The NFL postseason is right around the corner, leaving critical games scattered throughout the Week 18 NFL schedule. Buffalo lost four times in a six-game stretch from the end of October to the end of November, but it has won four straight games to set up an AFC East-deciding matchup against Miami on Sunday night. The Bills, who cruised to a 48-20 win over the Dolphins in Week 4, are 3-point road favorites in the Week 18 NFL odds from SportsLine consensus. Should you include them in your Week 18 NFL parlay picks?

Top Week 18 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the New Orleans Saints (-3.5) to cover at home against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon. Atlanta has been one of the best teams to fade this season, covering the spread just four times in its last 15 games. The Falcons have also struggled against New Orleans in recent years, winning just three of the last 12 meetings between the NFC South rivals.
The Saints have won three of their last four games to stay in contention for the division title, scoring at least 22 points in all four of those contests. Quarterback Derek Carr had 319 yards and three touchdowns against the Rams two weeks ago, and he finished with 197 yards and two touchdowns in an efficient performance against Tampa Bay last week. Atlanta’s passing attack sits near the bottom of the league, so the model has New Orleans covering the spread in well over 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
