We've reached the final week of the NFL regular season, and there's still plenty to play for. Two heated rivalries will have a new chapter written tonight, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers face off to determine who will win the NFC South and secure the number four seed in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers will meet with the NFC West title and the number one seed in the NFC on the line. According to the NFL, this is only the fourth time in NFL history that two teams will face each other in the final week of the regular season, with the winner guaranteed the number one seed.

The action won't stop on Saturday night either, as bitter AFC North rivals, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, will play for the division under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football. The loser, of course, will need to sort out their plans for the next nine months.

These battles will be huge hits on our favorite sports betting sites. While you're there, you can find all of the latest NFL odds and take advantage of some juicy deals tied to this game and the holiday season.

NFL Game Lines

Seattle Seahawks - San Francisco 49ers Over 47.5 (-110)

🏈 Odds via FanDuel  📈

The line on this game has shifted dramatically since the week began, as the 49ers have moved from a 4.5-point favorite to a 2.5-point underdog. The O/U has also moved up three points, from 44.5 to 47.5.

This game is slated to be one of the best games of the entire season, especially considering that these two teams absolutely hate one another and are playing for that all-important first-round bye.

Both of these offenses are electric, and they should put on a phenomenal show tonight. Hit the over.

Carolina Panthers ML @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+128)

🏈 Oddsvia DraftKings 📈

Have you watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lately? They have been criminally bad, losing seven out of their last eight games, including the 23-20 defeat to the Carolina Panthers two weeks ago.

We all know the Panthers aren't really that good and that the winner of this game will likely get bounced from the playoffs in pretty quick fashion, but who would have thought they'd be playing for a postseason berth this season? We love a good fairy tale.

Player Props

Mike Evans Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

🏈 Odds via FanDuel  📈

Mike Evans needs 667 receiving yards to keep his 1,000+ yard streak alive. Obviously, barring about 10 records being simultaneously broken, that's not happening.

However, with this being a virtual playoff game, Evans doesn't have to keep an eye on his injury tonight. He'll have nine months to recover, so he'll be pushing himself to the absolute limit. Smash this over.

Cade Otton Over 18.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

🏈 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 📈

Can somebody tell us why his prop is so low today? Anybody?

Sure, he had one of his worst games of the season against Carolina last time out, a 2/15/0 effort, and has been on a bit of a slump since Mike Evans came back. But 18.5 is an extremely low number, and Otton is still a 500+ yards per season tight end. Take the over, and we encourage you to take higher numbers here.

Tetairoa McMillan 70+ Receiving Yards (+124)

🏈 Oddsvia DraftKings 📈

Tet McMillan is about to play the biggest game of his young life, and he's 71 yards short of 1,000 receiving yards in his rookie season. After last week's unbelievably sad 1/5/0 stat line, we're banking on the young stud to show up today.

Last time against Tampa Bay, he went for 6/73/1. We're confident that he'll put up virtually the same exact line today.

Christian McCaffrey 150+ Rushing + Receiving Yards (+235)

🏈 Odds via FanDuel  📈

Biggest game of the season, a chance to get a full week of rest and home-field advantage through the entirety of the postseason. Do you think Christian McCaffrey is going to lay an egg? We can't imagine so.

Plus, he's only 110 receiving yards away from his second-career 1,000/1,000 season. He probably won't, but he's done it three times in his career, so it's not out of the question. He'll probably have this in the back of his mind.
