Cooterdoodle breaks down her Divisional Round longshot NFL parlays in her latest Scared Money installment.

Don't get scared now.
You can bet on silly little Puka Nacua ATDs on your own time. We have ghosts to watch out for, MVP battles to fight and big D's to admire! We have sweats to chase, people!!
It's Divisional Weekend, baby. Let's get into the Divisional Round Parlays ...
The Three Scared Money Bylaws:

It's the biggest wager of the week, because I've got big D energy, baby!! Let's root for a little chaos, shall we?
Four games. Four legs. Four interceptions!
HOU vs NE: The Texans secured Aaron Rodgers' first interception in over 230+ consecutive completed passes last weekend. Now, Houston faces Drake Maye, who has thrown an INT in seven out of his last 11 games. But it’s really worse than that: Two of those four non-INT games were both against the Jets, who made NFL history this season with ZERO INT on the year. So, I think we can all agree that those two games don’t even count.
SF vs SEA: Seattle has already faced the 49ers twice this season, and they have three interceptions to show for it. With 18 total INT on the year, what’s one more against San Fran?
LAR vs CHI: I really wanted to build a leg with a Caleb Williams INT, but the books didn't even have that option available at the time of writing. So I'll go with Matthew Stafford instead. Hey, the Bears have caught an interception in all but five games this year … And that nasty weather in Chicago should help us out.
BUF vs DEN: THIS is the matchup I'm torn over. I know Josh Allen doesn't have any WRs left to throw to, but he's gone six consecutive weeks without throwing an INT. Plus, the Bills defense will need to make some big plays to keep them in the game, right? Bo Nix, I chose you.
Four legs. Four interceptions:

**PSA: Keep an eye on Sam Darnold's playing status … But the QB says he's ready.
Let me start by reminding you of Darnold's 2024 season in Minnesota. It was great, until it wasn't.
BUT in their first playoff game … Darnold was sacked nine times for a loss of 80+ yards, threw an INT and only managed one passing TD in their loss. OOF.
Now with Seattle, Darnold is yet again 14-3 in the regular season heading into his first playoff game after their Bye. I know this is a different team and a different organization, but is Darnold a different man?
I'm betting on Sam seeing ghosts again.

I don't care what the talking heads have to say. We only have four games this weekend, and I WANT DOPAMINE. So I'm rooting for fast-paced offenses to score again and again
And again.
It shouldn't be that hard, considering:
We just need the other QBs to show up, the weather to calm down, and for Josh Allen to find someone to pass the f*cking ball to.
I'm betting on the games I want to see. So sue me, you goddamn p*ssies!

Not only do we have the two main frontrunners for MVP fighting to stay alive this weekend, but 2024's MVP is still fighting for another win.
We've got a real MVP battle on our hands, boys!! And these QBs are going to have to prove themselves in more ways than one.
But who's afraid of Mother Nature, depleted WR room and tough matchups? Not me! I'm betting on each QB to throw at least two TDs, win their games … And we’re taking a couple of overs.
9-leg MVP parlay:

If I'm going to root for an underdog, it sure as hell won't be a slightly unfavored team that's actually got a shot at winning.
That's pretend underdog sh*t.
I want to root for someone that really, truly, doesn't have a chance in hell. Like a 32-year-old WR who hasn't scored a TD all season. Or a fullback who hasn't scored since Week 6 of 2024. Or the backup to Woody Marks.
The conditions have to be just perfect for them to even get their shot at the end zone. And even then, it probably won't happen.
But that's what a true underdog story is all about, baby! At least, to me …
There underdogs:
