Happy Friday and Happy New Year to everyone. We have reached the final week of the NFL season, there’s an outdoor hockey game being played in Florida, and we are down to four teams to win the national title in CFB.

We have a full NFL card, as well as early thoughts on the CFB semifinals.

Make sure you listen to the Betting with Bearman podcast this week as we will have Raheem Palmer from the Ringer on today to discuss Week 18 action. It will be updated shortly.

Also, upgrade at the current $99/year plan as you don’t want to miss weekly NFL and CFB week picks in the fall. One $99 price (or $9.99/month) will get you every single newsletter unlocked, all our trends and picks and access to me of course.

NFL Week 18 Action

Welcome to the last week of the regular season! Week 18 is always a tricky one with most games not impacting the postseason and half the players ready for the golf course. That said, we have a few edges in games on the card this weekend.

As a reminder, the first pick below is in front of the pay wall, but the rest of the card, including prop picks, all CFB championship action, NBA and NHL games, are all one click (and $10) away.

NFL Main Side/Total Plays (including primetime games): 34-38-2 (47.3%)
- Sides: 19-18-2
- Totals: 15-20
Main Props (including primetime games): 90-57 (61.2%)
Total: 124-95-2 (56.7%)

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3, 43.5) - Saturday

  • The Bucs are in a tailspin, losing 7 of the last 8 and barely putting up a fight against a bad Dolphins team with a rookie QB. They simply aren’t any good and wouldn’t have a sniff of playoffs if not in the NFC South.

  • The Panthers already beat them two weeks ago and are the much better team here. Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense was a mess and have been for a long time.

  • Broke 20 once in the last six games.. Mayfield: 9 TD, 8 INT over last 7 games.

  • Make sure to check out our “Trend to Watch” below that adds a key trend to this game pick.

  • Panthers have alternated Wins and Losses for the last 10 weeks... streak continues.

    Panthers +3

Stick around for more, our entire Week 18 card, including props and NBA and NHL picks.
