NFL Week 17

[WayneWonder]

Kansas City +3

Tough game to figure, as both teams have refused to throw in the towel. The Chiefs have played better competition in recent weeks and if they neutralize Benson (never thought I'd type that sentence) they win. The Chiefs are 5-2 ATS on the road this year.

Teaser:

Minnesota -1
Pats +.5

Simply put, these two teams have much to play for, while their opponents do not. I suspect a straight up win for either shouldn't be too hard to muster.

Lions OVER 42.5

Why such a low total??

Weather is 29 and clear. These teams combined for 73 points in week two. And the Lions have not stopped anybody defensively all season. They have given up DD in every game, holding one opponent below 20 points. In 11 of 15 games, they have allowed 30+ points.

The Packers don't exactly conjure up memories of the 200 Ravens either. They have a very generous defense who is playing for nothing. These type of games favor the offense, IMO.
