The last dance! After 17 weeks, the NFL 2021/22 regular season is close to an end. Last week more five franchises clinched a spot on the playoffs and joined the other six that already had their spots on the postseason.
That’s why we can say the past week was perfect specifically for Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, and Philadelphia Eagles that are going to the offs.
Buffalo and the Pats were between the main favorite in the previous week, and with the victories against Atlanta and Jacksonville, respectively, they clinched a spot.
As notable favorites, San Francisco and Tampa Bay didn’t disappoint either. The 49ers defeated Houston by 23 – 7 at home, while the Buccs beat the Jets in a tight game by 28 – 24.
In another close game, the Rams won the challenge against the Ravens by 20 – 19, and Cleveland fell for the Steelers on Monday by 26 – 14.
18th week
All the games will be on Saturday and Sunday in the last week. On Bovada, Buffalo and Indianapolis are the main favorites for their challenge.
+ Read what the franchises need to be in the playoffs
To clinch the AFC East title, the Buffalo Bills have to beat the Jets at home and is the favorite in the game for winning by 17 points or more, with -105 odds.
For the Colts, one victory is enough to be clinched in the Wild Card. On Bovada, they have the same odds to defeat Jacksonville Jaguars by more than 16.
Tennessee will face the Texans and is the notable favorite to win by 11 or more, with -110 odds. They need the win to be on bye on the first playoff week, while on the other hand, they feel, almost lose the chance.
Kansas City is the other notable favorite to defeat Denver Broncos, at least by 11, with –105 odds. The 2020’ Super Bowl Champion still dreams with the best record from the Conference and needs to win and support the Texans.
On the levelheaded games, LA Chargers have -160 odds to beat the Raiders. It’s a previous playoff since the winner will be clinched in the postseason.
Los Angeles Rams have -220 odds to beat the 49ers. Like the other LA team, the Rams need only a single victory to win the division title. But San Francisco still runs for a playoff spot. So we can expect a lot from the game, which may be tight.
