Kate Constable: Steelers -2.5 vs. Browns
This game actually means something to the Steelers because, while their playoff chances are slim, they aren’t completely dead yet. In order to secure the final AFC wild-card spot, the Steelers need to get some help from a few other teams, but none of that matters if they don’t win this game. There will also be plenty of motivation after the losing to Cleveland in Week 3. Plus, at 8-8, Pittsburgh needs a win in order to keep Mike Tomlin’s streak of 15 straight seasons without a losing record alive. The Steelers have a lot to play for on Sunday while the Browns' season is all but over.

Dan Karpuc: Packers -4.5 vs. Lions
Win and you’re in. This is the situation that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers face at home against the Lions on Sunday Night Football. This is the final regular-season game scheduled for Week 18 and Green Bay controls its own destiny. There’s no chance that I’m going to fade A-Rodg and Co. in this situation. Rodgers hasn’t put up any eye-popping numbers, but this team has won four games in a row to get back to .500 and the defense has been stellar. Green Bay has allowed 19, 12, 20 and 17 points during the win streak and just hung 41 on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. At Lambeau Field, I expect Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon to run all over this porous Detroit defense and for the Pack to come away with a decisive win.

Lucy Burdge: Lions +4.5 at Packers
The Lions (10-4 ATS) are still a wagon when it comes to covering the spread, having covered eight of their last nine, and I think they can do it again here against the Packers (8-8 ATS) as they make a final playoff push. Detroit did beat Green Bay earlier this season, 15-9, so I like the Lions to cover this one too.

If you're not playing BetMGM's NFL OGP Insurance promo yet, you're leaving money on the table!

Here is my play for Sunday, using the strategy of going over the lowest game total and under the highest game total (can only lose a maximum of one leg there), and taking the most points on both teams' alt lines (can only lose one leg here too); you can apply this strategy to any football game, including college:
DET-GB Over 39.5

Packers +5.5
