GA Tech vs. Air Force, Saints at Falcons picks<\/a> against the spread and even the Vikings at Eagles top gamblers immediate worries, but NFL injuries will affect week 17 odds.<\/p>\n

Week 16 saw its share of injuries but they were primarily to players from out-of-contention teams. Still, that can affect the NFL betting<\/a> landscape. Let\u2019s have a look.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about: Calvin Johnson (ankle), DeAngelo Hall (hamstring), Russell Okung (ankle)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks: HIP<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s ridiculous to say it, but the 6-9 Seahawks are playing for a playoff berth against the Rams next week. So losing Hasselbeck to a hip injury actually is a big deal for them. It\u2019s too early to tell but there\u2019s a solid chance that Seattle will turn to Charlie Whitehurst with its season on the line in Week 17.<\/p>\n

Jon Kitna, Cowboys: OBLIQUE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitna took a physical and emotional beating from the Arizona Cardinals Saturday, tossing two pick-sixes before leaving with an oblique injury. Considering that Stephen McGee looked good in relief, it would make sense for the Cowboys to sit Kitna in Week 17.<\/p>\n

Knowshon Moreno, Broncos: RIBS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This injury occurred the week prior but Moreno tried to play through it in Week 16. He totalled 41 yards on eight touches\u00a0 before halftime but couldn\u2019t finish the game. Denver pulled off the sports betting<\/a> upset anyway.<\/p>\n

Mike Tolbert, Chargers: HEAD\/NECK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bulldozing runner was a godsend for the Chargers and fantasy football<\/a> general managers this season but may have played his last game of 2010 yesterday. He was carted off after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Bengals safety Reggie Nelson. Even if he feels well enough to play next week, the Chargers would be silly to put him in harm\u2019s way now that they\u2019re eliminated from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Arrelious Benn, Buccaneers: KNEE<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s too bad the Bucs won\u2019t have Benn, a rapidly improving rookie wideout, next week when they try to squeak into the playoffs. He took a helmet to the knee yesterday, tore a ligament and has been placed on injured reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
