2023 NFL Week 18 Best Bets
Texans at Colts
This is a de facto playoff game where the winner of this game will clinch a playoff berth. This game feels like it will be on CJ Stroud to determine the outcome. I love what I’ve seen from him this season and there is no way I’m picking against him in a do-or-die scenario.
I’ll take the Texans on the money line to clinch a playoff berth and defeat a Gardner Minshew-led Colts squad.
Texans ML (-105) 2 Units
Bucs at Panthers
This is my upset of the weekend. The Panthers have been atrocious this season and the Bucs have been a lot better this season. However, I have questions regarding the health Baker Mayfield. The Panthers are all trying to do what they can do show they are not as bad as their record.
I think the Panthers shock the Bucs here to get their second win. Bryce Young outplays Baker and the Panthers steal this one. I love this upset pick.
Panthers ML (+285) 2 Units
Jets at Pats
The last game of the Bill Belichick era is against the team he hates the most. I don’t see this Pats team losing to the lowly Jets as the last game of the Belichick era. He will have that team coached up to make the most of their opportunities as they win an ugly low-scoring affair.
The Jets are bad offensively and I don’t imagine they have much motivation in this game. I’ll take the Pats in this one.
Pats ML (+100) 2 Units
Bills at Dolphins
This is the game the Dolphins and Tua have been waiting for. They win this game and they win the AFC East and host a playoff game for the first time in 15 years! Everything is set up for them to win this game. I think the Bills have been flying to close to the edge, winning close game after close game.
It does feel like there is going to be a game they lose in which they shouldn’t. I like the Dolphins to force Allen into some turnovers and win this game.
Dolphins +3 (+100) 2 Units
