The 2026 NFL divisional round will conclude on Sunday with two games as the Patriots host the Texans (+3) at 3 p.m. ET and the Bears host the Rams (-4.5) at 6:30 p.m. ET. Standard wagers like spread predictions, NFL player props and money line bets are just some of the options, but there's a growing popularity for alternate lines, exact score predictions and other plus-money returns as legs in an NFL longshot parlay.
Houston scored two defensive touchdowns in its wild-card win over Pittsburgh last week. The Pats had two turnovers last week, so one could utilize the Texans' defense/special teams as an anytime TD scorer, which has +500 odds, while that notching another pair of defensive scores would notch a massive +4500 return. That could be a standalone divisional round NFL bet or it could be one leg of a longshot parlay which could net a huge return.
