This article provides betting advice for Week 18 NFL games, particularly focusing on the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers. It highlights the potential value in betting on the Dolphins before Tua Tagovailoa's status is confirmed and the Chargers against a resting Chiefs team.
With uncertainty surrounding Tua Tagovailoa 's Week 18 status and the Dolphins ' historical struggles in cold weather, Miami is only favored by 2.5 against the disastrous Jets. Take the Fins before Tua is cleared or the line moves the wrong way. NFL Week 18 can be one of the more “bat-shit” crazy slates in all of sports betting, with motivations mixed for the final games of the regular season.
In order to come out clean on the other side, bettors often have to take an early position with the opening numbers or wait for more info on team plans and wager later in the week. I take my best stab at the “bag of cats” that is Week 18 in my final “Bet Now, Bet Later” of the regular season. Strap in. The Dolphins are still alive in the AFC playoff chase but could face their greatest foe in the final game of the season. No, not the Bills. The forecast for East Rutherford this coming weekend is cold, with temperatures “feeling like” the mid-20s with the potential for strong winds at MetLife Stadium. Tua Tagovailoa, who sat out Week 17 due to a hip injury. He was doubtful for the game in Cleveland and his status for Week 18 is unknown. Should Tua play, this spread will go through the key number and likely sit at Dolphins -4 or higher. If you like a motivated Miami team against whatever the Jets are right now, take the favorite at -2.5 now. The Chargers are in a similar spot as the Raiders, needing a win to get to the playoffs. They face a Chiefs team resting starters, so the line is moving aggressively toward the Bolts. That should be enough of a prompt to push this spread through L.A. -5.5 and find the Bolts closing somewhere on the other side of six points. Coach Jim Harbaugh also told the media that “11 (wins) sounds better than 10” and isn’t one to back into the playoffs, so there’s a good shot his starters play most of this final game. The Raiders aren’t going to the tournament but there are plenty of players and coaches looking to impress Tom Brady or at least bolster their resume for the offseason. Las Vegas’ recent wins have bumped them back in the draft order, so tanking is no longer a threat
