2024-25 NFL Odds Week 18

NFL odds for Week 18 are often a crap shoot, at best. It's hard to say who's going to play, who's going to rest and who's completely thrown in the towel.

Unquestionably, though, the marquee matchup in odds for NFL Week 18 is Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions. Plenty of other matchups have playoff implications, for qualifying and/or seeding.

Here’s everything you need to know about the NFL odds Week 18 market: opening lines, spreads and betting trends for every game, as multiple oddsmakers provide insights on Week 18 NFL odds and action. Check back regularly for updates and use our BetMGM bonus code to get the most out of your action.

NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 18

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Lions -150/Vikings +130
• Opening total: Over/Under 52.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 7:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With an hour until kickoff, Detroit is -3 (-105) in BetMGM's NFL Week 18 odds. The Lions opened -3 (even) and went to -2.5 (-120) Monday night, and they've been stuck at -3 (-105) since Tuesday.

"Two-way action. But we will cheer the Vikings to knock out any remaining parlays. And the Vikings winning the NFC North is better-suited for us," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

The total is at 56.5, well up from the 51 opener but down from the 58 high point. Davis said the book will want the Under, per usual.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Detroit opened as 3-point chalk in Borgata Sports' NFL odds Week 18 market. There's been no movement so far.

"We are writing tickets on both sides at that number," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "This one is obviously the most meaningful game of Week 18, with the winner securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the loser falling to the No. 5."

Gable noted the total nudged from an already-huge 56.5 to 57, with early money coming in on the Over.

UPDATE 11:15 P.M. ET MONDAY: Detroit (14-2 SU/11-4-1 ATS) tuned up nicely for a Week 18 matchup to determine the NFC's No. 1 seed. The Lions trailed San Francisco 21-13 at halftime, but went on a 27-7 scoring binge en route to a 40-34 victory.

Jared Goff & Co. covered as 4-point favorites.

DraftKings opened Vikings-Lions at Detroit -2.5 (-115) Sunday night. After the Lions' win over San Fran, the spread bumped to Lions -3 (-102). Early spread tickets are running 2/1 and early spread money 4/1 on Detroit.

The total opened at 51 and is already up to 54.5. Ticket count is 6/1 on the Over, and practically all the early money is on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota (14-2 SU/11-4-1 ATS) remains in contention for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. In Week 17, the Vikings built a 27-10 lead, then held off Green Bay to win 27-25 as 1-point home favorites.

Detroit (13-2 SU/10-4-1 ATS) still has Week 17 work to do. The Lions, aiming for the NFC's No. 1 seed and a bye, travel to San Francisco for the Monday night game.

Vikings-Lions opened at Detroit -3.5 in The SuperBook's NFL Week 18 odds market. The spread went to Lions -3 flat in a hurry, then to -3 (even). The total nudged from 52.5 to 52.

"We assumed this game will be on Sunday Night Football," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Minnesota continues to impress. We saw a lot of sharp money on Green Bay this week, and the Vikings handled the Packers with relative ease.

"We’re now at Vikings +3 (-120), after seeing some money show up on the 'dog."

In-Progress Games for NFL Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening point spread: Broncos -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Broncos -550/Chiefs +425
• Opening total: Over/Under 40 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With 70 minutes until kickoff, the Broncos are laying 11 in BetMGM's Week 18 NFL odds. Denver opened -9.5 and initially fell to -9, then stretched to -11 Tuesday and Thursday before topping out at -11.5 this morning.

"We're actually good either way now. We're getting 50/50 action at 11," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "We would prefer the Broncos to win but not cover."

That's because there's plenty of moneyline play on the Chiefs, at an attractive price of +475 as they play a lot of backups today.

The total opened at 38.5 and is up to 40.5, with Cipollini noting the book wants the Under.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Denver hit Borgata Sports' NFL Week 18 odds board as 9.5-point chalk and made a stop at -10 on teh way to -10.5.

"This is a win-and-in scenario for Denver. The good news for the Broncos is Andy Reid will rest the Chiefs’ starters, giving Carson Wentz the start at QB," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Early Denver money pushed this past 10. We will see if any K.C. money starts to come in, but it’s been mostly Denver thus far."

