Week 18 NFL Pick’em Cheat Sheet
Take a glance at our favorite plays from every game this week. This section features a combination of picks for today’s main slate that you can find on sites like Underdog and Sleeper!
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Kevin Austin > 42.5 Receiving Yards – No Chris Olave, and Austin is auditioning for a bigger role next season.
Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Joe Burrow > 235.5 Passing Yards – Burrow hasn’t been shut down yet, so there’s no reason to pull the plug in Week 18. Nice number vs. a defense that has been bad in the second half.
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Jordan Mason < 71.5 Rushing Yards – This game is atrocious. Not much confidence in this one, but I’m assuming a committee approach as the Vikings look to next year.
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
Pick: Jaydon Blue > 52.5 Rushing Yards – The highly touted rookie has waited all year to have a chance, and he’ll dance with one of the worst (if not the worst) rushing defenses in football.
Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Tony Pollard Any Time Touchdown – He’s got a contract incentive, and his boys want to get him paid. Great odds on it.
Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
UPDATE: Nico Collins is inactive.
Pick: Nico Collins > 61.5 Yards – According to ESPN, Houston still has a 15% chance to win the division. Even if Collins plays about 60% of the snaps, this is a low number against a bad defense.
New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: No Props Posted – Ugly game anyway.
Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Amon-Ra St. Brown < 73.5 Receiving Yards – Not sure what the motive would be to play him a full allotment of snaps with no postseason hopes.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Troy Franklin > 20.5 Receiving Yards – Denver has a high probability to obtain the No. 1 seed, but it’s not a lock, and the NFL did a good job of scheduling the Pats and Jags to play during the same window. Low number for Franklin.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas Raiders
Pick: This one is a straight-up pass from the Props squad.
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
Pick: Michael Wilson > 65.5 Receiving Yards – Without Marvin Harrison, there is no reason for Michael Wilson to keep hammering out a breakout season. ARZ throws at a very high neutral rate.
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots
Pick: This one is messy. Pass from the Props team.
Washington Commanders @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Not a ton of props posted – ugly game anyway.
