NFL Week 17 Games
New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
Dec. 28, 8:20 p.m. ET (TNF)
- Jets +7 (-110) @ Browns -7 (-110)
Joe Flacco will look to continue his magical run with the Browns by defeating his former team in the Jets.
This has the look of a classic low-scoring game on Thursday Night Football, however. We could see Flacco struggle to move the ball against an elite Jets’ pass defense.
Seven points feels like too many in a game where points could be hard to come by.
Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys
Dec. 30, 8:15 p.m. ET (Saturday)
- Lions +6 (-110) @ Cowboys -6 (-110)
The Cowboys have been completely dominant at home, winning 13 in a row, nine of which were by double-digits.
Dallas will look to bounce back from consecutive losses against the Bills and Dolphins, while the Lions could be ripe for a letdown after clinching the NFC North in Week 16.
Look for Dak Prescott and company to get it done in this spot.
Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Rams -6.5 (-105) @ Giants +6.5 (-115)
The Rams continue to roll, knocking off the Saints in Week 16 for their fifth win in their last six games.
They should be able to keep it going against a Giants team that is just playing out the year right now.
Bet on the Rams to stay hot in their playoff push in our NFL bet of the day.
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Cardinals +10.5 (-118) @ Eagles -10.5 (-104)
The Eagles took care of business against the Giants at home in Week 16, but they almost blew the game, which was a bit concerning.
But this is a smash spot at home against the Cardinals, who are now 3-12 on the year following yet another double-digit loss, this time to the Bears.
Expect Jalen Hurts and company to have a big game against one of the worst teams in football.
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Patriots +11.5 (-108) @ Bills -11.5 (-112)
The Bills have now won three in a row, putting themselves in strong position to make the playoffs.
Buffalo survived a potential letdown game in a close win over the lowly Chargers in Week 16.
On the other hand, the Patriots pulled off an upset over the Broncos. But this feels like a game where they’ll be unable to keep pace with Josh Allen and company.
New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Saints +2.5 (-102) @ Buccaneers -2.5 (-120)
The Bucs are scorching hot right now, winning four in a row, capped off by a blowout win over the Jaguars in Week 16.
This is a pivotal NFC South showdown, as Tampa holds a one-game lead over the Saints.
I’m betting on a letdown here from Baker Mayfield and the Bucs. Look for the Saints to avoid the season sweep here.
Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Dolphins +3.5 (-105) @ Ravens -3.5 (-115)
Here we have a matchup between two of the best teams in the AFC, each of which are coming off impressive wins in Week 16.

Everyone is all over the Ravens right now following their blowout victory over the 49ers, but I like getting Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins past the key number of three here.
I’ll take the Dolphins +3.5.
Las Vegas Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Raiders +3 (-110) @ Colts -3 (-110)
The Raiders defense is one of the hottest units in football right now, allowing only 38 points in their last three games.
Vegas is riding high following a blowout win over the Chargers and a major upset against the Chiefs.
This feels like a letdown against the Colts, who are still fighting for a playoff spot.
San Francisco 49ers @ Washington Commanders
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- 49ers -13.5 (-110) @ Commanders +13.5 (-110)
The 49ers were humbled in a home loss to the Ravens last week. You can bet that they’ll get back on track against the Commanders, who may be the worst team in the NFL right now.
Washington has gone 2-11 in their last 13 games. Don’t be fooled by their meaningless comebacks in garbage time in the last two weeks.
Expect San Francisco to blow out the Commanders in this one.
Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Panthers +7 (-110) @ Jaguars -7 (-110)
The Panthers have been playing better under interim coach Chris Tabor, going 3-1 against the spread in four games.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars have lost four games in a row and have lost their grip on the AFC South.
We could see Bryce Young and the Panthers put a scare in the Jags in this one.
Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Falcons +3 (-115) @ Bears -3 (-105)
The Bears have been playing great since acquiring Montez Sweat, going 4-2 in their last six games.
The Falcons thrive when getting their running game going, but the Bears have an elite run defense.
Look for Chicago to slow down Atlanta on the ground and get another win here.
Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
Dec. 31, 1 p.m. ET
- Titans +3.5 (-110) @ Texans -3.5 (-110)
The Texans are in a must-win situation in a home game against the Titans.
There’s a good chance that C.J. Stroud will be able to return for this game, which is great news for Houston.
The only problem is that the Titans continue to play hard under Mike Vrabel. I like getting Tennessee past the key number of three.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Seattle Seahawks
Dec. 31, 4:05 p.m. ET
- Steelers +3.5 (-115) @ Seahawks -3.5 (-105)
The Seahawks have now won two in a row, strengthening their position in the NFC Wild Card race.
Pittsburgh is coming off a huge win over the Bengals, but Mason Rudolph could have a tougher time on the road.
While this should be a close game, I’d bet on Geno Smith and Seattle.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Dec. 31, 4:25 p.m. ET
- Chargers +5.5 (-110) @ Broncos -5.5 (-110)
The Chargers looked much better under interim coach Giff Smith, coming close to upsetting the Bills.
Meanwhile, the Broncos had a brutal loss at home against the lowly Patriots. While I expect Denver to bounce back, it’s hard to feel confident on them with the point spread.
Look for the Chargers to keep it close.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs
Dec. 31, 4:25 p.m. ET
- Bengals +7 (-110) @ Chiefs -7 (-110)
The Chiefs just finished one of their worst performances in the Patrick Mahomes era in a home loss to the Raiders.
This feels like a get-right spot against the Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the NFL right now. Cincinnati was just shredded by Mason Rudolph.
Jake Browning should also have a tough time against the Chiefs defense. Bet on Kansas City to win this one easily.
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Dec. 31, 8:20 p.m. ET (SNF)
- Packers +1.5 (-105) @ Vikings -1.5 (-115)
Here we have a matchup between two NFC Wild Card hopefuls whose playoff hopes are slowly slipping away.
Green Bay has the advantage at quarterback here with Jordan Love over Nick Mullens, so we’ll take the Packers here as short road underdogs.
Look for Love to have another strong performance.