The total went from 38.5 to 39.5.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Kansas City (15-1 SU/8-8 ATS) literally has nothing to play for in Week 18. The Chiefs locked up the AFC's No. 1 seed on Christmas Day in Pittsburgh. K.C. rolled to a 29-10 victory laying 2 points.

It was the Chiefs' sixth straight win and, perhaps more notably, their third straight spread-cover, after a seven-game ATS purge.

Denver (9-7 SU/11-5 ATS) blew a golden opportunity to wrap up the final playoff slot in the AFC. The Broncos took Cincinnati to overtime, but lost 30-24 in the final minute of the extra frame, failing to cash as 3.5-point road underdogs.

Bo Nix & Co. are on an ill-timed two-game SU and ATS skid, after a 6-2 SU/7-1 ATS run got them into playoff contention. Now, Denver needs a win or tie vs. K.C. to get to the postseason for the first time since the 2015-16 season.

With K.C. having nothing to gain, The SuperBook opened Denver -6.5 in Week 18 NFL odds. The Broncos shot straight to -9.5 from there and briefly touched -10, before resettling at -9.5.

"This one moved around, getting up to Broncos -10, then taking sharp money on the 'dog and coming back to 9.5," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Surely the Broncos couldn’t lose at home to the Kansas City backups, right?"

The total opened at 40 and made a stop at 39.5 on the way to 38.5.

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets Odds

• Opening point spread: Dolphins -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Dolphins -140/Jets +120
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New York is 1.5-point chalk in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 18 market. Miami opened -2.5, but as it became clear later in the week that Tua Tagovailoa wouldn't play, the line jumped the fence. The Dolphins briefly got to -2 today.

"We will want the Dolphins, but it's close. We're getting probably 55% Jets bets," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 41, slowly drifted down during the week and bottomed out at 37 earlier today. But it's since rebounded to 39.5, and Cipollini said the Under is the need.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Miami nudged from -1.5 to -2 in Borgata Sports' Week 17 NFL odds.

"The Dolphins aren’t technically eliminated yet, but would need to win here against the Jets and hope that K.C.'s backups can get a win over Denver," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Not a lot of action on the side in this game yet."

One potential positive that Gable noted: Miami will likely face a struggling Aaron Rodgers, who threw two interceptions and was sacked four times last week vs. Buffalo, before being taken out.

The total dropped from 41 to 39.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New York (4-12 SU/5-11 ATS) saw its dismal season continue in Week 17. The Jets were 10-point underdogs and trailed 40-0 by early in the fourth quarter of a 40-14 blowout loss at Buffalo.

Miami (8-8 SU and ATS) got a Week 18 win to keep alive its slim playoff hopes. The Dolphins closed as 3-point favorites at Cleveland and won 20-3, despite not having QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip).

Dolphins-Jets opened at Miami -2.5 in The SuperBook's NFL Week 18 odds, with no movement so far. However, the total dropped from 42 to 40.5 tonight, then settled in at 41.

"The Dolphins could still get in the playoffs, but need help," SuperBook vice president John Murray said.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders Odds

• Opening point spread: Chargers -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Chargers -240/Raiders +200
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: DraftKings Sportsbook opened the Chargers at -5.5, quickly got to -6.5 last Sunday, then fell back to -4.5 by Thursday. But the spread has been on the rise ever since and is now Los Angeles -7.

It's all Chargers on the spread, with 80% of bets/74% of cash on L.A.

The total opened at 41, spent a good chunk of the week at 41.5 and is now 42.5. It's two-way play at this point, with tickets almost dead even and 58% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: ESPNBET opened L.A. as 4.5-point chalk and is now at -4. It's heavy Chargers spread play so far, at 81% of bets/82% of money.

The total opened at 41.5, and that's where it is now. The Over is seeing 54% of bets and a more notable 83% of money.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (10-6 SU/11-5 ATS) secured an AFC Wild Card bid in blowout fashion. The Chargers closed as 6-point favorites at New England and rumbled to a 40-7 victory.

