The regular season ends with Week 18 NFL odds on the board.
With most games finished or underway, the Vikings and Lions put a bow on the season in Sunday Night Football... with the NFC North (and the No. 1 seed in the conference) on the line.
Here are the NFL Week 18 odds.
Browns vs Ravens odds (Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC)
Opening line
- Ravens -18
- Over/Under 42.5
- View full Browns vs. Ravens odds and matchup
- Read our Browns vs. Ravens picks and predictions
The Week 18 scenario is simple for the Ravens: beat the Browns on Saturday afternoon, and they win the AFC North. Baltimore will be at full strength as they push for the regular season division crown, while it's unknown who will be on the field for the struggling Browns. Sportsbooks opened the Ravens as massive 18-point home favorites (now 20.5!) with a total of 42.5 (now 41.5).
Bengals vs Steelers odds (Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC)
Opening line
- Bengals -3
- Over/Under 48.5
- View full Bengals vs. Steelers odds and matchup
- Read our Bengals vs. Steelers picks and predictions
Both teams have something on the line Saturday night as the Steelers host the Bengals in Pittsburgh. If the Browns beat the Ravens in the early game, a win by the Steelers would give them the AFC North regular season title.
Meanwhile, the Bengals need to win and hope the Broncos and Dolphins both lose Sunday to punch their improbable ticket to the playoffs. Books penciled Cincinnati in as 3-point road favorites with a total of 48.5, but the spread shifted to Bengals -1.5 as of Wednesday afternoon before returning to -2 by Friday.

Opening line
- Eagles -3.5
- Over/Under 38.5
- View full Giants vs. Eagles odds and matchup
- Read our Giants vs. Eagles picks and predictions
Despite the possible scenario of the Eagles resting players, books still labeled the Giants as 3.5-point underdogs. That opener has dropped a point, down to Philadelphia -2.5 with the Eagles resting most of their key pieces but still a stronger side than whatever the Giants march out in the finale. The total opened as high as 38.5 and is down to 36.5 points on Sunday morning.
Commanders vs Cowboys odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX)
Opening line
- Cowboys +3
- Over/Under 45.5
- View full Commanders vs. Cowboys odds and matchup
- Read our Commanders vs. Cowboys picks and predictions
Lookahead lines in the summer had the Cowboys as 5.5-point favorites, but it's the 11-5 Commanders (-4.5) who were faves when the line reopened. The Commanders opened -3.5 and have been up to as high as -7, with Washington still pushing to improve their seeding in the NFC standings. The total has dropped from 45.5 O/U to as low as 44 points.
Bills vs Patriots odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS)
Opening line
- Patriots +2.5
- Over/Under 41
- View full Bills vs. Patriots odds and matchup
- Read our Bills vs. Patriots picks and predictions
Just two weeks removed from their 24-21 win over New England, the Bills opened up as 2.5-point faves for the rematch. Buffalo has climbed to -3.5, even though the starters will play no to limited action in the finale. The Patriots have QB Drake Maye listed as questionable for this final game and the team has said it intends to play to win despite the No. 1 pick in the draft on deck if New England should lose. This total opened at 39.5 points and is down to 36.5 O/U.
Bears vs Packers odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX)
Opening line
- Packers -9.5
- Over/Under 40
- View full Bears vs. Packers odds and matchup
- Read our Bears vs. Packers picks and predictions
The Packers opened as 9.5-point favorites and made brief jumps to as high as -10.5 before coming back to the original spread. Some books are dealing Green Bay as a 10-point chalk on Sunday morning. This total opened at 40.5 and is up to 41.5 points.

Panthers vs Falcons odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS)
Opening line
- Falcons -7.5
- Over/Under 47.5
- View full Panthers vs. Falcons odds and matchup
- Read our Panthers vs. Falcons picks and predictions
The Falcons no longer control their own destiny in the NFC South following their loss on SNF in Week 17. They'll need to beat the pathetic Panthers as big favorites and hope the Buccaneers blow it vs. the Saints as gigantic home favorites in Week 18 to clinch the division. Otherwise, they'll be watching the Wild Card weekend from the couch. The Falcons opened as 7.5-point favorites and have gone as high as -8.5 with the market settling back on that original number. As of Sunday morning, some shops are dealing Atlanta as high as a 8-point favorite. The total opened at 48 and is up to 48.5 points.

