SportsLine model projects $1.2M longshot parlay for divisional round Sunday

Cbssports reports the 2026 NFL divisional round concludes on Sunday with the New England Patriots (-3.5) hosting the Houston Texans at 3 p.m. ET and the Chicago Bears (+4.5) hosting the Los Angeles Rams at 6:30 p.m. ET.

SportsLine’s computer simulation, which the service says simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has locked in a longshot parlay it projects would pay $1.2 million on a $10 bet. The model is said to be up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception and enters the divisional round on a 53-37 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024; SportsLine notes the parlay combines player props, alternate lines and exact-score predictions, and the full picks are available only at SportsLine.

One highlighted selection is Rams tight end Colby Parkinson as an anytime touchdown scorer at +230 — Parkinson had 43 receptions (86th in the regular season) and scored eight touchdowns (tied for 11th), piling up those scores after not scoring in the first six weeks and adding a touchdown in the wild-card round. The model projects Parkinson to score 36% of the time on Sunday and the parlay reportedly includes additional touchdown props returning +600 or higher; the complete parlay and individual picks are available at SportsLine.
