2024-25 NFL Odds for Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -120/Ravens even
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5
• Time: 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Two hours ahead of kickoff, the Ravens are -1 (-115) on BetMGM's NFL Divisional Round odds board. The Bills opened -1.5 last Sunday, and on Monday, the line jumped the fence to Ravens -1.5, then -1.

From there, Baltimore stuck at -1 all week.

"This is our best two-way action game of the year, spread and moneyline. There's no concern with who wins for us," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

When accounting for futures liability, there is a preference.

"We would want the Bills to advance," Davis said.

There's a need on the total, as well. Straight bets and money are solidly on the Under, likely due to cold weather/possible light snow. But with parlays and single-game parlays etc., Davis said BetMGM still needs the Under tonight.

The total has been painted to 51.5 pretty much all week, and it's currently 51.5 (Over -115).

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Bills opened -1.5 in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL odds Divisional Round market. But early action saw this line jump the fence to Ravens -1/-1.5.

Most of the action has come with the number at Ravens -1, where Baltimore is seeing 55% of tickets and Buffalo is drawing 73% of money.

"It's a fair statement to say this is the biggest game of the year," Fanatics trader Ethan Useloff said.

The total opened at 51.5, peaked at 52 and bottomed out at 51. It's now 51.5 on two-way action. It'll be cold Sunday night, no question, with temperatures likely in the teens, winds of 10-15 mph and a 40% chance of a little snow.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: This matchup has a short point spread, so it's pretty easy to jump the fence. That's what happened at Borgata Sports and elsewhere, with the Ravens now 1-point favorites after opening as 1-point underdogs.

"This has been the most heavily bet game of the weekend slate, in what is essentially a coin-flip game," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "This game will stay around a pick 'em. We have a little more money on Buffalo, but no real decision.

"Nor do I really expect to have one, unless we see a few really heavy bets come in on one side."

Borgata's total is stable at 51.5.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo (14-4 SU/11-7 ATS) led Denver just 10-7 at halftime of their Wild Card tilt. But the Bills put the hammer down in the second half, rolling to a 31-7 victory as 7.5-point home favorites.

Josh Allen & Co. lost to New England 23-17 in Week 18, but that was a meaningless game for the Bills. Subtract that result, and Buffalo is on an 11-1 SU/9-3 ATS spree.

This afternoon, The SuperBook opened Ravens-Bills at Buffalo -1.5 in NFL Divisional Round odds.

"We quickly moved down with the market and were briefly sitting at pick ’em before going back up to Bills -1," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Great game on paper. Hopefully, it will be in that late Sunday time slot.

"We think these are the two best teams in the NFL. Baltimore is power-rated higher. That's why they are only getting 1 point on the road. Buffalo is a place we do give a home-field advantage to."

It's a rematch of a Week 4 clash, in which Baltimore rolled to a 35-10 home victory laying 2.5 points.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Baltimore (13-5 SU/11-6-1 ATS) is riding a five-game SU and ATS streak into the AFC Divisional Round. In Wild Card play tonight, the Ravens built a 21-0 halftime lead vs. Pittsburgh en route to a 28-14 win as 8.5-point home favorites.

Derrick Henry ran roughshod over the Steelers, finishing with 186 yards and two touchdowns. Up next for Baltimore is either Buffalo or Houston.

The Bills are 9-point favorites vs. the Broncos. If Buffalo wins, then Josh Allen & Co. host Baltimore in the Divisional Round.

If Denver pulls a big upset, then Houston travels to Baltimore next week.

In-Progress NFL Divisional Round Games

Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -300/+250
• Opening total: Over/Under 45
• Time: 3 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With two hours until kickoff, Philly is laying 7 points in BetMGM's NFL Divisional Playoff odds. The move from Eagles -6.5 to -7 came today, on a line that opened -6 and toggled between -6/-6.5 a couple times during the week.

"Game-wise, we want the Rams. But an Eagles-Commanders NFC Championship Game would do big handle numbers. Better than Rams-Commanders," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "So a low-scoring Eagles win is probably the best outcome."

The total opened at 45.5, spent most of the week at 43.5, then bottomed out at 41.5 Saturday afternoon. It's since rebounded to 43. Light snow is expected during the game, along with wind of 10-15 mph.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Two days from kickoff, the Eagles are 6-point home favorites in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Divisional Round odds. Philadelphia opened -4.5 and got as high as -6.5.

