Week 12 is brimming with top-tier matchups. Read on for our top NFL parlay picks.

The insanity of this NFL season has put everything we thought we knew into a blender. The absence of dominant teams is fun, but it's also difficult for betting purposes.

Week 12 is filled with premier matchups amid this crazy campaign that's overflowing with upsets and bad beats. But we're continuing forward with the best picks to avoid big pitfalls.

The playoff picture is rounding into shape despite the chaos. Thanksgiving Day featured three games, so there's a lighter schedule than usual for Sunday. Now we're looking at the evening contests for a three-game parlay pick.

Here’s a look at my top evening NFL parlay picks for Week 12 (odds via DraftKings, and pick confidence is based on a one-to-five star scale).

Week 12 NFL Parlay Picks

Los Angeles Rams vs. Green Bay Packers Under 47.5 (-110) ????Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens -3.5 (-110) ????Los Angeles Chargers -2.5 (-115) vs. Denver Broncos  ???SEE ALSO: Expert Betting Picks for Week 12

NFL Parlay Picks

Rams vs. Packers Under 47.5 (-110)

Sean McVay is unquestionably a quality coach. But bad back-to-back losses have raised questions about his ability to adjust on the fly. He needs to step up and push the Rams to their ceiling to win big games, such as this one against the 8-3 Packers.

Green Bay is beaten up, and the team has its own concerns after a shocking loss to Minnesota last week. With both clubs disjointed on either side of the ball and tension in the air, I'm looking for the Under to hit in our NFL parlay picks as things get sloppy.

Browns vs. Ravens -3.5 (-110)

We've seen some stellar games between the Ravens and Browns over the last four years. This one matters more than most, as the Browns are in a must-win situation. Baltimore can endure a loss, but a win would propel the Ravens to a divisional crown and put the Browns in a tough spot before their bye.

Baker Mayfield isn't healthy for Cleveland, and he's not reliable enough in big games. Baltimore has its own issues, but the club has won eight out of its last 10 contests against Cleveland for good reason, and the Ravens have earned those victories by an average of 10 points. They'll win again this week as questions about Mayfield's future in Cleveland get louder.

Chargers -2.5 (-115) vs. Broncos

This game is the most important one of the week as far as playoff seeding is concerned. The Chargers are maddeningly inconsistent considering their talent level, but they can still take a big step toward the wild card or a divisional title with a win. At 6-4, it's now or never for the team and new staff to gel.

Meanwhile, Denver has been the definition of mediocre. The Broncos are 5-5 overall and against the spread. Their tough defense will keep them close, but I love the Chargers to win by a field goal. Don't hesitate to grab the points here.
