NFL Power Rankings Week 17: Latest Review and 2016-17 Super Bowl Odds
- Updated: December 26, 2016
One week of the regular season stands between bettors and the playoffs.
Now looks like one of the wisest times to invest. As usual, major shake-ups occurred in Week 16, altering the lines. Bettors who had already thrown down on the Tennessee Titans, for example, must look to make back the cash in a hurry after quarterback Marcus Mariota went down with a season-ending injury.
Bettors have one more chance to take advantage of regular-season Super Bowl odds with the playoff picture almost set and featuring oddities such as the 10-win Miami Dolphins.
Below, let’s take a look at the odds out of Las Vegas and updated power rankings.

It looks like the Falcons might be the only team capable of stopping the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC.
At these odds, Matt Ryan and the Falcons are certainly worth the risk. The team has won three in a row and four of five, the only blemish being an acceptable one-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
In Week 16, Ryan cruised with 277 passing yards and two touchdowns on the road against the Carolina Panthers. Perhaps more importantly, his defense picked off Cam Newton twice in the dominant 33-16 victory.
In holiday style, the Falcons’ official Twitter account outlined many of the notable positives bettors should understand:
