NFL Week 18 opening odds, spread and total for each game (Lions and Vikings battle for No. 1 seed in NFC)

We’ve finally reached the final week of the 2024 NFL season.

Week 18 is always a bit strange in the NFL. Many teams have already been eliminated from the playoffs and there are also several playoff teams that are already tied to their postseason seeding, leading to many “meaningless” games.

With that in mind, there are also some crucial games coming up, including an NFC North battle between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings that will not only decide the division, but the winner will also be the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The NFC South has yet to be decided. If the Falcons beat the Commanders on Sunday Night Football in Week 17, they can win the division with a win in Week 18 against the Panthers. If they lose, the Buccaneers will clinch the NFC South crown with a win against the Saints.

If the Commanders lose to the Falcons on Sunday night, they will have to beat the Cowboys in Week 18 to secure a wild card spot. If they go 0-2 in their last two games, that opens the door for the Buccaneers or Seahawks to enter via wild card.

The AFC North is another division still up for grabs. If the Ravens beat the Browns or the Steelers lose to the Bengals in Week 18, Baltimore will be division champions again. If both the Ravens lose and the Steelers win, Pittsburgh will win the division and host a playoff game.

There is still a lot of drama around seventh place in the AFC. The Broncos need to beat the Chiefs in the final week to secure a spot. If they lose, the Dolphins can win with a win against the Jets. If both the Broncos and Dolphins lose, the Bengals can get in with a win against the Steelers. If all three teams lose, Denver will return to the final playoff spot.

The Week 18 schedule will be released on Tuesday morning after the official conclusion of Week 17. So while we don’t have a schedule yet, we do have the opening odds for each game.

Let’s take a look.
