Week 17 is all about one word: Motivation. Who has it? Who doesn't? Teams fighting for a playoff spot or a bye will go all-out while others will rest starters and some will be counting down the minutes till the season's over.
The key is zeroing in on teams with everything to play for, and fading those who have already checked out.
Underdogs went 8-7-1 against the spread last week and are 129-104-6.
My most confident picks ATS this week are the Packers, Saints, Colts and Titans. Avoid Bears-Vikings and Browns-Bengals.
