Dolphins vs. Ravens odds

Opening line

The Ravens looked great in their potential Super Bowl preview on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers, taking down the NFC leaders 33-19. Meanwhile, the Dolphins did some heavy lifting of their own by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 22-20 at home. Oddsmakers opened the Ravens as 3.5-point home favorites for this Week 17 matchup, with a total of 47.

Weather

Patriots vs. Bills odds

Opening line

The Patriots blew a big fourth-quarter lead in Denver against the Broncos but managed a squeak out a last-second 26-23 win at Mile High. The Pats travel to Buffalo in Week 17 to take on the Bills, who will need to continue to win games to stay in the AFC playoff picture. Oddsmakers opened with Buffalo as big 10.5-point home favorites for this Sunday afternoon clash, with an opening total of 40.5.

Weather

Falcons vs. Bears odds

Opening line

Although a bit unexpected, both the Falcons and Bears come into this Sunday afternoon matchup off convincing wins in Week 16. The Falcons still have a shot to win the NFC South, while the Bears will need four or five separate miracles to poach a late playoff spot in the NFC. Sportsbooks opened the Bears as 3-point home favorites with a total of 38.5.

Weather

Titans vs. Texans odds

Opening line

The Titans and Texans are both coming off losses in Week 16, but Houston has plenty to play for this week as they are part of a three-way tie atop the AFC South. Oddsmakers opened the Texans as 4-point home favorites with an opening total of 43.

Raiders vs. Colts odds

Opening line

The Raiders cashed in on a Christmas miracle and took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16, while the Colts lost 29-10 to the Atlanta Falcons. Oddsmakers opened the Colts as 3.5-point home favorites with a total of 43.5.

Weather

Panthers vs. Jaguars odds

Opening line

The Panthers lost (as usual) in Week 16, while the Jaguars dropped a big game in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers. This Sunday afternoon matchup is a big one for the Jags, who are part of a three-way tie at the top of the AFC South with only two games to play. Oddsmakers opened Jacksonville as a 7-point home fave with an opening total of 38.5.

Weather

Rams vs. Giants odds

Opening line

The Giants showed some fight on Christmas Day, but eventually fell 33-25 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams looked very good in their 30-22 win over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Sportsbooks opened the Rams as 6-point road favorites for this Week 17 Sunday afternoon contest at Metlife Stadium. The total hit betting boards at 41.5.

Weather

Cardinals vs. Eagles odds

Opening line

The Cardinals were unable to handle the rejuvenated Chicago Bears on Christmas Eve, dropping their Week 16 contest 27-16. The Eagles got back on track by taking down the visiting New York Giants 33-25 on Christmas Day. Oddsmakers opened the Eagles as big 9.5-point home favorites for this Week 17 matchup with a total of 48.

Saints vs. Buccaneers odds

Opening line

The Saints dropped a 30-22 decision to the Rams at Sofi Stadium in Week 16 while the Buccaneers dumped the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars 30-12 at home on Sunday afternoon. Sportsbooks opened the Bucs as 3-point home favorites with a total of 41.

Weather

49ers vs. Commanders odds

Opening line

The 49ers looked disjointed in their Week 16 loss at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy looked nothing like the MVP candidate we've been treated to all season with no touchdowns, four interceptions, and a shoulder stinger. Initial reports are that Purdy should be OK for Week 17, and there are few better opponents for a "get-right game" than the Washington Commanders. Sportsbooks opened the 49ers as massive 13.5-point road favorites with a total of 48.5.

The Chargers lost their Week 16 matchup 24-22 to the visiting Buffalo Bills while the Broncos lost a surprising decision 26-23 at home against the New England Patriots. Oddsmakers opened the Broncos as 5.5-point home favorites with an opening total of 38.5.

Bengals vs. Chiefs odds

Opening line

The Chiefs looked out of sync in their 20-14 Christmas Day loss at home against the Las Vegas Raiders while the Bengals were clobbered 34-11 by Mason Rudolph and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Eve.