"The market is so firm at 6 flat," Fanatics trader Ethan Useloff said, while noting spread tickets are running dead even at Eagles -6, while Philly is seeing 64% of spread money. That includes straight bets and parlays.

The moneyline is a different story: 72% of tickets and dollars are on the Eagles. Parlays are a key component to that action, as is Pennsylvania being a key market for Fanatics.

"It's a fan base that can bet in its home state, and it's a huge state for us," Fanatics trader Ethan Useloff said.

The total opened at 44.5 and is now 43.5. At the lower number, the Over is taking 65% of tickets/56% of cash.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Philly hit Borgata Sports' NFL Divisional Round odds as 5.5-point chalk and quickly climbed to -6.

"Even at -6, we have continued to see Eagles money. But that is somewhat expected here," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said, alluding to his book's proximity to Philadelphia. "The Eagles were our worst result last weekend, and this will probably be lopsided once again come kickoff.

"But it’s early, so no need to go higher yet."

The total dipped from 45.5 to 44.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Los Angeles (11-7 SU/10-8 ATS) was supposed to have a home game, ended up with a neutral-site game and was a 2.5-point underdog. But the No. 4 seed Rams made it work, rolling over No. 5 Minnesota 27-9.

L.A. is on a 6-1 SU and ATS run, with a trip to Philadelphia up next. Thirty minutes ago, The SuperBook opened Rams vs. Eagles at Philly -6.5, and the line dipped to -6 within a few minutes.

"We took respected money on the Rams +6.5. But I think there will still be more Eagles tickets and money," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "I can only imagine the amount of parlays and teasers involving the Chiefs, Lions and Eagles."

The total opened at 45, quicky dipped to 44.5 and was then bet down to 43.5.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (15-3 SU/12-6 ATS) didn't exactly light it up on Wild Card Weekend. Nor did it need to, as the Eagles' defense stifled Green Bay throughout. Philly notched a 22-10 victory laying 5.5 points at home.

The Eagles are 13-1 SU/10-4 ATS in their last 14 outings.

It's not yet determined who Philadelphia will face next. The only certainty is that it won't be Washington, which at No. 6 is the lowest remaining seed. The Commanders beat Tampa Bay tonight, so they'll travel to Detroit.

Philly will face either the Los Angeles Rams or Minnesota Vikings.

Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -10.5
• Opening moneyline: Lions -700/Commanders +500
• Opening total: Over/Under 56 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 7 P.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, the Lions are -8.5 in BetMGM's NFL odds Divisional Round market. Some sportsbooks are at Detroit -8 and even -7.5.

The Lions opened -7.5, sped to -8.5 last weekend and topped out at -9.5 this morning. Detroit then backtracked to -9/-8.5.

"It's two-way action on the spread and moneyline for straight bets. But all the parlays will have Lions moneyline. So go Commanders," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

The total spent most of the week at 55.5, save for just a few minutes late Sunday night at 54.5. Davis said BetMGM needs the Under, as always.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Fanatics Sportsbook opened the Lions -7.5 and quickly went to -8.5 on its way to -10. Detroit heads into Friday night at -9.5.

At 9.5, factoring in both straight bets and parlays, 55% of tickets are on the Commanders, while 65% of cash is on the Lions.

"It's two very passionate fan bases, and it's two areas where we are live. Michigan is a huge state for us, and we're live in Maryland and the D.C. area," Fanatics trader Ethan Useloff said.

Moneyline play, again including straight bets and parlays, is seeing 82% of tickets/93% of dollars on Detroit.

"I would say a lot of folks are parlaying all four games. Bettors think of this one as the surest thing you can get," Useloff said.

The total spent most of the week at 55.5, but had brief stays at 54.5 and 56.5. At 55.5, 67% of money is on the Under, while ticket count is dead even.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Detroit sits at -9.5 midweek in Borgata Sports' NFL Divisional Playoff odds, after opening -8.5.

"I’m not sure this spread gets to 10. But if it does, it certainly won’t last long. There will be immediate buy-in on the Commanders at that number," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total is a bigger mover, climbing from 53.5 to 55.5. 

"Obviously, this is an extremely high total. But with this game being played indoors, and two very good offenses with average defenses, I’m not surprised we have seen all Over money thus far," Gable said.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: On Sunday night, BetMGM opened the Lions at -8.5 (-115), and the line went through a few juice adjustments earlier today. By late afternoon, Detroit advanced to -9 in NFL Divisional Round odds.

BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton gave a snapshot of how early action is coming in on the Las Vegas Strip.

