‘Bear Bets’: The Group Chat’s favorite Week 17 bets; MVP, playoffs wagers

Another exciting weekend of NFL football is upon us, meaning it’s another opportunity to throw some money down on the big games. 

And if you are betting on the games, you’ll want to listen to The Group Chat segment of the latest episode of “Bear Bets,” as the crew breaks down this week’s biggest matchups.

FOX Sports’ Chris “The Bear” Fallica and Geoff Schwartz, along with Sam Panayotovich and Will Hill, had a lot of thoughts on the Week 17 slate and some futures bets to make.

Let’s get right to their bets.

Schwartz: Sit tight if you already have a ticket on one of the favorites

“We’re absent this year of a surefire MVP. It’s not like that in most years when you get to Week 17, where it’s either Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady [to win the award]. Like, it’s very simple. This year, it’s not and it could change this weekend.

“I would not play anything because you don’t know what’s going to happen.”

The Bear: Maybe bet Josh Allen +800

“I think at that number and just where he was thought to be at the beginning of the year and the fact that he’s leading this comeback, I think that story would gain some…
