NFL Week 17 picks: Why you should consider Lions, Panthers and Colts
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his three best bets ahead of Week 17 games. Find out why he likes the Lions, Panthers and Colts to cover the spread.
The penultimate week of the 2024 NFL regular season continues Thursday. The Chicago Bears (4-11) will host the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) in the season’s final edition of “Thursday Night Football” in 2024.
Week 17 kicked off with two AFC clashes on Christmas Day, and the football-packed holiday schedule has us lined up for another intriguing showdown on Boxing Day.
The Seahawks are coming off a heartbreaking loss at home against the Minnesota Vikings and are looking to bounce back with a win to keep pace with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West title race. Seattle has dropped two in a row and another loss on Thursday night would render its Week 18 matchup with the Rams (9-6) moot because they would be eliminated.
Meanwhile, Chicago has lost nine in a row. The Bears have been outscored 102-42 over their last three matchups. Bears QB Caleb Williams will look to finish the season strong and build momentum toward his second NFL season. However, it could be tough sledding as Chicago’s offensive line suffered multiple injuries on the starting front in Week 16.
This matchup promises to be entertaining with Seattle’s season on the line.
