by The best way to start the new year is with a full list of NFL games! I don’t know about you, but I don’t just want to watch my fantastic team win a title, I want to start 2023 off with a great payday!
Week 17 certainly brings a lot of excitement…and a lot of questions for sports bettors to consider. Will teams rest their starters for the playoffs? Will some teams play with more courage because they are in the hunt for the playoffs?
One thing is certain: there will be a lot of emotions.
If you want to get in on the action on Sunday, here are some early stocks to lock in at SI Sportsbook.
Justin Fields rushed for 147 yards against the Lions in Week 10. He needs just 71 yards to hit his prop on the ground this week.

Justin Fields 70.5+ rushing yards (-125)
Ignore last week’s misfire. Not only does Justin Fields have the chance to break the single-season rushing yard prop for a QB this year, but he already tore the Lions apart in Week 10 for a whopping 147 yards. This prop is only half of that and Fields is averaging 72 rushing yards per game. Yeah, I’ll bet on the top.
Amon-Ra St. Brown 79.5+ receiving yards (-120)
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 132 targets rank sixth in the league, and he has a 26.5 percent target share for the Lions. The Bears have allowed 173 opposing yards per game in the last three contests, and this game has the highest total of the week on SI Sportsbook, which means we could see a shootout. St. Brown caught 10 passes for 119 yards in Week 10 against Chicago.
Justin Jefferson over 95.5 receiving yards (-120)
Sure, it’s possible the Vikings will rest their starters, as they’ve already won the division, but I don’t think they’ll want to help the Packers have a playoff chance. Meanwhile, Jefferson is on another planet, averaging 117 yards per game this year. In Week 1, Jefferson burned Green Bay for 181 yards, setting the tone for his phenomenal season.
Zack Moss 58.5+ rushing yards (-125)
Since the loss of Jonathan Taylor, Moss has returned to the lead role in the Colts’ backfield, averaging 18 carries and 73 yards per game over the past two. With serious question marks at the QB position, it makes sense that Indianapolis would rely on the run game against a Giants defense that allows the second-most yards per carry (5.66) in rushers. opposing ball this year.
Jerick McKinnon over 30.5 receiving yards (-120)
McKinnon seems to be a favorite target for Patrick Mahomes. He’s averaged six catches and 71 receiving yards per game over the last three, and he’s topped that prop in all of them. McKinnon had 112 yards against Denver in Week 14, so expect him to top that weak receiving prop.