The Buccaneers are giving two full touchdowns vs. the suffering Saints this week, with the opening total at a relatively low 43.5. Tampa's path to the playoffs is as simple as "win and you're in." The Bucs are as big as -14.5 with the total up to 45.5 points.
Jaguars vs Colts odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX)
Opening line

The Colts crapped the bed vs. the god-awful Giants in Week 17, spoiling what slim chance they had to qualify for the postseason. They opened spotting the Jaguars 5.5 points on the opening line, with the total listed at 45. With QB Anthony Richardson ruled out, that spread has slipped to Colts -3.5 with the total down to 44.5 points.
Texans vs Titans odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS)
Opening line
- Titans -4
- Over/Under 36.5
- View full Texans vs. Titans odds and matchup
- Read our Texans vs. Titans picks and predictions
With Houston locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC, bookies opened the Titans as 4-point home favorites. However, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has mentioned playing his starters in hopes of getting the team right before the postseason. That slimmed this line to Tennessee -1.5. The Titans have a lot on the line as well. A loss in Week 18 secures a Top 2 pick in the draft while a win could see them slide as far back as No. 7 on the board. This total opened at 36.5 and got as high as 38.5 before coming back down. Rains is expected in Nashville this afternoon.
Dolphins vs Jets odds (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX)
Opening line
- Jets -3
- Over/Under 40.5
- View full Dolphins vs. Jets odds and matchup
- Read our Dolphins vs. Jets picks and predictions
The Dolphins can sneak into the postseason with a win vs. the lowly Jets and a Denver loss to Kansas City. While the latter seems unlikely (Patrick Mahomes will not play), the Dolphins opened as a 3-point dog with Tyler Huntley possibly under center once again. Action against the Jets has slimmed this spread to as short as New York -1. The total opened at 40.5 points and sits at 38.5 O/U on game day.
Seahawks vs Rams odds (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX)
Opening line
- Rams +3
- Over/Under 40.5

- Read our Seahawks vs. Rams picks and predictions
This NFC West finale has some of the biggest movement of Week 18. The Rams opened as 3-point home underdogs, having already locked up a playoff spot. Rather than fight for the No. 3 seed, L.A. will likely sit its starters and that has pushed this spread out to as far as Seattle -7.5. The Over/Under opened at 40.5 and is down to 38.5 points.
49ers vs Cardinals odds (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX)

After San Francisco loss on Monday and Brock Purdy’s injury, books officially opened Arizona as a 2.5-point home favorite for this meaningless finale. Money has come in on the Cardinals, pushing this spread to as high as -4.5 on game day. The total hit the board at 44.5 and is down to 43.5 O/U.
Chargers vs Raiders odds (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS)
Opening line
- Raiders +5.5
- Over/Under 40.5
- View full Chargers vs. Raiders odds and matchup
- Read our Chargers vs. Raiders picks and predictions
The Chargers opened as 5.5-point road chalk at Las Vegas and with the Steelers losing on Saturday, the Bolts have a shot to jump up the AFC standings and win the No. 5 seed. That motivation has spiked this spread to Los Angeles -7 at some books on Sunday morning. The total has also climbed from 40.5 to 42.5 O/U.
Chiefs vs Broncos odds (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS)
Opening line
- Broncos -9.5
- Over/Under 40.5

The Denver Broncos need a win to clinch a playoff spot, and will likely do so against a Chiefs side resting Patrick Mahomes and other starters. Because of that, the Broncos have gone from +4 on the look-ahead line to an -9.5 opening spread. Denver is now up to -11 with the total at 40.5 points.
Vikings vs Lions odds (Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC)

This is the type of Week 18 scenario that Roger Goodell and the NFL drools over: big stakes and nothing that can derail the scenario in the earlier games. The winner of this Sunday Night Football clash between the Vikings and Lions will win the NFC North, claim the top spot in the NFC playoffs, and earn a first-round bye. Sportsbooks opened the Lions as 3-point home favorites with a total of 53.5. That spread is down to -2.5 at some books and the total is up to 56.5 O/U - the tallest total of the 2024 season.
