Week 18 Breakdown:

IDK how many people are still reading this, but congrats if you made it this far! Week 18 is all about motivation. A ton of teams are packing it up and trying to avoid any major injuries. So you should focus on the teams that are trying to win (picking the other side of tanking teams).

Jaguars @ Titans (JAX -13):

The Jaguars can get the bye if they win and both the Patriots and Broncos lose. That’s super unlikely to happen, but they’ll be going all out just in case.

Broncos vs Chargers (DEB -12.5):

The Broncos secure the #1 seed and the bye if they win. They’ll be taking on a Chargers team that’ll be benching their starters.

Texans vs Colts (HOU -10.5):

The Colts are out of the playoffs and will be starting Riley Leonard. The Texans can actually win the AFC South if they win and JAX loses. They also want to stay the #5 seed so they can play the winner of BAL and PIT. They’re going all out this week.

Patriots vs Dolphins (NE -10.5):

The Patriots can get the #1 seed if they win and the Broncos lose. So they’ll for sure be doing everything they can to win against the Dolphins.

Chiefs @ Raiders (KC -5.5):

The Chiefs are awful, but the Raiders need to lose to lock up the #1 pick. Look for the Raiders to do everything in their power to lose this game (likely benching anyone that’s good).
