NFL Week 18 betting trends​

Saturday


* Panthers at Buccaneers (-2½, 44): The Panthers won and covered the first meeting by a narrow 23-20 margin and are on a 6-2 under run. The Bucs have lost seven of their last eight overall while going 0-8 ATS. They’re on a 6-4 under run. Edge: Panthers and under.

* Seahawks (-1½, 48) at 49ers: The Niners have won and covered seven of the last eight meetings, including a 17-13 win at Seattle in Week 1. San Francisco has won and covered six straight overall and is on a 6-2 over run. The Seahawks are 7-1 straight up and ATS on the road this season. Edge: 49ers and over.

Before the season started, a BetMGM bettor in Nevada wagered $50,000 to win $3 million on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl (60-1) and $50,000 to win $1.4 million on Seattle to win the NFC (28-1).

The Seahawks will be in the optimal position to make a title run if they beat the 49ers on Saturday to secure the NFC’s top playoff seed.


Professional sports bettors Cris Zeniuk and Jeff Whitelaw and legendary sportscaster Brent Musburger made Seattle (-1½) their weekend best bet.

“The San Francisco offense has been scary while going two games without punting, and it’s off an impressive win over a legitimate Bears team,” said Zeniuk (@lasvegascris), who recommends the Seahawks on the money line (-118). “Flip side is their defense has been a turnstile to the end zone for opposing teams, and their impressive offensive performances have been against some weak defenses.

“Seattle has a big boy defense that is one of the best, and their offense is right up there as well. Seattle is more than a field goal better than a San Francisco team lacking the depth it needs.”

Musburger, on a 19-10-1 against the spread run in the Review-Journal NFL Challenge, said he thinks the Seahawks’ run game could be the difference.

“In the last two weeks, the Seahawks have rushed for 171 yards and 163 yards against the Rams and Panthers,” he said. “I’m backing running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet to lead the Seahawks to the No. 1 seed in the NFC.”

Seattle ranks second in the NFL in scoring offense (29.4 points per game) and scoring defense (18.1 ppg allowed), while the Niners have allowed 29.7 ppg in their past three.

“The 49ers defensively have just been playing atrocious,” Whitelaw said. “Seattle is a more complete team.”
