I’ve spent the bulk of this week packing away the holiday decorations, stripping the Christmas tree bare, and jamming my 6-foot-4 frame into our storage space under the stairs for a real-life game of Tetris.
It seems like only yesterday that I was hunched over inside that tiny hideaway, hauling out those same bins and boxes while “Die Hard 2” played on the TV in the next room.
The holidays come and go faster than you can say, “Oh shit, the power bill”- much like the NFL season.
I can’t believe we’ve reached our NFL Week 18 point spread picks already. Despite having an extra week of NFL betting this year, the regular season blew past us like Ja’Marr Chase in one-on-one coverage. And now we sit on the precipice of the postseason, sifting through the tricky NFL Week 18 odds.
What are NFL underdog bettors to do?
You have four types of points spread pups in the final week of the regular season: 1. Dogs pushing for the postseason. 2. Non-qualifying dogs fighting to the finish. 3. Dogs with plane tickets/tee times already booked. 4. Dogs playing playoff-bound teams resting starters.
I primarily try to stick to the first two when it comes to my NFL Underdogs picks, but that’s not to say the latter two don’t have value tucked away, packed tightly somewhere in those point spreads like a holiday crawlspace.
