The Bills are playing for seeding, while the Patriots can get into the playoffs with a win. The model enters Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season on a 160-113 run making top-rated NFL picks since 2017, and it says to avoid the Buccaneers, even though they are facing Atlanta, whom the Bucs have beaten in five straight head-to-head matchups. Everything is on the line now: postseason spots and seeding are up for grabs, and it's anyone's guess as to which clubs will prove to be contenders rather than pretenders in Week 18.

Take him over 75 yards at plus money and enjoy the day.

A longshot, but I like one of these a week and if Mahomes is going to break the record, it can happen against a division rival that is 30th in the NFL in passing yards given up.

NFL Week 18 preview: Playoff spots on the line in final week of ... (CNN)

Baltimore Ravens (10-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (11-4). Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he “probably wants to play” his team's next game but also ...

They have won their last four games on the spin without conceding more than 20 points in any of them. A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles looked unstoppable. The Bengals have no chance of topping the AFC. His replacement Malick Willis threw only 99 yards and was turned over twice against Houston, before he was replaced in their last game by Josh Dobbs. 1 seed and a bye in the next round. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was on fire, throwing 368 yards and three touchdowns. “I’m sure if you polled the locker room there would be mixed votes on that,” he told reporters. Things have been made worse by their situation at quarterback. But like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it.” This is also a game of two teams that have recovered from terrible starts (Packers were 3-6 and the Lions were 1-6) to finish the regular season in top form. The Bills will have to play their game against the Patriots (8-8) Sunday knowing that with a win and a Chiefs loss they could still clinch that top spot in the AFC thanks to a higher win percentage. The canceled game leaves the Bills (12-3) – a win behind the Chiefs (13-3) in the hunt for the No.

No. The Seahawks are in playoff position heading into Week 18 but in order to remain there they’ll need a little help. 1 seed with a victory over Arizona AND an Eagles loss to the Giants. The Bills can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win over the Patriots AND a Chiefs loss. All thoughts during this Bills game will be on No. The Ravens can clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with a win over Cincinnati AND a Chargers loss to the Broncos. Cincinnati will clinch the AFC’s second seed with a win over Baltimore AND a Bills loss to the Patriots. But if they lose to the Titans, thus giving up the division crown to Tennessee, they then fall into the wild card race and muddy those waters even more making it a four-team battle for one final spot. The cancellation meant the Bengals clinched the AFC North based on win percentage, but it also ruled out Cincinnati from a shot at vying for the AFC’s top seed. Things are a lot more complicated atop the AFC. That one will come down to the very last game, a Sunday Night showdown between the Packers and Lions. Incredibly, just four days later, the team announced Hamlin is awake and communicating, and was able to speak with teammates via Zoom on Friday.

Focus on NFL star's care belies medical racism in US (The Hill)

This utopian fantasy of superb medical care for Black people is as illusory as the make-believe racial integration of the sports world itself.

The [young Black patient who is treated](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5995336) by an inexperienced surgeon. The special treatment he is receiving creates the temporary illusion of racially integrated medicine and health equity that does not exist for the vast majority of Black Americans. The most egregious racial scandal of American medicine is the fact that, unlike in the NFL, organized medicine has never created “emergency action plans” to dismantle racially differential diagnoses and treatments that do medical harm. It does not survey, let alone try to regulate, [the racially motivated physicians’ habits.](https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2014-12600-036) The [young Black man with cerebral pain](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843483) who is stigmatized as a gangbanger and is left undiagnosed. These treatment disparities can involve both the behaviors of medical personnel and the medical therapies they offer. As someone who has studied the medical care provided to young African American men who do not belong to the elites of athletics or entertainment, I have found the sentimental appeals and amped-up media coverage of this young Black athlete’s ordeal nothing less than disturbing. For example, the NFL’s “emergency action plan” coordinated the medical personnel of both teams who administered CPR to Hamlin and appeared to have restored heart function on the field. As a historian of medical racism, I have watched the overwhelming media response to NFL player Damar Hamlin’s heart-stopping on-field injury with a combination of uneasiness and disbelief.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has expressed his thanks in his first Instagram post since suffering a cardiac arrest five days ago.

Ahead of a round of Saturday night fixtures in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders held a moment of support with applause and cheers around the Allegiant Stadium for Hamlin. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed on Friday that the fixture has been cancelled completely following talks with the Bills, Bengals and the NFL Players Association. After receiving medical attention on the field on Monday night, Hamlin was taken into hospital and the game was subsequently suspended.

