2024 NFL Week 18 betting - Saturday football picks, odds, lines, trends, analysis - ESPN

Week 18 of the NFL season gets underway Saturday with a pair of AFC North matchups.

The Cleveland Browns visit the Baltimore Ravens (4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC/ESPN+) to get things going for the final week of the regular season. The Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win or tie against the Browns or if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose or tie against the Cincinnati Bengals in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader (8 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC/ESPN+).

The Steelers can clinch the division with a win vs. Cincinnati and a Ravens loss. Meanwhile, the Bengals can still sneak into the postseason, but they need some help. First, they must take care of business and win Saturday, but they also need a Denver Broncos loss and Miami Dolphins loss or tie.

The final week of the regular season still has plenty of drama, and there are still plenty of betting possibilities. Check out the lines, props, analysis, trends and our picks below to help with your decisions.

Browns-Ravens | Bengals-Steelers

The Ravens (11-5, 9-7 ATS) are big favorites Saturday against the Browns (3-13, 4-12 ATS) and would clinch the AFC North title with a victory.

The Steelers (-8000 to win the AFC North) lost to the Browns back in Week 8, but things certainly look a lot different now.

It remains to be seen how much action Lamar Jackson will see, but it will be the Ravens quarterback's last chance to make his MVP case. He currently sits at +250 to take the award, trailing only Bills quarterback Josh Allen (-350).

Moneyline: Ravens -3000, Browns +1200
Over/Under: 41.5 (Opened 42.5)
