2023 Week 17 Picks


The NFL and the Broncos could face legal action arbitration from 
the NFL Players association for benching Russell Wilson
according to the Washington Post


New England Patriots (+12) @ Buffalo Bills - The Bills did not take care of business completely against the Chargers.  The Patriots may have mailed in most of the season but they are coming off a win against the Broncos.

Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears (-3) -  Perhaps the cold weather will favor the Bears even though the Falcons are coming off an impressive win against the Colts.

Las Vegas Raiders (+3) @ Indianapolis Colts - The Raiders are playing well and perhaps can exploit Minshew and the Colts who only put up 10 points last week.

Los Angeles Rams (-6)(LOCK) @ New York Giants - The Rams have taken care of business down the stretch as they are looking to keep their playoff hopes alive.  A loss to the giants here would be deflating.

Arizona Cardinals (+10.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles- The Eagles may miss their defensive coordinator who is now the head coach of the Cardinals.  

New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3)- A division game where Tampa may win although it should be an evenly matched game plus Derrick Carr may struggle.

San Francisco 49ers (-13.5) @ Washington Commanders- Chase Young makes his return back to Washington.  Jacoby Brissett is a late scratch meaning the 49ers are poised to have a bounce back game.  

Carolina Panthers (+7) @ Jacksonville Jaguars - The Panthers kept it close against the Packers and Trevor Lawrence is banged up.

Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) - The Ravens struggle a lot against Tyreek Hill although their defense is playing well.  

Tennessee Titans (+3.5) @ Houston Texans - These two teams just played perhaps the Titans can even the series.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos (-5.5)- The Chargers will be without Keenan Allen and Joshua Palmer while Russell Wilson is benched.

Cincinnati Bengals (+7) @ Kansas City Chiefs- Browning did struggle last week although he had played well in his previous 4 outings.  The Chiefs will look to back on track or could be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs.  Jamarr Chase returns.

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings (-2) - The Packers barely held on against the Panthers.  Chandler looked explosive in the backfield last week.
