5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 17

Keep Riding Edelman as a Big Favorite

In Julian Edelman's past eight games, he has hit 70 yards in all but one. This week, he and the New England Patriots face the New York Jets as 13.5-point favorites. Being a large favorite can lead teams to running the ball more and may sound like a losing venture for a wide receiver. This hasn't been the case for Edelman, who has seen a slight increase in scoring when the Patriots are favored by more than a touchdown.

In these games, Edelman gets slight bumps in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. His volume is as consistent as any wide receiver in the past two months, which makes him the perfect cash game receiver for Week 17.
