Nate Tice and Charles McDonald join forces to preview three of the NFL’s biggest Week 18 games. Nate and Charles are lost in three games with major playoff implications, starting with whether Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can overcome their recent woes to win the NFC South and defeat the Carolina Panthers (with a little help from the New Orleans Saints). Next, the pair will cover the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers as they battle for the No. 1 seed and NFC West title. Can the Seahawks defense slow down red-hot Brock Purdy? Nate and Charles wrap up Sunday night’s AFC North matchup, with the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Baltimore Ravens, to see which veteran quarterback can lead their team into the playoffs.
