All data, stats and trends are updated as of Sunday, December. 31, 1 p.m. ET.

The big topic of discussion entering Week 17 is the NFL MVP race. So far in 2023, we've had eight different players listed as at least a co-favorite to win the award. For comparison, we had four such players last year (Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen, Hurts) and five such players the year before (Mahomes, Kyler, Allen, Brady, Rodgers).

A tough spot for Tua and Lamar…

• Tua Tagovailoa is now 2-8 straight up and 3-6-1 against the spread, road/neutral vs. "winning" teams — he is failing to cover the spread by 9.6 PPG.
• Lamar Jackson is 27-10 SU and 14-23 ATS as a home favorite. Of 217 QBs over the last 20 years, he is ranked 211th ATS as a home favorite.

It is not every day the NFL makes a West Coast team travel to play on the East Coast on short rest.

The Chargers, Seahawks, Rams, Raiders, Cardinals and 49ers have been in this spot 23 times in the last 20 years and they are 8-14-1 ATS (36.4%).

The story that never ends. Dak Prescott does well vs. bad teams and struggles vs. good teams.

He is 36-10 SU, 31-13-2 ATS vs. teams under .500 SU and 22-26 SU, 18-30 ATS vs. teams above .500 SU.

• The 18-30 ATS mark is 261st of 264 QBs in the last 20 years.

In his NFL career, Patrick Mahomes is 35-22-1 to the under in his home starts.

That includes a mark of 15-3 to the under at home over the last two seasons, the most profitable home QB to under in that span.

The Patriots are massive underdogs against the Bills this week, getting as high as +13.5. Depending where it closes, we could see some records.
