With the holiday season upon us, it's a busy week for the NFL. Wee 17 begins with a Christmas doubleheader on Netflix. followed by Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, a Saturday tripleheader, nine Sunday games, and monday night football To wrap things up. 5 days of soccer!
The playoff race heats up as we approach the home line. This field is growing, with the Ravens and Packers clinching playoff berths last week. The Falcons are back in first place in the NFC South, while the Ravens are tied with the Steelers for the AFC North.
There weren't many upsets last week. So, my five upset picks weren't very good for reliable Week 16 picks. I had 10 wins and 6 losses, 5 wins and 4 losses with medium picks, and 2 wins and 2 losses with low picks. I went 1-4 with 5 upset picks.
I'm now back for weekly Confident Choices. Below is my complete list for week 17. Games with three asterisks (***) after them indicate games where I am picking the underdog to bet on to win. This week we have four upset books. Considering we start playing live early in the week, we may make some adjustments once injury reports come in. Please note any changes.
