NFL Betting Week 17: Sharp Plays & Best Bets

The Betting Plug is our other weekly NFL write-up that highlights the top betting plays from our Chief Data guy @CFB_Moose and betting contributor @MCintheDMV32. We’ll start by looking at betting odds as a whole, but then the Plug will provide actionable information for the games on Sunday by making specific recommendations on how much of your bankroll to allocate and exactly which types of bets to place. Consider this an in-depth sports betting road map for the Sunday games. Let’s get to it!

Notable Betting Odds

It is always a good idea to have at least 2 or more options to wager. We can’t express the importance of line shopping!

Sharp Money:

Listed below are a handful of plays that “sharp” money is on. Sharp money is large wagers made from professional betting syndicates across the country. These wagers are usually spread out across several sports books and will make a line move across the board.
