The 2026 NFL Championship Round takes place on Sunday with a pair of No. 1 seeds hosting contests. The top-seeded Broncos will host the Patriots (-3.5, 43) at 3 p.m. ET, followed by No. 1 Seattle hosting the Rams (+2.5, 46) at 6:30 p.m. ET. An NFL longshot parlay could be appealing considering the various alternate lines, NFL props, exact score predictions and other plus-money returns available. The Pats have won four straight games by double-digits, so expecting another big victory for them with your Championship Round NFL predictions could have you looking at alternate spreads.
If you see New England winning by two touchdowns, then backing Patriots (-13.5) has +276 NFL odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. Predicting New England to win by 13-18 points would return +550 with your NFL bets, while Denver winning by 1-6 points returns +340. These could be standalone Championship Round NFL bets, or you could string them with other wagers to form a monster payout in an NFL parlay. Effectively building parlays can pay off big in your NFL betting strategy.
