With one week left in the 2010 regular season, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Chicago have locked up spots in the NFC; but seeding, wild cards and home-field advantage are unclear. The Rams and Seahawks also have a do-or-die meeting to see if the NFC West's representative in the postseason will be .500 — or worse. Green Bay and New Orleans get the NFC Wildcard with a win. The Patriots have locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC along with Pittsburgh, Kansas City while the Colts are in a must-win situation. Baltimore and the New York Jets have clinched AFC Wildcards. Let’s take a look at the Top 2 early NFL Week 17 Predictions and compare NFL Point Spreads .
Top Two NFL Week 17 Matchups: Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts (-9) (O/U-47.5)
The Colts (9-6) have already defeated the Titans, in Week 14 30-28, and another win and they win the once-respectable AFC South. They lose and frankly, they don't deserve to get the division title; but they could if Jacksonville falls at Houston.
The Titans (6-9) have nothing to play for except to be a spoiler and they showed how into that role they were when they traveled to Kansas City this weekend and got hammered. Indy could be playing host to Baltimore, Pittsburgh or the Jets in the wild-card round if they win the division. This could be Jeff Fisher's last game coaching Tennessee.
Recent Trends to Consider:
- Tennessee is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Indianapolis
- Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Indianapolis
- Indianapolis is 20-4 SU in its last 24 games at home
- Indianapolis is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 games when playing Tennessee
- The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Indianapolis's last 11 games when playing Tennessee
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Indianapolis's last 5 games when playing at home against Tennessee
NFL Week 17 Predictions on the Colts vs Titans Game: Colts -9
New York Giants (-4) at Washington Redskins (O/U-44.5)
The Giants (9-6) lost the division to the Eagles by getting waxed at Green Bay. They also lost assurance of a playoff spot. With the way they finished against Philadelphia and had it negatively carry over against the Packers, this is a very dangerous game for them.
Washington (6-9) is still playing hard despite being out of the playoffs and Coach Mike Shanahan is out to prove that his questioned methods have a purpose. Knocking off the Giants would be a positive way to cap his tumultuous first season. A Washington victory could also cost Giants coach Tom Coughlin his job.
Recent Trends to Consider:
- NY Giants are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing Washington
- NY Giants are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing Washington
- Washington is 7-13-1 ATS in its last 21 games at home
- Washington is 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against NY Giants
- Washington is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games when playing at home against NY Giants
