NFL Odds and Picks for Week 18
Here we go: it's the final week of the regular season and we have the trickiest board of the season in front of us. Considering playoff and draft implications is key, but even when we factor those in, anything can happen in any of these matchups.
Last week was another good one for Unders as they went 8-6-1 to push the season percentage on the under to 56.5. Underdogs came out on top last week as well with an 8-7 record. On the year, underdogs are covering at a 55.3 percent clip. Over the last three weeks, unders are hitting 57.4 percent of the time while underdogs are covering 55.3 percent of the time.

Week 15 Record ATS: 7-8-1
Week 15 Record on Totals: 10-6
Week 16 Record ATS: 6-10
Week 16 Record on Totals: 8-8

Raiders vs. Chiefs
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Raiders vs. Chiefs | Chiefs -9.0 | Kansas City -410; Las Vegas +350 | 52.5 |
Spread Pick: Raiders +9.5 (BetMGM)
Total Pick: Over 52.0 (PointsBet)
Jaguars vs. Titans
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Jaguars vs. Titans | Jaguars -6 | Jacksonville -275; Tennessee +235 | 40.0 |
The Jaguars are one of the hottest teams in the league and the Titans have mostly been left for dead despite the potential for winning the AFC South in this spot. With the injury report looking much better in Tennessee this week, I'll side with Vrabel making this one close.
Spread Pick: Titans +6.5 (DraftKings
Total Pick: Under 40.0 (DraftKings)
Buccaneers vs. Falcons
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Falcons vs. Buccaneers | Atlanta -4.5 | Atlanta -190; Tampa Bay +176 | 40.5 |
Spread Pick: Buccaneers +4.5 (FanDuel)
Total Pick: Under 40.5 (DraftKings)
Bills vs. Patriots
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Bills vs. Patriots | Bills -7.0 | Buffalo -280; New England +265 | 42.5 |
Spread Pick: Bills -7.0 (FanDuel)
Total Pick: Under 42.5 (DraftKings)
Bears vs. Vikings
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Bears vs. Vikings | Vikings -7.5 | Minnesota -300; Chicago +285 | 43.5 |
On the one hand, the Vikings are only capable of playing one-score games. On the other, Nathan Peterman is starting for the Bears. Decisions, decisions...
Spread Pick: Bears +7.5 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Under 43.5 (PointsBet)
Bengals vs. Ravens
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Bengals vs. Ravens | Bengals -7 | Cincinnati -303; Baltimore +260 | 42.0 |
Even if the Bengals are locked into their playoff spot and have little to play for, the Ravens still might be starting Anthony Brown at quarterback.
Spread Pick: Bengals -7 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Under 42.0 (FanDuel)
Colts vs. Texans
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Colts vs. Texans | Colts -2.5 | Indianapolis -143; Houston +130 | 38.5 |
51% of the money is coming in on Indianapolis and the betting volume is dead-even at 50-50. I'll take the points.
Spread Pick: Texans +2.5 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Over 38.0
Dolphins vs. Jets
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Dolphins vs. Jets | Jets +2.5 | Miami -135; New York +120 | 38.5 |
Keep an eye on the line movement for this one. The Dolphins' quarterback situation is well-known at this point, but the line has bounced around after it was announced Joe Flacco would be starting in place of the injured Mike White.
Spread Pick: Jets +2.5 (FanDuel)
Total Pick: Under 38.5
Saints vs. Panthers
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Saints vs. Panthers | Saints -3.5 | New Orleans -175; Carolina +155 | 41.5 |
Slight overcorrection from last weekend. With this checking in as more than a field goal, I'll take the points.
Spread Pick: Panthers +3.5 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Under 42.5 (BetMGM)
Steelers vs. Browns
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Steelers vs. Browns | Steelers -2.5 | Pittsburgh -135; Cleveland +120 | 40.5 |
Spread Pick: Browns +2.5 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Over 40.5 (DraftKings)
Eagles vs. Giants
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Eagles vs. Giants | Eagles -14 | Philadelphia -899; New York +675 | 43.0 |
The Eagles have motivation to win to lock in the No.1 seed while the Giants are locked into the No.6 seed and might rest key starters. Even if that's the case, it's hard to see Philly going full throttle for 60 minutes. Eagles win comfortably but the Giants stay within the number.
Spread Pick: Giants +14
Total Pick: Under 43.0
Commanders vs. Cowboys
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Commanders vs. Cowboys | Cowboys -7 | Dallas -315; Washington +260 | 40.5 |
Spread Pick: Cowboys -7 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Over 40.5 (FanDuel)
Broncos vs. Chargers
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Broncos vs. Chargers | Broncos -2.5 | Denver -145; Los Angeles +125 | 40.0 |
Spread Pick: Broncos -2.5 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Under 40.0 (DraftKings)
49ers vs. Cardinals
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| 49ers vs. Cardinals | 49ers -14.0 | San Francisco -899; Arizona +675 | 40.5 |
Spread Pick: 49ers -14 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Over 40.0 (PointsBet)
Seahawks vs. Rams
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Seahawks vs. Rams | Seahawks -6 | Seattle -250; Los Angeles +225 | 41.5 |
Spread Pick: Rams +6 (DraftKings)
Total Pick: Over 41.5 (DraftKings)
Packers vs. Lions
| Game | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Packers vs. Lions | Packers -4.5 | Green Bay -222; Detroit +198 | 49.5 |
Spread Pick: Packers -4.5 (BetMGM)
Total Pick: Over 49.0 (DraftKings)
