Week 17 NFL Vegas Game Lines: Point Spreads & Betting Totals
Handicapping Week 17 is no easy task, which is why when oddsmakers post those early season odds in the spring, they only list odds for Weeks 1-16. The biggest thing is you have a bunch of teams with a lot still at stake against teams who are just playing for pride.
The books know the public is drawn to the teams with something to play for against those that don’t, so you can expect to a premium on most favorites. The problem is, you just don’t know which of the bottom feeders are going to show up and try and play spoiler and which ones are counting down the minutes to the offseason.
There are 9 games on Sunday with playoff implications and 7 that don’t have a team with anything to play for. Note that two of those games with nothing to play for include playoff teams in the Bills and Vikings. Buffalo is locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC and Minnesota is locked into the No. 6 seed, so winning or losing does nothing for either team.
The 9 games with playoff implications are the Saints at Panthers (New Orleans playing for first round bye), Dolphins at Patriots (New England needs to win to lock up No. 2 seed), Packers at Lions (Green Bay playing for first round bye), Chargers at Chiefs (KC playing for No. 3 seed and potentially a first round bye), Titans at Texans (Tennessee wins and they are No. 6 in AFC), Redskins at Cowboys (Dallas needs win and Eagles loss to win NFC East), Eagles at Giants (Philadelphia wins division with win), Steelers at Ravens (Pitt in Wild Card hunt), Raiders at Broncos (Oakland in Wild Card hunt) and 49ers and Seahawks (NFC West title at stake and potential first round bye).
