Overview
- Baltimore at Pittsburgh on Sunday night is a true win-or-go-home game for the AFC North, with the Ravens around -3.5 on the road and the Steelers dealing with Darnell Washington’s broken hand and DK Metcalf’s absence.
- Seattle visits San Francisco on Saturday with the NFC West title and the conference’s No. 1 seed on the line, the Seahawks opening as slight favorites (-1.5) while the 49ers clinch the division in the event of a tie.
- Denver can secure the AFC’s top seed, bye and home field by beating the Chargers, with BetMGM moving the line from -7.5 to as high as -12.5 after Los Angeles announced Justin Herbert will rest.
- The NFC South spot hinges on Panthers-Buccaneers: Carolina clinches with a win, while Tampa Bay must win Saturday and then see Atlanta lose to New Orleans on Sunday.
- Eliminated from the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the Rams can finish only No. 5 or No. 6, and Sean McVay says Matthew Stafford and the starters will play against the Cardinals to pursue the better seed.