Players on the field in Vegas joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium.

NFL teams continued to show an outpouring of support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin as the league resumed play on Saturday.

Hamlin got back to his feet and momentarily stood in place before falling to the field. "Throughout this week the entire NFL family has been praying for Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills as he continues his recovery. The 24-year-old Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of Monday's game. "The Jacksonville Jaguars ask you to join us now in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight," the public address announcer said. "At this time, the Raiders ask everyone to join us in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight." During warmups on the field before the game, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes wore a Chiefs hoodie with the word "Damar" surrounded by a heart on the front and an image of Hamlin on the back, along with the slogan "Hamlin Strong."

In December, the league provided teams with a 33-page document on equitable hiring practices. Teams are also strongly encouraged, but not required, to enlist an inclusive hiring process coach/expert in their search for a head coach. Individuals considered "decision-makers" in the hiring process — team owners, general managers or otherwise — must get the training before beginning.

NFL Games LIVE: NFL Week 18 - Playoff spots on the line in final ... (MARCA.com)

The 2022 NFL regular season's penultimate weekend has arrived. The 16 games scheduled for the two days will determine the NFC and AFC playoff picture.

Two playoff spots were still up for grabs as of Sunday's action: one in the AFC and one in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently in first place in the NFC side of the bracket, although they have not yet clinched the NFC East division. With his fifth consecutive inactive game, James Robinson's first (and probably final) season with the Jets comes to a conclusion. The Patriots are being pursued for that position by the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers are in with a win versus the Lions. The Bears are once again in the best position to select first overall. For now, they are still the No. In order to finish 9-8 and go to the postseason for the first time since 2016, Miami broke a five-game losing run. In their final three games of the season, the Jets managed just one touchdown. Detroit now has the ball and lead (2-0-16) with 3:27 to go in Q4. Two minute warning of 1st half: the Packers are up 9-3 with their playoff ticket still in the grasp. For the Packers: win and in.

The final week of the NFL regular season is here, and there are a number of teams with a lot left to play for.

All other games on Sunday will be on CBS or Fox. — The final "Sunday Night Football" offering of the 2022 NFL season is a big one, as divisional foes in the Lions and Packers face off at Lambeau Field. In Seattle, the Seahawks will look to keep its path to the postseason open with a win over the Rams before cheering for Detroit during Sunday's prime-time offering. The early window of Sunday afternoon's action is headlined by the Patriots', Dolphins' and Steelers' pursuit of the AFC's final playoff spot. New England controls its own playoff destiny with a win (but must do that against the Bills), while Miami and Pittsburgh will need some help due to tiebreakers should that Pats lose.

[NFL odds](https://www.sportsline.com/nfl/odds/) at Caesars Sportsbook. The Seahawks can only hold up their end of the bargain, but that's more than enough motivation for Pete Carroll's team. That will hamstring them playing on the road in Seattle against a Seahawks team that's hungry for the playoffs. It is also on a 14-6 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of this season. Baker Mayfield has looked reinvigorated since landing at SoFi Stadium, but the Rams have nothing to play for on Sunday and will still be without a number of key players. Expect the Lions to come out with their hair on fire if Seattle is upset by the Rams.

NFL draft order: Where the Houston Texans will pick (Chron)

This Houston Texans blew a shot at the top pick in the draft. Here's where their other first-round pick falls in the NFL draft order.

[Houston Texans](https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/) took care of business on the football field Sunday afternoon. 1 overall pick to the Bayou City. Houston took a trio of 10-point leads on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, yet a second-half collapse seemed to set the Texans up for a 31-24 loss—which would have sent the No.

What Bears can expect in potential NFL draft trade for No. 1 pick (NBC Sports Chicago)

Despite all of that, the future looks bright in Chicago because of what transpired during the season and in Indianapolis on Sunday. Quarterback Justin Fields ...

15 overall pick, two 2016 second-round picks, a 2016 third-round pick, a 2017 first-round pick, and a 2017 third-round pick for the No. 6 overall pick, a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a seventh-round pick to the Jets to draft Orlando Pace. In 2021, the 49ers traded the No. 2004: New York Giants trade the rights to the No. 2001: Atlanta Falcons trade the No. So, what could the Bears expect in a trade for the No. Since 1997, the No. You have to consider how far down the Bears would be sliding in the draft and how many teams are in desperate need of a quarterback. Louis Rams trade the No. With Fields entrenched as the long-term option behind center in Chicago, the Bears could host a bidding war and maximize the return in a trade for the No.1 pick. 1 pick in their pocket, the Bears should have several quarterback-needy teams calling them to trade up for the right to draft Bryce Young or C.J. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

[Deshaun Watson](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/deshaun-watson-2FClGss4NbY7sgLY/) trade with the Browns gives the Texans the necessary draft capital to move up a spot should they choose to do so.

