NFL Tips: Saturday’s 20/1 Multi-Match Bet Builder doubleheader for Week 18
We head into Week 18 of the NFL season, and many teams are vying for playoff berths and seedings.
Andrew Cunneen is aiming for the endzone with a doubleheader Mixed Match Bet Builder, looking to follow up on his 14/1 winner on Monday night.
Let’s get into Saturday’s games…

9:05pm – Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore (-17.5)
Baltimore have a straightforward task. They win, and they’re the division winners. Claiming the AFC North also hands you the #3 seed means you likely come up against the #6 seed.
The irony here is that, based on this Bet Builder, it’s most likely to be a playoff matchup against their divisional opponents, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, 17.5 points is up there with the highest spreads in the league, but you need to remember one thing – one team here needs to win, and the other just came off a game that saw them put up three points against Miami.
They’re checked out. They’ve no plan. Apart from, somehow, bringing Deshaun Watson back in 2025. Nobody in the building wants that, so the vibes are off.
The only saving grace potentially might have been a home game, as playing a divisional rival at home demands some degree of pride.
Well, in Baltimore, with nothing to play for and nothing to be optimistic about? Playing against the most physical team in the NFL? Yeah, I don’t foresee them getting within 18 points.
Under 41.5 points
And due to that quick math, it’s also incredibly clear to me that backing the overs here would be madness. They’ll pull their starters as soon as Baltimore lead by four scores.
So, while we might think the Ravens can score many points, the earlier they do it, the less likely points will follow. The later they do it, the less time there is to add more.
Seems instructive, right?
Cleveland might not get ten here.
1:01am – Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Cincinnati to win
The Bengals felt inevitable even when they lost in hilarious ways in the season’s early stages. Joe Burrow is playing at an MVP level, and nobody wanted to rule them out, even when they were four games back in the playoffs.
Well, a win here and a combination of Denver and Miami losses gets them in. They’ve turned a corner and would be one of the most dangerous teams in the league should they make it that far.
And while the opposition here is of a higher calibre, Pittsburgh have lost their last three games by a combined deficit of 50 points.
Does that sound like a team ready to achieve anything to you? Their ticket to the postseason is punched, and the only thing they can gain from winning here is the #5 seed instead of the #6 seed.
While I admit that’s desirable, I no longer believe they are a better team than Burrow’s Bengals.
Mike Gesicki anytime touchdown
Tee Higgins landed a hat trick last week. Ja’Marr Chase is the best receiver in football. And yet, what is the most notable stat line from last week’s win over the Broncos? Force-feeding ten targets to Mike Gesicki.
When teams have to account for two freak athletes at the receiver position, it’s always best advised to find your security blanket.
Chase Brown was that guy for most of the season, but Denver chose to cover him instead of Gesicki last week.
This week? Brown is banged up, and Gesicki shows amazing efficiency on third down. Fire him up.
