We got a Saturday double header in Week 18, and these games are winner take all. For the first game, it’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing the Carolina Panthers for the NFC South and the 4 seed. As for  the other game, the San Francisco 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks for the number one overall seed in the NFC as well as the NFC West title. 
Here are my plays for the NFL Saturday double header in Week 18.

Straights
Panthers +3 (-118)
While it’s really hard to trust in either the Panthers or the Buccaneers, I like that we can get the Panthers with three points here. I think that this will be a close game throughout, and this probably could even come down to a last-minute field goal. The Buccaneers have just been way too wild lately for me to trust them to take the three points. If I had to pick, I think the Buccaneers win, but the Panthers will cover. 
49ers +2.5 (-108)
While I am not a fan of this 49ers defense and the Seattle Seahawks have been a great road team this year, it is hard not to take the 49ers. This offense has been on fire these last couple weeks, and I think I just trust in Brock Purdy a bit more than I do Sam Darnold at this point. If Seattle comes out slow to start another half again, the 49ers could put up enough points to run away from them. This is a battle for the number one overall seed, so either of these teams could truly win. I’m going to take the 49ers to win this game at home, as a win means they could ride the home field all the way to the Super Bowl.
Props
Mike Evans over 54.5 receiving yards (-112)
With this being the most important Buccaneers game of the season, I look for Mike Evans to get involved a good amount. 
Brock Purdy rush over 14.5 yards (-112)
Brock Purdy has been using his legs a lot more these last couple of games. With this being the most important game of the season to this point, I expect for nothing to change and for him to scramble at least four to five times. 
Christian McCaffrey receiving over 47.5 receiving yards (-112)
While I don’t think the 49ers are focused on it, Christian McCaffrey is close to another 1000 yard receiving season. Regardless of that, I expect McCaffrey to get used a good amount in the receiving game.
George Kittle over 5.5 receptions (-112)
If George Kittle plays, I expect for him to get a good amount of targets. 
As for anytime touchdown scorers, I like: Rico Dowdle (+130), Mike Evans (+165), Sean Tucker (+260), Zach Charbonnet (+120), George Kittle (+155), and finally Jauan Jennings (+200).
