Week 17 is here and NFL fans are ready to witness an action-packed Sunday. Even though there are fewer games this week, the action is still hot. With nine games scheduled, it’s time to talk about three key bets: an overall, an underdog and a favorite that deserves your attention.
Nine matchups are in play, and if you’re looking to make smart bets, you’ve come to the right place, let’s dive in.

Colts vs. Giants: Expect a low-scoring game

This looks like a slow game on the defensive end. The offenses were weak for both teams and the quarterbacks underperformed. Drew Lock had a bad season, ranking as the worst quarterback in several statistics. On the other hand, Joe Flacco hasn’t been much better. These two offenses rank at the bottom of the league, 29th and 32nd in efficiency. Even though the Colts have a decent running game, it’s not enough to spark a high-scoring game. This game will probably be difficult.

Choice: Under 40.5 (-110)

Packers vs. Vikings: Green Bay’s winning streak

The Packers are peaking at the right time, and it’s thanks to good coaching from Matt LaFleurwhich has a record from December 20 to 3. Green Bay is now second in the league in net yards per play, which shows how much they have improved. Meanwhile, the Vikings have slipped to 11th in the same stat and 21st in their last three games. The momentum is on the Packers’ side, and they have a solid chance of pulling out a win as underdogs.

Falcons vs. Commanders: A tough matchup for Atlanta

The Falcons face a tough challenge against the Commanders, a team that thrives in matchups like this. Atlanta’s defense struggles against mobile quarterbacks and Washington’s offense is ready to take advantage.
Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had an easy first start last week, but this one will be much more difficult. The injury woes continue for Atlanta with various key players, including Drake London, injured.
Washington’s defense has been among the best of late, ranking third in stopping opposing passers since Week 10. This game could prove to be a long one for the Falcons.

Choice: Commanders -3.5 (-105)
