There are only two weeks left in the NFL regular season, but with bye weeks out of the way and no Monday Night Football, Sunday’s Week 17 slate is a big one.
Still, just because the regular season is coming to a close and there are plenty of games on the odds board doesn’t mean bettors should go overboard with NFL spread predictions.
Proper bankroll management is a key characteristic of those who win over the long haul, so be sure you’re wagering for just one reason: value.
The Action Network’s PRO tools aren’t exactly popping with actionable angles either, but there are still two Sunday games offering NFL spread predictions with too much value to ignore: New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs.

Patriots vs. Bills Prediction
1 p.m. ET | CBS
The Bills are 14-point favorites against the Patriots, which is the largest spread of the entire NFL Week 17 slate.
Still, sharps have not been bashful about steaming Buffalo.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals, which track instances of market-moving action from respected bettors in real-time, are reporting three steam moves on the Bills since Monday, explaining why this line has stretched from -10.5 to -14 over that span.
PRO Report Prediction: Bills -14

Bengals vs. Chiefs Prediction
4:25 p.m. ET | CBS
The Bengals got pounded by the Steelers, 34-11, last week, but that’s exactly why they’re offering value Sunday against the Chiefs.
Since 2003, underdogs of at least three points — Cincinnati is currently +6.5 against Kansas City — coming off 20-point losses are 329-241-13 (58%) against-the-spread based on the Action Network’s Dogs After Blowout PRO Betting System.
Recreational bettors tend to overreact to small sample sizes and the most recent results, and this historically profitable strategy takes advantage of just that.
PRO Report Prediction: Bengals +6.5
