NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 17

Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Lions TBA/49ers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday (ESPN)

UPDATE 7:15 P.M. ET MONDAY: An hour before kickoff, the Lions are -4 in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Week 17 odds. Movement has come in just the past 10-15 minutes, from Detroit -3.5 to -4, then to -4.5, followed by a dip to -4 (-115).

The Lions opened -4 eight days ago and toggled between -4/-3.5, with brief stops at -3 on Tuesday and Sunday.

It's all Lions on the spread, at 89% of tickets/82% of money. Detroit moneyline is getting hammered, as well, at 93% of tickets/92% of money. At the very least, DK is looking for the home 'dog to keep it close.

DraftKings' Julian Edlow relayed this comment from the trading room: "With the lion's share of action on Detroit, the sportsbook is counting on San Francisco to cover on MNF."

The total opened at 51.5 and very slowly made its way to 50 by this evening. It's two-way play with a lean toward the Over, at 59% of tickets/55% of money.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET MONDAY: With four-plus hours until kickoff, the Lions are laying 3.5 points in ESPNBET's NFL odds Week 17 market. That's where the Detroit opened, as well.

As is the case at several other sportsbooks, it's all Lions at ESPNBET. Detroit is attracting 82% of spread tickets/92% of spread money. And bettors are laying Lions moneyline – currently -200 – at an even higher percentage.

The total is down to 50.5 (Under -115) from a 51.5 opener, with 67% of tickets on the Over, but money running dead even.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Borgata Sports is pinned to Lions -3.5 so far this week, but the public is on the road chalk, no surprise.

"It's been mostly Detroit money. The Lions are included in more parlays than any other team on the board right now," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total has seen movement, opening at 52 and now down to 50.5.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Detroit (13-2 SU/10-4-1 ATS) rebounded just fine from its Week 15 home loss to Buffalo. The Lions went to Chicago as 7-point favorites and exited with a 34-17 victory.

That ended a very modest 0-2-1 ATS hiccup for Detroit, which is 35-10 SU/33-11-1 ATS in its last 45 games.

San Francisco (6-9 SU/5-10 ATS) was eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16, after nearly winning the Super Bowl last season. The banged-up Niners lost to Miami 29-17 as 1.5-point road favorites.

Despite San Fran's unraveling season, Detroit only opened at -3.5 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market. And the first move was toward the Niners.

"Some sharp money on San Francisco +3.5 moved us to Detroit -3 (-120)," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said. "The public will be on Detroit, like they are every week. The Lions should be the finishing leg to a lot of Week 17 teasers and parlays."

Completed Games for NFL Week 17

Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Commanders Odds

• Opening point spread: Commanders -4
• Opening moneyline: Commanders TBA/Falcons TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Less than two hours before kickoff, Washington is -3.5 (-105) in BetMGM's Week 17 NFL odds. Last Sunday, the Commanders opened -5, then Monday morning went to -4.

Friday brought a move to Commanders -4.5, but Washington dipped to -4/-3.5 Saturday. Still, the public is no doubt on the favorite.

"We'll need the Falcons tonight," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 47.5 and quickly dipped to 46.5 last Sunday night. On Monday, the number returned to 47.5, and on Friday, it went back to 46.5. It's now at 46.5 (Under -115).

BetMGM Nevada saw some sharp play on Under 47.5.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Washington is down to -4 from a -5 opener in Borgata Sports' NFL Week 17 odds.

"This has been all recreational money on this one so far," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "I think we may see Washington move slightly higher here before kickoff."

The total is stable at 47.5.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Washington (10-5 SU/9-5-1 ATS) notched its third consecutive win, and in big comeback fashion, no less. The Commanders trailed Philadelphia 27-14 entering the fourth quarter. But Jayden Daniels & Co. outscored Philly 22-6 in the final stanza and won 36-33.

With six seconds left, Daniels hit Jamison Crowder with a game-winning 9-yard TD pass, followed by a 2-point conversion.

Atlanta (8-7 SU/7-8 ATS) got the Michael Penix Jr. Era off to a great start, albeit against a lousy New York Giants team. The Falcons rolled to a 34-7 victory laying 9.5 points at home.

