The Week 17 NFL odds have the 13-2 Minnesota Vikings as only 1.5-point home favorites over the 11-4 Green Bay Packers with an over-under of 49. Minnesota won the first matchup, 31-29, though Green Bay made the score closer than the game itself. With quarterback Sam Darnold playing at a Pro Bowl-caliber level, Minnesota has its sights on the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first round bye with wins in their final two regular season games. Though the Packers have already clinched a playoff spot, will they play spoiler for their hated rivals in Week 16, or should the Vikings be among the your Week 17 NFL best bets? Before you make any Week 17 NFL picks, be sure to see the exact NFL score predictions from SportsLine expert Eric Cohen.

Top Week 17 NFL picks
After diving into all 16 games from the NFL's Week 17, Cohen is high on the Detroit Lions (-3.5, 51) to remain atop the NFC with a 34-27 win in San Francisco. The Lions averaged 32.9 points per game, best in the league, and 408.6 yards per game (second behind Baltimore). Quarterback Jared Goff continues to play at an All-Pro level, with more than 4,000 yards passing and 33 touchdown passes through Week 16.
Meanwhile, the 49ers are in a tailspin, having lost five of their last six games and having been eliminated from postseason contention. Without potentially their top-three running backs (including rookie Isaac Guerendo), the 49ers might struggle to run the ball, even against a banged-up Lions defense. Cohen expects a high-scoring affair but doesn't trust the San Francisco defense to slow the potent Detroit attack. See his other Week 17 football score predictions at SportsLine.
