The NFL Week 18 schedule features multiple high-profile matchups with only a handful of games having implications in the NFL playoff picture. Four teams are favored by double digits in the latest Week 18 NFL odds, with the Baltimore Ravens (-20, 41.5) vs. Cleveland Browns being the largest of the Week 18 NFL point spreads. The Sunday NFL slate features 14 games, including Vikings vs. Lions (-2.5, 56.5) on Sunday Night Football. Among the most notable NFL matchups during the day are Saints vs. Buccaneers (-13.5, 43.5) and Chiefs vs. Broncos (-10.5, 40.5), with both games deciding who will land the final spot in both the AFC and NFC playoff brackets. With so many games on the Week 18 NFL schedule and parity around the league at an all-time high, finding value in the Week 18 NFL point spreads can require a different perspective.

Before making your Week 18 NFL picks and bets, you NEED to see what sides the Las Vegas sharps and professional football bettors are backing.

Sharp money bettors are notorious in Las Vegas for finding value in point spreads and betting lines that casual bettors may not see. These professional bettors are respected by sportsbooks in Vegas and all around the world, and their betting action often causes bookmakers to change their lines. 

Jay Kornegay, EVP of the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, joined SportsLine NFL expert Jimmie Kaylor to share who the Vegas sharps are backing in the Week 3 NFL odds. Kornegay is a longtime oddsmaker at the SuperBook, and has been a key player on the Vegas bookmaking scene for more than 25 years. He was inducted into the Sports Betting Hall of Fame Class of 2024. 

Since Week 3 (when this article was first published), the sharps have been crushing the sportsbooks, going a combined 21-13-1 against the spread on their NFL picks!

For Week 18, one of the Sharp Money plays the SuperBook has taken is the Detroit Lions (-2.5, 56.5) covering against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. The winner of this game takes home the NFC North crown and will be the top seed in the NFC playoff bracket. The Lions are 11-5 against the spread this season

The Vegas sharps have also targeted three other NFL games and already locked in their against the spread and over/under picks, including a pick in a matchup between NFC West rivals and a point total pick for the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry game!
