Our expert NFL picks for Week 17 of 2023

Here’s who we’re picking in Week 17.

There are just two weeks left in the NFL regular season and the league has never been more unpredictable. Outside of the Ravens and 49ers it’s unclear who can step up in the AFC and NFC to make the Super Bowl, with a huge amount of the teams being locked in the “very good, but not great” category.

That’s made for a pretty amazing season. Parity is on full display from week-to-week, and when coupled with some big surprises it’s made it impossible to predict the results. Still, we press on give our thoughts on who we think will win. Week 17 is less about who can make it in to the playoffs, and more about who can ruin another team’s chances.

One bizarre game to circle is Panthers vs. Jaguars. Jacksonville could be without Trevor Lawrence due to injury, and are in a very tenuous position, locked in a three-way tie for the top place in the AFC South. Nobody needs a reminder that the Panthers are bad, but they’ve been competitive since firing Frank Reich and could pull off a shock here is Lawrence is unable to play.

Here are our picks.
