NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 17

Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -2
• Opening moneyline: Vikings -135/Packers +115
• Opening total: Over/Under 45 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 7:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff looming, the Vikings are slim -1 (-105) favorites at BetMGM. As noted in the previous update (see below), Minnesota opened -2 and dipped to -1 on the Thursday news that rookie QB Jaren Hall would start.

The Vikes rebounded to -2 Thursday night, then went to -1.5 Saturday and -1 (-105) early this evening. Green Bay is drawing 60% of spread bets/55% of spread cash. And on the moneyline, the Packers are landing 65% of bets/59% of dollars.

The total reached a low of 42 this afternoon, after opening at 45 and peaking at 46.5 early in the week. It's now 42.5, with 76% of bets/81% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Vikes opened -2 in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market and slid to -1.5 Wednesday. On Thursday evening, Minnesota hit a low -1, but quickly bounced back to -2. Today, however, the Vikings are back down to -1.

Early spread bettors are on underdog Green Bay, with ticket count 2.5/1 and money almost 4/1 on the Packers.

The total opened at 45, peaked at 46.5 Tuesday, then slid down to 43.5 by Thursday evening. It's still at 43.5 this afternoon, though tickets are 3/1 and money almost 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota (7-8 SU/7-5-3 ATS) is on a potentially season-killing 1-4 SU purge. In Week 17, the Vikings lost to Detroit 30-24 catching 2.5 points at home.

Green Bay (7-8 SU and ATS) halted an ill-timed 0-2 SU and ATS hiccup. The Packers edged Carolina 33-30, pushing as 3-point road favorites.

The SuperBook opened Packers-Vikes at Minnesota -2 in the NFL odds Week 17 market. There was no movement tonight on the spread nor on the 45 total.

"We're higher on the total than the market at the moment, because Green Bay especially feels like an over team right now," Michaelson said. "This will be an important game between two fairly evenly matched teams. We expect a nice handle."

Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -8
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -400/Bengals +300
• Opening total: Over/Under 45 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Forty minutes before kickoff, the Chiefs are laying 7 at BetMGM. Kansas City opened -8 last Sunday night, but fell to -7.5/-7 Tuesday, after the upset home loss to the Raiders.

K.C. bottomed out at -6.5 Friday, and the Chiefs have been at various iterations of -7 most of today. Kansas City is taking 60% of spread bets/68% of spread money.

BetMGM's total opened at 45 and peaked at 45.5 multiple times this week. The low point of 44 was reached on Thursday/Friday, and it's now up to 45.5 again. The Under is drawing 53% of bets, while 59% of money is on the Over.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: TwinSpires pegged Kansas City a 7.5-point favorite to open and moved to -7 after the Chiefs' stunning loss to the Raiders. The Bengals are getting the bulk of early spread play, at 62% of tickets/66% of money.

"Bettors seem to have thrown in the towel on K.C. There's sharp and public play on Cincy +7.5," Lucas said.

The total was steady at 44.5 through the first half of the week, then went to 44 today. The Over is seeing 59% of tickets/55% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: The Chiefs (9-6 SU/7-7-1 ATS) absorbed a stunning Christmas Day loss to the Raiders. Kansas City tumbled 20-14 as a 10.5-point home favorite and is on a 2-4 SU/1-5 ATS purge.

The SuperBook responded this morning with two moves on the Bengals-Chiefs spread. K.C. first dipped from -8 to -7 (-120), then to -7 flat. The total nudged down a half-point to 44.5.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Kansas City (9-5 SU/7-6-1 ATS) beat New England in Week 15 to halt a 1-3 SU slide. But the Chiefs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. K.C. isn't out of Week 16 yet, hosting Las Vegas on Christmas Day.

Cincinnati (8-7 SU/6-7-2 ATS) had its three-game SU run come to a crashing halt at Pittsburgh. The Bengals got blasted 34-11 as 3-point faves.

Kansas City is stable 8-point chalk tonight at The SuperBook.

"Not the Bengals' best effort in Pittsburgh Saturday, I think it's fair to say," Michaelson said. "We'll see about the health of Ja`Marr Chase, but we'll need Cincy in the late-afternoon slot. As it's currently lined, we'll see teasers tied to Kansas City."

