Top Week 18 NFL Predictions
One of Model’s strongest Week 18 NFL picks is the Seahawks (-6.5) covering the spread at home against the Rams at kickoff Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET . Seattle can’t control its destiny to qualify for the postseason, but it has to win if it wants to make the playoffs. Los Angeles, on the other hand, haven’t had much of an opportunity to play, and last week’s 10th loss set an NFL record for most losses by a reigning Super Bowl champion.
A major component of the Rams’ struggle has been play away from the SoFi stadium as the team is 1-5-1 against the spread on the road. This is his worst performance in the league, with his last three road games all losing in double digits. Lacking an offensive arsenal, the Rams sank to the 31st all-out offense in the league, with the team failing to crack 17 points in three of Baker Mayfield’s four games in LA.
In this model, Mayfield tosses as many interceptions as he has touchdown passes, but that’s not a winning formula. Seattle (-6.5) is projected to cover more than 50% of the time. The model also shows an over (41.5) hit well over his 50% of the simulations. Find out which other teams to choose from here.
Top Week 18 NFL Survivor Picks
Model’s Week 18 NFL Knockouts pool pick tells him to avoid the Buccaneers despite beating their Week 18 opponent Atlanta five times in a row. Tampa wrapped up his NFC South last Sunday, securing the No. 4 seed in the conference. With no move up or down, there is no incentive for teams to play their best players and risk injury for much of Sunday’s game.
Atlanta isn’t in the playoff race, but would love to see a rookie trio of quarterback Desmond Ridder, running back Tyler Allgaier, and receiver Drake London. Ridder earned his first NFL win in Week 17, but the third-rounder is still looking for his pass for the first touchdown. Facing Tampa’s backup could provide the perfect setting for that to happen, and the model takes into account the Buccaneers’ lack of incentives on Sunday, hence his NFL run for Week 18. Survivor Pool is his pick, looking for locations outside of Tampa. See which team to pick here.
Top Week 18 NFL Office Pool Picks
One of the strongest Week 18 NFL football pool picks from Models was the 49ers defeating the Cardinals. San Francisco is the hottest team in the league, with his 9th straight win including his 4th in the final centering on his Purdy block. San Fran has performed brilliantly on both sides of the ball during this streak as he has played 6 games with 30+ points and his 7 contests where he has kept opponents below 17 points. and won.
The Niners could still clinch the NFC’s No. 1 seed if the Eagles not only lost to the Giants, but even won. So unlike Arizona, there is still something at work in Week 18 for the 49ers. In the last four games for the Cardinals, he has started four different quarterbacks, each with the same loss. Starting in Arizona in Week 18, the team will face an uphill battle against the league’s No. 1 defense. In this model, San Francisco has his double-digit wins, and he wins straight in nearly 80% of the simulations. Find out which other teams to choose from here.
