Sunday Slate: NFL ATS Picks for Week 18

Week 18. What a journey it has been. The 2x defending Super Bowl Champion Chiefs are 15-1 after not scoring more than 30 points all season – wait, what? The NFC North quickly defined itself as the best division in football … while the No. 1 overall pick not only struggled, but saw how dysfunctional Chicago truly is. Joe Burrow is putting up video game numbers in Cincinnati, yet the Bengals need a miracle to make the postseason. He is, however, making some noise in the MVP race with Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, both of whom are showing yet again why they are part of the class of the AFC. Saquon Barkley is making John Mara and Joe Schoen look like even bigger clowns in the scenes from HBO’s Hard Knocks: Offseason. And the New England Patriots control their own destiny for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft – lose and they’re on the clock. Let’s get to some picks:
