Bookies.com: Bet the under in Falcons vs. Bears NFL Week 17 game
Bill Speros writes: "Both teams won in Week 16. The Falcons are in contention in the NFC South, but they remain on the outside looking in to the postseason. The Bears have a long-shot road to the postseason, but they are trying to figure out a formula for 2024. And Matt Eberflus may well be coaching for his job, if it hasn't already been lost. The home teams get the edge in points here, and the edge in play. All of the trend lines point in Atlanta's direction. But the Falcons will be playing in their worst weather conditions of the year, as they nest at home indoors. And they have landed south of the total in 8 of 9 when playing on the road as underdogs."

CBS Sports: Odds favor Bears in NFL Week 17 vs. Falcons
Tyler Sullivan writes: "Both of these teams are coming off wins in Week 16 and each of them is technically still alive in the NFC playoff race. That said, the Falcons have a more realistic path as they are a game out of the No. 7 seed in the conference and a game behind the Buccaneers for the NFC South lead. This spread opened at Bears -3 and has held coming into the week. Chicago is covering 60% of its home games this season, while the Falcons are 2-4 ATS on the road."
