Week 18 within the NFL is what we prefer to name Info Week.
With the intention to predict what is going to occur in most of the video games, we have to know the motives of each the gamers and the groups.
This week is extra necessary than another in relation to monitoring the damage studies and following the beat writers for every group.
For the picks this week, we’ll attempt to concentrate on groups and gamers with clear motivations.
Let’s finish the common season with a bang with 4 winners on PrizePicks.
Rachaad White (Bucs vs. Panthers) greater than 70.5 speeding yards
The Buccaneers have rather a lot on the road this week, as they should win with a purpose to maintain their playoff hopes alive.
White has been one of many nice surprises in fantasy soccer this season and will be capable of maintain his sizzling streak going this week towards the Panthers.
On the season, Carolina is ranked final in each DVOA towards the run and rush EPA. The Panthers have been the slump-busting matchup for each Aaron Jones and Travis Etienne over the past two weeks, so White ought to have loads of alternatives on this one.
So long as Tampa Bay is enjoying with a lead, I like his possibilities to see 20 carries, which has occurred in 4 of the final 5 video games.
Justin Jefferson (Vikings vs. Lions) greater than 88.5 receiving yards
The Vikings nonetheless can be technically be alive (barely) within the playoff hunt when this sport kicks off, so they need to nonetheless be promoting out to win.
The Lions, who’re a near-lock for the NFC’s No. three seed, have hinted at resting starters on Sunday, so we’ll see what Detroit finally ends up doing with their starters in what basically quantities to a meaningless sport.
Even when we do get the same old starters for the Lions, they’ve been burned by lengthy performs within the passing sport all season. Nick Mullens goes to make errors, however he’s additionally going to take possibilities down the sphere. Jefferson has seen not less than 10 targets in every of the final three video games.
James Conner (Cardinals vs. Seahawks) greater than 11.5 receiving yards
There’s nothing in his sport log that means it is a good decide, however hear me out.
Whereas the receiving yards haven’t been there, Conner has had not less than three receptions in three of his final 5 video games.
He doesn’t have a lot competitors for touches on this backfield, and the Cardinals get to face a Seahawks protection that has been reeling within the second half of the season.
Seattle has allowed the 11th most receiving yards to operating backs this season, and the Cardinals are enjoying as residence underdogs.
If Conner will get three or extra receptions once more, he ought to simply high his receiving prop.
Betting on the NFL?
CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys vs. Commanders) greater than 92.5 receiving yards
The ultimate decide of the week is a reasonably apparent one. Lamb is dealing with the worst go protection within the NFL, and the Cowboys must win with a purpose to win their division and take the No. 2 seed within the NFC.
No group has allowed extra receiving yards or extra fantasy factors to extensive receivers this season than Washington.
In the meantime, Lamb is coming off of a 227-yard efficiency towards the Lions. He has topped 100 yards in three of his final 5 video games and will get peppered with targets as soon as once more.
Thanks for becoming a member of me this NFL season. Good luck in Week 18!
