San Francisco's hot streak came to an end last week, as the 49ers lost to Baltimore by two touchdowns on Christmas Day. The 49ers had rattled off a six-game winning streak prior to that loss, but they still control their own destiny to clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Sunday afternoon presents a chance for the 49ers to get back on track, as they are 14-point favorites against Washington in the latest Week 17 NFL odds via SportsLine consensus. They are one of three double-digit favorites in the Week 17 NFL spreads, as the Bills and Eagles are both heavy favorites in their respective games.
Double-digit spreads can be difficult to evaluate at this time of the season, as several teams could be lacking motivation after being eliminated from playoff contention. Which teams should you include in your Week 17 NFL parlays?

Top Week 17 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is backing the Chiefs (-6.5) to cover against the Bengals in a 4:25 p.m. ET start on Sunday. Kansas City can clinch the AFC West title on Sunday following its loss to Las Vegas on Monday. Cincinnati's path to the playoffs became far less realistic following a blowout loss to Pittsburgh, with backup quarterback Jake Browning throwing three interceptions and getting sacked three times.
Star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase missed that game due to a shoulder injury, and he could be held out again on Sunday afternoon. Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has scored four touchdowns in his last three games, racking up 110 yards and a score against Green Bay earlier this month. Kansas City has been the cream of the crop in the AFC, winning 13 of its last 16 games against AFC opponents, and the Chiefs are covering the spread in nearly 60% of the model's latest simulations.
