NFL Week 17 "Best Bet" Betting Trends

 The 2020 NFL regular season draws to a close in Week 17 with a full schedule of 16 games on Sunday, Jan. 3.

Heading into this final round of matchups, Kansas City, Buffalo and Pittsburgh have secured their respective division titles. The AFC South as well as all three wild card spots remain up for grabs. 

Green Bay, New Orleans and Seattle have won their division title in the NFC. The dismal NFC East has yet to be decided among three teams with losing records. The two of three wild card sports remain open with Tampa Bay earning the first available playoff spot.

Everything will be decided late Sunday night following the Washington at Philadelphia game. The opening round of the playoffs the following weekend will feature six games in a new twist on the NFL's postseason's format.

As far as placing a few timely bets on this Sunday's games, here are few interesting betting trends that might be worth taking note of.
