What are the best bets for Week 17 of the 2014 NFL season?

Happy Sunday! The end of the 2014 NFL regular season is upon us, and frankly, I am sad about it. It has been quite the journey in this space, as we have attempted to bring you the best bets against the spread on a weekly basis, but fear not, we will continue to weigh in throughout the playoffs. Still, we have a chance to crack the .500 mark for the season with a positive performance on the season’s final week, and that is definitely the goal.

As always, “fade the public” is the general principle of this column, and if there is anything to indicate that the “sharper” investment leads toward one direction, we will often be the first to pounce on it, even if it requires some ignorance to reality and public perception. Before we get to the picks, let’s look at where we stand for the season, including last week’s strong performance:

  • Last week: 3-1-1
  • Season: 38-40-2

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at this week’s selections!
