NFL WEEK 17 2025

 Good post Xmas /Holiday morning/day. We head into the final weeks of the NFL with a few important games to be played, and more seriously, plenty of money to be won. 

We start off with our go-to prop bet: Fins RB Archane over 65.5 yards rushing. He's apt to get that on one breakaway carry. 

The best matchup of the day is Eagles at Bills. Not too sure if these teams will be holding back star players, as they both have playoff spots guaranteed. The Bills have more at stake. They can lock in the highest seed as a wildcard team and head to Pittsburgh, where they have already handled the Steelers once. The Bills need to establish a strong winning theme as they enter the playoffs, so we like them today. Take Buffalo minus 3. We are also parlaying the following: Rushing: James Cook over 87.5 yards, Saquon Barkley over 85.5, Josh Allen under 31.5 and Jaylen Hurts under 30.5. 

Teams have windows for championships. And sometimes those windows coincide with another team that has that team's number, and they never get to the big game. Such has been the Bills fate, as they have been unable to get past Mahomes and the Chiefs right at the time Josh Allen has been peaking as a top QB. Now Mahomes is out of the playoffs, and the Bills are poised to beat the newcomers like the Broncos, Jags, and perennial one and done Steelers, who we do think can beat Buffalo in the playoffs despite how well A Rod is playing.  So this is Buffalo's year. They have been warned by Rumpole. They will do with that as they will. 

We like the Steelers on the road at Cleveland with a game they need to win to keep the Ravens, who won last night, out of the playoffs. If the Steelers  win today, their last game against the Ravens becomes meaningless as they will be up two with one today. The line opened as Pittsburgh -3.5 and has risen to -4.5. This could be a close game, coming down to a game winning field goal. So take the Steelers money line or pay the odds (a teaser) to move the line to -2.5. 

The Sunday night game is Chicago at San Fran. The Bears locked up their division when the Ravens beat the Packers last night. Take San Fran -3.5 and/or the under 52. That number is too high. Fun fact. The 49ers have NOT punted since November 31.

WHY IS RUMPOLE GOING TO STOP BLOGGING? WHO IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE BLOG?

Maybe the SAO got to him. First amendment free speech is frowned upon over at 1350 NW 12th Ave.

Is it true the disgraced, unethical SAO wants this blog shut down?

Maybe the SAO sent Rump a cease and desist letter? They dislike free speech they don’t agree with.

My goodness Rumpole. Your betting tips continue to stink. But we still love the November 31 line. The 49ers were supposed to be dead and buried this year with all of their injuries and turmoil. Instead they have a coach who weekly and annually gets everything out of his players and they could be in a position of not having to even pack a suitcase through the SB.

The First Amendment protects five core freedoms from government interference: religion, SPEECH, the press, peaceful assembly, and the right to petition the government. It means you can believe what you want, say what you think (even if unpopular), publish your views, gather with others, and ask the government to fix problems, without the government censoring you or stopping you from expressing yourself.
