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. I think the Jaguars and Titans score some points in this game, and the Jaguars take advantage of Josh Dobbs being the quarterback for the Titans. 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 teams competed Saturday for the first time since Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.

Doctors had to resuscitate Hamlin on the field and he was lifted off the ground in a stretcher after being worked on for 15 minutes. The foundation raised money and bought toys for children impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and his foundation distributed the toys at a local daycare center in December 2020. The NFL Players Association named Hamlin its Week 18 Community MVP following the millions of dollars that have been donated to his foundation’s GoFundMe page this week. The response on the field was immediate, as Bills medical personnel rushed to his aid and stabilized his head and neck. There was no comment when asked about Hamlin’s long-term prognosis and the doctors said it’s “entirely too early” to have a conversation about whether or not Hamlin can play professional football again. After Hamlin collapsed, he received one defibrillation and one round of CPR on the field. He didn’t receive a second in the ambulance or at the hospital. “Going into this game, this being the first game played since that incident, it was heavy on my heart,” Jones said. He was unable to speak while still using a breathing tube. Guys were able to go out there and enjoy it and have fun again.” But obviously, with the situation that happened on Monday night with Damar, you still have that in the back of your mind, not him going down but you just want to be there for him. “It’s a game that you love and that you’ve played your entire life and you’ve had so many great moments.

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.

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 insider Ian Rapoport revealed great contract news for Damar Hamlin, but it reminded the football world of an ugly truth about the league.

It’s obviously great news that Hamlin will receive the full extent of his salary this season. However, sources say Buffalo has worked out an agreement with the NFL and NFLPA to pay him in full.” “This week, he was placed on IR.

The conversation was never characterized as a job interview for Carolina's head coaching job.

Carolina fired head coach Matt Rhule five weeks into the regular season.

The Tennessee Titans can secure a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft if everything goes right Sunday. Here's your rooting guide.

If the Jets and Browns lose, the Titans should get the No. If either or both of those teams win, the Titans will most likely carry tiebreaker advantages in both cases, but even with lost tiebreakers the Titans can pick no higher than 12th. Tiebreakers: The Browns' enter Week 18 with a .520 strength of schedule. The Steelers need a lot of help, but they'll still be incentivized to win. If both teams finish with 7-10 records, the Titans will almost certainly be picking ahead of them. the Jacksonville Jaguars](https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2023/01/08/joshua-dobbs-fumble-tennessee-titans-nfl-playoffs-2022-jacksonville-jaguars/69767810007/) on Saturday, causing the Titans to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Depending on how Sunday goes, it's conceivable that either the Titans or Saints finish with the worse strength of schedule. Rooting interest: Root for the Panthers. (The Broncos and Rams have already traded their picks to the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, respectively.) From there, there are four games of consequence for the Titans. In an event where multiple teams finished with the same record, the better pick is given to the team that played an easier schedule. Thanks to their seven-game losing streak to end the season, the Titans finish with a 7-10 record and are in position to claim a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, somewhere the Titans haven't picked since 2017.

The final AFC wild-card spot will be claimed during the early afternoon games, when the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers play to ...

“To get an opportunity to go play in the playoffs. 1 seed in the AFC conference on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. “It’s hard to sum up this season and what we’ve been able to do,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence told ESPN. If the Bills win against the Patriots and make it to the AFC Championship game, along with the Chiefs, the game will be played at a neutral site. Kansas City will have a first-round bye in the playoffs and can secure the AFC Championship at home if the Buffalo Bills lose to the New England Patriots on Sunday. On the field, the Chiefs cruised to a 31-13 victory over the Raiders, leading from start to finish, and clinched the No.

Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn sent a memo to all clubs to vote against the proposal that was eventually approved, according to ESPN's Seth Wickersham.

The AFC playoff picture is complete. Check out the final seeding and Wild Card Round matchups following the Patriots' Week 18 loss to the Bills.

The win by Buffalo means that a neutral-site AFC Championship is still in play and that will happen if the Bills and Chiefs end up meeting in the AFC title game ...

If the Packers beat the Lions on Sunday night, they'll be headed to the playoffs. 1 seed if the 49ers also lose to the Cardinals. The Seahawks are currently in the seventh-spot, but they're going to need some help to actually make the playoffs. 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. On the other hand, the 49ers could drop to the third-seed if they lose. If the 49ers win, then the Vikings will be locked into a wild-card game with the Giants. 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. If the Bills make it to the Super Bowl, they'll do it by playing home games in the wild-card and divisional rounds. To get in the postseason, the Dolphins needed a win over the Jets and a loss by New England, who was playing 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.

Jason Sanders kicked a go-ahead 50-yard field goal with 18 seconds left, helping the Miami Dolphins to their first playoff berth since 2016.

Kirk Cousins threw for 225 yards and a touchdown in the first half and watched the rest of the way as the NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings tuned up for the playoffs. Eddy Pineiro kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired, and the Carolina Panthers closed out their season with an opportunistic victory. But the Bengals’ chances at the No 2 seed in the AFC ended when Buffalo beat New England.