Given this is a franchise that could be on the verge of hiring a new head coach for the third in time three years, depending on what happens with Lovie Smith, it’d be wrong to assume the Texans will follow conventional thinking and take a quarterback with their first pick in the 2023 draft. [Houston Texans](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/texans/) finished the regular season with a 32-31 win against the the [Indianapolis Colts](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/colts/) on Sunday. The best thing for Poles to do is to bring in as many blue-chip players as possible, and that means trading down to a team that will give up a lot for Bryce Young or whoever is the top quarterback. Possessing the second overall pick puts the Texans in position to find a quarterback who is, even if some fans are be disappointed in Sunday’s outcome. The Bears did finish 32nd in the league in passing, but Fields didn’t have much to work with, and he became the best running quarterback in football.

2023 NFL Playoff Picture: Seahawks or Packers will get NFC's final ... (CBSSports.com)

In the early slate of games, the Dolphins were the biggest winner after they were able to sneak into the playoffs by stealing the seventh seed in the AFC away ...

The Lions will be playing for pride on Sunday night knowing that if they beat the Packers, Green Bay will also be eliminated from the playoffs. The Cowboys will now be opening the postseason against the same Buccaneers team they lost to back in Week 1. The NFC South champion Buccaneers had already clinched the fourth seed heading into Week 18, so they had nothing to play for and it showed. With the Giants sitting most of their starters, the Eagles got a late scare, but in the end, they picked up a 22-16 win, which means they're now the top seed in the NFC for the first time since 2017 when they won the Super Bowl. Jason Sanders hit a 50-yard field goal with just 18 seconds left to give Miami an 11-6 win (The Dolphins also got a safety on the final play). The Jags' win over the Titans on Saturday means that they're now headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and just the third time since 2008. Although that gives them a first-round bye, there is one catch: If they make it to the AFC title game, that game will be played at a neutral site if they play the Bills. One thing that won't be happening is a coin flip to determine where the Bengals and Ravens will be playing in the wild-card round. To get in the postseason, the Dolphins needed a win over the Jets and a loss by New England, which was playing the Bills. The Dolphins officially punched their ticket to the postseason after the Bills beat the Patriots 35-23, a victory that came thanks in large part to two kickoff return touchdowns by Nyheim Hines. The victory over the Jets marked the first time since 2003 that Miami was able to win a game without scoring a touchdown. With just three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were trailing 16-13 and on the brink of elimination from the playoffs, but they managed to force overtime where Jason Myers hit a game-winning field goal from 32 yards away to give Seattle a 19-16 win.

What We Learned From Week 18 in the N.F.L. (The New York Times)

The Dolphins and Jaguars grabbed the last two spots in the A.F.C., while Tom Brady broke his own record for pass completions.

But after the Jaguars’ defense allowed a field goal to open the second half, it held the Titans to a punt, a turnover or a turnover on downs on five straight possessions. Mills converted on a late fourth-and-18 and launched a ball on a fourth-and-20 into the end zone for what could have been the game-tying score. His second return and the extra point put the Bills up by 21-17 and were the final lead change of the game, handing the Patriots a loss that dropped them out of the playoffs. Once the Ravens fell to the Bengals in the afternoon, the Chargers were locked into the fifth seed in the A.F.C. With the first pick, the Texans could have grabbed the quarterback of their choice from a group that includes Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. And though Herbert was able to finish the game fairly comfortably, Staley paid the price for playing Williams and Bosa. Brady had to fully take over as a surgeon in the short-to-intermediate area, getting down the field little by little just to stay in games. Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense never got off the ground, and Prescott produced his worst game of the season at the worst time. The Eagles held onto their top seed, but only by a smidgen, in a 22-16 win over the Giants. Pederson turned the second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence into a legitimate star, and the defense, though inconsistent, has the talent up front to be a nuisance from time to time. 7 seed, the Dolphins could be a scary opponent for the division-rival Bills in the first round. In the wild-card race among Miami, New England and Pittsburgh, the Dolphins got some help to take the final spot.
