Overview
- SportsLine’s model simulated every Week 18 game 10,000 times and, in an updated Sunday post, listed Green Bay +10.5 at Minnesota as a strong cover, projecting the Packers to beat the spread well over 60% of the time.
- That model also favors Tennessee -13.5 versus Jacksonville to cover despite projecting a Jaguars win by double digits in many simulations, citing recent Titans competitiveness and improving form.
- Earlier guidance from the same model backed Philadelphia -4 over Washington, projecting the Eagles to win by double digits and cover in more than 60% of simulations even with some starters expected to rest.
- SportsLine is marketing a five-leg Week 18 parlay advertised at better than 25-1 and reiterates historical claims of being up well over $7,000 for $100 bettors with a 53-37 run on top-rated picks.
- Independent handicappers highlighted underdog angles, recommending 49ers +1.5, Titans +13, and Giants +5.5 and pointing to motivation factors such as interim coach Mike McCoy’s stated intent to push Tennessee.