Penix was a serviceable 18 of 27 for 202 yards, with no TDs and one interception. Atlanta's defense helped him out with two pick-sixes off of Giants QB Drew Lock.

The Falcons opened -4 in The SuperBook's Week 17 NFL odds, and the line climbed to -4.5 within two hours tonight.

"Sharp money on Washington, which moved us to -4.5," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said. "Penix goes on the road for the first time, vs. a much better opponent than the Giants. We will need Atlanta."

Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Vikings TBA/Packers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The Vikings are back to 1-point favorites in BetMGM's Week 17 NFL odds. Minnesota has been a short chalk all week, at either the -1.5 opener or -1.

"We want the Vikings. We're getting decent two-way action, but a little more on the Packers," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 48.5 and stuck there pretty much all week. But this afternoon brought a move to 49, and Cipollini said BetMGM needs the Under.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: This line jumped the fence at Borgata Sports, going from Vikes -1.5 to the current Packers -1 in NFL odds Week 17.

"This is probably the matchup of the week, with the spread mostly bouncing back and forth between a pick and each team being favored at various points in the week," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "This will probably close as a pick 'em, and it’s been two-way action since we opened it."

The total opened at 48.5, briefly went to 49, then returned to 48.5.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Green Bay (11-4 SU/9-6 ATS) won with ease in the Week 16 finale on Monday night. The Packers led New Orleans 21-0 at halftime en route to a 34-0 blowout laying 14 points at home.

Jordan Love & Co. have covered five straight games and are 5-1 SU in their last six, with the lone loss coming at Detroit.

DraftKings Sportsbook opened Packers-Vikings at Minnesota -2 and today fell back to -1.5/-1. After tonight's Saints-Packers game, the Vikes went to -1.5 again. Minnesota is taking 55% of early spread bets, while 60% of early spread money is on Green Bay.

The total opened at 48 and advanced to 48.5/49 today. The Over is seeing 74% of bets/91% of cash so far.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota ran its winning streak to eight games, but just barely. The Vikings (13-2 SU/10-4-1 ATS) got a TD with 3:51 remaining to beat Seattle 27-24 as 2.5-point road favorites.

Green Bay (10-4 SU/8-6 ATS) still has Week 16 work to complete. The Packers host the Saints on Monday night.

Here's our Fanatics Sportsbook promo code for the Vikings vs Packers!

The SuperBook opened Pack-Vikings at Minnesota -1.5, with no movement tonight.

"A huge NFC division matchup with a small spread, which should draw interest on both sides. We should see great two-way action," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said.

Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Dolphins -5.5
• Opening moneyline: Dolphins TBA/Browns TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 41.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With Tua Tagovailoa downgraded to doubtful on Saturday, the Dolphins tumbled from -6 to -2.5 in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 17 market. Miami then rebounded to -3/-3.5 and is now -3 (-115).

The Dolphins are netting 67% of spread bets/61% of spread money. That's down significantly from midweek, when Miami was seeing nearly 75% of bets and 84% of money at DraftKings.

The total opened at 40.5 and steadily made its way down to 37.5 by Friday, with weather an issue today in Cleveland. Then came Saturday's Tagovailoa news, driving the total down to 34.

As kickoff nears, the total is now a nominal 32.5, with 65% of bets on the Over/63% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Miami hit DraftKings' NFL Week 17 odds as 5.5-point chalk and advanced to -6 Monday. Early spread play is solidly on the Dolphins, with tickets almost 3/1 and money beyond 5/1.

The total opened at 40.5, went to 40 Monday and 39.5 late Tuesday night. Splits are rather disparate, with tickets 5/1 on the Over, but money 1.5/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland (3-12 SU/4-11 ATS) managed only a third-quarter touchdown in Week 16, and even missed the PAT on that score. The Browns lost to Cincinnati 24-6 catching 10 points on the road.

Cleveland has lost four in a row and six of its last seven SU and ATS.

Miami (7-8 SU and ATS) kept its very slim playoff hopes alive in Week 16. The Dolphins pulled away from San Francisco in the fourth quarter for a 29-17 win getting 1.5 points at home.

Miami moved from -5.5 to -6 within minutes tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Week 17 odds. The total dropped from 41.5 to 40.5.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -8.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles TBA/Cowboys TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: On Friday, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) was ruled out. So it'll be Kenny Pickett under center for Philly today.

