While the Chiefs have the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up, there is plenty to play for in the final week of the NFL regular season.

One playoff spot is available in both conferences, and there are seeds at stake throughout the schedule.

Let's go game-by-game to identify which teams have something to play for in Week 18 and how those motivations could affect betting and daily fantasy football decisions.

Click here for a look at player contract incentives and milestones heading into Week 18.

Ravens vs. Browns Playoff Scenarios

The Ravens need a win to lock in the No. 3 seed. The Browns have been eliminated from the playoffs.

This first game of Week 18 is pretty simple.

If the Ravens win, they lock up the AFC North as well as the No. 3 seed in the playoffs.

If they lose, they can still win the division and No. 3 seed with a Steelers loss later on Saturday to the Bengals — Cincinnati is favored — but we should expect the Ravens to go all out to win this game and secure a home playoff game.

From a fantasy perspective, the concern is Cleveland's ability to make this a competitive contest, especially since they have an incentive to lose and maintain draft position.

It would not be surprising if the Ravens put this away early and get to rest their starters at some point in the second half.

Dorian Thompson–Robinson has a 4.0 yards per attempt average with 0 passing touchdowns and 3 interceptions over his two most recent starts.

A quarterback change could make things more interesting, but no matter who starts for the Browns, getting a competitive game script that forces the Ravens to push on offense will be a concern.

That said, Lamar Jackson‘s push for another MVP could convince the coaching staff to give him a little more time in the game than they otherwise would.

Betting Line: Ravens 18-point home favorites over Browns

This line reflects both the Ravens' motivation to win this game and the sorry state of the Browns, especially on offense.

As noted above, Cleveland's ability to push the Ravens enough to have them try in the second half is a concern.

Steelers vs. Bengals Playoff Scenarios

The Steelers need a win for a chance at the No. 3 seed or to maintain their hold on the No. 5 seed. The Bengals need a win and losses by both the Broncos and Dolphins to secure a playoff spot.

This is a perfect Saturday night Week 18 game because no matter what both teams have something on the line.

Even if the Ravens win on Saturday afternoon, the Steelers will need a win to lock in the No. 5 seed and a more favorable Wild Card matchup against the Texans.

Mike Tomlin would never explicitly say that, but he did tell reporters he does not anticipate resting his players.

The Bengals will not know their playoff fate before kickoff, which means they will also go all out to win this game.

The 48.5-point total reflects the need for both teams to push along with the defensive issues on the Cincy side of the ball.

These teams combined for 82 points back in Week 13.

Russell Wilson threw for 414 yards in that game, the second-highest game total of his career.

Betting Line: Bengals 1.5-point road favorites over Steelers

The Bengals do have more to play for because the Steelers already have a playoff spot locked up, but it is still interesting to see Cincinnati favored in this game.

Pittsburgh is on a three-game skid, but those losses came to the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs.

The Steelers beat the Bengals in Cincinnati back in Week 13, and the Bengals' wins since then have come against the Cowboys, Titans, Browns, and Broncos.

Bucs vs. Saints Playoff Scenarios

The Bucs need a win to lock up the NFC South and retain a chance for the No. 3 seed. The Saints have been eliminated from the playoffs. 

This is a pretty easy situation.

The Bucs need a win to lock up the division and at least the No. 4 seed.

Tampa can still get the No. 3 seed if they win and the Rams lose in the afternoon window, and that is an enticing possibility with the loser of Lions vs. Vikings awaiting the No. 4 seed.

The Seahawks are favored over the Rams in that game, so it is not out of the question the Bucs end up as the third seed.

Like with the Ravens above, the question will be the Saints' ability to push the issue and create and high-scoring game environment.

New Orleans continues to leave open the possibility of both Derek Carr and Chris Olave playing in Week 18.

That feels unlikely, but the return of either would help the potential game environment.

Betting Line: Bucs 13-point home favorites over Saints

This line reflects the motivation imbalance on both sides.

It also reinforces the possibility the Bucs could still rest starters at some point in the second half if the game gets out of hand.

Falcons vs. Panthers Playoff Scenarios

The Falcons need a win and a Bucs loss to earn the No. 4 seed. The Panthers have been eliminated from the playoffs.

With the Bucs playing at the same time, the Falcons will push as hard as possible to win this game.

Unlike some of the other motivation imbalances above, though, the Panthers have been good enough on offense recently to push Atlanta and make this a game, and coach Dave Canales said the team plans to play their starters.

The 47.5-point total reflects that possibility, and the last two Panthers games have featured 66 and 62 points, though Carolina only contributed 14 of their own to that second total.

This looks like a game to target for Week 18 DFS.

Betting Line: Falcons 8-point home favorites over Panthers

While the Panthers have been more competitive recently, they were just smacked by the Bucs for their sixth away loss of the season.

Add in the motivation imbalance, and this line makes a lot of sense.

Cowboys vs. Commanders Playoff Scenarios

The Commanders are locked into the playoffs but need a win to secure the No. 6 seed. The Cowboys have been eliminated from the playoffs.

While it might look like the Commanders have little to play for, the difference between the No. 6 seed and No. 7 seed is big given the state of the NFC playoffs.

