2023 NFL Week 17 Best Bets
Lions at Cowboys
The Cowboys are back at home after back-to-back losses against the Bills and Dolphins on the road. I expect the Cowboys to bounce back in a strong way. I am not a believer in the Lions, I believe that team got very lucky that Kirk Cousins got injured.
I believe the Cowboys blow the Lions out and send a statement to the rest of the NFC. I will easily lay the points since the Cowboys have yet to lose at home, and their average margin of victory is like 20 points.
Cowboys -4 (+100) 2 Units
Dolphins at Ravens
This feels like a horrible spot for the Dolphins. The Dolphins are coming off a huge win over the Cowboys in a close-fought game. Having to travel to Baltimore after the Ravens just crushed the Niners, feels like a difficult situation for the Dolphins. I don’t like this matchup at all.
I think the Ravens win this one going away. This is a schedule loss for the Dolphins as the Ravens lock up the one seed with this one.
Ravens -3.5 (+100) 2 Units
Cardinals at Eagles
I did not understand this spread at all. While I think the Eagles are better than the Cardinals, I was shocked the Eagles are laying 11 points at home! A double-digit point spread. This doesn’t feel right at all.
This Eagles team is not that much better than the Cardinals. They have been reeling of late and I don’t believe they can blow anyone out right now. I’ll take all 11 points in this revenge matchup for Jonathan Gannon.
Cardinals +11 (+100) 2 Units
Packers at Vikings
The Packers are playing well right now, and despite this game being at home for the Vikings, I think the wrong team is favored. The Vikings have been unable to figure out the QB situation since Kirk Cousins went down.
I believe they started Jaren Hall last week against the Lions and he threw 4 interceptions. They’re is only so much a coach can do to cover up for the weaknesses of the QB spot. That’s why I believe the Packers win this game, the Vikings can not generate any offense with a makeshift starter at QB.
Give me the underdog Packers in this one.
Packers +2 (+100) 2 Units
