Scoring Name of Game in Week 18 AFC West Prop Picks
Can I have a show of hands of who thought the AFC West would be way better this season than what it actually was? The Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers all felt like perfect futures picks for Super Bowl LVIII.
Now though, with the Chiefs showing a rather sad face, a lackluster offense, and the only real excitement in their games coming from Taylor Swift showing up, it feels as if most of the division is glad the season is coming to an end.
With the Chiefs heading out to LA and the Broncos playing the Raiders in Vegas, let’s break down the top NFL prop bets for these two Week 18 AFC West games.
Here’s a look at some Vegas NFL odds to consider!
Betting on Davante Adams Never a Bad Idea
It will be a cold day in hell when I speak poorly of Raiders star WR Davante Adams. In a season where Las Vegas has gone from football hell to some kind of peace and quiet, Adams has always been this team’s best weapon.
Coming into this weekend’s game against Denver after posting 100+ receiving yards in two of his last three games, including 126 yards and two TDs against the Colts on New Year’s Eve, Adams is the kind of player that could make a plethora of teams in the league Super Bowl betting favorites in a second.
As the season comes to an end for both teams and with Las Vegas looking to finish out strong, I say go all in for Adams having at least one, if not more than one TD, and the Raiders scoring one last home win on Sunday.

PS: Davante, if by any chance you read this before next season, please go to the New York Jets. Pretty please. Asking for a friend here.
NFL Pick: Davante Adams To Have 1 TD and LVR To Win (+211)
Take Denver’s Under In Scoring As Offense Flakes Once Again
I said it earlier in the week when I did my pick piece on the Raiders vs Broncos game and I’ll say it again. Denver’s offense can be cataloged as underwhelming at best. If you put me on the field right now I’d have a better chance of running up the score than the Broncos.
Between that and Las Vegas’ defense going through a sort of resurgence as of lately, becoming one of the best in the league in the past few games, I honestly can’t see the Broncos scoring more than once on Sunday.
With the odds slated at +113 in this team prop, to this day, this continues to be one of the best NFL bets for week 18, especially for a game that feels like an afterthought at best.
NFL Pick: Denver Broncos Under 1.5 Total TDs (+113)

Bet Over on Chiefs TDs 1.5 (-132)
Since we’re all about reminiscing and going back to some great stuff I wrote earlier in the week which you should definitely be checking out, in my Chiefs vs Chargers pick piece I spoke about how KC desperately needs its offense to find some sort of pop and try to look menacing once again.
It’s not going to be easy. Especially with Patrick Mahomes, a perennial NFL MVP odds candidate sitting this game out along with most of the team’s starters. But playing against a Chargers team that is in desperate need of this season being over, I say take this Chiefs prop for its over in total TDs.
At the end of the day, it’s not like LA is going to come out swinging and playing their best football. If it had done that, the team would probably be heading to the playoffs right now.
So in short, if you want a prop bet to ride with on another game that feels like an afterthought, go with KC showing some flashes of life on offense as it starts thinking about the playoffs.
