Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens: 2017 Week 17 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (6-9) at Baltimore Ravens (9-6) These two teams met way back in week 1, when the Ravens shut out the Bengals in a 20-0 victory. A lot has changed since then. After failing to score an offensive touchdown in either of their first two games of the season,…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers: 2017 Week 17 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (6-9) at Los Angeles Chargers (8-7) I’ve bet the Chargers frequently this season, as they’ve been on my underrated list all season. They are just 8-7, but they have a point differential of +63 that ranks 10th in the NFL and they have 43 more first downs and…

New York Jets (5-10) at New England Patriots (12-3) Since losing Josh McCown for the season with injury a few weeks back, the Jets have become arguably the worst team in the league, along with the Browns and the TJ Yates led Texans. They weren’t blown out by either the…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons: 2017 Week 17 NFL Pick
Carolina Panthers (11-4) at Atlanta Falcons (9-6) This is a big game for both teams. The Falcons can clinch a playoff spot with a win, but if they lose then they would need the Seahawks to lose at home to the Cardinals to remain in the playoff picture. The Panthers,…

New Orleans Saints (11-4) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-11) The Buccaneers had high hopes coming into this season, with former #1 overall pick Jameis Winston going into his 3rd season in the league and several additions coming in through free agency, but they have had a very disappointing season and…

San Francisco 49ers (5-10) at Los Angeles Rams (11-4) The Rams are another team that will be resting key players this week, including quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley, offensive linemen John Sullivan and Andrew Whitworth, and wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. They haven’t confirmed any defensive…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans: 2017 Week 17 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (10-5) at Tennessee Titans (8-7) The Jaguars are a prime candidate to rest their starters in week 17, as they are locked into the 3rd seed in the AFC. That seemed to be the expectation earlier in the week when they opened as 6-point underdogs in Tennessee, but…

Dallas Cowboys (8-7) at Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) The Eagles have the #1 seed in the NFC locked up and are a prime candidate to rest starters in week 17. The oddsmakers seem to think they will, listing them as 3-point home underdogs here at home against the Cowboys, but I…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2017 Week 17 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (0-15) at Pittsburgh Steelers (12-3) This is another game I will not be betting on because one team will be resting starters. The Steelers can still get the #1 seed if they win and the Patriots lose at home to the Jets, but clearly they do not think…

Kansas City Chiefs (9-6) at Denver Broncos (5-10) The Chiefs are one of several teams that will be resting starters this week with their playoff seeding locked up. The Chiefs clinched the AFC West last week, but can’t move any higher than the 4th seed in the AFC, so Alex…
