The regular season comes to an end with Week 18 NFL odds on the board. It's a grand finale, starting with an AFC North doubleheader — with the Ravens and Steelers both still battling for the division — on Saturday.
Sunday features mostly formalities, with the NFC South title still up for grabs and the Broncos/Chiefs deciding the playoff fate of potentially four teams, but the regular season ends with a bang as the Vikings and Lions clash... with the NFC North (and the No. 1 seed in the conference) on the line.
Browns vs Ravens odds (Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC)

- Read our Browns vs. Ravens picks and predictions (coming soon)
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 -17.5) 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 (coming soon)
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 in order 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 has already shifted to Bengals -1.5 as of Wednesday afternoon.

- View full Giants vs. Eagles odds and matchup
- Read our Giants vs. Eagles picks and predictions (coming soon)
Despite the possible scenario of the Eagles resting players, books still labeled the Giants as 3.5-point underdogs. Week 17's scoring outburst wasn't enough to sway more points in this game, with the total opening at 38.5. Keep an eye on Jalen Hurts' status.

- Read our Panthers vs. Falcons picks and predictions (coming soon)
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 8.5-point 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 opening total for this game is a lofty 47.5.

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 spot the Jaguars 5.5 points on the opening line, with the total listed at 45 for a game where only pride will be on the line.

- Read our Texans vs. Titans picks and predictions (coming soon)
The Texans are locked in as the No. 4 seed in the AFC, meaning they could rest their starters in Week 18, hence why they opened as 4-point dogs to a terrible Titans team. It also explains the rock-bottom initial total of 36.5. Keep an eye out for major line movement throughout the week as Houston's personnel decisions come into focus.
