Tremendous Wild Card Weekend options some rematches, just a few fascinating matchups and even “Monday Night time Soccer” within the postseason. Listed here are some early betting angles.
Saturday
Raiders vs. Bengals (-6.5, 49.5)
The Raiders outlasted the Chargers, regardless of blowing a 15-point fourth-quarter lead within the closing sport of the common season. The Bengals rested nearly everyone in a loss to the Browns. Cincinnati wound up the No. 4 seed and the Raiders moved all the way in which to No. 5 with the win. You’ve acquired an indoor crew heading east throughout three time zones to play in what seems like a cold Cincinnati on Sunday. Hold a detailed eye on this line.
Patriots at Payments (-4.5, 43.5)
It is a rematch between AFC East rivals who break up through the common season. New England received outright as a 3-point underdog on a horrendous climate day in Buffalo and the Payments completely whipped New England within the revenge sport as a 1-point pup. Now the 2 groups meet within the playoffs. Early traces at some books confirmed Buffalo -4, because the shine got here off the Patriots late within the season, however a whole lot of bettors will give Invoice Belichick the good thing about the doubt. We’ll see the place this line goes, however my guess is that you simply’ll have sharp teams on either side and it could not transfer a lot.
Sunday
Eagles at Buccaneers (-8.5, 49)
These two groups performed earlier this yr in Philadelphia and the Bucs had been a landing favourite. The sport ended 28-22 Tampa Bay, however the Bucs led 28-7 and outgained the Eagles 399-213. On the time, the loss dropped the Eagles to 2-4, so they're a greater crew now, however nonetheless a large underdog. The Bucs opened -7 at DraftKings and now sit larger than that, and the upgraded line might be nearer to the place it must be.
49ers at Cowboys (-3, 50.5)
That is in all probability essentially the most fascinating sport to me with two contrasting kinds. The Cowboys are very balanced, however lean towards the passing sport, whereas the 49ers rely heavy on the run. San Francisco gained a whole lot of respect for coming again towards the Rams, however I'm wondering if this line is a tad low cost. Jimmy Garoppolo remains to be banged up and the Cowboys have a ton of weapons on offense, which is one thing the 49ers haven’t seen so much. Dallas is vulnerable via the air, however perhaps not as a lot on the bottom.
Steelers at Chiefs (-12.5, 46.5)
The Steelers shouldn't have the profile of a playoff crew, with a unfavourable yards per play differential and a really ugly level differential, so we get an enormous line right here. These two groups performed not too long ago and Kansas Metropolis was a double-digit favourite within the midst of a COVID outbreak and received 36-10. It’s actually laborious to see this sport going otherwise, although some early cash has hit Pittsburgh.
Monday
Cardinals at Rams (-4, 50.5)
One other week of disappointment for the Cardinals, who stepped up towards the Cowboys, however then struggled mightily towards a Seahawks crew enjoying out the string. The Rams misplaced, however a minimum of misplaced to a top quality opponent. We now have two knowledge factors within the 4/5 matchup within the NFC and the Cardinals received as a 4-point ’canine in LA and the Rams received as a 3-point ’canine in Arizona. This line seems a tad wealthy, however speaks to how the Cardinals have appeared down the stretch and it's laborious to belief them.
