NFL Week 17 Betting Preview – Super Bowl XLIX
NFL Week 17 Betting Preview, We have reached the final week in the NFL 2014 regular season and even though 10 of the 12 available playoffs spots for this season’s run to Super Bowl XLIX have been claimed, there is still much to be decided in some of this Sunday’s matchups. Sports bettors will have quite a few golden opportunities to cash-in on this final round of games with NFL betting odds provided by 5Dimes USA online and live NFL betting Sportsbook.
Right out of the gate, the NFC South title will be up for grabs when the 6-8-1 Carolina Panthers square-off against the 6-9 Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. Despite each team’s dismal straight-up record, the winner will advance to next weekend’s Wildcard Round in this season’s NFL Playoffs as division champs.
The Falcons have been listed by 5Dimes USA online, mobile and live NFL betting Sportsbooks as four-point favorites and the NFL football betting odds for the total have been set at 47.5. Atlanta has already won the first meeting this season both SU and against the spread and it is 5-1 ATS in its last six home games against the Panthers.
The NFC North title will also be in play later Sunday afternoon when the 11-4 Detroit Lions go on the road to face the 11-4 Green Bay Packers. Both teams have already secured a spot in the postseason, but the winner of this game claims the division. The NFL betting odds for this showdown favor Green Bay by nine points and the total has been set 47.5.
The Lions beat their division rivals 19-7 way back in Week 3 as one-point home favorites, but the Packers have dominated this series in recent years with a 15-3 SU record in the last 18 games and a 4-1 record ATS in their last five home games against Detroit.
There is still one Wildcard Round spot left in the AFC and a pair of West Division foes that are still in the hunt will square-off this Sunday in hopes of claiming it. The 9-6 San Diego Chargers will go on the road as 2.5-point underdogs to face the 8-7 Kansas City Chiefs. The betting odds for the total on 5Dimes’ USA online, mobile and live betting Sportsbooks current board are set at 42. The Chiefs won the first meeting this season 23-20 as three-point road underdogs with the total staying UNDER the 45.5-point closing line.
San Diego has the overall edge in this series the past few seasons with four SU wins in the last five games. It is 5-2 SU in its last seven road games against the Chiefs and the total has gone OVER in four of the last five meetings overall. Top
