NFL Picks Week 17 Odds And 2024 Underdog Winners

Fairway’s Football Forecast NFL Picks Week 17 odds are initially posted at Off Shore Gaming Association, and that includes Christmas Day picks and one early winner on the Chicago Bears as ‘Dog on Dec. 26. That snapped a losing streak, which has been our worst December ever on underdog picks.

The remaining weekend underdog picks are below and also at OSGA initially, as the betting lines adjust along with totals as more rain is in the forecast for the most impactful weather weekend of the NFL season thus far.

We’ll conclude our 8th, and likely final season of underdog ONLY picks hitting 55% ATS overall after starting the season at 57%. We were 20-15 ATS into Week 11, and that’s when the stuffning turnaround went South. Recall we had a 70% season (28-12 ATS) in 2021 on our NFL only underdog picks.

Christmas Day featured four playoff teams from the AFC , and the road favorites Chiefs and Ravens won and covered again, extending one of the worst runs for home underdogs I can recall. I’ll update more stats and final rushing numbers later, but this weekened features 3 Saturday games with the Chargers (9-6), Broncos (9-6) and Rams (9-6) in position to secure their playoff position.

Then Sunday it’s the NFC feature games headlined by Green Bay (11-4) at Minnesota (13-2) in the NFL picks Week 17 odds. I feature that Week 17 game in Forbes with stats, analysis and information you can bet on, along with the Sunday Night Football feature Atlanta (8-7) at Washington (10-5) game with playoff implication. .

Last year we finished 11-1 ATS in December. We went the opposite direction this season in the closing month, and add the remaining Week 17 picks below.

FairwayJay History NFL Winners

Last season was a small winnning one that included a strong 11-1 ATS finish in December which was part of a 7-0 ATS result in Week 14 with seven outright winners.
