NFL Week 17 Officiating Angles: Finding Edges in Raiders-Colts, Steelers-Seahawks and Bengals-Chiefs

We went 2-1 last week, bringing this column to 30-18 (+10.2 units) on the year. We cashed the Falcons and Bears against the spread, but lost on the Giants-Eagles Under. 

Now we have dialed in on three Sunday games and how the officiating assignments could affect the outcomes.

Joe Gibbs (not the Hall of Fame coach, the NFL referee expert who tweets @NFLrefstats1) is collaborating with SportsLine this season to provide weekly, referee-based betting angles. He analyzes the NFL ref assignments from the moment they're released each Tuesday.

Before you make any Week 17  NFL picks  or NFL parlays, you need to see what Gibbs and SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein have to say about the officiating crews' tendencies.

We can tell you Hartstein and Gibbs are betting the Raiders (+3.5) at Indianapolis, in part because referee Shawn Smith drew the assignment. Home teams are 2-11 straight up and 4-8-1 against the spread with Smith officiating this season. In Smith's career, home teams are 38-51-4 ATS (43%).

The Raiders are 4-3 SU and 5-1-1 ATS under interim coach Antonio Pierce. Under Pierce, Vegas is averaging just 3.4 penalties for 26 yards -- lowest in the NFL over that span. For the season, the Raiders are a bottom-five team in pre-snap penalties while the Colts rank in the top five.

Hartstein also is sharing key officiating angles in Steelers-Seahawks and Bengals-Chiefs. You need to see this critical referee data before locking in your picks!

So what's the play for Steelers-Seahawks? And what other officiating edges can be found on the Week 17 slate ? ...  Join SportsLine right now to see Larry Hartstein's Week 17 NFL officiating trends, all from the expert who went 53-34-3 in the SuperContest last year !

NFL Referee Assignment for Super Bowl 58 & Impact on NFL Betting

We tend to only focus on NFL referees after a controversial decision or bad no-call. Yet each head NFL referee and his respective crew interprets the game differently.

Gaining insight into the way a game will be officiated can have immense value in the betting market.

A referee who calls more penalties for defensive holding and roughing the passer has a far different impact on game flow than a ref who focuses more on offensive holding and false starts.

Referee style one week may hide a team’s weakness (defensive backs), but a different official who leans heavily on calling pass interference will compound that weakness the next week.

Same team. Different outcomes.

Throughout this 2023 NFL season, we’ll help to identify important trends and tendencies by different NFL referees to help you gain an edge when placing a bet .

Bill Vinovich’s Impact on Chiefs vs. 49ers in Super Bowl 58

The Chiefs and 49ers meet in Super Bowl 58. The game will officiated by Bill Vinovich, his third Super Bowl as a head referee.

Bill Vnovich was in charge of proceedings in the Chiefs’ 31-20 victory over the 49ers in Super Bowl 54 to conclude the 2019 NFL season. This game marks the first time the same referee has officiated a Super Bowl rematch.

Vinovich is the epitome of a “let ‘em play” referee, especially in postseason games.

We have detailed the decline in offensive holding penalties throughout these playoffs versus regular season averages. Expect that to continue in Super Bowl 58.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa brought the issue to the media’s and hopefully the officiating crew’s attention in the lead-up to the big game.

The Chiefs have been the number one beneficiary of the reduction in offensive holding in the playoffs. It would be an ideal scenario for the 49ers to see more offensive holding calls in Super Bowl 58, but that is unlikely.

The all-star officiating crew is a topic of conversation when assessing the Super Bowl. How can we preview a game if the referee in charge doesn’t have the entirety of his regular season crew on the field?

It’s a valid point, and we did an in-depth look at this last week.

If there is one surefire playoff trend, regardless of the crew makeup and the head referee, it’s the emphasis on reducing overall penalties.

Look for the Vinovich-led crew in Super Bowl 58 to follow that script.

