Putting together an NFL parlay is always a great betting option, and it doesn’t have to be spooky. There are some great betting options every single week, and combining a Week 8 matchup with a NFL Week 9 game is a great way to go.
There are a couple of great betting NFL matchups to look at for the primetime games, and that should be your focus with this wager. Here is a look at the two best bets to make when putting together a spooky NFL parlay.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns
When the NFL schedule came out for Week 8, the Monday Night Football matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns stood out.
Both teams are desperate for a win on Monday Night Football, and it should set up for a great battle.
The NFL odds for this game have the Cincinnati Bengals as the favorites at -3.5 over the Cleveland Browns.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals are trying to get back on top of the NFL standings after getting all the way to the Super Bowl a season ago. Cincinnati comes into this game with a record of 4-3, but they have rattled off two straight wins.
NFL Injury Report
Cincinnati does come into this game with some bad news on the NFL injury report, as Ja’Marr Chase is not going to be active for this game.
Joe Burrow
Quarterback Joe Burrow is still capable of having a game in this one, and it will be needed as the Bengals have struggled to get stops at times.
The Bengals will be coming into this game with the expectation that they can throw their way to a win.
Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have been struggling to win NFL matchups as they continue to be without their starting quarterback.
Deshaun Watson won’t return to the field until Week 13, and the Browns might be out of the playoff race by that point.
Browns Scoring Points
Cleveland is scoring 24 points per game this season while allowing 26 points on the other end of the field. The Browns are capable of running the football well, but they just don’t have much of a passing attack.
Cleveland is going to have to play great on defense if they plan to knock off Joe Burrow and the Bengals.
NFL Pick: Bengals -3 (-120)

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Houston Texans
You also want to look at the Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup when putting together your spooky NFL parlay.
That game will feature the Houston Texans hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that will have a huge spread.
That line has opened as the Philadelphia Eagles -13.0, and it could actually get much larger as time goes on. This game will feature the undefeated Eagles at 7-0, taking on the 1-5-1 Houston Texans.
Philadelphia Eagles
Not only have the Philadelphia Eagles rolled out to a perfect 7-0 start, but the NFL team stats for this team have been terrific.
Philadelphia comes into Week 9 averaging 28 points per game while holding their opponents to just 16 points per week.
Jalen Hurts
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is having a monster season for the Eagles, as he has thrown for 1,799 yards and ten touchdowns on the year.
Philadelphia is a team that wants to play fast on offense, and they are a tough team to slow down.
Eagles’ Defense
The defense of the Eagles has been underrated up to this point, but that unit is capable of shutting everything down. There just aren’t many holes on this roster, and that is why they are 7-0 to begin the year.
Houston Texans
Running back Dameon Pierce has racked up some impressive NFL player stats so far this season, as he has rushed for 539 yards and three touchdowns.
Pierce is going to have to have a monster game for the Texans if they are going to have any shot of keeping this one close.
Houston is scoring just 16.6 points per game so far in 2022-23 while allowing 22.0 points on the other end of the field.
Texans in Their Most Competitive Games
The Houston Texans have been competitive in most of their games so far this season, but they just haven’t been able to rack up the wins.
It’s going to take the best effort of the year for the Texans to keep this game close on Thursday night.
NFL Pick: Eagles -14 (+105)
