NFL divisional round picks: Will top seeds continue on to title games?

Lynch is going off at -125 to rush for OVER 85.5 yards according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The UNDER 85.5 rushing yards line is set at -105. Lynch is going off at 3/1 to finish this weekend's action with the most rushing yards, but is behind DeMarco Murray at 2/1 on this prop bet.

Aaron Rodgers (3/1), Tom Brady (5/1), Tony Romo (7/1) and Joe Flacco (9/1) are expected to compete for the top spot in yardage, while Russell Wilson (20/1) and Cam Newton (25/1) are longshots.

Clock's ticking for Manning, Brady to win another ring; playoff storylines

​Dez Bryant had a disappointing game last week with only three catches and 48 receiving yards. He will try to bounce back this week when Dallas visits Green Bay and is going off at 6/1 to finish the Divisional Round with the most receiving yards on the week's NFL playoff betting props at the sportsbooks. Other favorites include Demaryius Thomas (15/4), Jordy Nelson (11/2), T.Y. Hilton (6/1), Randall Cobb (7/1) and Rob Gronkowski (7/1).

New England, Seattle, Denver and Green Bay, who earned first-round byes, are each two wins away from advancing to the Super Bowl. Will one of these four teams win the Super Bowl? “Yes” is the favorite at -500, while the “No” card of Baltimore, Indianapolis, Carolina and Dallas pays +350. Bettors can also bet on whether a team will come back from trailing at the half to win a game this weekend, with “yes” favored at -250 over “no” at +170.