L.A. has won two in a row after a 1-3 SU hiccup, and the Chargers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 outings.

Las Vegas (4-12 SU/7-9 ATS) is on a modest two-game upswing, after dropping 10 in a row SU. The Raiders were 1.5-point favorites at New Orleans and notched a 25-10 victory.

Chargers-Raiders opened at L.A. -3.5 and moved out to -5.5 within 30 minutes. The Chargers are now -5. The total opened at 42.5 and fell to 40.5, with stops at each half-point along the way. It's now at 41.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -3
• Opening moneyline: Rams TBA/Seahawks TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 3:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: This line started moving toward Seattle early in the week, after L.A. coach Sean McVay indicated his starters would rest in Week 18. The Rams opened -2.5 at DraftKings, but by Monday, the line flipped to Seahawks -2.5/-3/-3.5.

Since then, the line continued to climb in Seattle's favor and is now up to -7.5. But spread play is two-way, actually leaning toward L.A., at 57% of bets/51% of money.

The total opened at 43 and made its way down to 37.5 by Friday. It's now at 38.5, with 70% of bets/69% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports opened L.A. -1.5, but this number has since made a seven-point swing. That's because the playoff-bound Rams are letting off the gas in Week 18.

"This is one is one of those games where news means everything to the spread," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "The Seahawks are now up to 5.5-point favorites after [Rams] coach Sean McVay decided to rest starters and potentially lose out on the No. 3 seed in the NFC.

"The Seahawks are officially eliminated, but will more than likely be facing Jimmy Garoppolo at QB, behind some backups on the offensive line."

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (10-6 SU/8-8 ATS) survived a slog against Arizona in Week 17. The Rams held on for a 13-9 victory, failing to cover as 6.5-point home favorites. That ended a 4-0 ATS run.

Still, L.A. is on a five-game SU win streak and is 9-2 SU/7-4 ATS in its last 11 games. More important, with Washington beating Atlanta in overtime Sunday night, that clinched a playoff spot for the Rams as NFC West champs.

Seattle (9-7 SU/6-9-1 ATS) temporarily kept its playoff hopes alive in Week 17, despite a dreadful performance at Chicago. The Seahawks closed as 4.5-point favorites and barely got beyond 4.5 points in total, winning a 6-3 rock fight Thursday night. There was no scoring in the second half.

However, the Commanders' win over the Falcons eliminated Seattle from playoff contention.

The Rams opened -3 in The SuperBook's NFL Week 18 odds, and the line went to -2.5 within a few minutes. The total saw more movement, going from 44.5 to 42.5/41.5 tonight.

Seahawks-Rams was taken off The SuperBook's board while the risk room awaited a result on Falcons-Commanders. Seahawks-Rams will go back up Monday morning, likely at a significantly different number, with L.A. having the division title in hand.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals Odds

• Opening point spread: 49ers -1.5
• Opening moneyline: 49ers -110/Cardinals -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: San Fran opened -1 at DraftKings a week ago, but as it quickly became clear that Brock Purdy (arm) would be out, the line flipped. By Monday night, Arizona was -3, and the Cards to to -5.5 earlier today in the NFL odds Week 18 market.

Arizona is now -4.5, with 54% of spread bets on the 49ers/64% of money on the Cardinals.

The total opened at 47 and also saw significant movement due to Purdy's status. It's now at 42.5, though 60% of bets/84% of dollars are on the Over.

UPDATE 7 P.M. ET THURSDAY: As was the case elsewhere, this line made a big move at ESPNBET due to 49ers QB Brock Purdy's arm injury. Purdy is doubtful to play.

San Fran opened -1, but it's now Arizona -4.5. Still, the Niners are getting 63% of early spread bets/58% of early spread money.

ESPNBet opened the total at 46.5, and it tumbled on the Purdy injury as well. It's now at 42.5 (Over -115), with 87% of bets/94% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11:45 P.M. ET MONDAY: San Fran (6-10 SU/5-11 ATS) led the Week 17 Monday night game vs. Detroit 21-13 at halftime and 28-21 midway through the third quarter. But Brock Purdy threw two INTs from there, and the Niners lost 40-28 as 4-point home underdogs.

