It’s a smaller slate of NFL games today, as we had three yesterday — one dud (Chargers winning 40-7 in New England) and two exciting finishes (Broncos-Bengals and Cardinals-Rams).

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the betting public loves the Detroit Lions this week. Detroit -3.5 is the most-bet side at DraftKings and BetMGM, and 94% of the wagers at ESPN BET are on the Lions to cover on Monday Night Football at the San Francisco 49ers.

Here are three sharp plays on today’s games that came in at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook in Las Vegas, courtesy of Jeff Sherman, VP of risk at the Westgate:

➡️Raiders -1

➡️Bucs -9.5

➡️Browns +3.5

Below, I’ve aggregated 50 Week 17 NFL best bets from respected handicappers for you, along with public betting info from DraftKings, BetMGM and ESPN BET. I’ll add more sharp plays from my conversations with oddsmakers in the paid chat throughout the day.

This week, there are a lot of opinions on the day’s marquee game: My Minnesota Vikings (-1) hosting the Green Bay Packers. I have collected 12 different bets on that game alone from handicappers below the pay wall, and I’m adding to the file as the day goes along.

Have a great Sunday and good luck with your wagers!
