Week 17 was pretty darn good for Sporting News' NFL game picks and predictions against the spread to build on a strong 2023 regular season overall. But in the expanded schedule, there's still one more week to get more things right than wrong.

Putting all that together, here's a complete betting breakdown of a full, division-matchup only slate before the stakes are raised in the weeks ahead of Super Bowl 58
