NFL 2022 – Week 18 Picks

January 7, 2023 by mvphelps Leave a Comment

After a scary, scary scene in Cincinnati on Monday night, NFL is set to turn the page and finish out the regular season this weekend. Good hear that Damar Hamlin is on the road to recovery, but its just the beginning for that guy. Hope the NFL takes care of him over the long term.

Feature matchup this weekend will be the Sunday Night Game at Lambeau to decide the last playoff spot in the NFC. For the Packers, its win and your win. For Detroit and Seattle, they both need to win and get some help. Hard to believe Rodgers and the Packers have a shot at the playoffs, but here we are.

Like always, the picks are in bold below. Hard to handicap the last week of the season with lots of guys sitting or likely to start but will sit for a big chunk of the game. Let’s get after it!

KC@LV +9.0
TEN@JAX -6.5
TB@ATL -4.0
NE@BUF -7.0
MIN@CHI +6.0
BAL@CIN -9.0

NYG@PHI -14.0

ARZ@SF -14.0

Here we are. Almost at the end of this miserable season. Been a tough second half of the season, but we still have two weeks to make our season record a little bit more respectable. Best game of the weekend is going to the Bills Bengals match up on Monday night. About time ESPN gets a chance to have their expensive broadcast duo call an exciting game. For the most part, primetime games have been both hard to watch and pick winners this year.

The picks are in bold below.

ARZ@ATL -6.0
CHI@DET -5.5
JAX@HOU +3.0
DEN@KC -12.5
MIA@NE -3.0
IND@NYG -5.5
NO@PHI -5.0
CAR@TB -3.5
CLE@WAS -2.5
SF@LV +9.5
NYJ@SEA +1.5
MIN@GB -3.0
LAR@LAC -6.5
PIT@BAL -2.0
BUF@CIN +1.5

Week 16 Record: 5-11

Season Record: 103-131-5

Thursday Night – DAL@TEN

The line has moved all the way to DAL -14 today. This line makes me nervous. Dallas struggled to beat the Texans three weeks ago, lost a big lead to the Jags the following week, and snuck by the Eagles last week with Jalen Hurts on the sidelines. Once the strength of the Cowboys, the defense has been dreadful for the second half of the season.

With that being said, the Titans are trotting out a new QB that was signed of the Lions practice squad eight days ago and it doesn’t look like King Henry will be available on a short week. Titans will also be down several starters on the other side of the ball and looked primed to be shredded by the Dak and the boys.

Reluctantly taking the Cowboys -14.

Thursday Night Record: 5-13

Thursday Night JAX@NYJ

A little late, but we took the Jags to beat up the Jets at the Meadowlands on Thursday night. Jax+2.5 was the pick!

What does Las Vegas know to make the Lions a two-point favourite at home against the 10-2 Minnesota Vikings? We got burned on something similar a few weeks back when the Cowboys and Vikings locked horns. Going to side with Vegas and take the Lions!