In a long season for the defending NFC champs, the 49ers are on slides of 1-6 SU/1-7 ATS. Further, Purdy suffered an apparent arm injury late against Detroit, so his status could be murky.

DraftKings Sportsbook opened 49ers-Cards at San Francisco -1 and was at Niners -1 (-105) prior to the Detroit-San Fran game. But with the Purdy injury, 49ers-Cards reopened tonight at Arizona -3.

San Francisco has gotten 62% of early spread bets at DK, but spread money is almost dead even. However, action could be on the move once there's more clarity on Purdy's status.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: San Francisco (6-9 SU/5-10 ATS) isn't yet out of Week 17 in its disappointing and injury-riddled season. The Niners host Detroit on Monday night.

Arizona (7-9 SU/10-6 ATS) gave the L.A. Rams all they could handle in Week 18. The Cardinals nearly pulled off the upset, with first-and-goal at the 5-yard line in the final minute. But Kyler Murray's pass to Trey McBride deflected off McBride's helmet, and L.A.'s Ahkello Witherspoon intercepted it.

That left the Cards with a 13-9 loss, while covering as 6.5-point road pups. Arizona certainly had a shot in the NFC West, but went 1-5 SU in its last six games.

San Fran opened -1.5 vs. Arizona tonight in The SuperBook's Week 18 NFL odds. The first move was straight to pick 'em within a few minutes.

Completed Games for NFL Week 18

Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys Odds

• Opening point spread: Commanders -4
• Opening moneyline: Commanders -155/Cowboys +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With late-week news that Trey Lance is expected to get significant snaps for Dallas, this line has seen substantial movement. Washington opened -3 in BetMGM's NFL Week 18 odds and spent the first half of the week at -4/-4.5.

But Thursday brought moves to Commanders -5/-5.5/-6, and the line went to -6.5 Friday. Washington is now -7 (-105) while landing 73% of spread bets/79% of spread money in digital wagering (mobile/online) at BetMGM.

"We'll need the Cowboys for sure. The line moved pretty far with the Lance news. It's nothing but Commanders bets," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 45.5, backed up to 44 by Monday and went to 43.5 this morning. Still, the Over is taking 76% of bets/74% of cash.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Commanders are out to -4.5 from a -3 opener in Borgata Sports' NFL odds Week 18 market.

"It’s been mostly Washington money here early," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "The Commanders’ [Wild Card] opponent won’t be known until everything settles on Sunday. But they definitely don’t want to lose this one and fall to the 7 seed, which would make them head to Philly first to play a division foe."

The total is down to 44 from a 45.5 opener.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Washington (11-5 SU/10-5-1 ATS) got all it could handle from Atlanta tonight at home. The Commanders got pulled to overtime, giving up a late TD that tied the game at 24.

But Jayden Daniels then led a touchdown drive for a 30-24 win, as Washington cashed laying 3.5 points.

Dallas (7-9 SU and ATS) got to face a Philly team missing Jalen Hurts (concussion protocol). It hardly mattered. The Cowboys got thumped 40-7 by the combination of backups Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee. That ended a 4-1 SU and ATS upswing for Dallas.

Commanders-Cowboys opened at Washington -4 at The SuperBook. The game was taken off the board once Falcons-Commanders kicked off. Commanders-Cowboys will go back up Monday morning.

New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -175/Giants +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 39 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Philly is laying 2.5 points in ESPNBET's Week 18 NFL odds. The Eagles, resting a host of starters including Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, opened -3.5.

Spread tickets are running 3/1 and spread money just shy of 2/1 on Philadelphia. Moneyline action is much more lopsided toward the Eagles.

The total opened at 36.5 and was at 37.5 earlier this morning. But it's now down to 35.5, with 61% of tickets on the Over/66% of cash on the Under. It will be cold (33 degrees, feels like 22) and breezy today at MetLife Stadium.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: The Eagles are going to rest Saquon Barkley vs. the Giants, and QB Jalen Hurts (concussion protocol) is still questionable. So Philly went from a -4 opener down to -2.5 and now sits at -3 in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 18 market.

