NFL Week 17 Picks: Home Favorites to Take to the Bank

With the playoffs on the line, there are still a number of spreads that have yet to be decided for Week 17.

There are, however, a number of home favorites to jump on already.

Here are the top picks for this week.

Eagles -9

Philadelphia closes out their disappointing season at home this week against the up-and-down Redskins.

They beat up the Cowboys twice in the second half of the season and nearly spoiled the Giants' year once again as well. They also beat Washington the first time around and could end up being 5-1 in division play this year and avoid a losing season with a win.

Even at -9, the Eagles are the play, as they look to end the season with a huge win.

Patriots -12.5 

New England is playing for the No. 1 seed in the AFC East and for revenge against a Bills team that people once thought could be playing for the division title.

Bill Belichick doesn't often take it easy on anyone, and the Bills will feel his full wrath.

Look for Brady, Belichick and the Pats to blow the doors off this game early and keep scoring as Brady chases down Dan Marino's recently-passed yards record.

It is unlikely that Brady will set the record, as Drew Brees has the advantage, but it won't be for lack of trying.

Raiders -3

This one simply comes down to trends.

Oakland is 5-0 against the spread when playing San Diego in the last three seasons with a 2-0 mark at home.

This week, with the playoffs on the line, the Silver and Black may look like a risky pick, but they have recent history on their side.
