NFL Regular Season Week 17 Betting Outlook

You never know what will happen heading into each NFL game, since they are often a toss-up.  Many times, the underdogs can surprise you and come out ahead.

Only two weeks remain in the NFL season, and we are down to just a handful of playoff spots remaining. However, there are still four division titles to hand out, top seeds to secure, and 24 teams still in the running for a postseason berth.

The intensity is high, and the betting is the best of the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens – Sunday, January 1st, 2023 7:20 pm CST 

Will he or won’t he? That is the question at the beginning of the week that has the Steelers at Ravens currently off the board. The “he” is Lamar Jackson, and the question is about his availability to play on Sunday.

Baltimore did get a win this week with Tyler Huntley, but they failed to get to 300 yards against a bad Falcons defense. Now they face a good Steelers defense, and a team not yet eliminated from the playoffs. If Jackson does not play, Pittsburgh will be a good bet to get even closer to a playoff spot.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans- Sunday, January 1st, 2023 12:00 pm CST 

Just one more hurdle to get over, and Jacksonville will find itself playing the Titans for the AFC South division title in Week 18. But that hurdle is now bigger than it was just a couple of weeks ago. Houston played the Cowboys and Chiefs to within one score, and they beat the Titans last week.

Still, the red-hot Jags are the road favorite, giving 4 points and paying -213 on the moneyline.
