We've reached the final week of the NFL regular season, and with it, our final chance to gamble on a full Sunday slate of games. It's been a profitable year for our NFL bets - with the help of a little Christmas magic from the Eagles on Monday night, our picks went 10-6 last weekend to bring us to a hearty 123-108-9 on the season.

With this in mind, I recommend you be careful with your bets during Week 17. With some teams already locked into a playoff spot and other teams fighting to extend their seasons, motivations are varient across the league and the lines in Las Vegas are especially volatile.

So we will proceed with caution as we take a look at the Week 17 spreads. If you're a fan of a team with a fringe chance of making the playoffs, consider the prudent thought of placing an emotional hedge bet, so that if your postseason hopes crash and burn on Sunday you'll at least make a profit off of your misery. Other than that, stick to what you know, watch the lines as they move, and make sure you have the most up to date information on who is sitting and who is starting before laying down any serious cash on a game.

Let's get to the picks.

LAST WEEK: 10-6
OVERALL: 123-108-9
