The NFL is about to play its entire season, despite the coronavirus pandemic. The virus forced people to play games on Tuesdays and even Wednesdays. But here we are, week 17 of the 2020 NFL schedule.
It’s also a weekend of divisions only, and all 16 are contested on Sunday. Two divisions have yet to be decided: the NFC East and the AFC South.
Besides asking our experts the biggest possible upset, we inquired about what the Jets should do with the overall number 2 in the 2021 draft, the best fantasy choice in 2021 and an MVP for 2020.

What is your best upset for Week 17?
Matt Bowen, NFL Analyst: Giant (+3) over Cowboys. I bet on Patrick Graham’s defense to limit explosive plays in this one, with a New York run game that can control both pace and game flow on power schemes.
Mike Clay, fantasy writer: 49ers (+5.5) over Seahawks. Can the short-haired 49ers play spoiled against their hated rival? They definitely did it last week by going on the road and beating the Cardinals, and they also beat the Rams on the road back in Week 12. This week they are ‘home’ again and facing a crime in Seattle the face, who has solved two Tests in just one of the last five games.
