Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders
- When: Saturday, January 7th, 2023. 4:30pm EST.
- Where: Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, NV
- NFL Odds: Chiefs (-8) // Raiders (+8)
Kansas City is 4-11-1 against the spread. Not only that, but the Chiefs have gone 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10.
Also, turns out that Josh McDaniels knows more than we do. Josh started Jarrett Stidham and the Raiders hung with the San Francisco 49ers in week 17. Vegas covers.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Las Vegas Raiders
Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
- When: Saturday, January 7th, 2023. 8:15pm EST.
- Where: TIAA Bank Field, Jacksonville, FL
- NFL Odds: Titans (+6.5) // Jaguars (-6.5)
The Jaguars are as hot as any team in the NFL. Jacksonville has won 4 straight. The Jags have covered in 4 straight and 5-of-6.
Tennessee must start Joshua Dobbs at quarterback. Jacksonville rolls to the AFC South title with a huge win and cover.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars
Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
- When: Sunday, January 8th, 2023. 1:00pm EST.
- Where: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
- NFL Odds: Vikings (-4) // Bears (+4)
Minnesota’s defense is a mess. The Vikings allowed Green Bay to rush for 163 yards. Justin Fields might already be the best dual-threat quarterback in the league. If you feel brave, back Da Bears on the moneyline.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Chicago Bears
Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints
- When: Sunday, January 8th, 2023. 1:00pm EST.
- Where: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, LA
- NFL Odds: Panthers (+3.5) // Saints (-3.5)
Both teams have a lot at stake. New Orleans more so than the Panthers. But the trends say the Saints bomb in a bad way. New Orleans is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 versus NFC South rivals and the Panthers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 in the Dome.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Carolina Panthers
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
- When: Sunday, January 8th, 2023. 1:00pm EST.
- Where: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA
- NFL Odds: Browns (+2.5) // Steelers (-2.5)
The Browns dominated a lackluster Washington squad in week 17. Things get demonstrably more difficult for Cleveland in week 18.
If the Steelers win, they keep their playoff hopes alive. Pittsburgh won’t know if they’re in the playoff until some other things happen. We should assume that Mike Tomlin will have his team ready. Also, rookie QB Kenny Pickett is for real.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
L.A. Chargers vs. Denver Broncos
- When: Sunday, January 8th, 2023. 4:25pm EST.
- Where: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO
- NFL Odds: Chargers (-3.5) // Steelers (+3.5)
The Bolts are a popular pick because LAC has won 4 straight and are 3-0-1 ATS in those 4 games. Denver, though, may have turned the switch in their last.
But although Denver will play better, the line is much too low to go against the Chargers. The Bolts head to the playoffs with an impressive 11-6 straight up record after winning this by at least 6.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: L.A. Chargers
Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers
- When: Sunday, January 8th, 2023. 8:20pm EST.
- Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
- NFL Odds: Lions (-3.5) // Packers (+3.5)
Green Bay has rolled through their opponents, winning and covering in 4 straight. Detroit has won 7-of-9 and has won 8-of-9 against the spread.
The Lions have a good enough offense to keep pace with the Packers on the scoreboard. If the line were Green Bay -3, we might consider backing the Pack. But at 4.5, Detroit is the play.
2022 NFL Week 18 Pick: Detroit Lions
