NFL Week 18 Vegas contest picks: Top spread selections from Las Vegas contest expert

The moment we've all been waiting for -- Week 18 of the NFL regular season marks the final week of 2025 Las Vegas football contest season. Truly, millions of dollars are on the line as it all comes down to this week – a week tens of thousands of people had visions of being a part of some five months ago when signing up for these contests over the summer.

Only six of what was 10 entries came away successful in Week 17 of Circa Survivor. These six will now compete for one final week, seeking at least a share -- if not the entire -- $18.7M prize. The inherent value of that $1,000 entry one purchased over the summer is now over $3.1M. Having used 17 individual teams to make it this far, it is pretty slim pickings at this point as far as what teams these contestants still have available to use in this final and decisive week.

The six remaining entries in Circa Survivor go by the following team names: Dylan W, Gary A, Juicy Kewchi, Kick Your Knees Up, Partz1, and Real Bro.

Of the Week 18 favorites, Juicy Kewchi has Atlanta, Minnesota and the 49ers. They have come out publicly and said they will be using the Vikings to beat the Packers. Green Bay will be starting Clayton Tune at quarterback and Minnesota has moved to as high as a 9.5-point favorite. Dylan W has Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay available. Gary A has Atlanta, Tampa Bay and New England, who is better than a 10-point favorite at home, hosting the Dolphins. Kick Your Knees Up has the most options available with the Falcons, Bears, Bengals, Vikings, Eagles and Buccaneers. Partz1 has Atlanta, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay. Real Bro has Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Jacksonville.

My guess is that the picks will go as such:

• Dylan W: Falcons
• Gary A: Patriots
• Juicy Kewchi: Vikings
• Kick Your Knees Up: Bengals
• Partz1: Bengals
• Real Bro: Jaguars

CEO and Owner of Circa Sports, Derek Stevens, has made it readily available for those remaining in these situations to open up seven-figure lines of credit at the Circa Resort. Certainly there will be players that will have their Survivor selection and will then want to bet massive amounts of money on the other side – just in case their contest pick loses. Circa is also kind enough to put up a "Tie or No Tie" market. In Circa Survivor, if your selected team for the week ends its game in a tie, it counts as a loss and thus, you're eliminated from the contest. If one is truly covering all the possible scenarios and guaranteeing themselves a profit, then the game ending in a tie market must be addressed as well.

No matter what, it will be one wild Sunday in the NFL at Circa Resort & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas with life-changing money hanging in the balance.