The sixth seed means a matchup with the Rams, the Bucs, or the Falcons.

The seventh seed means a trip to Philadelphia.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn has already said his team will “fight like hell” to get that No. 6 seed.

On the other side, the Cowboys have nothing to play for and were just blown out by the Eagles, but they did beat the Bucs the week before and gave the Bengals a tough game at home in Week 14.

Betting Line: Commanders 4.5-point road favorites over Cowboys

While the Cowboys had been playing tough before last week, this line was originally set low at 3.5, perhaps with the expectation the Commanders would not go all out to win.

It has moved, and it would not be surprising to see it move further if it becomes clear Washington will play their starters.

Packers vs. Bears Playoff Scenarios

The Packers are locked into the playoffs but need a win and a Commanders loss to secure the No. 6 seed. The Bears have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Like with the Commanders, there is a big advantage to getting the No. 6 seed, and the Packers should go all out to get it.

That said, while these games are played at the same time, the Packers could scoreboard watch to make some rest decisions in the second half if it looks like Washington will win.

On the other side, Bears coach Thomas Brown said they will play every healthy veteran.

Even so, the Packers' success late in the season has come on the back of the running game, which should be effective against this Bears defense.

That type of success would likely depress scoring and create a bad fantasy situation for the Packers passing game even if Green Bay is pushing for the win.

*Update: Josh Jacobs said he will play, but he does not expect to take “that many carries in this game.”

Betting Line: Packers 8.5-point home favorites over Bears

Before scoring 3 points against the Seahawks, the Bears lost by 17 points to the Lions, 18 points to the Vikings, and 25 points to the 49ers.

Add in the motivation imbalance, and this line looks right.

Patriots vs. Bills Playoff Scenarios

The Bills are locked into the No. 2 seed. The Patriots need a loss to maintain the No. 1 overall pick.

This is an odd Week 18 game in that the Bills have nothing to play for and the Patriots would benefit from losing.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Josh Allen, who is trying to beat out Lamar Jackson for MVP, will start but play limited snaps.

Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said everything is in consideration when asked about sitting Drake Maye, who had a concussion scare against the Chargers.

The uncertainty around this game prevents any full stacks, but Ray Davis should be a popular DFS play if the Bills look likely to rest their starters later in the week.

Back in Week 6, he handled 20 carries for 97 yards against the Jets.

The Patriots are 28th in yards per carry allowed to running backs this season.

Update: Drake Maye is expected to play in Week 18, though he is listed as questionable.

Betting Line: Bills 2.5-point road favorites over Patriots

The uncertainty about Buffalo's starters makes this a stay away, especially since Patriots players — and potentially Mayo depending on what he has heard about his job status — are not as motivated to complete the tank as the front office.

Titans vs. Texans Playoff Scenarios

The Texans are locked into the No. 4 seed. The Titans have been eliminated from the playoffs.

There is not much to play for on either side here.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said the Texans plan to play everyone, but it would not be a surprise if the starters, especially names like C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, and Nico Collins, get taken out of this game early.

On the other side, the Titans coach Brian Callahan said both Will Levis and Mason Rudolph will get snaps in Week 18, so there is that.

Tennessee also has motivation to lose this game and maintain their current No. 2 overall pick, though as always the players are unlikely to be as invested in the tank since they are playing for their next contract.

*Update: Will Levis will start for the Titans in Week 18. 

Betting Line: Titans 1-point home favorites over Texans

If Ryans is telling the truth and the Texans plan to play their starters, this line offers a lot of value to to the Texans side.

It is more likely, however, that we see the Texans take it easy as they get ready for the first round of the playoffs.

Eagles vs. Giants Playoff Scenarios

The Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed. The Giants have been eliminated from the playoffs. 

Our first real nothing game of Week 18.

The Eagles' playoff seeding is set, and the Giants have nothing to play for except draft position, which they already kind of screwed up last week.

Saquon Barkley is chasing history, but ESPN's Adam Schefter does not expect the Eagles to chase that mark.

“I would be floored if Saquon Barkley is on the field this weekend. Floored,” Schefter said. “He’s not going to be out there.”

*Update: coach Nick Sirianni confirmed neither Jalen Hurts nor Saquon Barkley will play in Week 18.

Betting Line: Eagles 3-point home favorites over Giants

The Giants just played the game of their season last week, so perhaps they have enough in the tank to beat a second-string Eagles squad if that is how this plays out.

Still, this feels like a stay-away situation.

Colts vs. Jaguars Playoff Scenarios

The Colts and the Jaguars have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Another game with no motivation on either side.

The Jaguars might want to lose to break away from the pack at 4-12 and improve their draft position if possible.

On the Colts' side, it is unclear who will start at quarterback with conflicting reports about the severity of Anthony Richardson‘s back injury emerging on Monday.

*Update: Anthony Richardson will not play in Week 18.

Betting Line: Colts 5-point home favorites over Jaguars

The Colts are better than the Jaguars and are playing at home.

That is enough to explain this line, but it takes a leap of faith to put money on either side in this matchup.

