Postseason spots are on the line during Week 17 of the NFL schedule, allowing four teams to earn a spot in the NFL playoff picture. In the AFC, the Dolphins (8-7) could secure a postseason spot with a win or a Jets loss or tie. In NFC, the Giants (8-6-1), Buccaneers (7-8) and Commanders (7-7-1) can all advance to the NFL playoff bracket. However, the game of the week will definitely take place on Monday Night Football when the Bengals (11-4) host the Bills (12-3). Both teams are still alive, with No. 1 seeds and byes in the AFC. Buffalo is the 1-point favorite in the latest NFL odds from Caesars Sportsbook, but which team should you back in your NFL betting? I have to confirm Larry Hartstein’s opinion.

Top Week 17 NFL Parley Picks
After scrutinizing all 16 games in Week 17, Hartstein loves the Lions (-6) covering the Bears. Detroit (7-8) is still alive to earn a wild card his berth in the NFC. Chicago (3-12) has his worst record in the NFC, tying with Houston (2-12) for worst record in the league.
The Bears have lost eight straight in the worst defense in NFL history. “The Bears are also decimated in the offensive line and receivers,” Hartstein told SportsLine.”Expect Jared Goff to lead Detroit to his 30-plus points and cover.” You can check out the rest of Hartstein’s Week 17 NFL Parley picks here.
