NFL Wild-Card weekend for the 2023 season is in the books.Now we look ahead to an exciting slate of divisional round matchups.One game that bettors should circle is the contest between No. 7 seed and No. 1 seed at 8:15 p.m. ET Saturday on .Here's everything you need to know about the for the divisional round from a betting perspective the point spread, moneyline and the total (Over/Under).ADVERTISEMENT SATURDAYTexans @ Ravens (4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC)Point spread:Ravens -9 (Ravens favored to win by more than 9 points; otherwise, Texans cover)Moneyline:Ravens -426 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $12.35 total); Texans +329 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $42.90 total)Total:43.5 points scored by both teams combinedFINAL HOU 10 BAL 34 NFL SPREADTO WINTOTAL Houston Texans HOU +10.0 +364 O 44 Baltimore Ravens BAL -10.0 -481 U 44 Jason McIntyre:This line was 10, then Houston money drove it to nine before a syndicates release pushed this back up to 9.5. Ill have the Ravens in a teaser below the
Ross Stripling Jersey key numbers of seven and three.But I also think the rested Ravens could come out here and drop the hammer early on Houston, so Ill go with Baltimore first half -6.In all their biggest games this season, the Ravens have come out and gone to work early with dynamic game plans. And now, theyre as healthy as any team in the playoffs, with the looming return of tight end back. The only exception is , which is concerning since he played in Week 17 but didnt need to.The Texans, conversely, are very banged up, especially on the defensive line, which isnt ideal against a team that averaged 4.9 YPC (third) and a league-high 156 yards per game.Im pa sing on the full game because of backdoor cover potential, and yes, this helps me against the trend everyone is citing in the last three years as a 7-point favorite or higher is 1-8 against the spread (ATS).PICK: Ravens (-6) first half; to lead at halftime by more than 6 pointsPackers @ 49ers (8:15 p.m. ET, FOX and FOX Sports App)Point spread:49ers -9.5 (49ers favored to win by more than 9.5 points; otherwise, Packers cover)Moneyline:49ers -459 favorites to win(bet $10 to win $12.18 total);Packers+352 underdogs
A.J. Pollock Jersey to win(bet $10 to win $45.20 total)Total:50.5 points scored by both teams combinedFINAL GB 21 SF 24 NFL SPREADTO WINTOTAL Green Bay Packers GB +10.5 +377 O 50.5 San Francisco 49ers SF -10.5 -502 U 50.5 Geoff Schwartz:The Packers defense ranks 28th in defensive DVOA and 25th in EPA per play. Remember, Green Bay allowed 30 points to the Panthers in Week 16. Those 30 points were given up to a Panthers' offense that didnt score for the remaining eight quarters of the season.So with that, Im taking the 49ers team total over 30.5.The 49ers offense is well-rested and healthy after sitting out this past week, as S.F. enjoyed its first-round bye. I understand the risk of wagering on an offense that, at kickoff, will not have
Edwin Rios Jersey played a meaningful snap since before the new calendar year. However, I think the 49ers have a style of offense that doesnt start slow.They control the line of scrimmage with their rushing attack and design open receiving options early in games. This 49ers offense ended the season as the best squad in the NFL, and it just matches up well against the Packers defense.PICK: 49ers team total OVER 30.5 pointsSUNDAYBuccaneers @ Lions (3 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock)Point spread:Lions -6.5 (Lions favored to win by more than 6.5 points; otherwise, Buccaneers cover)Moneyline:Lions -278 favorites to win(bet $10 to win $13.60 total);Buccaneers+225 underdogs to win(bet $10 to win $32.50 total)Total:48.5 points scored by both teams combinedFINAL TB 23 DET 31 NFL SPREADTO WINTOTAL Tampa Bay Buccaneers TB +6.0 +232 O 49.5 Detroit Lions DET -6.0 -287 U 49.5 McIntyre:The side here is very difficult because Im not sure how this young Detroit team will handle the succe s of the first franchise playoff win since the Ice Age. Ben Johnson is getting inundated with job interview requests. And lets be real - the Rams rolled offensively (7.7 YPP) before struggling in the red zone (0-3).At the same time, the Bucs caught Philadelphia at the perfect time. No meant Todd Bowles could blitz a ton and leave his corners on islands. There was not much to worry about.But has been excellent when blitzed (64% completions, 13 TDs) this season. You have to get pre sure with four to beat Goff, and Im not sure Tampa can.These are the two best teams ATS this season (12-6). will not stop chucking, and the Lions secondary has struggled.I think the Over is probably the best bet, and Id lean to the Lions at -6.5.PICK: OVER 48 points scored by both teams combinedChiefs @ Bills (6:30 p.m. ET, CBS)Point spread:Bills 2
Yasmani Grandal Jersey .5 (Bills favored to win by more than 2.5 points; otherwise, Chiefs cover)Moneyline:Bills -147 favorites to win(bet $10 to win $16.80 total);Chiefs+122 underdogs to win(bet $10 to win $22.20 total)Total:45.5 points scored by both teams combinedFINAL KC 27 BUF 24 NFL SPREADTO WINTOTAL Kansas City Chiefs KC +2.5 +125 O 45.5 Buffalo Bills BUF -2.5 -148 U 45.5 Schwartz:Chiefs tight end is behind only Jerry Rice in playoff receptions, yards and touchdowns. He has always shined in big games and even last weekend with three
Dylan Floro Jersey uncharacteristic drops he caught seven pa ses for 71 yards.Kelce is not dropping three pa ses in Buffalo, especially considering the weather will be much better this weekend than it was when Kansas City hosted the Dolphins last week.The Bills will also be mi sing the defenders needed to guard Kelce in this game. Buffalo was mi sing four starters at linebacker and in the secondary against Pittsburgh, and then lost three more players in those two spots by the end of Monday night. I like Kelce over 5.5 receptions.PICK: Travis Kelce OVER 5.5 receptionsKeep checking FOX Sports for updates on the NFL's divisional round.
