Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season includes a Sunday afternoon showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs. Times are dire for both teams these days, so to say that this game is crucial would be an understatement. Cincinnati (8-7) absolutely has to have it for its playoff hopes, while Kansas City (9-6) has not yet wrapped up the AFC West title or even a wild-card berth.
Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 4:25 pm ET on CBS. Also be sure to check out our full Bengals vs Chiefs predictions.
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose.

At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Cincinnati running back Joe Mixon to score a touchdown. But even if he does, there is no reason why the Chiefs can't take care of business. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