Broncos vs. Chiefs Playoff Scenarios

The Broncos need a win to lock up the No. 7 seed. The Chiefs are locked into the No. 1 seed.

Denver faces a win-and-in game against a Kansas City team expected to rest key starters as they head into the playoffs.

Things get more interesting if the Broncos lose, with both the Bengals and Dolphins able to knock them out of the playoffs.

Denver will know the Bengals' result before kickoff, but Miami is also playing in the late window.

On the Chiefs' side, they are expected to rest at the very least their injured starters, a list that includes Patrick Mahomes (ankle), Chris Jones (calf), and Isiah Pacheco (ribs), if not a lot more.

Depending on how much information we get before kickoff, that should create some value opportunities in DFS, but Kansas City's offense has not been a hotbed for fantasy points even with Mahomes starting.

*Update: coach Andy Reid confirmed Carson Wentz will start in Week 18 along with several other backups.

Betting Line: Broncos 9.5-point home favorites over Chiefs

The Broncos have everything to play for, and the Chiefs probably will not play their starters.

Not much more to say.

Jets vs. Dolphins Playoff Scenarios

The Dolphins need a win and a Broncos loss to secure a playoff spot. The Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs. 

The Broncos being such large favorites over the Chiefs, who are likely to rest starters, does limit some of the suspense in this game, but the Dolphins are technically still alive for the playoffs.

Tua Tagovailoa sat out last week because of a hip injury, however, and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tyler Huntley will get more first-team snaps than Tagovailoa this week, suggesting the Dolphins do not expect their starter to play.

On the other side, Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers will start the season finale as he looks for his 500th career touchdown pass.

That does provide some motivation on New York's side, but they have looked ready for the offseason for a long time.

Even with the playoff implications for the Dolphins, this could be a tough watch.

*Update: On Friday, coach Mike McDaniel said the team is preparing as if Tyler Huntley will start in Week 18.

Betting Line: Dolphins 1-point road favorites over Jets

This line would likely be more tilted to the Dolphins with a healthy Tagovailoa, but his uncertainty creates a risky betting environment.

Raiders vs. Chargers Playoff Scenarios

The Chargers could get the No. 5 seed with a win and a Steelers loss. The Raiders have been eliminated from the playoffs.

We will know a lot more about the Chargers' motivations on Saturday night.

Los Angeles can still move into the No. 5 seed and a more favorable matchup against the Texans, but that can only happen if the Steelers lose on Saturday.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said the team would “love to be the fifth seed,” but he also added they would “do what's best for the team,” indicating the starters will sit if the No. 5 seed is no longer in play.

Even if the Chargers push, this does not project to be a great fantasy environment given the Raiders' struggles on offense and the way the Chargers want to win, but Las Vegas does offer a great matchup for some key players.

Betting Line: Chargers 6-point home favorites over Raiders

This line could move in either direction based on what happens with the Steelers on Saturday night.

It will be something to watch.

Rams vs. Seahawks Playoff Scenarios

The Rams need a win to lock up the No. 3 seed. The Seahawks have been eliminated from the playoffs.

This game was potentially set up as the NFC West decider, but things fell right for the Rams in Week 17, and they have the division locked up.

On Monday, coach Sean McVay indicated the Rams will rest their starters like they have in the past, though that is a curious decision given the circumstances this year.

The Rams need to win to lock up the No. 3 seed, and there is a material difference between playing the Commanders or Packers — they will know before kickoff — and playing the Lions or Vikings, teams competing for the No. 1 overall seed.

Of course, if the Bucs lose in the early window, the result of this game will not matter either way.

McVay's history and quotes mean we should expect them to rest, but it does not really make a lot of sense.

*Update: Coach Sean McVay confirmed Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams will not play in Week 18.

Betting Line: Seahawks 3.5-point road favorites over Rams

This line reflects the expectation McVay will rest his starters.

Cardinals vs. 49ers Playoff Scenarios

The Cardinals and 49ers have been eliminated from the playoffs.

This is another game where neither team has much to play for, which makes it difficult to figure out which team will play hard.

The Cardinals are a younger team with a less established coach who might be looking to finish the season strong, although they have lost five of their last six games after being in control of the division.

The 49ers have dealt with injuries all year, watched Brock Purdy leave early on Monday night, and might just be looking to get out of the season.

Both of those are guesses, though, highlighting the difficulty of projecting this game.

*Update: Brock Purdy is not expected to play in Week 18.

Betting Line: Cardinals 3.5-point home favorites over 49ers

This line was 49ers as 1-point road favorites before Monday night, but Purdy's elbow injury changed the equation.

Lions vs. Vikings Playoff Scenarios

The winner between the Lions and Vikings will win the NFC and get a first-round bye. The loser will be the No. 5 seed.

It does not get much easier than this.

The winner of this game gets the No. 1 seed and the coveted first-round bye.

The loser has to travel to face either the Bucs or Rams depending on how the seeding shakes out.

All hands should be on deck for this one.

Betting Line: Lions 2.5-point home favorites over Vikings

The Lions are at home and beat the Vikings in Minnesota way back in Week 7, but their defensive injuries could hamper them here.

Detroit has allowed a league-worst 7.2 yards per play over the last two weeks.
