Cleveland has won 7 straight Thursday home games and 7 straight as favorites as they host the New York Jets in our Week 17 opener.
As expected, there are plenty of negative Jets betting trends to choose from, but they do own a 7-2 ATS streak vs the Browns, so bettor beware. Elsewhere on Saturday night, two 11-4 teams battle as Dallas hosts Detroit. Dallas comes consecutive road losses but has won 15 straight at home. But beware the mercurial Lions who are 7-1 ATS as underdogs and 9-3 ATS on the road lately.
Arizona gets double digits in Philly, but watch out for this oddball angle where the Cardinals are 11-1 ATS in 12 recent matchups vs the NFC East. They are also 7-1-1 ATS in nine visits to Philly.

Trend believers need to take these trends with a grain of salt, given the extra week in the NFL season in 2021 – the fact Week 17 of previous years is actually Week 18 this year.
Sound complicated? It’s not. Adding a Week 18 to the NFL schedule means the motivation (or lack thereof) of the final game of the season now moves to Week 18, while Week 17 retains more meaningful motivations with playoff implications.
It doesn’t change the streak that Kansas City has strangely lost 5 straight at Cincinnati or that Pittsburgh has won 19 of their last 20 Monday Night home games. Check out the Week 17 NFL betting trends mined from our trusty football database with stats and info from 1980 to present.

Betting Week 17 NFL games is a balance act of handicapping motivation and determining which teams will rest starters and which coaches are trying to save their asses for next season. All the while contemplating the extent of petty grievances and divisional rivalry intrigue that make some teams play hard even when they have nothing to gain.
Week 17 sees one huge road spread as surging Baltimore lays 11.5 points at Cincinnati and one huge home spread as Indianapolis is motivated to defeat Jacksonville and they lay 14 point.
What follows are trends from our deep database mining exercise, but take them all with a 50-pound grain of salt, because other factors may trump them.
And check out the latest NFL odds as they move during this unpredictable final week of the season and check out bonus specials and hundreds of football betting options at top shops such as Draft Kings and FanDuel sportsbooks.
