2025 Week 18 NFL score predictions, odds, picks today: Expert releases exact scores for every game

The Week 18 NFL odds deliver the highest over/under in a game this season, 57 in the crucial Vikings vs. Lions matchup on Sunday Night Football. Detroit is favored by three with the NFC North Division title, a first-round bye, and home field advantage in the NFL playoff picture on the line. Ironically, Lions quarterback Jared Goff was also the quarterback in the highest totaled game of all-time, 63.5-points for the Rams vs. Chiefs in 2018. The game ended 54-51 and eclipsed the projected total by more than 40 points. While that is unlikely to happen again on Sunday, Goff and Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold could put on a show in the first regular season game of all-time matching 14-win teams. Who will prevail and win the NFC’s No. 1 seed? Before you make any Week 18 NFL picks, be sure to see the exact NFL score predictions from SportsLine expert Eric Cohen.

Top Week 18 NFL picks

After diving into all 16 games from the NFL’s Week 18, Cohen is high on the Denver Broncos (-11, 40) to capture the AFC’s final playoff spot with a 27-14 win over the 15-1 Kansas City Chiefs. If the Chiefs were likely to play their starters the entire game, this pick would be far more difficult. With a first round bye and home field advantage secured, it is unlikely that the team will play quarterback Patrick Mahomes for too long, if at all.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has thrown for 25 touchdown passes and run for four additional scores, having led his team back from 0-2 start to on the verge of a playoff berth. His top wide receiver, Courtland Sutton, needs 17 yards to top the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the second time in his career. With a stingy defense only allowing 19.4 points per game, Cohen expects this Broncos unit to overwhelm the Chiefs backups and advance to the Wild Card round. See his other Week 18 football score predictions at SportsLine.
