Summary
With the egg nog finished and Santa safely back at the North Pole, betting expert Chad Millman and professional sports gambler Simon Hunter deep dive into their best bets for NFL Week 17.
Christmas Day games are done, so they tell their fellow yuletide bettors their favorite remaining NFL matchups across the board, leading up to their final five against the spread bets in their weekly NFL pick 'em pool contest https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/ as our audience competes for a fabulous grand prize trip to South Florida, courtesy of our sponsor Hard Rock Bet!
We also have Simon's weekly Sharp Calls segment, where Simon recaps the conversations he's had with fellow professional gamblers responding to our show earlier this week. NFL betting picks and predictions provided today include their best bets for a blockbuster AFC South matchup between the Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. We also have Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers against Shedeur Sanders and the underdog Cleveland Browns, and the benched Tua Tagovailoa giving way to Quinn Ewers as the Miami Dolphins face Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Plus, can Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills claim victory over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles? Will the New York Giants tank their game against the Las Vegas Raiders to keep pace for the #1 pick in the NFL Draft? And will Caleb Williams continue the Chicago Bears' remarkable run against the San Francisco 49ers? Answers to all these, plus picks and predictions for NFL Week 17 including our Brass Balls Bet of the Week, Round Robin parlays, over/under picks, survivor pool picks, Simon's biggest bets of the week, moneyline favorites, parlays, and so much more. #Volume
