The NFL Lines – Week 17
The AFC playoff picture is all but set, but the NFC still has a couple of pieces to be fit into a place. With a handful of games left to complete the postseason puzzle, Nick Tedeschi and Cliff Bingham turn their attention to the upcoming week 17 action.

DALLAS @ WASHINGTON: 1 UNIT ON DALLAS +3.5 AT $1.80 (SPORTSBET)
The Cowboys have been in good form of late and have so much potential in their offense that they can shock a Washington Redskins team that does not have RG III fit. For mine, this was a +2.5 game. A Cowboys win would not surprise as the likes of Austin, Bryant and Witten can make plays and DeMarco Murray provides a running threat. The Boys will still be smarting after Thanksgiving too.

Most games this week either (a) have no bearing on the playoffs and are therefore a matter of who cares more (or more pertinently, lesss) or (b) only matter if other games fall a certain way. The two that legitimately matter in all circumstances (Packers at Vikings and Cowboys at Redskins) sadly involve bookmaker lines that align almost perfectly with the prices I came up with. See you next week for Wild Card Weekend.
Hey guys
Time for youse to revisit your preseason tips. I do recall you both loved the Bolts and pooh-poohed my claim that Denver would go 14-2.
Mind you, you guys did do better than me overall. I gave up after week 7 when I clawed my way back (yes, clawed my way back) to -30% POT.
For what it’s worth, I like Atlanta to play Denver in the Super Bowl. I know you guys would adhere to the adage ‘it’s not about the X’s and O’s, it’s about the jims and joes.’ Manning and Von v the 3 best receivers in White, Julio and Gonzalez (even though I’m very low on Matty Ice). Should be a good game.
