Week 17 Picks

Bolded for spread

Oakland Raiders (-13.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs - The Raiders seem friskier the past few weeks while the Chiefs have not appeared to be as dominant the last few weeks without Kareem Hunt.

New York Jets @ New England Patriots (-13.5)(LOCK) - The Patriots all 5 losses against teams that are not going to playoffs but are still undefeated at home and are playing for a first round bye.

Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills (-4) - Buffalo Bills look to complete series sweep against the Dolphins.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings (-4.5) - If the Rams beat the 49ers, the Bears will have nothing to play for



Cleveland Browns (+5.5) @ Baltimore Ravens  - Arguably the Browns biggest game in the past 12 years for Cleveland.  The Ravens will likely win this game in what will determine their playoff fortunes.

Detroit Lions (+8) @ Green Bay Packers - Neither team has not much to play for in this one.  The Lions already beat the Packers earlier this season and it is a rivalry game.


 Carolina Panthers (+7.5) @ New Orleans Saints - Teddy Bridgewater is starting in this one.  Cam Newton is out but Christian McCaffrey could do enough to keep it close.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans (-6.5)(LOCK) - Houston coming off a loss and the Jaguars are coming off a win but look for the opposite to hold true.





Dallas Cowboys (+6) @ New York Giants - The Cowboys have nothing to play for and are resting players.  Without Odell Beckham Jr., this game could still be close.





Philadelphia Eagles(-6.5)(LOCK) @ Washington Redskins - Nick Foles threw for 471 yards 4 touchdowns and 1 interception against a good Texans defense.  Look for the the Eagles to take advantage of a Redskins team that has nothing to play for.  Plus there is a good chance that the stadium is filled with Eagles fans.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The Falcons are coming off a 2 game winning streak but against 2 of the worst teams in the NFL including the Cardinals and Panthers, who were playing without Cam Newton.  The Bucs have lost 3 straight but against 3 potential playoff teams including the Saints, Ravens, and Cowboys.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-14.5) - No AJ Green, Boyd and Andy Dalton for the Bengals in a must win game for the Steelers.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks (-13.5) (LOCK) - Seattle is playing for its playoff lives against a really banged up Cardinals team

San Francisco 49ers(+10) @ Los Angeles Rams - The 49ers were a QB run away from extending a drive to pull ahead of the Bears.   Todd Gurley is out.




Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5) @ Denver Broncos - Denver is running on fumes without Lindsay and Sanders and have had bad losses to the Raiders and 49ers in the last few week.

Indianapolis Colts (-3) @ Tennessee Titans - Colts won 38-10 earlier in the season.  While the Titans looked impressive at times against the Redskins, Marcus Mariota is not expected to play.  Andrew Luck is undefeated against the Titans so far in his career.