Chase, Cincinnati's star wideout, missed the Pittsburgh game with a right shoulder injury.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening point spread: Broncos -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Broncos -250/Chargers +200
• Opening total: Over/Under 38.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff inside a half-hour, Denver sits at -3 (-105) on BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds board. The Broncos opened -5.5, then midweek – when Russell Wilson was benched – the line plunged as low as -3.

Denver has since toggled between -3.5/-4 a couple of times. The Broncos are netting 57% of spread bets/62% of spread money.

BetMGM opened the total at 38.5, peaked at 39.5 Tuesday and bottomed out at 36.5 Thursday. Over the course of today, the number made its way back up to 38.5. Ticket count is 2/1 and money 5/1-plus on the Over.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: There was big news out of Denver on Wednesday: Quarterback Russell Wilson was benched. So the Broncos will start Jarrett Stidham. That prompted TwinSpires to drop Denver from -5.5 to -4.5 to -3.5.

The Broncos are netting 64% of early spread bets, while 58% of early spread money is on the Chargers.

"With the QB change, there was some line movement. Sharp play on Chargers +5.5," Lucas said.

The total also took a hit on the Wilson news, as it's down to 37.5 from a 39.5 opener. The Under is taking 52% of tickets/60% of money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver (7-8 SU/6-8-1 ATS) likely saw its postseason hopes end in Week 16. The Broncos were 7-point home favorites vs. New England and stunningly lost 26-23 on a final-seconds field goal.

That was after Denver rallied from an equally stunning 23-7 fourth-quarter deficit against a dismal Patriots team.

Los Angeles (5-10 SU/6-9 ATS) was catching 12.5 points at home against Buffalo and nearly notched an upset. The Chargers lost 24-22 on a last-minute Bills field goal.

Chargers-Broncos opened Denver -6.5 at The SuperBook, and the game came off the board once Patriots-Broncos kicked off. It will go back up Monday and likely see an adjustment after Denver's awful performance.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Seattle Seahawks Odds

• Opening point spread: Seahawks -3
• Opening moneyline: Seattle -185/Steelers +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 40.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 3:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Seattle opened -3.5 in BetMGM's odds Week 17 market and stuck there throughout the week, at various juice. However, this morning, the Seahawks stretched out to -5, and they're now -4.5.

Still, it's two-way spread play, with ticket count almost dead even and 56% of money on the Seahawks. And on the moneyline, bettors are on underdog Pittsburgh, to the tune of 72% of tickets/73% of money.

BetMGM's total opened at 41, went to 41.5 Monday and returned to 41 Thursday. This afternoon, the number nudged down to 40.5. It's two-way play here, as well, with 51% of tickets on the Under/53% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Seattle hasn't gotten off -3.5 this week at TwinSpires, on practically dead-even two-way play. The Seahawks are drawing 52% of spread bets, while 51% of spread cash is on the Steelers.

"It's a battle of 8-7 teams. Our liability is right down the middle," Lucas said.

The total also hasn't changed, sticking at 41. The Over is getting 54% of tickets/58% of money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Seattle (8-7 SU/7-6-2 ATS) is climbing back into the NFC playoff picture. In Week 16, the Seahawks got a late TD to escape Tennessee with a 20-17 win as 3-point favorites.

Likewise, Pittsburgh (8-7 SU and ATS) kept its postseason hopes alive with a much-needed win. The Steelers belted Cincinnati 34-11 catching 3 points at home.

The Steelers-Seahawks spread has already seen some movement in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market. Seattle went from -3 to -3 (-120) early this evening, then later advanced to -3.5.

Miami Dolphins vs Baltimore Ravens Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -3
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -160/Dolphins +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With 2.5 hours until kickoff, BetMGM has the Ravens -3 (-120) in its NFL odds Week 17 market. That's a drop down from Baltimore -3.5 (-105), which was available earlier this morning.

The Ravens opened -3 last Sunday and got to -4 for about 12 hours Tuesday before dipping to -3.5. Baltimore went to -3 (-115) Thursday, then got to -3.5 (-105) again this morning before falling back to -3 (-120).

Spread tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on the Ravens. Moneyline action leans toward underdog Miami, at 59% of tickets/57% of money.

The total moved from 46.5 to 47 Monday, then back to 46.5 Saturday. The Over is taking 64% of tickets/62% of money.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Baltimore opened and remains -3.5 at TwinSpires. It's two-way spread play with a lean toward the Ravens, at 56% of tickets/58% of money.

