NFL Sunday in Week 17 is the penultimate week of the regular season. The playoffs are almost completely set, so a couple of these game are huge for getting those last spots settled.
Here are my plays for the NFL Sunday football action in Week 17.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Straights
Panthers +7.5 points (-115)
I do not believe the Panthers will win this game, I just like for them to keep this game within a touchdown. I also like that we are getting seven points with the home team here. There is a chance Seattle could win this game by 10+ points, I just like how good that the Panthers and Bryce Young have been playing lately to not take the +7.5 points.
My prediction is Seattle wins this game, and then both the NFC West and the NFC South come down to the divisional battles in Week 18.
Colts +5.5 points (-110)
This is the Colts last chance at keeping their playoff hopes alive. I do not believe their defense will play that bad again this week, but I am concerned because of how well Trevor Lawrence has been playing. We will truly see how much heart the Colts team has after their loss last week, as this game could go out one of two ways. One way is the Colts play it tough and they have a chance to win the game at the end. The other way is another no-show appearance like last week, and the Colts end up getting blown out at home. 
Saints money line (-145)
I like for the Saints to win the game against Tennessee. I just think that the Saints are the better team overall, and I also think that the winning against the Chiefs last week was the Titans last win of the season. 
Three bets I’m leaning that I’m not sure of is Patriots -13.5 (-110), Steelers -3 (-115), & the one I’m closest to taking is Buccaneers -5.5 (-112).
Props
Joe Burrow over 2.5 passing touchdowns (+136)
The Cardinals defense is not been good this year, and they are missing some of their best players coming into this week. The Bengals should score about 30 to 40 points, it’s just a matter of how will they score them? I like for Burrow to throw for three or four touchdown passes. 
Jacoby Brissett over 1.5 pass touchdowns (-112)
The Bengals defense is also not very good, so I like for the Cardinals to put up some points themselves. I like for Jacoby Brissett to throw for three touchdowns in this game. 
Trey McBride over 76.5 receiving yards (-112) & over 100+ receiving yards (+210)
Trey McBride came out and talked about how disappointed he was in how he played last game. With how bad the Bengals defense is at guarding the tight end, I look for him to have a monster game this week.
Chase Brown over 20+ receiving yards (-130)
With how bad the Cardinals defense has been, Chase Brown should be in set for yet another big game
Mike Evans over 56.5 receiving yards (-114)
I expect Mike Evans to get used heavily down the stretch, especially with the Buccaneers season being on the line these next two weeks. 
Greg Dulcich over 17.5 recieving yards (-114)
Dulcich has hit this over for us two weeks in a row, and has yet to hit under this number all season. 
Juwan Johnson over 45.5 receiving yards (-114)
I think the both Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson should have pretty good days against the Tennessee Titans. I will be betting on Johnson’s number, as I project him for a 6 receptions for 60 yards type of day.
Christian McCaffrey over 42.5 receiving yards (-114)
Christian McCaffrey is 163 receiving yards away from having another 1000 yard rushing and 1000 yard receiving season. Due to that, we will be taking this over in both of the next two games as the 49ers will be looking to most likely get that for him. The 49ers also will get the number one overall seed in the NFC if they win out. 
As for anytime touchdown scorers, I like: Ja’Marr Chase (-155), Jauan Jennings (+105), Trey McBride (+110), Michael Carter (+120), Zach Charbonnet (+100), Mike Evans (+140), Tyler Warren (+185), Trevor Lawrence (+250), Hunter Henry (+110), Taysom Hill (+200), & finally Josh Allen (+120).
