Non Starters trending up for Week 17

  • RB JK Dobbins vs the Steelers could be big this week.

  • WR Amon Ra St Brown vs the Bears is gold.
  • WR Romeo Doubs vs the Vikings.
  • WR KJ Osborn vs the Packers is good.
  • QB Baker Mayfield vs the Chargers is huge.

Busts:

  • QB Kirk Cousins vs the Packers is dangerous here.

Kiev O'Neil: 20+ years of sports betting experience. Podcast host since 2017. College Football since 2019 412-367-27 UP 58.7U NFL since 2018 249-228-16 up 40U UFC since 2019 82-74-5 up 34.1U I do not necessarily look at myself as being a so called “sharp” sports bettor. Instead I like to think of myself as a great compiler of information who specializes in the Big 10, but also handicaps all NFL, NCAA football, UFC, Basketball, Horse Racing and more! I encourage people to specialize in a conference or division that will help give them the greatest edge in their sports wagers. I am never against a person betting against their favorite teams when the situation is right.
