Now, they'll have another chance to clinch with a win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent's defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

Top Week 17 NFL AI picks
After analyzing every game in Week 17, the AI PickBot says the Browns cover comfortably as 6-point home underdogs against the Dolphins on Sunday. Miami kept slim playoff hopes alive with a win over the 49ers last week but no longer has control of its own fate in the AFC playoff picture.
Oddly enough, it's been the Miami offense that has struggled this season. The Dolphins ranked second in the NFL in scoring and first in total offense last season, but enter Week 17 ranked 23rd in scoring and 18th in total offense in 2024. Meanwhile, the Cleveland defense has actually been playing decently the last few weeks despite having to paper over the fact that the offense has turned the ball over at least three times in five straight games.
The Browns are only allowing 301.3 yards per game over the last three weeks and Myles Garrett has eight sacks over his last seven games. That's a big reason why the AI PickBot rates a Browns cover as an A+ pick and also predicts a 27-22 outright win on average.
