Bet Splits and Odds for Every NFL Game: Most Popular Picks in Week 17
With just two weeks left of NFL regular season action, the playoff race is coming down to the wire in both the AFC and NFC. Of the eight division titles up for grabs, only half have been claimed; Bills won the AFC East, Chiefs won the AFC West, Vikings won the NFC North, and 49ers won the NFC West. That leaves the title winners in the AFC North, AFC South, NFC East, and NFC South still undecided. Teams and fans will have a much clearer playoff picture after Week 17 is settled as there are seven games featuring matchups between division rivals.
From the betting perspective, there are just four home underdogs, including the Raiders (-9 vs. the 49ers) and the Bengals, who host the Bills (-1) on Monday Night Football. In terms of the sizes of the spreads, bettors will have to make decisions on what projects to be very close games. Ten of the 16 games have point spreads of fewer than five points while just two games have a spread of nine points or more.