Now, let’s assess the strengths and weaknesses of the teams in the Super Bowl from a penalty perspective and how the officiating of the Bill Vinovich-led crew will potentially impact these games

Penalty Tendencies:

• Since Bill Vinovich’s first Super Bowl as a head referee between the Patriots and Seahawks in 2015, his games are averaging 9.5 penalties for 78.4 yards. Keep these numbers in mind for any penalty props that may be available for this Super Bowl
• The Chiefs overall offense and offensive line issues were well-documented throughout the 2023 season. The penalty issues for the Kansas City offense have seen a sharp decline in their playoff run
• The Chiefs averaged 5.3 penalties per game in the 2023 regular season, with 63% committed by their offense. That averages out to around 3.5 offensive penalties per game
• The Chiefs are averaging just 2.6 penalties per game on their current playoff run, with the offense responsible for 70% of penalties. That amounts to around 1.8 offensive penalties per game, a significant drop from the regular season average. Since the drop in offensive penalties is primarily via offensive holding, it’s a huge boon to a Kansas City offense that struggled at times in 2023
• The decline in offensive holding is standard operating procedure every season in the playoffs. The NFL wants an aesthetically pleasing product in highly viewed postseason games. It just so happens Kansas City is the biggest beneficiary of this in 2023
• The 49ers offense is responsible for just 46% of the team’s overall penalties in 2023, with their offensive line responsible for just 24% of the team’s overall penalties
• The 49ers were a below-average penalized team for offensive holding in 2023
• In their Super Bowl 54 matchup in 2020, there was one offensive holding penalty called by Vinovich’s crew. More notable in that game were the non-calls, particularly in situations involving the aforementioned Nick Bosa 
• The 49ers and Chiefs defensive units are the two least impactful at generating offensive holding penalties on the opposing offenses in 2023, ranking 31st and 32nd respectively. In their five combined playoff games in the 2023-24 playoffs, these defenses have generated one accepted offensive holding penalty and have had one additional call declined
• Vinovich ranks second for false start penalties per game
• The 49ers and Chiefs share a common trait in penalties surrendered via passing plays. Defensive pass interference makes up the bulk of penalties surrendered in this category, with 61% of the Chiefs’ infractions and 58% of the 49ers’
• The back judge in Super Bowl 58 is from the Land Clark crew. One of the more controversial no-calls in 2023 came in Chiefs at Vikings in Week 5. It was a late-game defensive pass interference by L’Jarius Sneed on Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison . The flag was thrown by the side judge but picked up after a discussion with the back judge and head referee Land Clark.
• The 49ers and Chiefs offenses are top five beneficiaries of defensive holding infractions
• The Vinovich-led crew has members from the Clark, Shawn Hochuli, and Tra Blake crews. All three were above average calling defensive holding.
• Vinovich is co-ranked number one for illegal use of hands penalties and second overall for illegal block in the back penalties in 2023. These are two categories the Chiefs are highly penalized in versus league average. These infractions are more likely to get called in Super Bowl 58 with the Vinovich and Hochuli crews heavily represented in this game
• No referee has called fewer roughing the passer penalties than Vinovich since the start of the 2018 NFL season, averaging one approximately every seventh game officiated. This is far fewer than other referees over that same stretch. Across the board, the average is one roughing the passer penalty approximately every 2.5 games officiated. Keep these roughing the passer numbers in mind for penalty-specific prop bets in Super Bowl 58
• In playoff games, Vinovich-led crews have called just one roughing the passer penalty in 14 contests officiated since the 2012 season. The inclusion of two Hochuli crew members is the only cause for concern about roughing the passer, as they led the NFL in this category. However, at the end of the day, Vinovich runs this outfit and his numbers override everything else.
• Conversely, Vinovich-led crews in those 14 playoff games have called 13 unnecessary roughness penalties
• Pre-snap penalties are to be avoided at all costs. The Chiefs were one of the best in the NFL this season, ranking 30th overall. It’s worth noting, four of the five teams with the fewest pre-snap penalties in 2023 made the playoffs

Bottom Line:

• Vinovich-led crews are 60-39-2 (60%) to the under since the start of the 2018 NFL season, including 10-7 (60%) to the under in 2023
• In playoff games dating back to 2012, Vinovich is 9-8 to the under. The Chiefs’ 31-20 victory in Super Bowl 54 stayed under the closing total of 52.5 points. We are dealing with a far lower number in this contest
• A little-mentioned factor in the lead-up to this game is the new grass field surface at Allegiant Stadium. Last year’s surface in Arizona was a debacle, and it favored the offenses. From an in-game wagering perspective, the focus on offensive holding, or the probable lack thereof, is issue No. 1. The second piece to the puzzle is field conditions. Those two factors alone will impact the total as much as anything else

If the 49ers bring their “A” game, they can win Super Bowl 58. At their best, San Francisco looked near unbeatable in the 2023 season.

However, it’s been a while since we’ve seen that form, and frankly, they were fortunate to win their first two playoff games.

We thought the Ravens would be a tough out in the AFC Championship, but the moment proved to be too big for them.