Still, spread ticket count is 6/1 and spread money almost 2/1 on Philadelphia. And practically all the early moneyline interest at DK is on the Eagles.

The total opened at 38.5 and is now 37.5, though tickets and money are 3/1-plus on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS) had its 10-game SU run end in Week 16, but rebounded nicely in Week 17. Even without Jalen Hurts, who was in concussion protocol, and with backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) exiting in the third quarter vs. Dallas.

Philly was already up 24-7 when Pickett exited, and the Eagles went on to a 41-7 rout as 7.5-point home favorites.

New York (3-13 SU/5-11 ATS) opted against tanking for a shot at the No. 1 draft pick. The Giants were 7.5-point home underdogs and won a 45-33 shootout vs. Indianapolis. It was New York's first home win all season, in the final home game.

The Giants-Eagles line was on the move early in The SuperBook's Week 18 NFL odds. Philly opened -5 and quickly dipped to -4/-3, then settled at -3.5. The total nudged from 39 to 38.5.

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Odds

• Opening point spread: Falcons -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Falcons -420/Panthers +350
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 11:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta is 8-point chalk in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 18 market. The Falcons opened -7.5 (-115), got to 8.5 Tuesday and briefly touched -9 Saturday afternoon.

By Saturday night, Atlanta backed up to -7.5 (-115) again, before advancing to -8 in just the past few minutes. Carolina is actually taking the bulk of spread play, at 60% of bets/68% of money. And bettors are on Panthers moneyline, as well, at 64% of bets/82% of money.

The total opened at 47.5, got to 48 Tuesday, then 48.5/49 this morning. The Over is landing 66% of bets/68% of cash.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: The Falcons opened -7 in DraftKings' NFL Week 18 odds, then toggled between -7.5/-8 early. Atlanta touched -8.5 a couple times Monday and has been at -8 since Wednesday afternoon.

It's two-way spread play so far, with 53% of bets on the Falcons/55% of money on the Panthers.

The total opened at 47.5 and is up a notch to 48. The Under is getting 53% of bets, while 65% of money is on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta (8-8 SU/7-9 ATS), behind Michael Penix Jr., took Washington to overtime in the Week 17 Sunday night game. But the Falcons then fell short 31-24 as 3.5-point road underdogs.

Atlanta needs to win and get help in Week 18 to reach the playoffs.

Carolina (4-12 SU/7-9 ATS) was on a 6-1 ATS run entering Week 17. Tampa Bay put a halt to that, with the Panthers tumbling 48-14 as 10-point home pups.

The SuperBook opened Panthers-Falcons at Atlanta -7.5 tonight. Within an hour, the Falcons advanced to -8.5, then the game came off the board once Falcons-Commanders kicked off. Panthers-Falcons will go back up Monday morning.

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -13
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers -1200/Saints +750
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 11:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: The Bucs are out -14.5 this morning in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 18 market. Tampa Bay opened -14, had a low of -13 early in the week and hit -15 a couple times, including this morning.

With Tampa looking to clinch the NFC South, spread tickets are running almost 5/1 and spread money beyond 9/1 on the Buccaneers.

"We'll need the Saints to cover pretty bad. We're not writing any tickets on them," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 43.5 and is now 44.5, with 55% of tickets/62% of money on the Over.

UPDATE NOON ET THURSDAY: DraftKings Sportsbook opened the Bucs -13.5 in Week 18 NFL odds. Tampa Bay peaked at -14.5 Monday morning, bottomed out at -13.5 Monday afternoon and have been steady at -13.5 since Monday night.

Early spread tickets and money are both in the 4-1 range on big favorite Buccaneers.

The total opened at 44.5, went to 44 Sunday night and 43.5 Monday morning. Ticket count is 3/1 on the Over, but money is 3/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Tampa Bay (9-7 SU/10-6 ATS) did what was necessary to stay in contention for the NFC South title. The Bucs steamrolled Carolina 48-14 laying 10 points at home, moving to 5-1 SU in their last six games.

