Tennessee Titans (6-9) vs. Indianapolis Colts (9-6) 
NFL Betting Line: Indianapolis Colts -10 (48)
The Colts need a win or a Jaguars loss to clinch a division title and the Titans have the running game to make them sweat a bit.
But the NFL week 17 picks favorite Colts are listed at -10 in the NFL betting spreads and the game means a lot more to them.
Peyton Manning keeps losing productive offensive players but keeps bouncing back and having great weeks at the helm of the Colts' offense.
With the Titans ranked 27th against the pass in the NFL, the Colts are sure to put up big points.
The Titans have a good running game but it has been hit-or-miss in the second half of the season so go with the Colts in this one; the Titans aren't likely to be able to match the Colts through the air by any means.
 
FREE PICK: Indianapolis Colts -10 (OVER)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carolina Panthers (2-13) vs. Atlanta Falcons (12-3) 
NFL Betting Line: Atlanta Falcons -14 (40.5)
The Falcons are just a game up on the Saints and need a win or New Orleans loss to clinch the division.
The Falcons also have home field throughout the playoffs on the line for this one as well. It's a big game and the Falcons have done well in big games this year against much tougher opposition before last Monday's loss to the Saints.
Carolina is a 14-point NFL week 17 picks underdog coming off their blowout loss to Pittsburgh last week and for good reason: the Panthers are in shambles.
Jimmy Clausen has been poor all year and if he tries to do too much to show Carolina they should pass on Andrew Luck in the draft, he'll end up throwing about 5 picks in this one.
 
FREE PICK: Atlanta Falcons -14 (OVER) 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oakland Raiders (7-8) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (10-5) 
NFL Betting Line: Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 (43)
The Chiefs have clinched a division title while the Raiders are just playing for pride.
Kansas City is favored by 3 ½ going into this one. The Raiders would love to finish above .500 with a win, however.
A win would make the Raiders 6-0 against division competition but the Chiefs are rolling right now.
 
FREE PICK: Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 (OVER)

Spread Picks - (27-18)
