Regular season ends on Sunday with playoff implications everywhere for Week 18
The NFC playoff picture is clearer than the AFC playoff picture, but there are still several games that decide seeding and division titles in Week 18. You’ll want to stay up on the latest player news this week, as we had tons of key injuries in Week 17. Some teams will also be sitting players to prepare for the postseason or focusing more on draft position.
The Bills vs. Bengals game to finish Week 17 is important tonight, as it has No. 1 seed implications for both teams and Cincinnati can also win the AFC North (see our MNF best bets). We’ll update again after Monday Night Football, but let’s look at what we do know as of now.
Here are the playoff scenarios and some thoughts on those Week 18 NFL games:
Division Champions
The winner will be the No. 4 seed and the AFC South Champion. The loser will go home and reflect on what could have been. The Jaguars are absolutely on fire right now and the Titans are the polar opposite, so even though this game is for the division title, we still see Jacksonville lined as a very heavy favorite.
