The NFL is in the final two weeks of the 2017 NFL regular season. Playoff berths are to be had. Here are the opening point spreads for all Week 16 games.
We still have one more game left on the Week 15 slate in the NFL. That is the Monday Night Football game between NFC South foes in the Atlanta Falcons (8-5) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-9). Atlanta will hold on to its No. 6 seed heading into the final two weeks of the NFL season. So let’s get ready for Week 16 anyway.
Three more teams punched their playoff tickets on Sunday in Week 15. The Jacksonville Jaguars have clinched their first playoff berth since 2007 with a huge win over the division rival Houston Texans. Thanks to an incomplete pass and an interception, the New England Patriots beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the AFC East for the ninth straight season.
By obliterating the Cincinnati Bengals at home, the Minnesota Vikings have clinched the NFC North for the second time in three seasons. It should be noted that the Philadelphia Eagles also locked up a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs by getting past the rival New York Giants.
With seven more playoff spots up for grabs, at least a few will be clinched this week in Week 16. Here are the opening point spreads heading into Week 16. All lines are by OddsShark.
