NFL Week 18 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

The final weekend of the NFL regular season is upon us with some teams looking to qualify for the postseason, others looking to improve their seeding, still others waiting for the playoffs and the rest getting ready for the offseason. Two playoff spots are available in the AFC and just one in the NFC. The biggest game of Week 18 is the AFC East clash between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins with the division title on the line. As a result the game was moved into the Sunday Night Football slot and it will put a bow on the 2023 regular season. The common theme for Week 18 is all divisional matchups.

With a win the Bills will clinch their fourth straight division crown and the first round home playoff game that comes with it. They would’ve beaten the Dolphins in both regular season games winning the tie-breaker. The Dolphins have already earned a playoff berth but would like nothing better than to erase the stench of last week’s 56-19 trouncing by Baltimore. The first meeting took place back in Week 4 with the Bills securing a 48-20 home win. Sitting at 5-5 following a Week 10 loss to Denver, it looked like Buffalo’s run was coming to an end. The Bills regrouped winning four straight and five of their last six games putting them on the verge of another division title. The early NFL line had the Bills as a 3-point favorite.

Other divisions around the league have yet to determine a champion making for some interesting matchups in Week 18. Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Houston are all tied atop the AFC South. The Texans and Colts square off in one of two Saturday games with Indy an early 1-point favorite. The Jags visit last-place Tennessee on Sunday with their playoff hopes still up in the air. They could’ve clinched a spot if not for a four-game losing streak that ended in Week 17 thanks to a 26-0 shutout of Carolina. The Jags are laying 3.5-points in that matchup.

The NFC South will determine its champion on the final day of the regular season. And whichever team survives will get a Wild Card home game while the others will make tee times. Tampa Bay controls its destiny and can secure the title with a win over Carolina. The Bucs are a 5.5-point favorite on the early line, though beating the NFL’s worst team isn’t a given. Tampa escaped with a 21-18 win when the teams met in Week 13, though they failed to cover the 3.5-point spread. There’s a chance the Falcons can win the division, but it starts with them beating New Orleans on Sunday. Atlanta limps to the finish line with just one win in its last four games and is catching 5.5-points on the early line.

Midway through the season the Philadelphia Eagles had the best record in the NFC and were fighting for the NFL’s top spot. A late season meltdown not only cost them the No. 1 seed it may have cost them the NFC East title as well. Philly was upset at home, 35-31, on Sunday by the Cardinals as a 12.5-point favorite. It was their fourth defeat in the last five games leaving them tied with Dallas. The Eagles have a date with the Giants on Sunday while the Cowboys can win the division by beating Washington, which they are favored by 13.5-points to do.

Heading into Week 18 the top seeds in each division have been decided bringing the question of motivation into play for San Francisco and Baltimore. The Niners recovered from a loss to the Ravens in Week 16 by beating Washington, and with the Eagles losing Frisco wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. On Sunday the Niners host the Rams as a 3.5-point favorite. LA also clinched a playoff berth with a narrow 26-25 win over the Giants. Following their big win at San Francisco the Ravens showed no signs of a letdown and improved their Super Bowl odds with a 56-19 rout of Miami, their sixth straight win and 10th in 11 games. With a number of players expected to sit the finale against Pittsburgh on Saturday, the Ravens opened as a 4-point dog on the early line.

Though 12 teams have been officially eliminated heading into the final weekend only two games consist of teams not going to the postseason. The Jets at Patriots and Broncos at Raiders games might end up looking like preseason tilts that are difficult to handicap.
