NFL Week 17 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
The Kansas City Chiefs escaped serious injury and are on the verge of securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Things looked bad a few weeks ago when Patrick Mahomes limped off the field in Carolina with an ankle injury. It was thought to be a significant injury at the time but it turned out not to be. Mahomes was in the lineup on Saturday leading the Chiefs to their 13th win of the season. The Chiefs will open a busy Week 17 when they visit Pittsburgh in the first of two games on Christmas day. The teams tied for first in the AFC North will both be in action with the Ravens visiting AFC South champ Houston in the second contest. Both visiting teams opened as betting favorites with KC laying a field goal and Baltimore spotting the Texans 4.5 points.
The betting week continues on Thursday with a NFC clash between Seattle and Chicago. A two-game losing streak has damaged the Seahawks playoff chances but they remain in the thick of the NFC West race trailing the Rams by a game with the teams squaring off in Week 18. Therefore this is a huge game for Seattle to stay alive. Meanwhile, the Bears would like to end a losing streak that reached nine games with Sunday’s 34-17 blowout loss to Detroit. This is also the final TNF game on the 2024 slate with Seattle a 3.5-point favorite on the early line.
A tripleheader of games takes place on Saturday with each contest affecting the playoff setup in some way. Only an epic meltdown would keep the AFC West’s Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos out of the postseason. LA’s win in Week 16 left both clubs at 9-6, two games ahead of Indianapolis for the final wild card spots. The Bolts travel across the country to take on New England where they are a 4-point favorite. Cincinnati is mathematically alive for the postseason and the Bengals need a lot to go in their favor. They must also win their game with Denver and are a 3-point favorite on the early line to do so.
The Rams can clinch the NFC West with two wins to close out the season. The first game is Saturday night against the Cardinals, who were eliminated in Sunday’s loss to Carolina. Kyler Murray had three TD passes and James Conner rushed for 122 yards and a score lifting Arizona to a 41-10 romp over the Rams in Week 2. The Rams have won eight of their last 10 with payouts in four straight and are favored by 6-points in the rematch.
The betting week closes on Monday Night Football with a rematch of last season’s NFC Championship. The Niners won that game advancing to the Super Bowl, but they’ll be watching the playoffs from home since they were eliminated in Sunday’s loss to Miami. The Niners have dropped five of six games failing to score more than 17 points in any of those setbacks. The Lions responded from a loss to the Bills by pounding Chicago last week and they are tied with NFC North foe Minnesota for the best record in the conference.

*Odds as of Tuesday, December 24, 1:00 PM ET
The outcome of games on Sunday could provide clarity on a few division races. The Eagles can clinch the NFC East with a win over Dallas, but injury concerns hover. Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett were both hurt in Sunday’s loss to Washington. Hurts entered the concussion protocol yet Philly still opened as a 10.5-point home favorite, one of two teams laying double figures on the opening line. Buffalo is spotting the Jets 10-points in their matchup.
The NFC South needs a winner and the Atlanta Falcons are in the driver’s seat after taking down the Giants 34-17 behind Michael Penix Jr. Taking over for Kirk Cousins and making his first career start, Penix threw for 202 yards in the rout. We’ll see another matchup of top QB draft picks in this one. Penix was the fourth QB taken in the 2024 draft at No. 8 overall and is the last to make a start. Washington’s Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick, cemented his status as Rookie of the Year by throwing five TD passes to beat Philly on Sunday.
