The NFL season is coming down to the wire and with it comes a ton of opportunistic prop markets. We’re looking into every market to uncover some of the week’s best side, team, player, and derivative prop bets. We do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to!
We’re adding to our Week 17 prop list which includes fading one of the better quarterbacks in football while simultaneously riding with one of the worst passers in the league. We’re also betting on a fullback as well as a tight end coming off the COVID list.
Without further ado, we bring you our Week 17 free player prop picks and predictions.

I feel like I should warn you: You are about to enter a 5-10 minute love fest for one of the most dynamic, exciting running backs in all of the NFL, who has gone from being a superstar to an absolute offensive weapon for the San Francisco 49ers — and also has one of the best nicknames in the sport.
All hail “Run-CMC.”
Can you tell I’m excited to spotlight Christian McCaffrey props this week? He’s got a very juicy Week 15 matchup against a floundering Seattle defense, and the NFL odds on CMC’s props are providing some intriguing value… although my free NFL picks aren’t going in the direction you’d think.
Here’s a hint: Both our 49ers vs. Seahawks betting preview and our best TNF player props are banking on big days from Niners pass-catchers… an…
If you’re like me, you’ve been putting some miles on the Christmas movies this month.
I’ve watched all the mainstays, like “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, and sat down for a few holiday flicks with the kids, such as “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and every variation of “The Grinch.”
Most Xmas movies are formulaic. The protagonist is put into some sort of yuletide pickle, bad things happen, and they’re eventually bailed out by a Christmas miracle. Cue celebrating in the snow while the end credits roll to “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by Darlene Love.
My latest NFL picks could use a little of that holiday help in Week 16.
I’m on a 2-7 ATS slide in the NF…

RB Leipzig have parted company with head coach Jesse Marsch after a poor start to the season. Last season’s Bundesliga runners-up were beaten 2-1 at Union Berlin on Friday, a third consecutive league loss that saw them drop to 11th.
Marsch was hired to replace Julian Nagelsmann, who join Bayern Munich in the summer, but has seen his team win just five of their 14 league games this season.

The club said in a statement: “RB Leipzig and head coach Jesse Marsch have mutually agreed to part ways. The decision is the result of an in-depth analysis and intensive discussions after the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin.”
“During England Under-21s European Championship win, James Trafford made their second goal against Germany with a throw to Harvey Elliott. Which other goalkeepers have got an assist with their hands?” tweets Dan Griffin.
Elliott’s brilliant solo effort added more gloss to a tournament Trafford will never want to forget: no goals conceded, one created. Goalkeeper assists are increasingly common – there have been 95 in the Premier League era – though the majority involved a timely punt downfield rather than a throw.
Peter Schmeichel got the first of those 95 with a huge up and under at Bramall Lane on 15 August 1992. But his right arm was a much greater weapon than his right foot. When he joined Manchester U…
Rio de Janeiro! The Olympics will be held in South America for the first time ever (and only the third time in the Southern Hemisphere.) Also … Not Chicago. In a somewhat surprising turn, the Second City became the Fourth City after being eliminated in the very first round of IOC voting. Tokyo went next and Madrid came in second.

What’s the more notable detail from this SNY report: that Knicks games are apparently being blacked out in Turkey as part of the Turkish government’s ongoing hostility towards Enes Kanter; or that Enes Kanter expects the Knicks—currently in the NBA’s bottom 10 in both offensive and defensive rating—to challenge for a playoff spot? “Let me tell you something, man, people don’t know it,” Kanter told SNY.tv. “People are saying that we’re so young, whatever. People don’t understand, if you’re young, that means we got fresh legs. We got a lot of energy, we can compete. So I don’t think it’s an excuse, we can take advantage of that. Whenever we’re out there, just compete and just do our best. “If we stay together and we play our basketball, yes I believe it�…
