4 Unit Play. #302 Take Atlanta Falcons +6.5 over Carolina Panthers (Sunday 1 pm FOX) The Falcons showed they still have talent when they nearly beat San Francisco last Monday night in the Bay Area. Now they return home to close out the season against Carolina, a team with a lot riding on this game. The Panthers are not used to being in this position, and thus I expect them to struggle early in this game with all the pressure squarely on them. Teams like Atlanta that have been out of playoff contention for quite some time usually just do not lay down. Carolina will go all out to try and win this game, but I just believe it will be a 60-minute dog fight. Atlanta has covered four of their last five games.
5 Unit Play. #303 Take Green Bay Packers -2.5 over Chicago Bears (Sunday 4:25 pm Fox) The Bears are just not good enough to beat the Packers twice in one season. Aaron Rodgers is expected to start for the Green and Gold and that gives them a major edge on offense against a terrible Chicago defense. The Bears defense has fallen off the face of the earth this season without Lovie Smith as coach and expect the Packers to put up a ton of points against them. I am still not sold on QB Jay Cutler in big games and really feel that the Bears should be playing the back-up. The Bears have lost 6 of their last 7 games against the Packers with their only victory coming in the last meetings when Rodgers was knocked out early. Green Bay is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games against NFC North teams. Chicago is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games against NFC teams.
3 Unit Play. #313 Take Jacksonville Jaguars +11.5 over Indianapolis Colts (Sunday 1 pm CBS) The game is essentially meaningless for the Colts as they would need a lot of help to move up to the No. 2 seed and receive a first-round bye. Jacksonville has played much better down the stretch than they did earlier this season, and they have lost the top choice in the draft because of it. Their last two losses have come under today's posted number, and expect that to continue as Jacksonville will take this game down to the wire. Jacksonville is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Indianapolis is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 Week 17 games.

Sharp Moves - Week 17
By Mike Rose
We're getting ready to head into another weekend of NFL betting action, and as always, there are a bunch of plays that are a lot sharper than others. Check out some of the best and brightest plays that are on the board in Week 17!
All public betting percentages courtesy of VegasInsider.com as of Thursday morning.
San Diego -9½ - It's a tough game to bet, because it legitimately might not mean a thing to either of these teams. We have yet to hear from Head Coach Andy Reid as to whether or not his full side will be playing on Sunday or not, but regardless, the Bolts are the rightfully favored side. The Chargers know that losses by both Miami and Baltimore would setup a position where it's win and in, lose and out. Otherwise, this game will just be for the pride of beating a playoff team and finishing above .500. The Chiefs have squat to play for and will end up being the #5 seed regardless.
Opening Line: San Diego -9½
Current Line: San Diego -9½
Public Betting Percentage: 67% on Kansas City
Cleveland +7 - It's tough to believe that the Browns are the sharp team in this game, but here in this situation where the Steelers need a win and a whole heck of a lot of help just to keep their season alive, bettors are going with the public team. Sure, it definitely looks as though Cleveland has given up on the season, but the Steelers flat out just aren't all that good. They had to struggle to take care of the Packers last week on the road, and though Green Bay might very well end up being a playoff team as well, it certainly isn't one of the best 12 sides in the NFL with QB Matt Flynn calling the shots.
Opening Line: Cleveland +7
Current Line: Cleveland +7
Public Betting Percentage: 64% on Pittsburgh
Jacksonville +11½ - The Jaguars know that they have had nothing to play for in quite some time, but they have really been a much better team in the second half of the season than they were in the first half. Indianapolis probably has very little to play for, and though we don't expect that it is going to give up in this game, we wouldn't be surprised if the actual motivation on the field might not be quite as high as it will be next week in the opening round of the playoffs. The Jags were crippled the first time around when these teams met, but that was back in September. The Colts don't have nearly as much to play for barring miracles in the form of losses by New England and Cincinnati this week.

Current Line: Jacksonville +11½

Gridiron Angles - Week 17
By Vince Akins

NFL PLAYER TREND:
The Falcons are 9-0 ATS (10.50 ppg) since November 2, 2008 after a loss in which Roddy White had a receiving touchdown.
NFL BIBLE ATS TREND:
The Lions are 11-0 ATS (+9.6 ppg) since October 25, 1992 as a road dog when their dps was negative in their last three games.
NFL BIBLE OU TREND:
The Eagles are 0-15 OU (-11.1 ppg) since December 25, 2006 when they scored at least 15 points more than expected last game.

NFL SUPER SYSTEM:
Teams which game went under by at least 16 points last game and at least 18 two games ago are 36-21-3 OU. Active on Seattle.
PICK SIXTY SPORTS WEEKLY TIP:
One of the key matchups in this week’s all-divisional card is the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. Baltimore needs to win just to have a chance at the postseason while Cincinnati can win to give itself a shot at the No. 2 seed, pending New England’s result vs. Buffalo. The current line on this game is Bengals -6 and O/U 44.5 and there is an Over/Under scenario “live” with a record of 17 overs, 35 unders and 4 pushes since 1989.
Cincinnati is avenging an overtime loss from earlier this season and coming off a Week 16 win by more than 10 points. The Bengals are expected to use a full complement of starters on both sides of the football and looking back since 2010 we can see that all three Week 17 matchups between these teams finished below 44 points. In what should be a solid defensive game, look for this contest to follow a familiar pattern and stay below the number.
Pick: Take the Ravens-Bengals UNDER 44.5 pointsComment
