It’s time to finish strong.
Last week, I went 14-2 straight up — but only 8-8 against the spread. Simms was 13-3 and 10-6, respectively.
I’ve got a three-game straight-up lead, at 178-78-0. Simms is 175-81-0.
Against the spread, I’m now 143-108-5 and he’s 129-122-5.
In Week 18, we disagree on two games straight up and six against the spread.
For all of our Week 18 picks, scroll away.

Bears at Packers (-10)
