NFL Picks Week 17: Vikings at Packers Featured Game

With two weeks left in the NFL regular season, the top seeds have yet to be clinched. There is a full slate of games to be played with playoff implications with the Packers hosting the Vikings leading the way.

Buffalo Bills versus Cincinnati Bengals

Both teams enter play having won their last six games and “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The BIlls have a +30 to +29 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. This game is dead even with odds of 1.9 each with a slim line of 0.5 points in favor of Buffalo with an over/under of 49.5. The Score Predictor likes Cincinnati at home by a score of 25-18 with 92 percent confidence. The teams have been involved in games “under” the line in seven of the last 12 games combined.  The Team Volatility Oscillator indicates that both teams are consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Bengals at home by a field goal in a game “under” the line.

Miami Dolphins versus New England Patriots

In this AFC East battle, the Patriots host the Dolphins. Both teams are “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and Miami has a +21 to +17 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. New England is a 1.62 to 2.276 favorite with a line of 1.5 points and an over/under of 41.5. Both teams have been trending in games “under” the line and the Score Predictor has New England by a 22-20 score with 79 percent confidence. The Dolphins won the first meeting between the teams 20-7 in Miami. Both teams have been stable according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like New England in a game “under” the line.

Los Angeles Rams versus Los Angeles Chargers

The battle of Los Angeles takes place as the Chargers host the Rams. The Chargers have won three straight and are “burning hot”, while the Rams have won two of their last three and are “ice cold up”. The Chargers are +21 to +2 on the Power Ranks Indicator and are 1.37 to 3.078 favorites with a line of 6.5 points and an over/under of 41.5. The Rams have been trending in more games “over” the line, while the Chargers have been in games “under” the line in each of the last four. The Score Predictor has the Chargers in s 35-12 blowout with 69 percent confidence. I like the Chargers to win and cover in a game “over” the line.

Minnesota Vikings versus Green Bay Packers

In this classic NFC North battle, the Vikings still have a shot at the number one seed should they win out and the Eagles lose out, while the Packers look to defy the odds and earn a playoff berth. Green Bay is a 1.51 to 2.542 favorite with a line of 3.5 points and an over/under of 48.5. Both teams enter the contest “burning hot” and the Vikings have a +26 to +17 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor has Green Bay by a 30-21 margin with 69 percent confidence. I like the Packers to edge the Vikings by three, so go for Minnesota to cover in a game “over” the line.