New Orleans (5-10 SU and ATS) enters Week 18 on a three-game SU slide in a disappointing season. In Week 17, the Saints lost to Las Vegas 25-10 catching 1.5 points at home.

The SuperBook fully expects Tampa to roll, opening the Bucs -13. Within just a few minutes, that number went to Bucs -13.5/-14 in the NFL odds Week 18 market.

"The Bucs were big Commanders fans tonight," SuperBook vice president John Murray said, noting Washington's win over Atlanta put Tampa Bay in a very good spot for Week 18.

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers Odds

• Opening point spread: Packers -10
• Opening moneyline: Packers -420/Bears +350
• Opening total: Over/Under 43 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Green Bay is -9.5 (-115) this morning at BetMGM, after opening -9 and peaking midweek at -10. Spread tickets are running 2.5/1 and spread money 3/1 on the Packers.

The total opened at 40 and has since toggled a couple times between 40.5/41. It's now 41 (Under -115), with tickets 2/1-plus and money almost 3/1 on the Over.

UPDATE NOON ET THURSDAY: The Packers hit DraftKings' NFL odds Week 18 market as 10.5-point favorites. Green Bay bottomed out at -9 a couple times so far this week and is now -10 on interesting splits.

Jordan Love & Co. are netting 70% of early spread tickets, while 64% of early spread dollars are on the double-digit-'dog Bears.

DK opened the total at 41.5, quickly went to 41 Sunday, then spent Monday/Tuesday at 40.5. The number returned to 41 Wednesday, with 68% of tickets on the Over, but money running dead even.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Green Bay (11-5 SU/9-7 ATS) saw its Week 17 rally at Minnesota come up just short. The Packers trailed 27-10 well into the fourth quarter, then got two touchdowns and one 2-point conversion while pulling within 27-25.

But that's where the score stayed, with the Packers failing to cash as 1-point underdogs. That ended a five-game spread-covering run by Green Bay.

Chicago (5-11 SU/8-7-1 ATS) hasn't won since Tyrique Stevenson mocked Washington fans in the waning seconds of a Week 8 game. Commanders QB Jayden Daniels followed moments later by completing a Hail Mary to beat the Bears 18-15.

Chicago is now on an 10-game SU nosedive (3-6-1 ATS), after starting the season 4-2 SU. In the Week 17 Thursday nighter, the Bears managed only a second-quarter field goal vs. Seattle, losing an eyesore of a game 6-3. But Chicago covered as a 4.5-point home 'dog.

The SuperBook opened Bears-Packers at Green Bay -10 and dipped to -9.5/-9 in fairly short order tonight. The total was a bigger mover in the NFL odds Week 18 market. It tumbled from 43 to 39.5, with multiple stops along the way, before settling at 40.

Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -155/Patriots +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 41.5 points scored

UPDATE 9:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With three-plus hours until kickoff, the Bills are -3.5 (-105) in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Week 18 odds. Buffalo opened -5.5 last Sunday night, and the line dropped to -2.5 within 30 minutes.

That's in part a reaction to the Bills having nothing to play for, locked into the No. 2 seed. Since Sunday, the line mostly toggled between Buffalo -2.5/-3 at various juice, before going to -3.5 Saturday.

Spread tickets and money are approaching 4/1 on Buffalo, and moneyline play is even more lopsided on the Bills.

DK opened the total at 44.5 and plunged to 35.5 by this morning. The Bills are resting some starters, though it appears QB Josh Allen might play some. Also, the weather could be an issue. It'll be 33 degrees at kickoff, but it'll feel like 22, with winds approaching 20 mph.

The Over is getting 69% of bets, while 58% of money is on the Under.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Bills, with the No. 2 seed clinched, opened as modest 2-point road favorites. ESPNBET now has Buffalo at -2.5, with the Bills attracting 83% of early spread bets/75% of early spread money.

The total opened at 41.5 and is all the way down to 37.5 (Over -115). The Over is getting 68% of bets, but 91% of cash is on the Under so far.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS) clinched the AFC's No. 2 seed by winning for the 10th time in the last 11 games. The Bills boat-raced the New York Jets 40-14 giving 10 points at home.

