All of your Week 18 NFL picks will come on divisional contests as the league moved to this scheduling format a few years ago. Many of these matchups carry meaning for playoff seeding such as Panthers vs. Buccaneers (-2.5) and Seahawks vs. 49ers (+1.5) on Saturday, plus Broncos vs. Chargers (+12.5) and Ravens vs. Steelers (+3.5) on Sunday. Then there are games to make Week 18 NFL predictions on where one team is fighting for seeding while the other has already been eliminated from postseason contention. Some of these include Texans vs. Colts (+10.5) and Patriots vs. Dolphins (+10.5).
Motivation and incentive shouldn’t be overlooked with your NFL best bets and when scouring the latest Week 18 NFL odds. The largest of the NFL spreads has Jacksonville as 12.5-point favorites over the Titans, while one of the slimmest lines has the Bears favored by 3 points over Detroit.

Top Week 18 NFL predictions
We can tell you one of the model’s strongest Week 18 NFL picks is that the Packers (+6.5, 36.5) cover at Minnesota on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed and could rest its starters, including a banged-up Jordan Love, but it should still have enough to stay within a touchdown versus an imbalanced Vikings team. Minnesota had 3 passing yards in its Christmas win over Detroit, which is the fewest by any team in a win in 19 years. The Vikings rank 29th in total offense, 30th in turnover differential and dead last in giveaways. Also, since Matt LaFleur became coach in 2019, Green Bay owns the NFL’s third best spread record (19-10) as a road underdog. The model has Green Bay prevailing versus the spread nearly 70% of the time. See which other teams to pick here, and bet the Packers using the DraftKings promo code, which offers $200 in bonus bets if your bet wins right here:
Another one of its Week 18 NFL predictions: the Jaguars (-12.5, 47.5) cover versus the Titans in over 50% of simulations in a Sunday kickoff at 1 p.m. ET. The Jags have won seven straight, can wrap up the division with a Week 18 win, and have a shot at the AFC’s No. 1 seed if they get some help. So, motivation won’t be a question for Jacksonville, which is 6-1 straight up and 5-2 ATS over its last seven matchups versus Tennessee. The Jaguars also boast the league’s best home spread record (6-1) in 2025, while the Titans are one of two teams to rank in the bottom five in both scoring offense and scoring defense. SportsLine’s model predicts Jacksonville to cover, as well as the over hitting 60% of the time. See which other teams to pick here, and bet the Jags to cover at DraftKings:
