The NFL wraps up the 2025-26 regular season this weekend as Week 18 will finalize the 2026 playoff bracket and the first 18 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. We’ll see an assortment of teams resting players in preparation for the playoffs, as teams without a chance at a bye are looking to get ready for next weekend’s Wild Card round.

The Las Vegas Raiders are on the clock. Following the New York Giants' upset win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18, the Raiders officially secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Raiders were able to secure the No.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the New York Giants on Sunday, the first loss they experienced against the Giants since the season finale of another lost season in 2020. It was back then that the Cowboys were lost at sea as they had missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons and were in sore need of establishing a new identity.

The Cowboys’ defense improved from Week 2, but the Giants’ offense took advantage and looked like the best team in the league in another end-of-season victory when the draft was the leading storyline.
