Best Week 18 NFL Bets from SportsHub
ATS Pick: Jets −3 at Bills
With Buffalo’s offense sputtering down the stretch and New York needing a win to solidify its playoff path, the Jets’ balanced attack should cover on the road.
Moneyline Play: Chiefs ML vs. Raiders
Kansas City has dominated this series, and with home-field advantage on the line, expect a focused performance from Mahomes & Co.
O/U Play: Under 42.5 in Ravens vs. Steelers
If Baltimore rests a few starters and Pittsburgh leans on its defense, this could be a low-volume, hard-fought affair.
Player Prop: Dolphins QB Over 270.5 Passing Yards
With Miami needing a statement game in Foxborough, Tua Tagovailoa should air it out early and often.
Team Prop: Patriots Under 2.5 Total Touchdowns
New England’s offense has struggled without Mac Jones, and Miami’s defense ranks top 10 overall.
