Wow. We made it to the final week of the NFL regular season, and it felt like it flew by. I appreciate everyone who checks out these articles every week. It’s been a hell of a ride with some ups and downs, but we kept our heads up and moved forward. We have one more opportunity to make some money with a full slate of football. The final week is always weird with players sitting out, but here are my Week 18 best bets for the last week of the regular season.

Week 18 Best Bets
Texans ML @ Colts (-116)
The Texans may be dealing with some injuries, but the Colts are banged up too. A few of Indy’s offensive linemen didn’t practice during the week and are questionable heading into this Saturday matchup. Since C.J. Stroud returned from his injury, this Houston offense is right back to where it was before he got hurt. This game is, essentially, a playoff game for both these teams, since a Jaguars’ loss would put the winner of this game into the postseason. Ultimately, I think it’s Houston who comes out of this one with the win.
Titans +3.5 vs. Jaguars (-105)
Mike Vrabel said the Titans won’t punt on the season heading into their season finale. For Tennessee, they can play spoiler to a division rival, and I truly think they might. Trevor Lawrence, if he even plays, will be battling through injury. This Jaguars’ offense has been a mess the last two months, and I can’t imagine it looking much better with an injured, or backup, QB under center. I like the Titans to cover the spread in this one, and I would even sprinkle the ML.
Saints ML vs. Falcons (-158)
The Saints aren’t a great team. In fact, they may not even be a good team. The good news for them is they’re in the worst division in football at the moment. This is a win-and-in game for New Orleans, and they get a Falcons team that’s fresh off a blowout to the Bears. I think the Saints get the win here against Atlanta.
Raiders -2.5 vs. Broncos (-120)
The only thing the Raiders have to play for at this point is Antonio Pierce. He should get the head coaching job in Las Vegas next season, and the players love playing for him. He’s rejuvenated the vibe in the locker room after starting the season with Josh McDaniels (remember him?). The Broncos threw their season away by benching Russell Wilson, and Jarrett Stidham won’t keep Denver competitive against a full-go Raiders team. I like the Raiders to win and cover against the Broncos.
Bills ML @ Dolphins (-152)
The Bills have sparked a fire within their team at the right time. The offense is finally starting to score some points, but it’s the defense that’s really stepped up. In fact, I’d go as far as to say the defense is why the Bills have a win-and-in game after their poor start to the season. The Dolphins are just too injured right now. Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert will likely be out of this one, and we saw what just happened to Miami in a similar scenario last week. I think Buffalo goes into Miami and takes down the Dolphins to secure their playoff spot. Take the Bills to get the win.
