With an absolutely loaded Week 17 NFL slate, there are no excuses for not making any coins this Sunday. Here are some of my favorite NFL plays of the weekend.
NFL Week 17 Picks
Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction
Raheem Mostert was ruled out for Sunday’s matchup against the Ravens, and I thought that would move the line a little. Instead, the Dolphins have held at +3.5 on the road against a Ravens team coming off their biggest win of the season against the 49ers.
Miami has the speed to keep up with Baltimore, and their defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is certainly familiar with the Ravens; he coached there for four years. As good as Baltimore has looked, this is a massive letdown spot for Lamar and the Ravens. Back the Dolphins on the spread.

New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills Prediction
The Patriots already upset the Bills once this season. Josh Allen and Buffalo will be on their toes for Sunday’s contest; not even Coach Belichick is great enough to beat this Bills team twice, especially considering how well Buffalo has played this month.
This spread moving up to BUF -14 should tell you everything you need to know. They are laying two touchdowns against a team that’s already beaten them this season. Nobody is slowing down this Buffalo offense right now. Back the Bills to win this game big; the Patriots might not score double-digit points in this contest.

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
It’s been a little too easy for the Bucs in December, who have now won four games in a row. The same cannot be said for New Orleans, who is a couple bad bounces away from being undefeated in December too, but hasn’t been able to put it all together yet. Derek Carr and the Saints looked great in the second half of their last game, but they weren’t able to complete the comeback against the Rams.
I’m willing to bet the Saints come out with more energy against a division rival who might just get caught sleeping on Sunday. It’s now or never for New Orleans, and with the spread at +2.5, oddsmakers are clearly expecting a much closer game that the public is predicting. Back the Saints on the road to shock the world and cover against the red-hot Buccaneers.
