 8.5 rushing attempts (-122)
Combined Odds: +1100
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit in each of New England’s last four wins. So, instead of simply picking Patriots moneyline at -258, you can ride these additional trends on Sunday vs. the Broncos.
On the other side of the contest, picking the Broncos to pull off the upset could be a smart play considering their heavy homefield advantage. The Free Trending Parlay Picks Optimizer has run the numbers on that pick’s past success as an NFL SGP Anchor, as well.
- Denver Broncos Moneyline (+170)
- Denver Broncos first team to score (+100)
- Marvin Mims Jr. under 2.5 rushing yards (-120)
Combined Odds: +650
Creating a parlay with the appropriate angles on the specific totals listed above would have hit the last three times the Broncos won. Keep these trends in mind if you’re confident in Denver eking one out Sunday afternoon.