"A few more tickets and a little more money on the Lions, but not a lot there yet. But even if we don't need the Commanders in the game, we will need the Commanders due to futures book liability on the Lions," Shelton said.

The total opened at 55.5, briefly went to 54.5 late Sunday night, then returned to 55.5.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Washington (13-5 SU/11-6-1 ATS) went to Tampa Bay as a 3-point underdog Sunday night and emerged with its first playoff victory in 19 years. The Commanders clinched a 23-20 win when Zane Gonzalez's final-seconds field goal doinked off the upright and through the goalposts.

Detroit (15-2 SU/12-4-1 ATS) is rested and ready for the Divisional Round. The Lions won and cashed in their last three outings, including a 31-9 Week 18 victory over Minnesota as 2.5-point home favorites.

That win clinched the No. 1 seed for Detroit, which is a superb 14-1 SU/11-4 ATS in its last 15 outings.

Bucs-Lions opened with Detroit a hefty 10.5-point home favorite in The SuperBook's NFL Divisional Round playoff odds. That number lasted about eight minutes tonight before the Lions dipped to -9.5.

Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs 8.5
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -500/Texans +400
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 2:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Less than two hours before kickoff, the Chiefs are laying 9 points in BetMGM's NFL Divisional Round odds. Kansas City opened -7.5, toggled to -8 a couple times early in the week and went to -8.5 Tuesday.

The bump to Chiefs -9 came this morning.

"It's looking like one-way traffic on K.C. -9 at the moment. The public and sharps are on the Chiefs today," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said. "We're gonna need the Texans to cover +9 at the very least. Texans outright would kill basically every chalk parlay to start the weekend.

"But again, a cover here from Houston would be great."

BetMGM opened the total at 42.5 and spent the week bouncing between 42.5/42/41.5. The total is now 41.5, and the need is no surprise for a standalone game.

"We'll almost always be rooting for an Under in the NFL. Sharps bet this down from 42.5 to 41.5, but that hasn't deterred the public from taking the Over.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Kansas City is out to -8.5 in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Divisional Playoff odds, up a point from the -7.5 opener.

"There's a lot of Chiefs money because of the fact that it's running through parlays, as well," Fanatics trader Ethan Useloff said.

And K.C. is popular on the moneyline, too, again due to parlay play to kick off the weekend. Fanatics is seeing 84% of moneyline tickets and dollars – combining straight bets and parlays – on the Chiefs.

The total opened at 42.5 and is now 41.5. At 41.5, the Over is netting 70% of tickets/62% of money. It's worth noting that it will be chilly Saturday in K.C., with a high of 25 and winds of 10-20 mph.

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports, a BetMGM shop in Atlantic City, opened the Chiefs -8 and is now -8.5 in NFL Divisional Round odds.

"It's been mostly Chiefs money so far, but all public money," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "No one really believed in the Texans last weekend, and their win was the second-best result of the weekend for us, when they beat the Chargers.

"We will probably need the Texans again, to at least cover this number."

The total is down a tick, from 42.5 to 42.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver's loss to Buffalo sends No. 4 seed Houston to Kansas City for the second time in four weeks. In Week 16 on Dec. 21, the Chiefs were 3.5-point favorites and beat the Texans 27-19.

For the rematch, Kansas City opened a hefty -8.5 just a few minutes ago in The SuperBook's NFL odds Divisional Round market. The first move was toward Houston, with the Chiefs dipping to -8 within 20 minutes.

Here's our best NFL betting sites for the Texans vs Chiefs this weekend!

But there will be no shortage of K.C. support next weekend.

"There will be a lot of moneyline parlays and teasers starting with the Chiefs," SuperBook vice president John Murray said.

The total opened at 42.5 and nudged to 42.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: No. 4 seed Houston (11-7 SU/12-6 ATS) surprised many bettors, blowing up a lot of moneyline parlays in the opening Wild Card game. The Texans were up 10-6 at halftime, but ultimately rolled over the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12.

Houston was aided by a third-quarter pick-six, and the Texans also blocked an extra point and ran it down the field for another 2 points. The Texans cashed as 2.5-point home underdogs, halting a 1-3-1 ATS slide.

Kansas City (15-2 SU/8-9 ATS) is coming off a well-earned bye. The Chiefs had nothing to gain in Week 18, so the 38-0 loss at Denver was meaningless. K.C. rested a lot of key players, as evidenced by being a 10.5-point underdog.

Prior to that, the Chiefs were on a 6-0 SU run, covering in the last three of those games, after an 0-7 ATS slide.
