5. Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Joe Burrow against the man he’s so often compared to in Tom Brady. TheBengals are playing some of the league’s best ball at the moment, sitting at 9-4 and tied atop the AFC North with the Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have been a mess all season, but are being bailed out by the horrific NFC South. For Cincinnati, this is an opportunity to continue challenging Baltimore for the divisional crown. Meanwhile, the Bucs are trying to put away the hard-charging Carolina Panthers.

4. Tennessee Titans at Los Angeles Chargers (-3)
The Chargers are finally getting themselves on the right track it seems, having beaten the Miami Dolphins last Sunday night. Now, they stay in SoFi Stadium for a date with the Titans, who have been blown out in each of their last two games. Tennessee is two games ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South, but they play again Week 18 and the Jags have the tiebreaker. For the Chargers, this is about survival in the wild card race, currently at 7-6 and outside the picture.
3. Detroit Lions (-1) at New York Jets
No game means more this week for the two teams involved, save perhaps for the next tilt on the list. The Jets are Lions are both on the outside looking in for their respective conference playoff pictures. New York is 7-6 after losing to the Buffalo Bills while the Lions, who have won five of their last six, are 6-7. The big question is whether Detroit’s porous defense can handle the return of quarterback Zach Wilson.

2. New York Giants at Washington Commanders (-5)
Whoever wins this game is almost guaranteed to make the playoffs, while the loser needs to win two of its final three games at a minimum. The Giants and Commanders are both 7-5-1, and for Washington, this game comes off a bye week. New York has been a mess in recent weeks at 0-3-1, including being demolitioned by the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend at MetLife Stadium.
1. Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-7)
Best game of the week. The Dolphins are coming off two straight losses in California and at 8-5, suddenly don’t feel like a lock for the playoffs. For the Bills, they’re 10-3 and tied atop the AFC standings with the Kansas City Chiefs, who draw the one-win Houston Texans this weekend. To keep home-field advantage in their control, the Bills must find a way.
