NFL Office Pool Picks Week 18 - ATS Predictions for Every Game!
The final week of the NFL regular season is here, and this can be one of the most profitable weeks of the entire season. With different incentives available, a deep dive into each matchup can allow us to come out on top. A season-long office pool is always difficult to come out on top, but with Doc’s Sports' weekly against-the-spread picks, you should be near the top of your standings. Without further ado, let’s get into the final picks of the season.
Doc’s Sports offers NFL expert picks for every game on our NFL predictions page.
Carolina Panthers (+3) Over Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are worthy home favorites in this winner-take-all NFC South matchup, but a full field goal spread makes the Panthers the play. These are two conservative teams that will look to win the field position battle, and I can’t imagine either side jumping out to a big lead. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Panthers pull off this upset, but either way, the points are the way to go. Panthers 20, Buccaneers 17
San Francisco 49ers (+1.5) Over Seattle Seahawks
The 49ers are the play in the home underdog role. This is a massive game with the No. 1 seed on the line in the NFC, and we can’t overlook the value on San Francisco. Both sides are riding six-game win streaks, making this line a little confusing to unpack. This couldn’t be a more even matchup, but with the venue in Southern California, the 49ers 4th ranked passing offense will come out on top Saturday night. 49ers 31, Seahawks 28
Atlanta Falcons (-3) Over New Orleans Saints
This could be a big game that decides the winner of the NFC South. However, it won’t affect either of these franchises, as they are both eliminated from the playoffs and are just looking to build momentum heading into next season. Atlanta proved their defense is a legitimate force when healthy after they shut down the Rams last week, and Tyler Shough’s promising start will come to a screeching halt. Falcons’ fans will be left thinking ‘what if’ as Atlanta closes the season on a four-game win streak. Falcons 24, Saints 11
Cleveland Browns (+7.5) Over Cincinnati Bengals
If there was ever a time for Myles Garrett to make an impact, a struggling Bengals offensive line against Joe Burrow is the time. The Browns have looked rejuvenated since Shedeur Sanders took over, and I am not buying into the Bengals big win over the lowly Cardinals last week. With the spread over a touchdown, the Browns defense will be able to keep this one close enough for the cover. Bengals 17, Browns 13
Green Bay Packers (+7) Over Minnesota Vikings
The Packers don’t have much to play for, but they will still want to build some momentum with the playoffs looming next week. Minnesota’s offense is too inconsistent to lay this kind of point spread, making the Packers the only viable choice. The quarterback situation is murky, but with this kind of spread, even a pull-and-play veteran will get the Packers the cover. Vikings 14, Packers 10
Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) Over New York Giants
The Cowboys are the better team on both sides of the ball, and don’t let the Giants win over Las Vegas distract you from their issues. The Cowboys will load up the tackle box to slow down the run, and force Jaxson Dart into difficult throws down the field. This Dallas offense may be deflated, bit their talent will prevail against their NFC East rival. Cowboys 28, Giants 16
Houston Texans (-10) Over Indianapolis Colts
The Colts will be starting Riley Leonard at quarterback in their season finale. While he may be better than Philip Rivers, Leonard being in there will tempt the Colts into passing the football against this hungry Texans defense. Leonard will be under pressure every time he drops back, and one defensive score for Houston will allow them to pull away on the scoreboard. Texans 31, Colts 17
Jacksonville Jaguars (-12.5) Over Tennessee Titans
How can you fade the Jaguars right now? Trevor Lawrence is finally playing up to his potential, their defense is firing on all cylinders, and they can clinch the AFC South with a win. Tennessee has shown signs of life in the final month of the season, but they will be completely outclassed against a motivated Jaguars side. Jaguars 40, Titans 16
Las Vegas Raiders (+5.5) Over Kansas City Chiefs
What an ugly matchup. The Raiders are in pole position to select first overall next season, and a defeat here would secure them that spot. While some obvious tanking against the Giants last week resulted in a blowout, I am expecting a much closer loss here. It is not as if the Chiefs are piling on the points themselves, as this could be an instance where neither team finds the endzone. Chiefs 9, Raiders 6
Chicago Bears (-3) Over Detroit Lions
The Bears have already won the NFC North thanks to the Packers' late-season collapse. While this game only matters for seeding, Chicago will still want to get back on track after their heartbreaking loss last week. It is not as if the Lions will be able to rise to the occasion after being eliminated from the playoffs, and we may see some rotation from Detroit in the second half. One of these teams is heading to the playoffs, while the other is booking tickets to Cancun. With a short spread at home, the Bears are the way to go. Bears 27, Lions 17
Denver Broncos (-11.5) Over Los Angeles Chargers
The Broncos haven’t won by double digits since October, but are one win away from securing the bye in the AFC. While this is a thick line, the Chargers' inability to move the football will allow Denver to pull away. There are worse backups than Trey Lance, but there aren’t any worse offensive lines in the league. The Broncos' pass rush is the best in the league, as this is an absolute nightmare situation for Lance to walk into. Not only will the Broncos win, but they will shut the Chargers out. Broncos 20, Chargers 0
New England Patriots (-10.5) Over Miami Dolphins
The Patriots need to win to keep their hopes of the top seed alive in the AFC. While the chances are slim the Broncos will lose, the Pats will still want to avoid taking their foot off the gas in the regular season finale. Drake Maye is one big game away from winning the MVP, and a helpless Miami defense is the perfect victim. When the Patriots offense puts up 30+, the Dolphins will be unable to keep up. Patriots 35, Dolphins 12
Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5) Over Washington Commanders
The Eagles are resting several starters this week, but even their backups are better than Washington’s starters. Josh Johnson is an absolute disaster for the Commanders; the Washington defense has completely fallen apart, and even the motivated Eagles backups will win this one handily. No team in the NFL had a worse season than Washington, as they look to put the 2025 campaign in the past as quickly as possible. Eagles 20, Commanders 13
Los Angeles Rams (-7.5) Over Arizona Cardinals
The Rams don’t have much to play for, but the Cardinals have been blown out week after week. They have lost eight in a row, with five of those defeats coming by 17+ points. Los Angeles may elect to rest some players, but even still, this line should be wider for a Rams home game. They are Super Bowl favorites for a reason, as excellent depth on both sides of the ball will allow them to pull away and end the season off with a victory. Rams 29, Cardinals 10
Buffalo Bills (-7.5) Over New York Jets
The Bills will want to make sure they finish 5th or 6th in the AFC, and a big win over the Jets will secure them that spot. New York has had little to cheer for after their short mid-season resurgence, as they are back to tanking for a draft pick. Both teams want the Bills to win, and Josh Allen will have no problem padding his stats to give the Bills a big first-half lead. Bills 28, Jets 7
Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) Over Pittsburgh Steelers
The Ravens and Steelers face off in the marquee matchup of the week. The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser goes home. Baltimore just smashed the Packers with Tyler Huntley under center, as they have figured out that running the ball with Derrick Henry is actually a good idea. Pittsburgh’s advantages in the trenches will not be enough to overcome an aging Aaron Rodgers with a very limited ceiling. Even if Lamar Jackson doesn’t play, although he should, the Ravens are equipped to make it look easy in Pittsburgh. Ravens 38, Steelers 20
Season Record: 123-133-2
