Because he has the Bengals beating the Steelers -- and thus the AFC No. 5 seed being in play for the Chargers at kickoff -- Simms likes Los Angeles to beat Las Vegas in Week 18, by the exact same score as Florio thinks.

We officially enter the final week of the 2024 NFL regular season. Just like the first game of this season, the Raiders prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers. Abdullah left in the third quarter last Sunday with a foot injury. He had put up the best game of his career, and first ever 100-yard rushing performance.

It was not a great week for the underdog in Week 17 in the NFL. Only 4 underdogs -- the Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants and Jacksonvile Jaguars -- covered the spread and only the Giants and Jaguars won their games outright.

A win puts the Ravens on top of the AFC North and the No. 3 seed in the conference, and the biggest question for Mike Florio and Chris Simms is Baltimore's margin of victory against the Browns in Week 18.

The Tennessee Titans have achieved true betting infamy this NFL season. At 2-14 against the spread, the Titans currently have the worst against the spread record of any team in the Super Bowl era (the last 59 years) according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Mike Florio and Chris Simms explain why the Texans need to come out against the Titans and prove to themselves that they don't belong at the bottom of the division.

Betting in Week 18 is often a minefield, because playoff teams locked into position are resting key players (which explains the Denver Broncos being double-digit favorites over the Kansas City Chiefs).

Full NFL predictions for every Week 18 game with picks straight-up and ATS for every game with the Vikings-Lions showdown on SNF deciding so much for the playoffs, the Bengals, Broncos and Dolphins vying for a wild card spot and much more.