The positive for the 49ers is that they have a loaded roster with high-IQ players who shouldn’t make the same discipline-related errors that contributed to the Ravens’ downfall. The team needs to play its best game from the get-go in Super Bowl 58.

Conversely, the Chiefs’ fast starts have had them largely control games during their playoff run. Its coaching staff and its core group of players provide them with an edge in this matchup. This is especially true at the quarterback position.

The bottom line is they won’t beat themselves, making the Kansas City Chiefs the play in this game and the winner of Super Bowl 58.

Super Bowl 58 Referee Crew & Penalty Trend

Heading into the 2023 NFL playoffs, the three referees most likely to officiate the Super Bowl were Bill Vinovich, John Hussey, and Shawn Hochuli. It’s no surprise five of the seven Super Bowl officials are members are from these crews.

Two members apiece are from the Bill Vinovich and Shawn Hochuli crews.

The remaining three officials are from the John Hussey, Tra Blake, and Land Clark officiating crews.

These five crews represent 30% of all officiating crews in the NFL, which is a key number when detailing the following penalty categories.

NFL officiating crews for Week 14 games and which teams could benefit the most

N FL officiating crews often play a large part in determining which teams win or lose each week. As on-the-field arbiters of the league’s rulebook, officials have the power to destroy an offense’s momentum, or hurt a defense’s chance of preventing a team from advancing within range of a game-winning field-goal attempt. All with the toss of a yellow flag.

First look at NFL Week 14 games, including Eagles-Cowboys, Bills-Chiefs and Seahawks-49ers

There are 17 NFL officiating crews, and they are assigned to games each week, depending on how many games are played. For instance, Week 14 features 15 games, with two teams — Arizona and Washington — not playing due the bye week.

Below are Week 14 assignments for the NFL officiating crews, along with a detailed look at which teams might be helped or hurt by who will be calling penalties at their game this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots, 8:20 p.m. ET

Head official: Clay Martin | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: The Pittsburgh Steelers . Neither team is among the most penalized in the league, but the officiating crew should favor the Steelers based on the penalties that Martin’s crew likes to call and the crew’s tendency to make more calls in favor of the visiting team.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Alex Kemp | Games officiated: 12

Who should benefit the most: Atlanta Falcons . Among the NFL officiating crews, Kemp’s group flags the second-most penalties in the league and tends to make calls in favor of the home team. And the Bucs already rank in the top one-third of the league in penalties per game. They also have a greater likelihood of committing an offensive penalty, the type this crew calls the most.

Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Tra Blake | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: Detroit Lions . The Bears draw more flags at home than they do on the road, and Blake’s crew also dings home teams at a higher rate. Someone like Darnell Wright, who’s among the league leaders in penalties, could have a rough day on Sunday, especially since half of his 10 penalties have been false starts.

Indianapolis Colts at Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Shawn Hochuli | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: Cincinnati Bengals . The Bengals are among the league’s least penalized teams, and the calls from Hochuli’s crew typically skew in favor of the home team. Pittman, by the way, leads all NFL receivers in penalties.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Ron Torbert | Games officiated: 12

Who should benefit the most: Jacksonville Jaguars . Torbert’s crew, the fourth most likely to throw flags among the NFL officiating crews, could have a field day with Wills and fellow OL Wyatt Teller, who’ve combined for seven holding calls and four false starts.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Alan Eck | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: New Orleans Saints . This matchup is about as close as it gets when it comes to NFL officiating crews, but Eck’s crew is slightly friendlier to home teams, and the Saints draw far fewer flags at the Superdome overall.

Houston Texans at New York Jets, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Brad Allen | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: New York Jets . While Allen’s team tosses the fewest flags among the NFL officiating crews, this is one area where the Jets have a clear edge over the Texans, who are much more susceptible to flags thrown at their defensive backfield.

Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Scott Novak | Games officiated: 12

Who should benefit the most: Los Angeles Rams . This edge is ever so slight, with the Ravens having a tiny uptick in penalties at home and the Rams doing the reverse. But the numbers show that penalties shouldn’t have much of a bearing on this game.

Minnesota Vikings at Las Vegas Raiders, 4:05 p.m. ET

Head official: Craig Wrolstad | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: Minnesota Vikings . These are the two least penalized teams in the NFL , yet the Vikings have a modest advantage given the tendency of Wrolstad’s crew to ding the home team more often.

