As we head into week 17 of the NFL season, that means that there are just two games remaining for each team in the league. This also means that the playoff races are really heating up and there are several teams facing a must-win situation.
Betting on the NFL in week 17 will provide some good opportunities as well. You will find even better bets to make if you look at making teaser bets and we have picked out the best bets for you.
6-Point NFL Week 17 Teaser Picks
Bears vs. Lions Prediction
Best Bet: Lions -5.5 to +0.5
NFC North rivals meet up in Detroit as the Lions host the Bears in what should be an interesting game. Detroit has been much improved this season, but they just proved in week 16 that they still have some work to do.
Justin Fields and that Bears offense can score some points and they will put a scare into the Lions. Get six extra points and take the Lions at +0.5, as they will survive at home.
Jaguars vs. Texans Prediction
Best Bet: Jaguars -4.0 to +2.0
The Jacksonville Jaguars now control their own destiny in the AFC South, something no one saw coming. Jacksonville will be on the road in Houston to face a Texans team that has been playing better of late as well.
Life on the road in the NFL is never easy and the Texans are good enough to keep this game close. The Jaguars should win this game, but it’s a good idea to get six points and take them at +2.0.
Panthers vs. Buccaneers Prediction
Best Bet: Buccaneers -3.0 to +3.0
The AFC South division title is on the line when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay continues to struggle to find offense, while the Panthers are now doing almost everything right.
It’s so hard to bet on the Bucs at this time, as they are just a complete mess on offense. You will want to move the line six points, as this game should come down to the final possession either way.
10-Point NFL Week 17 Teaser Picks
Broncos vs. Chiefs Prediction
Best Bet: Chiefs -13.5 to -3.5
The Chiefs host the Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium and this could be an interesting game. Kansas City is clearly the better team, but this game was close in the match-up in Denver.
The Broncos also just fired their head coach and that could allow them to play loose and free in this game. The Chiefs are going to win this game, but it won’t be a double-digit victory.
Vikings vs. Packers Prediction
Best Bet: Vikings +3.0 to +13.0
The Green Bay Packers are back in the playoff race as they host the Minnesota Vikings in week 17. Minnesota has already won the NFC North and they don’t really have anything to play for in this game.
Green Bay needs to win this game and they shouldn’t have much trouble getting that done. If you are betting on this game, then you will want ten extra points to get Minnesota at +13.0.
Jets vs. Seahawks Prediction
Best Bet: Jets -2.5 to +7.5
The Jets are slight favorites when hosting the Seahawks on Sunday, but it’s scary betting on New York. This team just continues to be a mess on offense and they are playing a Seattle team that can score some points.
The Seahawks are going to try to play the role of spoiler in this game and they might be good enough to get it done. Take the 10 points and swing this bet to the Jets at +7.5.