Most of the line movement tied to that decision came on Thursday, after the Eagles signed Ian Book off the practice squad, as a backup to Pickett. BetMGM opened Philadelphia -8 and actually spiked to -10.5 Monday morning, before setting at -9.5.

Then Thursday, the line went straight to Eagles -8 on its way to -7.5/-7. Friday brought a modest rebound to Philly -7.5, and it's -7.5 this morning.

In digital betting (mobile/online) at BetMGM, it's two-way spread play with a lean toward the underdog. Dallas is getting 58% of bets/55% of money. At +300, the Cowboys are also a popular moneyline play, at 64% of bets/70% of money.

"Cowboys-Eagles turned into a backup QB game, with this line swinging all week. We'll want the Eagles to win but not cover," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

BetMGM opened the total at 42.5 and bottomed out at 37.5 Friday. It's now 38, with 60% of bets on the Over/55% of money on the Under. However, Cipollini said the Under is the need, per usual, due to parlays/single-game parlays etc.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Philly opened -9 and is now down to -7.5 at Borgata Sports, with Jalen Hurts (concussion) looking unlikely to play.

"With a win, the Eagles can wrap up the NFC East. But things are still murky around the status of Jalen Hurts," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) is also not 100%, so the Eagles had Ian Book visit Wednesday to possibly come in as a backup to Pickett.

"Despite the uncertainty at QB, it hasn’t slowed down the Eagles money we have been seeing."

There's some regional bias in that Eagles money, too, with the Borgata just an hour from Philadelphia.

The total is down to 40 from a 42.5 opener.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (12-3 SU/9-6 ATS) led Washington by two touchdowns twice in the first quarter and was up 27-14 through three quarters. But the Eagles gave up 22 fourth-quarter points and lost 36-33 giving 4 points on the road.

Just as important, and perhaps more: QB Jalen Hurts exited the game in the first quarter with a concussion. So his status is questionable vs. Dallas.

With six seconds left, Philly gave up a 9-yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels to Jamison Crowder, followed by a 2-point conversion. The loss ended the Eagles' 10-game win streak (7-3 ATS).

Dallas (7-8 SU and ATS) was eliminated from playoff contention before its Week 16 Sunday night home game vs. Tampa Bay. But the Cowboys didn't play like it, hanging on for a 26-24 victory as 4.5-point underdogs.

Dallas is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games, but it's too little, too late for the postseason.

The SuperBook opened Cowboys-Eagles at Philadelphia -8.5, and the game came off the board once the Bucs-Cowboys game kicked off. Cowboys-Eagles will go back up Monday morning.

"Hurts is worth 3-4 points. Kenny Pickett didn't look awful. There are worse backups," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said. "If Dallas holds on and wins tonight, you'll see the number reopen lower than normal. Philly will still be a nice-sized home favorite.

New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -10
• Opening moneyline: Bills TBA/Jets TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Three hours before kickoff, the Bills are laying 10 points in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market. That's where Buffalo opened a week ago, and the line briefly touched -10.5 Tuesday.

Buffalo went to -9.5 Wednesday and -9 Thursday, but climbed back to -10 by Friday afternoon. The Bills are netting 75% of spread tickets/78% of spread money in BetMGM's digital betting (mobile/online). In fact, in Sunday games, the Bills are No. 1 in spread tickets and spread money.

"We'll need the Jets today. We're not writing much Jets action," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 47 and is now at its low point of 45. Straight-bet tickets and money favor the Under. But with parlays/single-game parlays and such, Cipollini said BetMGM needs the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: With Kansas City winning on Christmas Day, Buffalo can no longer get the No. 1 seed. So the Bills will just look to make sure they remain No. 2 in the AFC.

Buffalo opened as 9.5-point chalk in DraftKings' Week 17 NFL odds. The spread touched Bills -9 on Tuesday morning and peaked at -10.5 on Tuesday afternoon. It's now at Bills -9.5, with 71% of early spread bets/63% of early spread dollars on Buffalo.

