New York travel to Cincinnati today in the Wild Card round of the NFL play-offs. The winner goes through to the next round to face either the Indianapolis Colts or the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Divisional Round. Cincinnati were the better team during the regular season, going 10-6 to New York's 9-7, but that counts for nothing in the post-season and New York will surely think they can get a result today.

NFL Week Seventeen – Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia travel to Dallas to face the cowboys in week seventeen of the NFL season in a game that determines who will finish top of the NFC East. The Eagles currently lead the division but at 11-4 it is a slender lead, with the Cowboys close behind at 10-5. Both teams won last week, with the Eagles beating Denver 30-27 and Dallas shutting out Washington in a 17-0 win in the Capital.
NFL Week Seventeen – Baltimore Ravens vs Oakland Raiders
Baltimore travel to Oakland in week seventeen of the NFL season knowing that if they win they have secured a spot in the play-offs. However, with seven teams chasing two Wild Card spots in the AFC, they will also be aware that failure could be costly. They stand at 8-7, and will need to overcome the 5-10 Raiders, who have had a resurgence of late and have nothing to lose themselves.
NFL Week Seventeen – Pittsburgh Steelers vs Miami Dolphins
Pittsburgh travel to Miami today in the final game of the regular season for both teams. Neither team has a great chance to make the play-offs but Pittsburgh are the closer of the two at 8-7. There are five teams in the AFC with the same record and two at 7-8, one of which is Miami, and either team would need to win and have a lot of other results to go their way if they are to overtake New York and Denver, who currently lead the Wild Card race.
NFL Week Seventeen betting – New York Giants vs Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota host New York tonight in a game neither side needs to win in terms of the post-season. Minnesota at 11-4 has locked up the NFC North title for the second year in a row but New York are out of the play-offs for the first time since 2004, having gone 8-7 to possess the best record outside the Wild Card spots. However, Minnesota may rest some of their key players and this could lead to an upset, as New York has no reason to do so.
NFL Week Seventeen – New England Patriots vs Houston Texans
Houston host New England today needing a win to keep alive their thin chances of making the play-offs through a Wild Card spot. They are one of five teams who currently stand at 8-7 but have the worst divisional record of the whole group and will need a lot of help. One thing that could work in their favour is the fact that the Patriots have very little to play for and may even field a weakened team for parts of the game.
NFL Week Sixteen – Buffalo Bills vs Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta play host to Buffalo tonight in a game that features two teams that are already eliminated from play-off contention. While Atlanta’s 7-7 record would keep them involved in the AFC Wild Card race, the NFC is tougher and the post-season is out of reach. However, if the Falcons win their two remaining games this [...]
NFL Week Sixteen – Jacksonville Jaguars vs New England Patriots
Jacksonville travel to New England tonight hoping to preserve their slim play-off hopes against a New England side that has been having a very inconsistent year. The Jags are now at 7-7, along with five other teams in the AFC, and need to get out in front of their rivals to catch Baltimore or Denver, [...]
NFL Christmas Day Game – San Diego Chargers vs Tennessee Titans
Tennessee host San Diego tonight hoping to keep their slim play-off hopes alive. The Titans’s win over Miami last week in overtime improved them to .500 for the first time this season but they still need a lot of help and wins in both their remaining games. San Diego need a win to clinch a [...]
NFL Monday Night football – New York Giants vs Washington Redskins
New York travel to Washington tonight hoping to avoid being the latest team to go 7-7 this week. Six teams moved from either 7-6 or 6-7 to a .500 win percentage yesterday and New York need to take their opportunity to take a step away from the chasing pack. Washington, who have been out of the play-off picture for a while at 4-9, can hope only to spoil the party for their NFC East rivals with a win.
