From Dec. 31: Week 17 – Game Day Pick

This is the week to get back all that money you spent for the holidays. A few teams must win to get to the playoffs. They are home, healthy and hungry. They need the win to get into the playoffs or, in a few cases, are fighting for the #1 seed to get the bye week.

The Rams are playing the Giants in New York and are favored by 6 ½ to win. The Rams are seeded 6th at 8 – 7, however there are 4 teams behind them at 7 – 8. They are 4 – 1 in their last 5 games and have won their last two. The Giants are a mess. Their season is over at 5 – 10. Tyrod Taylor is the QB and the offense is scoring 13 points a game.

Sean McVay will pull out all stops to win today and should have an easy time. Buy 1 point to be at – 5 ½. The money line is – 290.

Our 2nd and 3rd picks are simple. The 49ers will bounce back strong in Washington against the worst defense in the league. The Commanders have given up a league-leading 453 points. The Eagles are home against the NFLs 2nd worst defensive team, the Cardinals. Arizona has given up 403 points this season.

The 49ers and Eagles are fighting for the #1 seed and playing the two worst teams. Both teams will win and cover. Buy up to 1 ½ points to keep your bets under 14.