New England (3-13 SU/6-9-1 ATS) takes a six-game losing streak into the final week of the season. The Patriots provided little resistance to the L.A. Chargers in Week 18, getting hammered 40-7 as 6-point home underdogs.

Buffalo has nothing more to play for, so The SuperBook opened the Bills as just 3.5-point road favorites. And Patriots backers jumped on that, as the line moved to Buffalo -1.5 within 10 minutes.

The Bills have since stabilized at -2.5.

Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans Odds

• Opening point spread: Titans -1
• Opening moneyline: Titans -210/Texans +180
• Opening total: Over/Under 36.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Tennessee is at -2.5 (-105) in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 18 market. The Titans opened -2 and stretched to -4.5 Monday morning. But by Monday afternoon, the line dropped all the way to -1.

Tennessee moved to -1.5 Thursday and -2.5 this morning. Houston, likely resting a lot of players today, is seeing 74% of spread tickets/54% of spread money.

The total opened at 36.5, peaked at 38.5 Monday and returned to 36.5 by Friday. The forecast calls for rain and temperatures in the low 40s. Ticket count is 2/1 on the Over, while money is 3/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Titans opened -2.5 in ESPNBET's NFL Week 18 odds and spent time at -2 before going to -1.5 this afternoon. It's all Texans so far, with spread ticket count 5/1 and spread money 4/1-plus so far.

ESPNBET opened the total at 36.5, and it's now 36.5 (Over -115). Tickets are running 2/1 and money 5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Houston (9-7 SU/6-10 ATS) is stumbling into the playoffs, assured of the No. 4 seed because the AFC South isn't good. There's a chance that all three AFC Wild Card teams could have better records than the Texans.

In Week 17, Houston mustered only a second-quarter safety while getting bashed by Baltimore 31-2 as a 6.5-point home underdog.

Tennessee (3-13 SU/2-14 ATS) heads to Week 18 on a five-game SU and ATS purge. In Week 17, the Titans were 1-point favorites at Jacksonville and lost 20-13. Tennessee has the NFL's worst spread-covering record.

The SuperBook doesn't expect Houston to play any key starters in Week 18. Tennessee opened -1, went straight to -3 within a few minutes and got to -5.5 in under 30 minutes. The Titans then stabilized at -4.5 tonight in the NFL odds Week 18 market.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds

• Opening point spread: Colts -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Colts -220/Jaguars +190
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Indy opened -4 and peaked at -5.5 Monday at DraftKings. The Colts then retreated to as low as -3 Saturday and this morning, and they're now at -3.5.

Indianapolis is getting 60% of spread tickets/70% of spread money.

The total opened at 44.5, topped out at 46 Tuesday and hit a low of 43.5 Thursday/Friday. It's now at 44.5 (Over -115), with 56% of tickets on the Under/64% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Colts opened -4.5 and are up to -5 in ESPNBET's NFL odds Week 18 market. Indy is drawing 56% of early spread tickets, but 76% of spread cash is on Jacksonville.

The total opened at 44.5 and is now 43.5 (Over -115), with 56% of tickets on the Under/61% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Indianapolis (7-9 SU/9-7 ATS) was a 7.5-point road fave vs. the New York Giants and needed only a win to keep playoff hopes alive. But the Colts weren't up to the task, losing a shootout 45-33.

Jacksonville halted a 1-8 SU nosedive in Week 17. The Jaguars (4-12 SU/9-7 ATS) were 1-point home 'dogs vs. Tennessee and won 20-13. That ended a 1-7 SU purge for Jacksonville.

Indy opened -4.5, quickly went to -5.5, then moved to -5 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Week 18 odds.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Odds

• Opening point spread: Bengals -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Bengals -155/Steelers +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN/ABC)

UPDATE 7 P.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, the Bengals are -2.5 (-115) in BetMGM's NFL Week 18 odds. On Sunday night, Cincinnati opened -2.5 (-120), and the line went to -3 for a few hours Monday.

