NFL Divisional Round: Odds, lines, and spreads

Texans at Ravens odds

Look-ahead lines had Baltimore as short as an 8.5-point home favorite for the Divisional Round but that spread climbed to -9.5 once the official schedule was set. However, some sharper books are down to Houston +8.5 on Monday evening. With Houston traveling to the East Coast, the Ravens do hold a solid home-field edge, especially given that Saturday’s forecast is throwing wind and cold at the Texans. This total opened at 46 points and is down to 45.5 at some shops in the first hour of action.

Packers vs 49ers odds

Sportsbooks didn't wait for Sunday's Wild Card contest to finish before posting odds on this Division Round matchup. With the Packers holding a big lead over Dallas in the third quarter, books opened the 49ers as 9.5-point home favorites against the Cheeseheads. Other markets started to open later in the game with San Francisco as big as -10. The total opened at 49.5 points and climbed to as high as 50.5 after the high-scoring finish in the Green Bay win.

Buccaneers at Lions odds

The look-ahead lines before Monday’s Wild Card game had Detroit as a 6-point favorite versus Tampa Bay. When the smoke cleared from all the cannon fire in Raymond James Stadium, the market saw some books opened Lions -5.5 and some open -6.5. The total on the look-ahead line was as low as 46.5 points but with the Bucs pouring on the points in the win over the Eagles, oddsmakers puffed up that Over/Under to 48.5 with some places going to 49 points.  

Chiefs at Bills odds

The look-ahead markets ranged from Buffalo -2.5 to -3 before the final of the Bills’ win over the Steelers on Monday. The official spread hit the board at Bills -2.5 with some sportsbooks dropping to -2 and others offering an expensive +3 on the Chiefs. Due to bad weather bumping Buffalo’s Sunday game to Monday, the Bills have to play on a shorter week this Sunday, with Kansas City getting an extra day off due to its Wild Card win on Saturday. The total opened at 46 points and is as short as 45 points at some select spots.