"It's our game of the week," Lucas said, before noting perhaps some surprising prop-bet action. "The Ravens are taking some money so far, but the real liability is on the safety prop. Yes on a safety occurring, at +1150, has been bet on quite a bit. We'll need to avoid that."

The total is stable at 47, with 59% of tickets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Baltimore (12-3 SU/10-5 ATS) made a statement Monday night at San Francisco. The Ravens, 6.5-point underdogs, rolled over the Super Bowl favorite 49ers 33-19.

This morning, The SuperBook responded by making three moves: to Ravens -3 (-120), then to -3.5 (even), then to -4. The total is stable at 47. As Michaelson noted Sunday (see below update), the book expects the public to be all over Baltimore this week.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Miami (11-4 SU/10-5 ATS) is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games. The lone loss was that stunning Monday night upset against visiting Tennessee. In Week 16, the Dolphins edged Dallas 22-20 on a field goal as time expired, barely covering as 1.5-point home faves.

Baltimore (11-3 SU/9-5 ATS) still has Week 16 work to do. The Ravens visit San Francisco on Monday night, easily the Game of the Week.

The SuperBook opened Dolphins-Ravens at Baltimore -3 tonight and hasn't moved.

"We'll see how this line evolves, depending on how Baltimore looks Christmas night against San Fran. But at the moment, this is about as 3 as 3 gets," Michaelson said. "It's an important game, and it would have higher handle if it wasn't stuck in a mess of 1 p.m. ET games. Kind of a shame.

"Whichever way Baltimore plays Monday night, we will need the other side. If Baltimore gets blown out, the public will bet Miami. If Baltimore competes and maybe even wins in San Fran, the public will be all over the Ravens."

New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -3
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers -160/Saints +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 40.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Tampa Bay dipped from -3 to -2.5 Wednesday at BetMGM, and there's been no movement since. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money almost 2/1 on the Bucs.

It's two-way moneyline play, with 56% of tickets on Tampa/56% of money on New Orleans.

The total opened at 41, stretched to 42.5 Monday and receded to 42 (Over -120) Wednesday. This morning, it's up to 42.5 again, with ticket count dead even but a hefty 90% of cash on the Over.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: The Bucs are a down tick on TwinSpires' NFL Week 17 odds board, moving from -3 to -2.5. Tampa Bay is netting 74% of early spread bets, but just 53% of early spread money.

"Sharp play on Saints +3," Lucas said.

The total climbed from 41 to 42 to 42.5, with 52% of tickets/64% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Tampa Bay (8-7 SU/9-6 ATS) picked a good time to start winning games, going 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS in its last four. The Bucs dismantled Jacksonville 30-12 in Week 16, cashing as 2.5-point home underdogs.

New Orleans (7-8 SU/4-10-1 ATS) has a little more rest for Week 17, having played in the Week 16 Thursday nighter. The Saints lost to the L.A. Rams 30-22 as 4-point road underdogs.

"Tampa has exceeded everybody's expectations this season," Michaelson said of the NFC South leader. "Before the season started, we had this game lined New Orleans -2.5. Now, Tampa feels like the only competent team in the division.

"New Orleans is banged up. I don't expect a ton of public handle on this game."

Tampa is stable at -3 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Week 17 odds market. But the total nudged from 40.5 to 41 shortly after opening.

San Francisco 49ers vs Washington Commanders Odds

• Opening point spread: 49ers -13.5
• Opening moneyline: 49ers -1000/Commanders +600
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: After spending the week bouncing between -13/-13.5 (see below update), the Niners advanced to -14 Saturday at BetMGM. Ticket count is 3/1 and money beyond 6/1 on San Francisco.

The total is at 49.5, up from a 48.5 opener. But it's two-way play, with tickets almost dead even and 55% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: San Fran toggled between -13 and -13.5 a couple times this week in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds market. The 49ers are currently -13.5, with spread ticket count 2/1 and spread money 2.5/1 on San Francisco.

On the moneyline, there are plenty of early flier bets on big underdog Washington. The Commanders are taking 62% of tickets/76% of money.

