Despite its stellar record, Denver is only 6-9-1 against the spread. Los Angeles is 8-7-1 ATS but had four straight covers before losing to the Texans at home in Week 17. The Chargers are 6-9-1 to the Over while the Broncos are 7-9 to the Over.
1. Seahawks (last week No. 1; 13-3): Another year, another Week 18 opportunity for Sam Darnold to win the No. 1 seed. 2. Patriots (No. 4; 13-3): They could have scored 100 against the Jets, if they wanted. 3. Jaguars (No. 2; 12-4): Hopefully, they didn’t peak too soon.
