Moneyline

  • Texans +285

  • UNDER 43.5 (-115)

Chiefs fans will feel confident heading into this matchup. These two teams played not long ago on December 21st with the Chiefs winning in comfortable fashion with a final score of 27-19. Kansas City will be well-rested in this game with their starters getting two weeks off ahead of the Divisional Round.

The last time these teams played in the postseason was in the Wild-Card Round of the 2019-2020 season. The Texans got off to a 24-0 lead early in the first half but the Chiefs stormed back to win by a final score of 51-31.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

Spread

  • Ravens +1.5 (-115)
  • Bills -1.5 (-105)

Moneyline

  • Ravens -105
  • Bills -115

Total

  • OVER 52.5 (-110)
  • UNDER 52.5 (-110)

People may forget the Ravens and Bills faced each other in Week 4 of the regular season Baltimore steamrolled Buffalo, beating them by a final score of 35-10. Not only was the final score lopsided, but the Ravens averaged a blistering 7.9 yards per play throughout the game.

Will we see a similar outcome in the Divisional Round? It's important to note the rematch is in Buffalo whereas the Week 4 meeting was in Buffalo.

Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions Odds

Spread

  • Commanders +8.5 (-108)
  • Lions -8.5 (-112)

Moneyline

  • Commanders +390
  • Lions -520

Total

  • OVER 55.5 (-110)
  • UNDER 525.5 (-110)

Washington is the first lower seed to advance to the divisional round, kicking a field goal (that doinked in) as time expired.

The Commanders have opened up as 8.5-point dogs in the divisonal round, but they are 5-2-1 against the spread as underdogs this season.

Detroit is coming off a bye and hoping to be a little bit healthier after some injuries late in the regular season. Oddsmakers are buying the Lions in this matchup, not only setting them as favorites in this game, but as the favorite to win the Super Bowl this season as well.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

Spread

  • Rams +6.5 (-110)
  • Eagles -6.5 (-110)

Moneyline

  • Rams: +215
  • Eagles: -265

Total

  • OVER 45.5 (-105)
  • UNDER 45.5 (-115)

The Rams dismantled the Vikings on Monday night, but they find themselves as road underdogs against a stout Eagles defense in the divisional round. Philly dominated the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love on Sunday, and Jalen Hurts is now a perfect 3-0 straight up and against the spread at home in the playoffs in his career.

That being said, the Rams improved to 6-4 against the spread as underdogs this season, although Sean McVay’s squad is just 1-2 as a road underdog. There is Super Bowl experience on both sides, which should make this an interesting matchup.