BetMGM opened the total at 48.5 and on Wednesday went to 49/49.5/49. It returned to 49.5 today, with 61% of tickets/79% of cash on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: The Niners (11-4 SU/8-7 ATS) saw their six-game win streak (4-2 ATS) crumble on Christmas night. Brock Purdy threw four interceptions, and San Fran lost to Baltimore 33-19 as 6.5-point home favorites.

However, the 49ers remain -13.5 vs. the Commanders at The SuperBook. The total briefly dipped to 48 this morning, then returned to 48.5.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: San Francisco (11-3 SU/8-6 ATS) is riding a six-game win streak (4-2 ATS). But the Niners aren't yet out of Week 16, facing a huge Monday night home game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington (4-11 SU/6-8-1 ATS) saw a huge road comeback fall short against the New York Jets. The Commanders trailed 27-7 at halftime and 27-14 through three quarters. Washington then got two fourth-quarter TDs to take a 28-27 lead with 4:52 remaining.

But the Commanders allowed a field goal in the waning seconds, losing 30-28 as 3-point pups.

Neither the 49ers-Commanders spread nor total moved tonight at The SuperBook.

Arizona Cardinals vs Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -12
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -850/Cardinals +550
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Since Friday (see below update), the Eagles have advanced from -11.5 to to -13 in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds market. Philadelphia is drawing a modest majority 53% of spread tickets, but 73% of spread money.

This morning, the total briefly dipped from 48 to 47.5. That matched the opening number, but it's now at 48 again. Ticket count is almost dead even, while 64% of cash is on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Eagles -12.5 Sunday night and made a big adjustment after Philly struggled some with the Giants on Christmas Day. Early Tuesday, the line dropped to Eagles -9.5, followed a few hours later by a move to -10.5.

Philadelphia rose to -11 Wednesday and -12 Thursday, and it's now -11.5 (-115). Spread tickets are running 2/1 and spread money 6/1 on the Eagles.

The total opened at 47.5 and nudged to 48 on Wednesday, with no movement since. Ticket count leans slightly to the Under, while money is dead even.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: The Eagles let the New York Giants hang around quite a bit on Christmas Day. Philly (11-4 SU/5-10-1 ATS) ultimately prevailed 33-25, but failed to cover as 14-point chalk.

This morning, The SuperBook adjusted the Cards-Eagles line from Philadelphia -12 to -10.5. The total nudged up from 47.5 to 48.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (10-4 SU/5-9-1 ATS) is on a three-game SU and ATS skid, and it's not yet out of Week 16. The Eagles host the New York Giants on Christmas Day.

Arizona (3-12 SU/7-8 ATS) lost to Chicago 27-16 catching 4.5 points on the road.

Cards-Eagles saw no movement on the spread or total tonight at The SuperBook.

New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -13.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -750/Patriots +500
• Opening total: Over/Under 40 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 12:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo is all the way out to -15 at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Bills opened -13 and initially slipped back to -11.5 last Sunday night. But the line has been steadily on the rise since then and today made the jump off -14 to -14.5/-15.

That said, spread play is not leaning toward Buffalo. Rather, underdog New England is seeing 60% of spread tickets/57% of spread money. But rest assured that the Bills are in countless teasers and are seen as a free space in moneyline parlays.

The total opened at 40.5 and peaked at 41 last Sunday. It's been at 40 since Thursday, with tickets 2/1 and money 2.5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Bills hit BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market as 12.5-point favorites. On Tuesday, the line dipped to Buffalo -12, but Wednesday rebounded to -12.5/-13. Early this afternoon, the Bills stretched to -13.5/-14.

Buffalo is getting 55% of spread tickets/66% of spread money. And although moneyline tickets are 2/1 Patriots, moneyline cash is 2/1 Bills.

The total moved from 41 to 40.5 Wednesday, then to 40 Thursday. The Over is seeing 61% of tickets/67% of money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo (9-6 SU/6-8-1 ATS) is probably the team no one wants to face in the AFC playoffs. But the Bills didn't exactly play like that in Week 16. Buffalo closed as 12.5-point chalk at the L.A. Rams and needed a last-minute field goal to win 24-22.

The Bills have won three in a row as part of a 4-1 overall surge.

Meanwhile, New England (4-11 SU/4-10-1 ATS) pulled off a stunning upset at Denver on Sunday night. The Patriots were 7-point 'dogs and had a 23-7 lead entering the fourth quarter. Bill Belichick's squad gave it all back and was in a 23-23 tie late.