The total opened at 47.5, went to 46.5 Monday and 46 Tuesday morning. The number rebounded to 47 by Tuesday afternoon. Ticket count is almost dead even, while money is 3/1 on the Under so far.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo (12-3 SU/9-6 ATS) got all it could handle from lowly New England in Week 16. By early in the second quarter, the Bills trailed 14-0. Josh Allen & Co. scored the next 24 points and won 24-21, but failed to cover as hefty 14-point faves.

New York (4-11 SU/5-10 ATS) is an unmitigated disaster at this point. The Jets were tied with the L.A. Rams 9-9 and lost 19-9 as 3-point home underdogs. Aaron Rodgers & Co. are 2-10 SU/3-9 ATS in their last dozen games.

Buffalo opened as 10-point chalk tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Week 17 odds. There's been no movement so far.

Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -8.5
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers TBA/Panthers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With 2.5 hours until kickoff, the Bucs are out to 10-point favorites in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds. That's up a full point just this morning and 2.5 points from the opener of Tampa -7.5.

"We will need the Panthers," BetMGM's Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 48.5, peaked at 49.5 Monday and bottomed out at 47.5 Saturday. It's now at 48, with 57% of tickets/64% of money on the Under in BetMGM's digital market (mobile/online betting).

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Bucs toggled between -7.5/-8 a few times this week in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 17 market. Tampa Bay is now -7.5, while 55% of bets/62% of dollars are on underdog Carolina.

DK's total opened at 48.5, peaked at 49.5 Monday and returned to 48.5 Tuesday. The Under is seeing 55% of bets, but 79% of cash is on the Over.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Tampa Bay (8-7 SU/9-6 ATS) saw its win streak end at four, putting its playoff hopes in peril, as well. The Buccaneers were 4.5-point favorites at Dallas in the Week 16 Sunday night game and fell just short 26-24.

Carolina (4-11 SU/7-8 ATS) has a dreadful SU record, but has been great to bettors of late, going 6-1 ATS in its last seven games. In Week 16, the Panthers blew a 30-20 fourth-quarter lead vs. Arizona, but won 36-30 in overtime catching 5.5 points at home.

Panthers-Bucs opened at Tampa Bay -8.5 and quickly dropped to -7.5 in The SuperBook's Week 17 NFL odds. The game was taken off the board once Bucs-Cowboys kicked off. Panthers-Bucs will go back up Monday morning.

Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Giants Odds

• Opening point spread: Colts -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Colts TBA/Giants TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 40 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Indy is laying 7.5 in BetMGM's Week 17 NFL odds, with 2.5 hours until kickoff. The Colts opened -8.5 and have been fairly stable at -7.5 since Wednesday, save for an hour or so at -7 Saturday night.

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (back/foot) was downgraded fro questionable to out on Saturday. Joe Flacco will start for Indianapolis.

In digital betting (mobile/online), Indianapolis is getting 80% of tickets/74% of money. BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said the Giants are among the biggest needs in today's six-game early window.

The total opened at 40 and has been painted to 40.5 most of the week. The Under is drawing 64% of tickets/61% of money on straight bets.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Colts opened -8 at DraftKings and have been at -8 or -7.5 almost all week, save for a couple hours Sunday at -8.5. Indy is now -7.5 while nabbing 79% of early bets, but just 60% of early money on the spread.

The total is painted to 40.5 at DK, with 74% of bets/72% of cash on the Over.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New York (2-13 SU/4-11 ATS) is even worse than its MetLife Stadium roommate Jets. In Week 13, facing rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. in his first start, the Giants got thumped 34-7 as 9.5-point road 'dogs.

The G-Men are 0-10 SU/1-9 ATS in their last 10 outings.

Indianapolis (7-8 SU/9-6 ATS) built a 38-7 lead by midway through the third quarter vs. Tennessee, then nearly gave it all back. The Colts hung on for a 38-30 win and cover as 4-point home favorites.

The SuperBook opened the Colts -7.5 vs. the Giants, with no movement tonight.

Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Pick
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars TBA/Titans TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 39.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: BetMGM has Jacksonville at -1 (-105) on game day. The line spent most of the week at some iteration of Jags -1/-1.5, though it flipped for a few hours Saturday to Titans -1.

It's two-way spread splay with a lean toward Tennessee, at 53% of bets/57% of money.

