NFL Week 18 Opening Lines: Patriots Clear Favorite Entering Season Finale
Only the Packers have their playoff seeding determined
It's sure to be an entertaining final week of the NFL regular season with only one playoff seed already determined as the Green Bay Packers enter Week 18 having clinched the top spot in the NFC.
The Buffalo Bills are the biggest favorites on the betting board -- owning one of three double-digit spreads -- before their regular-season finale against the New York Jets. They'll repeat as AFC East champions with a win and therefore earn a home playoff game.
The New England Patriots also are seven-point favorites ahead of their clash with Miami Dolphins. New England has lost six of its last eight games in South Beach.
