Playoff Motivation:
- Broncos will want to beat the Chiefs to make the playoffs.
- Dolphins will want to beat the Jets hoping to get in if the Broncos lose.
- The Bengals will want to beat the Steelers in hopes that the Broncos and the Dolphins lose.
- Bucs will want to beat the Saints to get in the playoffs.
- Falcons will want to beat Panthers i hopes that the Bucs lose to get in the playoffs.
- The Ravens will want to secure the division with a win hosting Cleveland.
- Steelers may be motived to at least get the 5 seed if not the Division if the Ravens lose.
- Washington will want to avoid @ the Eagles in round 1 with a win at the Cowboys.
- Vikings and Lions are playing for the number 1 seed, the division, and a bye in the playoffs!
- If the Steelers lose, you will get full effort from the Chargers to help their seeding. Maybe bet Chargers
Spoiler teams:
- Jets hosting the Dolphins
- Saints at the Buccaneers
- Panthers at the Falcons
- Steelers hosting the Bengals. The Steelers also will want the 5 seed, if not the Division.
- Browns could technically hurt Ravens division and seed.
- Cowboys could hurt the Commanders seed.
Teams that can’t improve their seed much or at all and should not be motivated:
- Chiefs at the Broncos.
- Bills at the Patriots (will Patriots want to lose the number 1 pick?)
- Packers hosting the Bears. The Packers could technically move to the 6 from 7, but Washington has to lose.
- Texans are locked into the 4 seed at the Titans. They will put starters out for a while.
- The Eagles are locked into the 2 seed hosting the Giants.
- Rams are locked into the three or 4 spot and it might be better to play the Commanders over the Packers, so they should not care.
- If the Steelers win on Saturday, you might not get a big effort from the Chargers at the Raiders. Prepare to bet Raiders.
