2024 NFL Week 18 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

NFL Week 18 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

There are a few playoff spots up for grabs as the NFL regular season reaches its conclusion in Week 18. However, the biggest game is between clubs already earmarked for the postseason with a lot more at stake. The NFC North and the conference’s No. 1 seed will be determined with the outcome of the Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions clash on Sunday Night Football. The Vikings kept pace setting up the showdown with a 27-25 win over Green Bay on Sunday, their ninth straight and fourth straight payout. The teams met in Week 7 with Detroit getting a late field goal for the 31-29 decision after blowing an 11-point fourth quarter lead. It was the Lions’ fourth straight win over Minnesota and their eighth straight payout. The teams have been among the most profitable in the NFL this season with the Vikings 11-4-1 ATS while Detroit has cashed in 10 of their first 15 games.

That key Sunday night contest puts a bow on the 2024 regular season, but the excitement starts on Saturday when the AFC North takes center stage. Just a few weeks ago the Pittsburgh Steelers were in control of the division leading Baltimore by two games. However, a three-game slide coupled with the Ravens’ winning three in a row leaves Baltimore in the driver’s seat. A win over Cleveland and the Ravens get the division and No. 3 playoff seed. Baltimore opened as the biggest favorite of the season spotting the Browns 18-points. Pittsburgh has already clinched a playoff spot and the Bengals still have a chance, though they need a win and some help. Russell Wilson passed for 414 yards and three TDs in Pittsburgh’s 44-38 win in Week 13, their third straight in the series. The Steelers have not scored more than 17 points in any game during their current slide.

Denver can secure the final wild card in the AFC with a win over Kansas City. And the Chiefs have already announced they’ll sit most of their regulars after clinching the No. 1 seed last week. The Broncos are a 10-point favorite. Miami is also still alive and must beat the Jets to have a chance. The Fins beat Cleveland, 20-3, on Sunday with Tyler Huntley throwing for 225 yards and a TD starting in place of Tua Tagovailoa. And with Tua’s status uncertain Miami is just a 1-point favorite on the early line.

There is only one spot left in the NFC and it’s reserved for the champion of the South Division. Tampa Bay took over first place by beating Carolina, 48-14, on Sunday behind five Baker Mayfield TD passes and can win the division by beating New Orleans. The Bucs have won five of their last six games going over the total in their last three and they massacred the Saints, 51-27, in Week 6. Tampa hit the board as a 13.5-point favorite. The Falcons wilted down the stretch losing five of their last seven games, including Sunday’s night OT setback to Washington. The Falcons hold the tie-breaker having beating the Bucs twice, but they need to beat Carolina as an 9-point favorite and hope the Saints pull off an upset.

With the No. 1 pick in the draft up for grabs you have to wonder about the motivation of some teams. The Giants, New England, Tennessee and Cleveland have the fewest wins heading into Week 18 and all but the Titans are underdogs. Tennessee hosts Houston, which is locked into the No. 4 seed and really has nothing on the line. The game surfaced as a pick ‘em. We’ve seen movement in just about every game since the betting lines surfaced and with games difficult to handicap given the circumstances I’m sure the numbers will change up until kickoff.

It’s never good entering the offseason on a losing streak and the Bears have a good one going. They’ve dropped 10 straight scoring more than 20 points just once during the slide. And they’re coming off one of their worst offensive performances of the year in a 6-3 loss to Seattle. The Packers extended their winning streak in the series to 11 blocking a potential game-winning field goal to secure a 20-19 victory in Week 11. Green Bay is a 9-point favorite to make it 12 in a row.
