We're down to the final week of the 2025 regular season. Playoff teams are figuring out whether to play their starters or go with backups to avoid key injuries. So, what's the motivation for clubs eliminated from postseason contention?

However Sunday night, the 272nd and final game of the regular season, will have winner-take-all stakes as the archrival Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vie for the AFC North title in the latest installment of their border way. The loser goes gets nothing.

Winners of five of their last seven, the Dolphins have rallied after an atrocious start (2-7). Miami is looking to finish strong and avoid their first 10 loss season under Mike McDaniel. Rookie Quinn Ewers has supplanted Tua Tagovailoa as QB1. He has thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions in his two starts under center.

Experts from around the NFL make their picks for a Week 18 game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

The stakes are high in NFL Week 17, and Geoff Schwartz is back with his best bets, featuring a few squads that are eyeing the postseason.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Carolina Panthers on Saturday with the NFC South title on the line in NFL Week 18. If Carolina (8-8) wins, they will be crowned division champs, but the Bucs (7-9) need a victory and a Falcons loss to win a tiebreaker and claim the title.

If the Panthers defeat the Buccaneers, they secure the NFC South and a playoff spot. Tampa Bay needs a win and a Falcons loss to New Orleans to advance.
