Sunday Night Football SGP Week 17: NFC Playoff Hopefuls Square Off

• Heavy rain is expected during the game

• The Falcons have registered 16 of their 26 sacks over the last four weeks

• Jayden Daniels has rushed for 66+ yards in three of his last four games

This week’s holiday edition of Sunday Night Football is one of the week’s best matchups. The NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons will travel to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Commanders. Both teams are still working to lock in a playoff spot, but only one will be able to do that on Sunday.

Under 47.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook

Usually, we would be locked in on this, but the DC is expected to see a lot of rain on Sunday. That rain will likely extend into the night, making the game slippery and sloppy. That will be a problem for a pair of rookie quarterbacks, leading to a low-scoring affair. 

Another reason we love this bet is that the Falcons' defense has been improving over the final stretch of the season. They have allowed 17 or fewer points in three of their last four games, with the lone exception coming on the road against the Vikings. The improvement has been due to the pass rush, which has registered 16 of their 26 sacks over the last four weeks.

The weather and improved pass rush will make life difficult for Jayden Daniels, preventing the Commanders from running up the score.

Commanders -6.5 (+111) at Caesars Sportsbook

We are confident enough in Washington to tease this spread out to -6.5. That is primarily due to Atlanta having a rookie quarterback making his second career start. The 24-year-old debuted strongly but came against a Giants’ defense that has struggled since losing Dexter Lawrence. 

The Commanders allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game (185.5). Their pass rush, which has seven sacks, 23 quarterback hits, and 23 TFLs over its last three games, is a big reason for that. That pressure will rattle the rookie on the road, leading to a rough outing.

Jayden Daniels Anytime TD (+121) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Commanders quarterback has been racking up rushing yards lately, posting 66+ in three of his last four games. He scored twice during that run and will do so again on Sunday Night Football.

Washington’s Brian Robinson Jr. is a talented back (4.3 YPC) but will face a solid Falcons run defense. The young back will struggle to find running room, leading Daniels to see more carries. We also expect the rookie to scramble in the red zone as the rain makes passing difficult.
