NFL Week 17 Highlights: Cowboys-Lions Most Bet Game
© PA

The Cleveland Browns did their part last night, beating up the lowly New York Jets, 37-20, clinching a playoff spot, and more than covering the spread going into the game (-7) in the process.

Week 17 of the NFL rolls on tomorrow, with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Detroit Lions in an epic bout, 8:15 p.m. EST start time.

BetMGM reports this morning that most bet games (tickets) are Lions-Cowboys, Miami Dolphins-Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, 1 p.m. EST), and Los Angeles Rams-New York Giants (Sunday, 1 p.m. EST). Most bet team (tickets) is the Lions (+5.5) and (handle) Ravens (-3).

Most bet Overs (tickets) are the Lions-Cowboys 52.5, Rams-Giants 43.5, and Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings 43.5. Most bet Unders (tickets) are the Atlanta Falcons-Chicago Bears 38, Cincinnati Bengals-Kansas City Chiefs 44, and Pittsburgh Steelers-Seattle Seahawks 41.

On the Buffalo Bills front, they’re hosting the 4-11 New England Patriots, 1 p.m. EST on Sunday.

Bills Big Favorites Against Patriots

Bills are heavily favoured. At BetMGM the Moneyline is 1.13, Patriots 6.50. The current Spread is Bills +13, Pats -13 (55 percent of bets, 66 percent of handle on the Bills).

At FanDuel this morning, most bet player props for that game are quarterback Josh Allen Anytime TD Scorer (2.00), Patriots’ running back Kevin Harris Anytime TD Scorer (13.00), and Bills receiver Khalil Shakir Anytime TD Scorer (6.00). 

Most bet player props for NFL Week 17 at FanDuel: Browns’ tight end David Njoku Anytime TD Scorer, Njoku To Score 2+ TDs (he had zero TDs), and Browns’ running back Jerome Ford To Score 3+ TDs (he had two).

The Bills (9-6) continue that run to a playoff spot. They’re still in the running for the top spot in the AFC East, as well. The last game of the season is in Miami against the first place Dolphins (11-4). Sunday, in Baltimore, the Ravens are betting favourites – 1.57, Dolphins at 2.45, 

Spread is Baltimore +3, Dolphins -3. So if the Bills take care of business, and the Dolphins lose, the Bills have a shot at the title in Week 18.

BetMGM has the Bills at 3.75 to win the AFC East, Miami at 1.29.

The Best Odds for Week 17

On the injury front, DT DaQuan Jones is available to play, returning from a pectoral injury, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Jones has been out since Week 5. McDermott also said safety Micah Hyde (neck) and DE A.J. Epenesa (rib) also have a chance to play Sunday. 

If the Bills win their probability of reaching the playoffs rises to 97 percent, but a loss sinks that to 46 percent. So a team that’s been in a playoff mindset for weeks now is faced with another must-win scenario.

The Patriots beat the Broncos last weekend, 26-23, another team that was in the playoff conversation. The Broncos are now 7-8, have benched QB Russell Wilson, and are pretty much out of it (12 percent probability to make it if they beat the Chargers Sunday).

At DraftKings, most bet player props are the Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (1.63) for Anytime TD Scorer, the Lions' RB David Montgomery 1st TD Scorer (10.00), the 49ers  RB Christian McCaffrey 2+ TD Scorer (2.15), and the Commanders' S Kamren Curl Tackles + Assists Under 5.5 (1.80).