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, 4:05 p.m. ET

Head official: Brad Rogers | Games officiated: 12

Who should benefit the most: San Francisco 49ers . It almost doesn’t matter which of the NFL officiating crews is assigned to this game. The Seahawks are the most penalized team in the NFL, they commit far more penalties on the road, and they are playing a 49ers team that gets flagged much less at home than on the road. It’s a bad combination for Seattle, which needs all the help it can get in this NFC West matchup.

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs, 4:25 p.m. ET

Head official: Carl Cheffers | Games officiated: 10

Who should benefit the most: Kansas City Chiefs . Taylor is by far the most penalized player in the NFL . Beyond that, the Chiefs have the most flagged defensive back, L’Jarius Sneed, and tight end, Travis Kelce. Yet most of the Bills offensive linemen have five penalties apiece, and the NFL officiating crews aren’t too kind to the Bills outside of Buffalo.

Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers, 4:25 p.m. ET

Head official: Clete Blakeman | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: Los Angeles Chargers . The numbers favor the Chargers at home, even though the Broncos are flagged far less on the road. Among the NFL officiating crews, Blakeman’s team watches the defensive backs as closely as any of them, so players like Surtain and James need to be careful not to draw an untimely flag that could alter the course of the game.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, 8:20 p.m. ET

Head official: John Hussey | Games officiated: 11

Related: Why the Dallas Cowboys haven’t proven they are real Super Bowl contenders in 2023

Who should benefit the most: Philadelphia Eagles . Of the 17 NFL officiating crews, none calls more penalties than Hussey’s crew, and the Cowboys are the second most penalized team in the league. At the same time, they aren’t flagged as much at home, and the numbers clearly show that Hussey’s crew tends to ding the road team the most. So, if the Eagles have an edge, it’s not necessarily a big one.

Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins, 8:15 p.m. ET

Head official: Adrian Hill | Games officiated: 11

Who should benefit the most: Miami Dolphins . Dolphins receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle should have a field day, thanks to some help from Hill’s crew, which likes to flag defensive backs at a higher rate than any other position, and might be the most home-friendly among the NFL officiating crews.

Green Bay Packers at New York Giants, 8:15 p.m. ET

Head official: Land Clark | Games officiated: 12

Who should benefit the most: New York Giants . The Packers are among the league’s hottest teams, but of the NFL officiating crews assigned to Week 14 games, Green Bay might have one of the biggest disadvantages. The calls from Clark’s flag-happy crew skew largely in favor of the home team, and the Giants are penalized slightly less at home.

There are 17 NFL officiating crews, and they are assigned to games each week, depending on how many games are played. With no more bye weeks, Week 15 will feature 16 games; Alex Kemp’s crew has the week off. In the Broncos-Lions game Saturday night, John Hussey will be officiating his 350th NFL game.

Below are Week 15 assignments for the NFL officiating crews, along with a detailed look at which teams might be helped or hurt by who will be calling penalties at their game this week.

Los Angeles Chargers (5-8) at Las Vegas Raiders (5-8), 8:15 p.m. ET

Head official: Ron Torbert

Torbert’s crew: 2023 stats

• Games officiated: 13
• Penalties: 13.5 called/game (1st out of 17)
• Home team win %: 76.9 (21.6 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 50.9 (7th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (3.9 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (5.0 calls/game)

Who benefits the most?

Las Vegas Raiders . While Torbert’s crew throws more flags than any crew in the league, the home team ends up winning most of the time, and the Raiders are the least penalized team in the league. Torbert’s crew is the league leader in false start calls.

Minnesota Vikings (7-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (7-6), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Bill Vinovich

Vinovich’s crew: 2023 stats

• Games officiated: 12
• Penalties: 11.9 called/game (out of 17)
• Home team win %: 41.7 (13.62 below norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 53.1 (3rd out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (2.4 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (3.4 calls/game)

Cincinnati Bengals . Vinovich’s crew appears to favor the home team in terms of the flags thrown, and the Vikings’ offensive line in particular will be susceptible on the road.

Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) at Indianapolis Colts (7-6), 4:30 p.m. ET

Head official: Adrian Hill

Hill’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 12.33 called/game (tied 8th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 58.33 (3.04 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 42.6 (17th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (2.58 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (3.33 calls/game)

Indianapolis Colts . In terms of penalties, Hill’s crew is the most home-friendly in the league, even if the home win percentage doesn’t quite show it.