But New England got a field goal in the waning seconds to win 26-23.

The Patriots-Bills spread and total are stable tonight in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market.

"We will push this game as high as we can before the wiseguys buy back," Michaelson said. "Even with the stumble against L.A. on Saturday night, I can only imagine one-way public action on this game, as the Pats slowly play out the string and Buffalo charges toward the division showdown with Miami in two weeks."

Los Angeles Rams vs New York Giants Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Rams -290/Giants +235
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff approaches, the Rams are laying 6 points at DraftKings. L.A. opened -6.5 and dropped to -4.5 by midweek, with multiple stops along the way. But the line got back out to -6.5 by this morning and is now -6 (-105).

Spread tickets are running almost 4/1 and spread money 2.5/1 on Los Angeles. And moneyline play is practically all Rams, as well, at 9/1 tickets and money.

The total opened at 41.5, topped out at 45 midweek and is now 43.5. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 6/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Rams-Giants line was on the decline the first half of the week. Los Angeles opened -6.5 Sunday night at BetMGM, fell to -6 Tuesday and -5.5/-4.5 Wednesday.

Thursday brought a move to Rams -5 (-120), and it's now -5.5. Ticket count is 4/1-plus and money 2.5/1 on Los Angeles.

The total opened at 42, peaked at 45 Wednesday and is now at 43.5. It's practically all Over action, with tickets and money in the 9/1 range.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: New York (5-10 SU/6-8-1 ATS) couldn't pull a big upset on Christmas Day at Philadelphia. But the Giants made it interesting and covered as 14-point favorites in a 33-25 loss.

The SuperBook responded this morning by moving the Rams-Giants spread from L.A. -6.5 to -6. The total is stable at 42.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (8-7 SU/9-5-1 ATS) is on a very well-timed 5-1 SU run and has covered five in a row. In Week 16, the Rams topped New Orleans 30-22 giving 4 points at home on Thursday night.

New York (5-9 SU/5-8-1 ATS) hasn't yet cleared Week 16. The Giants visit Philadelphia on Christmas Day.

The SuperBook hasn't moved Rams-Giants off L.A. -6.5, nor has the total moved off 42.

Tennessee Titans vs Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Texans -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Texans -190/Titans +160
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Houston is -5 (-115) in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 17 market, shortly before kickoff. The Texans opened -3.5 (-105) and got as high as -5.5 Thursday. Houston backtracked to -4 shortly thereafter, then today briefly got out to -5.5 again.

Ticket count is just shy of 2/1 and money is 2.5/1 on the Texans. Moneyline action is even heavier to Houston, at 3/1 tickets and almost 5/1 money.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Texans QB C.J. Stroud cleared concussion protocol Thursday, so he's set to start Sunday. Houston opened -3.5 at BetMGM, on the expectation Stroud would play, and the line got to -5.5 by late Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday brought some pushback as the Texans fell back to -4/-3.5. Houston returned to -4 today and is taking 60% of spread bets/59% of spread dollars.

BetMGM opened the total at 42.5, climbed to 43/43.5 Wednesday and to 44 Thursday. The Over is taking a modest majority 53% of tickets, but a healthy 78% of money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Houston (8-7 SU/7-8 ATS) is rapidly fading from the playoff picture, losing two of its last three games. The Texans were again without C.J. Stroud (concussion) in Week 17 against Cleveland, and it hurt. Houston lost 36-22 getting 3 points at home.

Tennessee (5-10 SU/6-9 ATS) gave up a late Seattle TD in losing 20-17 to push as a 3-point home pup. The Titans are 2-6 SU/2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games.

The SuperBook's Titans-Texans line of Houston -3.5 is assuredly based on Stroud returning this week.

Atlanta Falcons vs Chicago Bears Odds

• Opening point spread: Bears -3
• Opening moneyline: Bears -160/Falcons +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 37.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff nears, the Bears are -3 (-105) at DraftKings. That's exactly where this line opened a week ago. Chicago spent a good chunk of Friday and Saturday at various iterations of -2.5, then returned to -3 Saturday night.

The Bears are drawing 70% of spread bets/59% of spread money.

DK's total opened at 39, hit a low of 37.5 Tuesday, then made its way up to 39 by this morning. The Over is seeing 64% of bets/55% of money.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Bears were pinned to -3 most of the week at BetMGM, with only juice adjustments. But this afternoon, Chicago is down to -2.5 (-115). Still, spread tickets and cash are in the 2/1 range on the Bears.

