Teams are jockeying for playoff seeding, wild card survival, or draft position—and Scores and Stats is breaking it all down to help you find the winning bets amid the chaos.

Our NFL picks for Week 17 dig into the real variables—team motivation, playoff scenarios, travel fatigue, and weather impacts that could swing key matchups. This is when smart betting beats blind loyalty.

2025 NFL Week 17 Schedule

The Week 17 board features high-leverage divisional matchups, spoiler scenarios, and trap games for playoff teams who can’t afford a slip. That volatility creates betting opportunity—if you’re sharp enough to spot it before the public catches on.

Thursday kicks off the action with a statement game between rivals, followed by a packed Sunday slate with playoff-deciding implications and a critical Monday Night Football clash that could lock in seeding or knock a favorite out. It’s win-or-go-home for many—and bet-to-profit for you.
