Three-team money-line parlay set for 2026 NFL Divisional Round

Cbssports reports SportsLine NFL expert Jeff Hochman is targeting a three-team money-line parlay for the 2026 Divisional Round: Seattle Seahawks over the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots over the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams over the Chicago Bears.

Hochman cites Seattle's rest, home-field advantage at Lumen Field and a dominant defense — including 6.0 yards per pass allowed, a 32.0% third‑down defense conversion rate, 3.7 yards per carry against the run and a -24.2% overall defensive DVOA — as reasons to back the Seahawks, noting the 49ers are missing several key players including George Kittle. He also flags Houston's short rest after a Monday win, a compromised receiving corps with Nico Collins dealing with a concussion, a 30th-ranked pass-block win rate up front and other matchup concerns as rationale for leaning to New England.

On the Rams, Hochman points to a top‑ranked 31.2% offensive DVOA, Matthew Stafford's 109.2 passer rating and favorable run-matchup against a Bears defense that allowed about 5 yards per carry. The Divisional Round games are set for Saturday and Sunday — with top seeds returning Saturday (Denver vs. Buffalo and Seattle vs. San Francisco) and Houston at New England plus Chicago hosting Los Angeles on Sunday — and the outcomes of those games will determine the success of Hochman's parlay.