BetMGM's total went from 38 to 38.5 Monday, then returned to 38 Tuesday. Ticket count is just shy of 2/1 and money 5/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta (7-8 SU/5-10 ATS) is making a last gasp for the postseason. The Falcons rolled over Indianapolis 29-10 laying 2.5 points at home.

Chicago (6-9 SU/7-7-1 ATS) is actually on upturns of 3-1 SU/4-1 ATS. In Week 16, the Bears topped Arizona 27-16 giving 4.5 points at home.

The Falcons-Bears spread and total are stable tonight at The SuperBook.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Indianapolis Colts Odds

• Opening point spread: Colts -3
• Opening moneyline: Colts -160/Raiders +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: DraftKings opened the Colts -3 and have spent almost all week at -3.5. Indy got to -4 Saturday, then returned to -3.5 this morning.

As is the case at other sportsbooks, DK is seeing more Raiders action. On the spread, Las Vegas is attracting 68% of tickets/54% of cash. On the moneyline, it's 55% tickets and money on the Raiders.

The total opened at 44.5 and spent the first half of the week at 44. It then dropped off to 41.5 by this morning, with multiple stops along the way. DK is now at 42.5, with 68% of tickets/75% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Indy climbed from -3 to -3.5 Wednesday at BetMGM, with no movement since. Spread ticket count is actually 2/1-plus on Las Vegas, but spread money is running dead even.

On the moneyline, it's practically all Raiders, with early tickets and money in the 6/1 range.

The total opened at 44.5 and bottomed out at 42 Thursday, with stops at 44/43.5 along the way. It's now at 42.5, with 57% of tickets/63% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Las Vegas (7-8 SU/8-7 ATS) notched the upset of Week 16. The Raiders closed as 10.5-point underdogs at Kansas City and claimed a 20-14 victory.

However, that didn't influence The SuperBook risk room at all. The Raiders-Colts line remains at Indy -3 today.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With a 5-1 SU and ATS run, Indianapolis was seemingly on the way to an AFC Wild Card bid. The Colts (8-7 SU/9-6 ATS) are still in the mix, but a loss at Atlanta didn't help. Indy was a 2.5-point 'dog and got rolled 29-10.

Las Vegas (6-8 SU/7-7 ATS) still has Week 16 work to do, and it's a big job. The Raiders travel to Kansas City on Christmas Day.

There's been no movement on the Raiders-Colts spread or total tonight.

Carolina Panthers vs Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Jaguars -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars -265/Panthers +215
• Opening total: Over/Under 37.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 12:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Fifteen minutes pre-kick, the Jaguars are at their low point of -3.5 at DraftKings. That's after opening -6 and peaking at -7 Tuesday. Friday's news of Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) sitting out has since helped this number plunge.

That noted, the Jags are still seeing 69% of spread bets/61% of spread money. And they're taking a huge majority of moneyline action, too.

The total opened at 37.5, peaked at 38 a couple times and hit a low Friday of 36.5. It's now at 38 again, with 56% of bets/87% of cash on the Over.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Jags -6 Sunday night and climbed to -7 by Tuesday afternoon. But the line has been on the decline since, to Jacksonville -6.5 Wednesday/-6 Thursday, then to -5.5/-4.5 this afternoon.

The moves today are directly tied to news that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) won't play Sunday. It's two-way spread play with a lean toward Jacksonville, at 55% of tickets/59% of money.

The total toggled between 37.5 and 38 multiple times this week and is now 37. Tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on the Under.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Jacksonville (8-7 SU and ATS) was seen as a serious playoff team a few weeks ago. But the Jags have since dumped four in a row SU and ATS. In Week 16, Jacksonville closed -2.5 at Tampa Bay and was never in it in a 30-12 setback.

Carolina (2-13 SU/5-9-1 ATS) has actually been competitive of late, going 3-1 ATS in its last four. The Panthers proved to be a handful for Green Bay, rallying for two fourth-quarter TDs to tie the game at 30.

But Carolina allowed a last-minute field goal, losing 33-30 as 3.5-point underdogs.

The SuperBook opened Panthers-Jags at Jacksonville -6.5 and dipped to -6 in fairly short order tonight.

