NFL Against the Spread Odds Picks, Predictions for Week 17: Motivation Levels Vary in Late-Season Matchups

Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots have a lot to play for this week. Denver Broncos are playing their first game under a new head coach. The Jaguars might rest their top players in a meaningless game at Houston.

Denver Broncos +13.5 (-110 via Caesars) vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans +4. 5 (- 110 via FanDuel) against Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots -2.

Denver Broncos are favored to beat Kansas City Chiefs. Houston Texans are favoured to win against Jacksonville Jaguars. New England Patriots are favorites to defeat Miami Dolphins.

Denver Broncos lost to the Rams last week and coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired the following day. The Chiefs are a two-touchdown favorite against Denver. Caesars is offering standard -110 juice on Denver Broncos +13.5. Kansas City can still overtake Buffalo for the #1 seed in the AFC.

Houston Texans are playing hard for head coach Lovie Smith. Last week Houston beat Tennessee 19-14. The Texans have won seven of the last nine meetings with the Jaguars. Most sportsbooks had dropped their line on this game down to Jacksonville -4, but you can still catch +4.5 with Houston at Caesars and FanDuel.

The New England Patriots have lost four of their last five games. They are currently out of playoff position in the AFC. The Patriots are favored by 2.5 points against Miami. Miami has lost its last four games after winning its previous five. Teddy Bridgewater will start for the Dolphins against the Patriots. The Dolphins’ defense has been awful on the road this season, while the Pats are better at home.
