The final week of the 2025 regular season features three top games I analyze that will determine two division champions and fill the final two NFL playoff spots – Carolina at Tampa Bay Saturday and Baltimore at Pittsburgh Sunday night. The 2025 NFL Week 18 tips and schedule will also determine the No. 1 seeds in the AFC and NFC with the big Seattle at San Francisco contest to determine the NFC West champion and No. 1 seed.
December has been a winning month on both tips, totals and teasers plus picks, props and parlays following a 3-0 sweep in picks and opinions (plus a push) in Week 16 and another pick winner in Week 17 to make it an 8-2 run on picks since Week 11 heading into 2025 NFL Week 18 tips.
Full coverage and updates at Off Shore Gaming Association, including 2025 NFL Week 18 tips, where game totals are 12-9 since Week 12 including 3-2 on top totalss tips. My NFL picks and opinions are 15-10 ATS since Week 11 (8-2 picks). Recall in 2023 our NFL underdog picks went 11-1 ATS with 9 outright winners in December to cap a 57% ATS run on posted NFL underdog picks at OSGA from 2017-2023, including a 70% ATS season in 2021 on all NFL underdog picks.

Teasers
– 49ers, Bills, Rams
Tread lightly and monitor the NFL injuries and playing status of starters including key quarterbacks like Bills QB Josh Allen, Rams QB Matthew Stafford and Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Also, monitor the NFL weather noting rain definitely in the forecast in Tampa for the Bucs-Panthers winner-take-all NFC South clash and also rain in Santa Clara for the Niners-Seahawks showdown for the NFC West title and No. 1 seed. Of course, it’s freezing cold (20’s) in Chicago and slight chance of snow and freezing rain for Bears-Lions where former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson gets the last laugh this season as Bears new head coach. Chicago goes worst-to-first to win the division while the defending NFC North champions Lions miss the playoffs. Bears not likely to forget the 52-21 loss to the Lions in Week 2. A game total north of 50 in Chicago in January? Still pondering for under consideration after more research and review.
