NFL Week 18 picks against the spread: Can Russell Wilson, Steelers right the ship?
Briefly

Most of the games this week do not have playoff implications, which of course means there will be a lot fewer bets. Teams like the Steelers are still fighting for a division title or better playoff seeding, making their games critical even in Week 18.
Russell Wilson has been a surprisingly great fit with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers this season but has fallen off of late with three straight losses, showing inconsistencies that will likely affect his free agency prospects.
Wilson has 15 touchdown passes in 10 starts, and that's more than the Steelers had in each of the last two seasons, highlighting the significant improvement he has brought despite his turnover issues.
Tomlin mentioned that Wilson needs to cut back on turnovers, and he absolved receiver George Pickens of blame for a costly interception, emphasizing the challenges Wilson has faced in maintaining performance under pressure.
