The main slate for Week 18 is massive. It has 13 games on DraftKings and 14 on FanDuel since they include the Sunday Night Football game. As if sifting through the massive player pool isn’t challenging enough on a vast slate, teams have different degrees of motivation this week. For instance, some teams have their playoff spot sewn up and might opt to rest starters. On the other hand, teams that were eliminated from the playoffs might decide to look at younger reserves with an eye on the 2023 season. This piece sifts through everything and makes an educated guess on who’s reliable this week.

Week 18 Matchups

Game: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons

Spread: ATL -4.0 Points

Over/Under: 40.5 Points

Buccaneers Analysis: The Buccaneers are locked into the NFC’s fourth seed, but they will start their starters. Still, playing them the entire game and risking an injury would be coaching malpractice. So, the starters probably get an early hook, which is reflected in the betting info.