Detroit Lions vs Dallas Cowboys Odds

• Opening point spread: Cowboys -6
• Opening moneyline: Cowboys -275/Lions +225
• Opening total: Over/Under 51 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC/ESPN)

UPDATE 7:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Caesars Sports opened Dallas -6 in its NFL odds Week 17 market, and the spread stuck there all week. Finally, early this morning, the Cowboys dipped to -5.5. And subsequently this afternoon/evening, the line slid to Dallas -5/-4.5/-4.

The Cowboys are now -4.5 again, while taking 52% of spread tickets/53% of spread money. On the moneyline, 66% of bets are on Dallas, while 53% of cash is on Detroit.

The total opened at 52.5, peaked at 53.5 multiple times this week and had a low of 52 this morning. It's now at 53.5, with 61% of tickets/62% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Dallas opened -6 at TwinSpires and stuck there until this morning, dipping to -5.5. Detroit is taking 55% of early spread tickets, while 56% of early spread cash is on Dallas.

"Really good two-way handle on this game so far," Lucas said. "Cowboys teasers are quite popular. As of now, we'll need Detroit."

The total is up a tick from 53 to 53.5, with 72% of tickets/81% of dollars on the Over.

"Any time these teams play, the Over money is going to pour in. This game is no exception," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Dallas (10-5 SU/9-6 ATS) rallied in the fourth quarter to take a 20-19 lead at Miami with 3:27 remaining. But the Cowboys fell 22-20 on a field goal as time expired.

Detroit (11-4 SU/10-5 ATS) held off Minnesota 30-24 laying 2.5 points on the road. The Lions clinched the NFC North and are still in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

After opening Lions-Cowboys at Dallas -6, The SuperBook is up to -6.5 in its NFL odds Week 17 market.

"This feels like Dallas' kind of game," Michaelson said. "Off two road losses, against a team that just clinched its division for the first time in 30 years, who do you think this game matters more to? At the moment, we're higher than the market on this game. We expect to need the underdog."

The total is even more on the move early, climbing from 51 to 51.5/52/53 in little more than an hour tonight.

New York Jets vs Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Browns -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Browns -330/Jets +260
• Opening total: Over/Under 36.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET THURSDAY: With kickoff approaching, Cleveland is a 7-point favorite at PointsBet, a Fanatics Experience. The Browns opened -5.5, stretched to -7, then spent the past 24 hours or so toggling between -7 and -7.5.

Spread tickets and money are running 2/1 on Cleveland.

The total opened at 36.5 and got as low as 34, before nudging to 34.5 this afternoon. The Under is seeing 66% of tickets/58% of money.

In player props, Amari Cooper Anytime TD is taking the most tickets, with the Browns wideout +190. The most money in player props markets is on Browns tight end David Njoku Anytime TD. At +175, Njoku is the co-favorite in the Anytime TD market, joined by Jets running back Breece Hall.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: On game day, the Browns are laying 7 points in TwinSpires Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 17 market. That's where Cleveland opened, and the number spent time at -7.5 this week, too.

Spread tickets are running just shy of 3/1 and spread money just beyond 3/1 on the Browns.

"It's lopsided tickets and money on one of the hottest teams right now. The Jets will be a sizable need," Lucas said.

The total is down to 34 from a 35.5 opener, with 57% of tickets/66% of money on the Under.

"The public is finally catching up to prime-time Unders. We'll need the Over," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland (10-5 SU and ATS) continues to get it done and solidify at least AFC Wild Card status. In Week 16, the Browns beat Houston 36-22 as 3-point road favorites. Joe Flacco and Co. are on a timely 3-0 SU and ATS upswing.

New York (6-9 SU/5-9-1 ATS) blew all of a 27-7 halftime lead at home against Washington. The Jets fell behind 28-27 with 4:52 remaining. But Gang Green escaped with a 30-28 win on a final-seconds field goal, while failing to cover as 3-point favorites.

Chase Michaelson, risk supervisor at The SuperBook, said Cleveland opening close to touchdown chalk vs. New York seemed about right.

"We closed Browns -5.5 on the lookahead. But after that impressive Cleveland performance in Houston, we bumped this number up," Michaelson said. "The total is on the high end after both teams played high-scoring games today. But that could change, depending on the forecast in Cleveland."

The spread already moved up to Browns -7 tonight, while the total is stable.
