Bills vs Patriots +3.5 O/U 35.5
Remember when we said that NFL Week 18 is more about motivation than anything else? Well, there a a few things going on here with this game. I think that the big reason that the Bills are favored here is that Josh Allen has a pretty long consecutive starts streak that he doesn’t want to break. How long does he play? I can’t think that it is going to be for more than a quarter as the Bills are locked into the two spot. If everyone remembers, the Bills always seem to be injured come playoff time and this year is an exception. I do not think McDermott will try hard to win this game. The Patriots on the other hand are not thinking about draft pick order. The Bears helped seal that thought this year when they crapped the bed due to poor coaching after having the top draft pick in Caleb Williams. Drake Maye will start this game, and I think that pretty much says it all for the Pats.
Patriots +3.5 – 2 stars
Bonus Play: Chiefs +10.5 – 2 stars – It is true that the Chiefs are locked into the number 1 spot, but these teams still hate each other. I expect Carson Wentz to play well in Denver while the Chiefs prove that they are deep.
