I’m here to share a few of my top picks for the Week 17 NFL slate on Underdog. Most of these predictions are heavily based on our projections.
Be mindful of the fact that these are what we deem to be optimal picks at the time of publish. Just like with any sport, the news cycle in the NFL is fluid, so the picks below may become more or less appealing depending on a variety of factors. But rest assured that our NFL DFS projections team is constantly making updates.
Below, I’ll detail how I’m approaching things on Underdog for Week 17.