The total opened at 39.5, peaked at 40.5 Monday, then over the past 48 hours or so made its way down to 37.5. It's now 38, with 52% of bets on the Over/56% of cash on the Under.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Jacksonville has been at -1 almost all week, with the exception of a few minutes Tuesday at -1.5. Tennessee is seeing 53% of early spread tickets/60% of early spread money.

The total opened at 39.5, peaked at 41 Monday afternoon, but reverted to 39.5 by Tuesday afternoon. The Over is getting 60% of tickets/62% of money.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Jacksonville (3-12 SU/8-7 ATS) lost a battle of two bad teams in Week 16. The Jags were 2.5-point road favorites and lost to Las Vegas 19-14. Jacksonville is 1-7 SU in its last eight games.

Tennessee (3-12 SU/2-13 ATS) was in a 38-7 hole midway through the third quarter at Indianapolis. The Titans scored the final 23 points of the game, but the rally fell short in a 38-30 loss getting 4 points.

Titans-Jaguars opened and remains pick 'em tonight at The SuperBook.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. New Orleans Saints Odds

• Opening point spread: Saints -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Saints TBA/Raiders TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 39.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: This line jumped the fence in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market. New Orleans opened -2.5, and by Tuesday it was Las Vegas -1. It's now Raiders -2 on two-way action, with 52% of bets on the Saints/52% of money on the Raiders.

The total opened at 40, dropped to 37.5 by Tuesday and hasn't budged since. The Under is taking 59% of bets/63% of money.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET MONDAY: The Saints (5-10 SU and ATS) had nothing in the tank at Green Bay in the Week 16 Monday nighter. Like literally nothing. No points. New Orleans got blanked 34-0 as 14-point underdogs.

DraftKings Sportsbook opened Raiders-Saints at New Orleans -2.5 in NFL Week 17 odds. The line dipped to Saints -2/-1.5 this morning, and in the aftermath of Saints-Packers, it's now New Orleans -1.

The Saints are netting 63% of early spread bets, while 60% of early spread cash is on the Raiders.

DK's total opened at 39.5, went to 40 this morning, then back to 39.5 tonight. The Over is getting 57% of early bets, and 61% of early money is on the Under.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New Orleans (5-9 SU and ATS) has Week 16 work to complete. The Saints travel to frigid Green Bay for the Monday night game.

Las Vegas ended an 0-10 SU plunge in Week 16, finally finding a worse opponent. The Raiders (3-12 SU/6-9 ATS) topped Jacksonville 19-14 catching 2.5 points at home.

The Saints opened -2.5 vs. the Raiders, with no movement tonight in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -5
• Opening moneyline: Rams TBA/Cardinals TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 49 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (NFL Network)

UPDATE 7:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: With 45 minutes until kickoff, the Rams are laying 6.5 points in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market. Los Angeles opened -5 and made its way to -7 on Wednesday and Thursday, before receding to -6.5 early Thursday afternoon.

"More tickets on the Rams, but more money on the Cardinals. Sharp money on Arizona +7," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "A Rams win and cover is ideal."

The total opened at 49, bottomed out at 47.5 Friday and is now 48. Degnon said the book needs the Under.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Rams opened -4 and stretched to -6.5 by Tuesday morning at DraftKings Sportsbook. That's where L.A. sits now, while attracting 68% of spread tickets/83% of spread money so far.

The total opened at 49 and is down 47.5 midweek on two-way play. The Over is getting 54% of tickets, while 52% of cash is on the Under.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles is on a well-timed 8-2 SU/7-3 ATS run over the last 10 games. In Week 16, the Rams (9-6 SU/8-7 ATS) won a rock fight vs. the New York Jets 19-9 as 3-point road faves.

Arizona (7-8 SU/9-6 ATS) eliminated itself from playoff contention by way of a Week 16 loss at Carolina. The Cardinals rallied from a 30-20 fourth-quarter deficit to tie it at 30 on a final-seconds field goal. But Arizona lost 36-30 in overtime as 5.5-point chalk.

Los Angeles hit The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 17 market as 5-point chalk tonight. Within a few minutes, the Rams advanced to -5.5. The total opened at 49 and crept to 48.5.

