Week 17 early Games
4:25 pm Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (-5, 40 1/2) - Are the Bears going to just lay down for this game? Unlikely. Chicago won the first meeting, in Chicago, 25-20, and the Vikings need a win or a Philadelphia loss, to reach the playoffs. With the pressure on, the Vikings may not have enough to whip the Bears at home.
4:25 pm Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (-14 1/2, 45 1/2) - Pittsburgh really needs this game, and some help, if they plan on being in the playoffs. The Bengals are the perfect fall guys for them, having lost four of five with Jeff Driskel replacing Andy Dalton at QB due to injury. The Steelers won the first meeting, 28-21, in Cincy, with Dalton at QB, Expect a Steelers win, but not by much.
4:25 pm Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens (-6, 41) - In week five, the Ravens topped the Browns, 12-9, in overtime. Cleveland would like nothing better than to knock the Ravens out of the playoffs by beating them. The Browns, at 7-7-1, can finish over .500 for the first time in many years, so an upset is a distinct possibility. There's no pressure on the Browns and they've won their last three and five of the last six. Look out for a huge story here.
4:25 pm Los Angeles Chargers (-6 1/2, 41 1/2) at Denver Broncos - If the Chargers win and the Chiefs lose, LA wins the AFC West, which would be a real shocker. The Chargers should hold up their end of the bargain, though the Broncos beat them, 23-22, in week 11. There's a lot on the line here for LA, and a win but not a cover is likely.
1:00 pm Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs (-13 1/2, 54) - The last time these two matched up, the Chiefs outlasted the Raiders, 40-33. That's probably not sitting well with the Raiders and they have plenty to play for in terms of pride and next season, so expect a pitched battle which could produce an upset.
4:25 pm Philadelphia Eagles (-6 1/2, 42) at Washington Redskins - The Eagles really need the Bears to beat the Vikings because then, if they win, they're a wild card. Count on them hammering the Redskins.
4:25 pm San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams (-10, 49 1/2) - In week seven at San Francisco, the Rams walloped the 49ers, 39-10. San Francisco isn't going to give this one away, so there's a good chance they'll be more competitive. Take the points.
8:20 pm Indianapolis Colts (-3 1/2, 43) at Tennessee Titans - The Titans are going to make everybody wait until game time, but the prospects are pretty good that Marcus Mariota will be behind center for this win-or-go-home game. The Colts pounded on the Titans back in week 11, putting a 38-10 hurting on them. This game may be on the road, but the Colts may have the Titans' number, no matter who starts at QB for Tennessee.
