Entering the ultimate week of the NFL season, there are still playoff spots and seeding scenarios to sort out in each conferences. But there are also a half-dozen win totals hanging within the balance, too.
Six teams still have a probability to money over or under on their preseason totals, lots of which gave the look of a virtual lock to go come what may just just a few weeks ago. Now, after 17 weeks of waiting, all of it rests on the outcomes Sunday.
Listed here are the six teams whose win totals are yet to be decided, together with each team’s record, preseason total and our prediction on which side will ultimately money:

Baltimore Ravens (10-6, 10.5 wins)
It’s hard to consider that this win total continues to be unsure after the best way the Ravens began the yr — becoming only the third team in NFL history to boast a double-digit lead in each of its first 10 games without ever trailing by double digits.
By some means, Baltimore won just seven of those games, and it’s an extended shot to beat the Bengals (-9) on Sunday with quarterback Lamar Jackson out again with a knee injury. Don’t count on this one cashing with Tyler Huntley under center.
Prediction: Under 10.5
Los Angeles Chargers (10-6, 10.5 wins)
Will the Chargers play their starters in Week 18? That can go a great distance toward determining which way their preseason total will find yourself.
Under bettors were in a fantastic spot when this team was .500 late within the yr, but a 5-1 run entering the sport Sunday against the Broncos (-3.5) has given latest life to over bettors. Ultimately, we expect the Chargers will pull this one out against a struggling Denver squad even when the regulars don’t get a full workload.
Prediction: Over 10.5
Miami Dolphins (8-8, 8.5 wins)
Our sincerest sympathies exit to anyone who bet the Over for the Dolphins’ preseason total, which looked like an absolute lock after a sizzling 8-3 start.
They’ve lost five straight since then, they usually’ll be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) for the all-important finale against the Jets (+3.5). With third-stringer Skylar Thompson set to begin against the team that flustered him earlier this yr, we don’t love Miami’s outlook.
Prediction: Under 8.5
Latest England Patriots (8-8, 8.5 wins)
The Patriots have rallied late within the season to offer themselves a probability of cashing the Over here — and an out of doors shot at securing the ultimate AFC wild-card spot, too.
Each rely on Latest England beating the rival Bills on Sunday, which looks like something price betting against. Buffalo still must win this weekend to secure higher playoff seeding, which leaves the Patriots as a mere speed bump of their way.
Prediction: Under 8.5
Washington Commanders (7-8-1, 7.5)
The Commanders’ season could be split into three distinct chapters: the Carson Wentz era, the Taylor Heinicke era and whatever the previous couple of weeks have been.
This group began 2-4 under Wentz before ripping off a 5-1-1 run under Heinicke heading into the bye week. They then fell apart amid a three-game losing streak, and I don’t have high hopes for rookie Sam Howell — who’s set to make his first-ever start on Sunday — to shock a Cowboys team that also has something to play for.
Prediction: Under 7.5
Carolina Panthers (6-10, 6.5 wins)
We’re going out on a limb here on the Panthers, who’ve won three of their last five games despite being underdogs in 4 of them and all three of their outright victories.
They’ll have to beat the Saints on Sunday to finish the late-season comeback for preseason over bettors, and while oddsmakers don’t love their probabilities of doing so, I’d expect interim coach Steve Wilks to have his team ready for one final statement win to shut out the yr.
