Week 17 Picks

Last regular game of the season. Our advice is to avoid betting the overs. Very little focus is placed on these games and it turns into a pseudo-pre-season game for many teams. Unders are preferred.

Teams that need wins will have big juices. Jets, Denver in the AFC. A win and they are in the playoffs. Pretty much locks but can they beat the double digit spreads, not sure.

Here are our picks.

Pittsburgh Steelers +6 over Cincinnati Bengals (1.5 Units) - The Bengals only hope of getting into the playoffs is if there are losses by the Broncos and Jets. The Steelers have no chance. But this is a division rivalry battle that will be taken to the trenches regardless of what happens in the rest of the AFC. For that reason, we expect the Steelers to cover this big spread.

Minnesota Vikings +2.5 over St. Louis Rams (1.5 Units) - The Rams are in the thick of the 7-8 battle in the NFC for last seed of the playoffs. But Minnesota is at home and getting points.

Greenbay Packers +3 over Chicago Bears (2.0 Units) - The Packers may or may not have a playoffs chance by the time this game is played but it could be Favre's last game. He tends to shine in big games anyways. The Bears have nothing to play for. They have a first round bye but they will not be playing hard, let alone on Monday. We know they are going up against their rivals so that is why we do not peg the Packers as a 3.0 unit play.
