There were bunches of big bets and interesting player-prop parlays between Thursday and Sunday, in NFL Week 16 odds and College Football Playoff odds.But arguably the most intriguing play is one that remains alive heading to Monday night.Picking any NFL game against the spread is often no easy task. Throwing three or four teams into a point-spread parlay significantly heightens the degree of difficulty.String together a 15-game spread parlay? Forget about it.Or maybe, think about it, as a DraftKings Sportsbook customer did. That ticket is alive running to tonight’s 49ers-Colts game, with a six-figure payout on the line.More on that pizza-money parlay, along with a million-dollar wager gone awry, and other big bets and fun parlay payouts, as we recap NFL and college football betting this past weekend.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.