However, it was bet down to Cincy -1.5 by midafternoon Monday, then toggled between -1.5/-2 during the week before setting at -2.5 Friday.

All that noted, the public is all over the favorite tonight.

"We're going to want the Steelers and Under in this one. Straight bets, parlays, spread and moneyline, the majority is all on the Bengals," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

The total opened at 47.5 and spent most of the week at either 48 or 48.5. It's now 48.5 as kickoff approaches.

UPDATE 8 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports, a BetMGM property in Atlantic City, opened the Bengals -2.5. Early Steelers money pushed Cincy down to -1.5, and the line is now stable at -2.

Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable noted the game's ramifications, with Cincinnati needing a win and help to get to the playoffs. Pittsburgh has lost three in a row SU and ATS.

"The good news for Pittsburgh is this Cincy defense isn’t on the same level as Philly, Baltimore and K.C., which were quite successful in not only shutting down the Pittsburgh defense, but also turning them over," Gable said.

Pittsburgh has motivation Saturday night, as well.

"If Baltimore wins the early game on Saturday, the Steelers know that a win can secure the No. 5 seed and a playoff game against Houston, which is technically the opponent that every non-division winner would want to see first in the AFC playoffs," Gable said.

The total opened at 47.5 and is up to 48.5. 

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Pittsburgh (10-6 SU and ATS) has at least a Wild Card slot secured, but could still take the AFC North, with a win and some help. In Week 17, the Steelers lost to Kansas City 29-10 catching 2 points at home on Christmas Day.

To win the division, Pittsburgh needs to beat Cincy and have Baltimore lose to visiting Cleveland. The Steelers are on an 0-3 SU and ATS skid.

Cincinnati (8-8 SU/10-6 ATS) was left for dead after falling to 4-8 through a dozen games. But the Bengals, in must-win situations every week, are on a 4-0 SU and ATS surge and still alive.

In Week 17, Cincy was 3.5-point home chalk vs. Denver. The Bengals got dragged to overtime when the Broncos tied it at 24 on a waning-seconds touchdown. But Joe Burrow & Co. got a TD in the final minute of the extra frame to win 30-24.

The SuperBook opened Cincinnati -2.5 and adjusted to -2.5 (-120) within an hour tonight. The total saw a bigger move, going straight from 46.5 to 48 within 15 minutes in Week 18 NFL odds.

"The Bengals need a lot to go right to make the playoffs, because of all the games they gave away early in the season. But they’re a very dangerous team," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "I’m sure the top seeds will be happy to see Cincinnati not get into the field next week."

Indeed, likely no team wants to face Joe Burrow.

Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -16.5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -1800/Browns +1100
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN/ABC)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Two hours before kickoff, the largest point spread of the season is up to Ravens -20 in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 18 market. Baltimore opened -17.5 Sunday night, and pretty much all the movement came Thursday.

The Ravens went to -18 Thursday morning, then to -19.5/-20 Thursday afternoon. The line touched Baltimore -20.5 for a few hours Friday, before returning to -20.

Today's need will come as no surprise.

"We need the Browns for sure. We're taking no bets on them," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 42.5 and bottomed out at 41. It's now 41 (Over -120), and Cipollini said the Under is the need, per usual.

UPDATE 11:30 A.M. ET THURSDAY: DraftKings Sportsbook opened the Ravens a hefty -17.5 and is now at -18. With such a huge spread, the Browns are taking 65% of early tickets/56% of early money.

DK opened the total at 42.5 and spent time at 42 on the way to the current 41.5. The Over is seeing 67% of tickets/60% of money so far.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Baltimore (11-5 SU/9-6-1 ATS) controls its destiny for the AFC North title and likely No. 3 seed. In Week 17, the Ravens flattened Houston 31-2 giving 6.5 points on the road Christmas Day.

Cleveland was dealt its fifth consecutive SU and ATS loss in Week 18. The Browns (3-13 SU/5-11 ATS) managed only a second-quarter field goal in a 20-3 loss as 3-point home 'dogs vs. Miami.

Browns-Ravens opened at Baltimore -16.5 and sped to -17/-18 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 18 market.
