The NFL is rolling out a huge doubleheader on Saturday before a busy Sunday slate that includes Baltimore at Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Ravens have a chance to make the playoffs after a big Week 17 win over the Green Bay Packers. The Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and now this is simply a scenario where the winner gets in, and the loser goes home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Carolina Panthers can clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2017 if they upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Carolina beat Tampa Bay, 23-20, in Week 16. The Bucs enter Week 17 amid a four-game losing streak and need a win plus an Atlanta Falcons loss to advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saturday&#8217;s NFL action ends with an NFC West showdown to determine the No. 1 seed in the conference. The Seattle Seahawks visit the San Francisco 49ers, with the winner earning a first-round bye. The loser of the game, however, will slot in as the fifth or sixth seed in the NFC. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Denver Broncos control their destiny as the AFC&#8217;s top seed. But a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers would invite some chaos. The New England Patriots would secure first with a win over the Miami Dolphins. But if they also lose, the Jacksonville Jaguars could claim first with a win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both the Jaguars and Houston Texans are in, though the division winner is undetermined. Houston has won eight straight, but the Jags continue to hold the lead with a seven-game winning streak of their own. They can lock up the AFC South with a win over the 3-12 Tennessee Titans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See the latest betting odds for Week 18<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Week 18 schedule: Saturday, Jan. 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong><br>Time: 4:30 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Buccaneers -3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><br>Time: 4:30 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: 49ers -1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Week 18 games: Sunday, Jan. 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Bengals -7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants<\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Cowboys -5.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings<\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Vikings -6.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans <\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Texans -10.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons<\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Falcons -2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong><br>Time: 1 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Jaguars -10.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on the Week 18 slate now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Week 18: 4:25 p.m. slate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Rams -9.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Bears -2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Broncos -7.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Patriots -9.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Bills -10.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Washington Commanders vs. Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Eagles -7.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday Night Football<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong><br>Time: 4:25 p.m. ET<br>Opening line: Ravens -3.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for the final week of the 2025 NFL season.