Denver Broncos (7-6) at Detroit Lions (9-4), 8:15 p.m. ET

Head official: John Hussey

Hussey’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 13.92 called/game (1st out of 17)
• Home team win %: 75.0 (19.71 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 44.9 (15th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (3.83 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Defensive back (2.58 calls/game)

Detroit Lions . Hussey’s crew tosses the most flags of all the NFL officiating crews and skews toward the home team more than most. The Lions, however, have been dinged 10 times for defensive pass interference, so that bears watching.

Atlanta Falcons (6-7) at Carolina Panthers (1-12), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Land Clark

Clark’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 13.0 called/game (3rd out of 17)
• Home team win %: 25.0 (30.29 below norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 45.3 (13th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: Offensive holding (2.92 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Defensive back (4.33 calls/game)

Atlanta Falcons . Clark’s crew throws the third-most flags overall among NFL officiating crews, ranks third in offensive holding calls, and is slightly friendlier toward road teams.

Chicago Bears (5-8) at Cleveland Browns (8-5), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Brad Allen

Allen’s crew: 2023 stats

• Games officiated: 11
• Penalties: 10.83 called/game (16th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 45.45 (9.84 below norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 46.2 (12th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: Offensive holding (2.3 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Defensive back (3.2 calls/game)

Cleveland Browns . This is nearly a push, but Allen’s crew is kinder to home teams than most of the NFL officiating crews, and the Bears’ offensive line is among the most penalized position groups in the league.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) at Green Bay Packers (6-7), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Tra Blake

Blake’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 12.75 called/game (5th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 50.0 (5.29 below norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 51.0 (6th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (2.7 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (4.0 calls/game)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers . None of the NFL officiating crews throws more defensive pass interference calls than Blake’s does, making the Packers more vulnerable, since their DBs are the team’s most penalized group.

Houston Texans (7-6) at Tennessee Titans (5-8), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Clete Blakeman

Blakeman’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 11.3 called/game (12th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 75.0 (19.7 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 47.4 (11th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (2.0 calls/game)

Tennessee Titans . The Texans lead the league in flags for defensive pass interference calls, and Blakeman’s crew ranks third in that category among the NFL officiating crews.

New York Jets (5-8) at Miami Dolphins (9-4), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Brad Rogers

Rogers’ crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 12.6 called/game (6th out of 17)
• % of penalties called on home team: 48.8 (9th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: Offensive holding (3.2 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (3.5 calls/game)

Miami Dolphins . Just looking at the home-road splits shows this to be a favorable matchup for the Dolphins, even though Rogers’ crew ranks first among the NFL officiating crews in terms of offensive holding calls.

Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) at New England Patriots (3-10), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Shawn Hochuli

Hochuli’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 12.3 called/game (9th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 66.7 (11.38 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 44.6 (15th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: Offensive holding (2.6 calls/game)

New England Patriots. The Patriots might get some officiating help due to Hochuli’s crew being more home-friendly and the Chiefs ranking No. 1 in offensive holding calls.

New York Giants (5-8) at New Orleans Saints (6-7), 1 p.m. ET

Head official: Carl Cheffers

Cheffers’ crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 11.6 called/game (11th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 50.0 (5.3 below norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 49.6 (8th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (2.3 calls/game)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (2.8 calls/game)

New Orleans Saints . Cheffers’ crew, which made the offsides call against the Chiefs’ Kadarius Toney last Sunday, might be the most neutral among the 17 NFL officiating crews. But its tendency to ding offensive lines favors the Saints, who tend to get flagged much less at home anyway.

Washington Commanders (4-9) at Los Angeles Rams (6-7), 4:05 p.m. ET

Head official: Alan Eck

Eck’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 11.0 called/game (15th out of 17)
• % of penalties called on home team: 48.5 (10th out of 17)
• Most common penalty called: False start (1.8 calls/game)

Los Angeles Rams . Almost a push. Along with skewing toward the home team, Eck’s crew throws the second-least number of flags for defensive pass interference and is among the most defensive-friendly overall of the 17 NFL officiating crews.

San Francisco 49ers (10-3) at Arizona Cardinals (3-10), 4:05 p.m. ET

Head official: Scott Novak

Novak’s crew: 2023 stats

• Penalties: 11.0 called/game (14th out of 17)
• Home team win %: 61.5 (6.2 above norm)
• % of penalties called on home team: 51.0 (5th out of 17)
• Most penalized position group: Offensive line (3.2 calls/game)

San Francisco 49ers . The Cardinals draw the third-most offensive holding calls, and that’s what Novak’s crew calls more often than most.
