NFL Week 17 Betting Primer

Odds Shark Staff Published on: Jan 01, 2017 9:29 AM ET

The holiday season is over, but Santa Claus still has yet another lump of coal under the tree for sports bettors – the Week 17 NFL slate. Some games will be must-see TV (Lions-Packers, anyone?) while others aren't even worth your time (nine out of 10 doctors say watching the Jets-Bills game is bad for your health).

The last week of the campaign is always a wacky one in the betting world. It's hard to tell which playoff-bound coaches are going to rest their starters, so wagering on favorites with nothing to play for can be a bold strategy, Cotton.

If you're in the market for trends and gambling-related info, our NFL betting primer has you covered. See for yourself:
