NFL Picks ~ Week Eighteen

Hello and welcome to a special Thursday edition of Tuesdays with Swindy. Happy New Year! It's week eighteen in the NFL, and that means it's garbage time! Only a real degenerate would bet the NFL games this week, right? Well, some of us make the picks on every single game, every week, so here I am. With some teams who are playing backups, several teams with nothing to play for, and other teams still fighting for their playoff positions, it's a tricky week, to say the least. However, I'm on pace for one of my best seasons ever (at least, since I lost my old paper records from 2005 and prior), so just as I've been doing every week for nearly 30 years, here are my picks against the spread for every game:
