Despite the uncertainty surrounding Week 18 starters, Joe Osborne identifies key betting trends to capitalize on in the final week of the NFL regular season. Learn how to navigate the minefields and find profitable opportunities.
Week 18 presents plenty of minefields to navigate, but it doesn't mean all betting trends get thrown out the window. Despite the confusion of who’s starting and who isn’t, there are still some great moneymaking opportunities.
Be careful when targeting teams you might think are intentionally tanking — did you see the New York Giants score 45 points last week? Also keep in mind that if you know about it, then the sportsbooks do, and they might overcompensate for the news on which players will be owed big bucks if they can stuff the stat sheet. That doesn’t mean you can’t find edges, it just means you might need to dig a little deeper. The penultimate week of the regular season saw favorites cover 73.3% of games, which now has them up to 54.8% on the season.Week 18 is always a little different and this season’s edition follows suit with four games boasting double-digit spreads, led by the Baltimore Ravens being favored by 19 over the pitiful Cleveland Browns. We also have a lot of contrasts with totals with five games having totals in the 30s, while the final game of the week (and season) between the Vikings and Lions has the highest total of the entire season at 56.5 points.Here is a look at the betting trends for every Week 18 game, which will hopefully be a good starting point for your handicapping. Best of luck and see you in the playoffs! The Cleveland Browns just scored 17 points in the first half against the Texans. Cleveland ranks dead-last in scoring with 15.5 points per game and appears to have fully taken its foot off the gas with Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their QB. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers look like gigantic frauds after getting stomped in three straight vs the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs. Cincinnati is favored by two. A win and lots of help can get the Bengals into the playoffs while the Steelers have already clinched a spot
