Default any way to hedge my bet here? (NFL wild card)

A couple days a go I threw down a bet on a pretty ridiculous long-shot parlay bet. I took every road team (underdog) in this weekend's wild card games. I bet the moneyline in all instances.

A $7 bet to win $1,010.70. Hey, what the hell, right?

I expected the Rams to win today and they did. I thought the Jets had a fair shot to win today, and they did.

Now I'm halfway to a glorious payday at ridiculous odds.

Obviously if the Broncos do manage to pull off a huge upset and win the early game tomorrow, I place a pretty heft bet on Minnesota in the late game. That much is pretty clear to me (I could set up something like a 500 win if the Packers cover, 500 if Minnesota wins, or 1500 if the Pack win without covering).

But is there any way I can bet the early game to guarantee coming away with something? Indy on the money line is an absolutely terrible value (-550) and I'm genuinely concerned about them covering the spread becasue there defense is so afwul.

Any thoughts on what I could/should do here? I'm more interested in coming away with a decent amount of money than really rolling the dice on the big cash.

edit: maybe something involving the over/under or even total score prop bets?
