NFL Picks Week 18 Odds And 2024 Underdog Winners

Fairway’s Football Forecast NFL Picks Week 18 odds are initially posted at Off Shore Gaming Association. The final week of the regular season also includes added stats, impact of turnovers and a review of the record-breaking run for NFL favorites this season and especially since Week 12, when our downward spiral on underdog picks took a turn for the worst.

We’ll conclude our 8th, and likely final season of underdog ONLY picks hitting just under 55% ATS overall after starting the season at nearly 57%. We were 20-15 ATS into Week 11, and that’s when the turnaround went South. Recall we had a 70% season (28-12 ATS) in 2021 on our NFL only underdog picks, and went 11-1 ATS with 9 outright ‘Dog winners in December last season.

The Week 18 featured game is a winner-take-all NFC North contest. The Minnesota Vikings (14-2) at Detroit Lions (14-2) will decide the NFC North division champion, and the winner gets the No. 1 seed and first round by in the playoffs.

I provide more detailed coverage of the Vikings-Lions matchup in my NFL coverage in Forbes, along with all NFL Picks Week 18 odds.

FairwayJay History NFL Winners

Last season was a small winnning one that included a strong 11-1 ATS finish in December which was part of a 7-0 ATS result in Week 14 with seven outright winners. Recall Fairways Football Forecast had an unprecedented 70% season (28-12 ATS) in 2021 picking only NFL underdogs. Now in our 8th year posting NFL only underdog picks at OSGA and Vegas Sports Zone, the record was greater than 56% ATS to start the season in the tougher to beat spread market.