"With Arizona being eliminated from playoff contention, and the Rams looking more and more like a dark-horse Super Bowl team, we will need Arizona. This line should head toward -7 eventually," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said.

Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals Odds

• Opening point spread: Bengals -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Bengals TBA/Broncos TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday (NFL Network)

UPDATE 2:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Less than two hours before kickoff, the Bengals are -3.5 (-105) in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Week 17 odds. Cincy opened -3 Sunday and has been at some iteration of -3.5 since Monday.

The Bengals are taking 60% of spread bets/58% of spread money. On the moneyline, the lean is heavier toward Cincinnati, at 75% of bets/71% of money.

Earlier today, DraftKings noted it needs the Broncos – and in fact, all three underdogs in today's games.

DK's total opened at 47.5, quickly went to 48.5 and is now at its peak of 50.5. The Over is attracting 68% of bets/82% of money.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Cincinnati is painted to -3 so far in Borgata Sports' Week 17 NFL odds.

"It's pretty balanced action on the side thus far. But the Bengals are being included in a lot of parlays," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total is up to 49.5 from a 48 opener.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cincinnati (7-8 SU/9-6 ATS) kept its slim playoff hopes alive with a Week 16 victory. The Bengals were 10-point home favorites vs. Cleveland and coasted to a 24-6 victory. Cincy is on a modest 3-0 SU and ATS upswing.

Denver saw its four-game SU win streak and five-game spread-covering run end in the Week 16 Thursday night game. The Broncos (9-6 SU/11-4 ATS) were 2.5-point road underdogs and led the L.A. Chargers 24-13 midway through the third quarter.

But Bo Nix & Co. got little else done the rest of the way, losing 34-27.

Cincinnati opened -3.5 vs. Denver at The SuperBook, and the first move was to Cincy -3 tonight.

"Early sharp money on Denver at +3.5, which quickly moved us to 3," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said. "This is essentially a playoff game. It should draw great interest."

The total is already up a point, moving from 47.5 to 48/48.5.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. New England Patriots Odds

• Opening point spread: Chargers -5.5
• Opening moneyline: Chargers TBA/Patriots TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Saturday (NFL Network)

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET SATURDAY: The Chargers are laying 6 points in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market. Los Angeles opened -5 and got as low as -4 a couple times during the week. But the line made its way up Friday/today.

"We're gonna need the Pats to cover 4.5 through 6. There's tons of interest on the L.A. Chargers today," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said.

The total opened at 42.5, and that's where it sits now. Magee said action is "very balanced" with no real need.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: DraftKings Sportsbook opened the Chargers -4.5, dipped to -5 early Monday, then receded to -4 by late Tuesday afternoon. Early spread play is almost all L.A., at 85% of bets/94% of money.

The total crept from 43 to 42.5 Monday, with 61% of bets/59% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (9-6 SU/10-5 ATS) kept itself firmly in the AFC Wild Card hunt in the Week 16 Thursday night game against Denver. The Chargers rallied from a 24-13 third-quarter deficit by scoring 21 straight points en route to a 34-27 win laying 2.5 points at home.

New England (3-12 SU/6-8-1 ATS) jumped out to a 14-0 lead by early in the second quarter against Buffalo. But the Patriots got just one touchdown the rest of the game and lost 24-21. Still, the Pats easily covered as 14-point road underdogs.

The Chargers-Pats spread is stable at L.A. -5.5 tonight in The SuperBook's Week 17 NFL odds. But the total got a modest adjustment, from 42 to 42.5.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears Odds

• Opening point spread: Seahawks -3
• Opening moneyline: Seahawks TBA/Bears TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

UPDATE 6:45 P.M. ET THURSDAY: With kickoff 90 minutes out, the Seahawks remain on the move, stretching to -5 this evening in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds. Seattle opened -3 Sunday, quickly went to -3.5, then got to -4 briefly Tuesday.

Early today, the line returned to Seahawks -4, and it advanced to -4.5 late this afternoon, before the move to -5.

"No shock here. It's all Seahawks. We will need the Bears any which way," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said. "The spread has only gone one direction since opening."

The total opened at 42, peaked at 43.5 Monday morning and has been steady back at 42 since Wednesday morning. Still, Davis said BetMGM needs the Under, per usual.

