Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will fight for a spot in the postseason when they host the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. It's been a bumpy road for the Packers this year, but the team has gelled and is on a four-game winning streak. Green Bay's rookie receivers, particularly Christian Watson, have given Rodgers enough fuel to keep the team's hopes afloat. All they now need to do is beat the Lions on SNF. Detroit is also still alive in the NFL playoff picture, but the Lions will need the Seahawks to lose earlier in the day if they're to have a shot. Expect the Lions to come out with their hair on fire if Seattle is upset by the Rams. The Packers are five-point favorites in the latest Week 18 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook.

Top Week 18 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Seattle Seahawks (-6.5) to cover against the Los Angeles Rams. 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. That will hamstring them playing on the road in Seattle against a Seahawks team that's hungry for the playoffs.
Seattle will get in if they beat the Rams and the Lions subsequently beat the Packers. The Seahawks can only hold up their end of the bargain, but that's more than enough motivation for Pete Carroll's team. That is one reason the Seahawks are covering the spread in more than 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
