The two teams already eliminated from NFC South contention may ultimately decide the division winner on Sunday. With their development over the 2nd half of the season, #NOvsATL should have your attention 📺

With the start of the new year and the conclusion of the regular season, I decided to create a guide for how to watch week 18 - which games to pay attention to, playoff implications, and score predictions! 📺

How to watch NFL week 18 of 2025:
The final week of the 2025/26 regular season is upon us, and there’s a lot to still be decided as we think ahead to the NFL playoffs. Instead of previewing one of these games in detail, I decided t…

I'm not even sure if another person watched the #IndependenceBowl that just ended, but I don't know if I've ever seen two teams mindlessly hand the ball to each other in absurd ways like Coastal Carolina and Louisiana Tech just did. A truly insane, catastrophic back-and-forth affair 😂

I would like to dedicate the fantasy championships in BOTH my leagues that I‘ve been part of for nearly 15 years each to the trio of JSN, CMC & Drake “Drake Maye” Maye, for carrying most of the load! 🏆🥹

Congrats to all my fellow champs! 🙌🏼

The Falcons have now held the top 3 MVP candidates in Matt Stafford, Drake Maye & Josh Allen to the same amount of touchdowns as picks (6). Yet, they gave up 30+ points to the Dolphins, Colts, Seahawks & Panthers - twice.

What a weird, confounding team. Lol

Kinda weird set-up for #RamsHouse, who’d earn the #5 seed + a trip to the lowly NFC South champ by winning out, but have chosen rest > seeding in the past.

One #MNF bet:
B. Corum (LAR) 45+ rush yds (-110)

And I just need Puka to not go nuclear to win my two main fantasy leagues ☢️😅

Never wrong, just early 😎

Not a whole lot of great competition, but my clear #QB1 throughout the #2022NFLDraft process!

Placed this on December 10th at 101-to-1. Should I could cash out for nearly half the potential winnings? 😅

My thoughts process - basically tied with T-Mac in odds, who could help the Panthers win the division with a big performance Saturday, #Saints kind of buried on the Sunday slate 🤔

The Raiders legitimately found a way to embarrass themselves in the toilet, losing by 24 to a previously equally two-win #NYGiants team. Truly hard to watch and I feel bad for whichever QB they probably add to this mess with the #1 overall pick! 😬☠️

Placed yesterday just before Ravens-Packers. Never stopped believing this was going to come down to Baltimore and Pittsburgh battling it out for an underwhelming AFC North! 😅

The Ravens & Texans are really just chilling at home, probably still snacking on Christmas leftovers, and rooting on one of their division rivals up 10-0 as underdogs with a chance to open up the door for a home playoff game. Lol

I've watched nearly every game Henry has played since coming to Alabama - that was a top 5 career performance. Which is saying something considering he won a Heisman + national title, & now has been averaging over 100 rushing yards over the last 7 years! 😳

Derrick Henry went OFF with the Ravens' season on the line 🔥

◽️ 36 carries (career-high)
◽️ 216 rush yards
◽️ 4 rush TDs (ties career-high)

He has the most 200+ yard rushing games in NFL history (7), passing Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson.

Some people will really say that Herbert didn‘t come through bc he “only scored 16 points” as if he didn‘t throw darts with Texans defenders wrapped around his legs routinely. Lol

Dicker missing a FG & PAT in a 4-point loss coming in 69/71 on all kicks is also rough!

Too much uncertainty about who‘s actually playing in bowl games, but I do like one bet in the NFL:

Texans ML & U47.5 (+190)

For as good as Sam Darnold has been for most of this season, the #Panthers run the type of post-snap coverage rotation-heavy D that could fool him a couple of time on Sunday! 👀

Addison taking that jet sweep and suddenly going the distance with the defense out-leveraged on his first touch was an all-time moment! 😅💰

J. McNichols (WAS) 2+ catches (-105) ✅
J. Addison (MIN) any TD (+290) ✅
DEN -20.5 vs KC (+210) ❌

They told me I was crazy! 🫨

Even understanding Jayden rarely being available, you saw the age and overall construction issues with Washington’s roster. And so was Detroit’s turnover at both coordinator spots and the interior O-line, as I expected.

The Raiders are placing star TE Brock Bowers on injured reserve today.

In anticipation of the battle for No. 1 with the Giants this Sunday.
