Speaking of betting model edges, Jacksonville laying a field goal is among the biggest of NFL Week 17.
While this number has settled at Jags -3 across the market, our projection of Jacksonville -4.4 translates to a 3.1% edge for those willing the back the favorite on Sunday afternoon.

49ers vs. Raiders Pick
4:05 p.m. ET | FOX
Once again we’ll lean on the Action Network’s NFL PRO Projections, but this time to identify an overreaction on the 49ers vs. Raiders total.
Derek Carr has been benched by head coach Josh McDaniels, paving the way for Jarrett Stidham to start Las Vegas’ final two games of the season.
Despite what most perceive as a downgrade at quarterback for the Raiders, our NFL betting model still suggests a bet on this over.
Even with Stidham under center, we project the 49ers vs. Raiders total at 44.8, providing a 3.7% edge when compared to the widely-available 42.5.
PRO Report Pick: Over 42.5