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET THURSDAY: Several hours before kickoff, the Seahawks are out to -4 in Borgata Sports NFL odds Week 17 market. Seattle opened -3 and spent time at -3.5 before going to -4 late Wednesday night at the BetMGM book in Atlantic City.

"It’s been mostly Seattle money. We will see if anyone wants to take the 4 here with Chicago," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total opened at 42 and peaked at 43.5, but it's now back down to 42.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Seattle (8-7 SU/6-8-1 ATS) followed a four-game SU and ATS run by losing its last two games. In Week 16, the Seahawks lost to Minnesota 27-24 as 2.5-point home underdogs.

Seattle got a touchdown with 4:21 remaining to take a 24-20 lead. But just 30 seconds later, the Seahawks gave up the decisive Vikings TD.

Chicago (4-11 SU/7-7-1 ATS) dug itself into a 20-0 hole by early in the second quarter vs. Detroit, and couldn't dig out. The Bears lost 34-17 as 7-point home underdogs, falling to 0-9 SU/2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games.

Seattle opened -3 vs. Chicago in The SuperBook's NFL Week 17 odds. Within two hours tonight, the Seahawks advanced to -3.5.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens TBA/Texans TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Wednesday (Netflix)

UPDATE 2:45 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: With kickoff less than two hours out, the Ravens are all the way up to -6.5 (-115). Baltimore opened -3 Saturday, was up to -5.5 by this morning, and the line has since advanced to -6/-6.5.

It's all Baltimore in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 17 market.

"We need the Texans. It's very lopsided on the Ravens," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "We'll need one 'dog to win outright [today]."

The total opened at 47.5, bottomed out at 46 Monday and is now 47. Cipollini said BetMGM needs the Under, no surprise.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Baltimore (10-5 SU/8-6-1 ATS) closed as 7-point home favorites vs. Pittsburgh and found itself knotted at 17 late in the third quarter. But the Ravens scored the final 17 points in a 34-17 win.

Baltimore is on a modest two-game SU and ATS upswing. The Ravens

Houston (9-6 SU/6-9 ATS) saw its two-game win streak end in Week 16. The Texans lost to Kansas City 27-19 catching 3.5 points on the road.

The Texans were also dealt another key injury. On a touchdown catch that kept Houston in the game, Tank Dell suffered what appeared to be a serious knee/leg injury.

The SuperBook opened Ravens-Texas at Baltimore -3.5, with no movement tonight. The total nudged from 47.5 to 47.

"Ravens games are normally bet Over. But early money is on the Under," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said. "I’d be shocked if we didn’t need Houston in the game. The public will be all over the favorite."

The Over is 12-3 for Baltimore this season.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -2
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs TBA/Steelers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Wednesday (Netflix)

UPDATE NOON ET WEDNESDAY: An hour before kickoff, Kansas City is 2-point chalk in BetMGM's NFL Week 17 odds. The Chiefs opened -2.5 (-115) Saturday night, briefly dipped to -2 Sunday evening, then returned to -2.5.

On Monday, the line touched Chiefs -3 (105), and it slipped to -2.5 Tuesday and -2 today. However, counter to the late dip in the line:

"We need the Steelers today, outright," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is out to 46 from a 42.5 opener. That's a 2-point move just this morning, as the total was at 44 overnight at BetMGM. So, not surprisingly in a standalone game, the book will be rooting for the Under.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Kansas City (14-1 SU/7-8 ATS) just doesn't lose in one-score games. In the last 16 such contests, the Chiefs are 16-0 SU. In Week 16 vs. Houston, Kansas City closed as 3.5-point chalk and held off Houston 27-19.

Pittsburgh (10-5 SU and ATS) has dropped two in a row, following a 7-1 SU and ATS run. The Steelers were tied 17-17 at Baltimore late in the third quarter, but gave up the final 17 points, losing 34-17 as 7-point underdogs.

On Sunday night, The SuperBook opened at Chiefs -2 in the NFL odds Week 17 market, with no moves so far.

"A Christmas standalone game with these two name brands will generate a very nice handle," SuperBook risk supervisor Arthur DiCesare said.

The total fell from 43.5 to 42.5 tonight, with DiCesare noting early money on the Under.
