Before looking at SportsbookWire staff’s Week 17 NFL picks, here are the against-the-spread (ATS) and Over/Under (O/U) leaders, according to Teamrankings.com.
The Denver Broncos (9-6) didn’t cover the spread in Week 16, losing 34-27 as 2.5-point underdogs at the LA Chargers (9-6) in the Thursday night game. However, Denver still owns the NFL’s best ATS record at 11-4.
The Broncos visit the Cincinnati Bengals (7-8) Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network). As of Tuesday at 2:18 p.m. ET, BetMGM Sportsbook lists the Bengals as 3-point favorites (-120).
The Minnesota Vikings (13-2) aren’t far behind the Broncos with a 10-4-1 ATS record, while the Chargers, Detroit Lions (13-2) and Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) are each 10-5 ATS.
The Tennessee Titans (3-12) remained the league’s worst ATS team, falling to 2-13 ATS after a 38-30 loss as 4-point underdogs at the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) in Week 16.
The Cleveland Browns (3-12) and New York Giants (2-13) are the next best teams to fade — bet against — at 4-11 ATS apiece. The New York Jets (4-11) and San Francisco 49ers (6-9) are each 5-10 ATS.
The Baltimore Ravens (10-5) improved their NFL-best Over record to 12-3 with a 34-17 home win against the Steelers last Sunday — the Over was 44.
The Carolina Panthers (4-11) are next with an 11-4 O/U record, while 4 teams are 10-5 O/U. They are the Bengals, Dallas Cowboys (7-8), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-7) and Washington Commanders (10-5).
The Atlanta Falcons (8-7), Houston Texans (9-6) and Giants share the best Under record at 5-10 O/U apiece.
In an interesting “total” matchup, the best Over team in Baltimore visits the best Under team in Houston on Christmas Day at 4:30 p.m. ET (Netflix). BetMGM Sportsbook lists the O/U line at 46.5 as of Tuesday at 2:18 p.m. ET.
