2024-25 NFL Odds for Wild Card Weekend

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Texans -3
• Opening moneyline: Texas TBA/Chargers-Steelers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 44
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (11-6 SU/12-5 ATS) moved up to the No. 5 seed with its Week 18 victory. The Chargers topped Las Vegas 34-20 laying 7 points on the road.

L.A. has won three in a row SU and is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games.

Houston (10-7 SU/11-6 ATS) has the No. 4 seed as the AFC South champion. In Week 18, the Texans topped Tennessee 23-14 catching 2.5 points on the road.

The SuperBook opened Chargers-Texans at L.A. -3 (even) tonight in the NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market. Since then, there's been only a juice adjustment to Chargers -3 flat.

"This will be a big decision for the books. We have already taken a lot of money on the Chargers -3 and expect the public to heavily back them all week," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Houston is limping into the postseason, but we expect to get a good effort out of them. They should be used to this time slot by now."

Indeed, the Texans are making a habit of being in the first game of Wild Card Weekend.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: If the Chargers lose at Las Vegas Sunday, then Pittsburgh gets the No. 5 seed and heads to Houston. If L.A. beats the Raiders, then the Chargers are the 5 seed and travel to Houston.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -9.5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens TBA/Steelers TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (Prime)

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: It'll be Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore for a third time this season. The Steelers fell from the fifth seed to No. 6 with their loss to Cincinnati, coupled with the Chargers' win over the Raiders.

The Ravens and Steelers split their regular-season meetings, with the home team winning and cashing each time.

Baltimore opened a hefty -9.5 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Wild Card odds market. There's been no movement yet.

"I think you’ll see some books protecting against the obvious Ravens/Bills teasers," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "There will be a lot of moneyline parlays this weekend, and they will all include Baltimore.

"I don’t think I’m ready to root for Russell Wilson on my Saturday night. That does not sound like a good time."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Baltimore (12-5 SU/10-6-1 ATS) clinched the AFC North and No. 3 seed, while also covering the largest point spread of the season. The Ravens closed as 19.5-point favorites vs. Cleveland and rolled to a 35-10 victory Saturday.

Derrick Henry's 43-yard touchdown run with 3:04 remaining got the Ravens across all numbers, including their peak of -20.5.

So Baltimore has its spot on the NFL Wild Card Weekend odds board. Next up for the Ravens: A home date with either Los Angeles (10-6 SU/11-5 ATS) or Pittsburgh (10-7 SU and ATS).

The Steelers fell to the Bengals 19-17 as 2.5-point home underdogs Saturday night. If Los Angeles wins Sunday at Las Vegas, then Pittsburgh heads to Baltimore next week. If the Chargers lose, then L.A. travels to Baltimore.

Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -9
• Opening moneyline: Bills TBA/Broncos TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver (10-7 SU/12-5 ATS) did what was expected against a Kansas City team resting its starters. The Broncos rumbled to a 38-0 victory as 11-point home favorites.

Buffalo (13-4 SU/10-7 ATS) had the No. 2 seed wrapped up prior to Week 18. The Bills lost to New England 23-16 giving 3.5 points on the road. That halted a 10-1 SU/8-3 ATS stretch for Buffalo, but again, it was a meaningless game.

The SuperBook opened Buffalo -9 tonight in NFL Wild Card Weekend odds.

"I'm surprised to see this game in the early Sunday time slot. Same deal as the Ravens game, we have to protect against teasers," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Everyone will be expecting Baltimore and Buffalo to advance to a showdown the following week."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Denver (9-7 SU/11-5 ATS) has the clearest path to the AFC's No. 7 seed. If the Broncos beat Kansas City – which is resting its key players – then they are in.

But if Denver loses, then the door opens for Cincinnati (9-8 SU/10-6 ATS) and Miami (8-8 SU and ATS). The Bengals need a Denver loss and Miami to lose or tie at the New York Jets. Miami needs to beat New York and have Denver lose to K.C.

Buffalo (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS) awaits one of those three teams, as do bookmakers setting NFL Wild Card Weekend odds. The Bills won the AFC East and are the No. 2 seed, win or lose Sunday at New England.

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles TBA/TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 46 points scored
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Green Bay (11-6 SU/9-8 ATS) was a 10-point home favorite vs. Chicago, with plenty to play for. If the Packers won, they'd be the No. 6 seed and avoid a first-round game at Philadelphia.

But the Packers were dealt a stunning 24-22 loss on a final-seconds field goal. Further, Jordan Love suffered an elbow injury that led to him exiting the game.

Philadelphia (14-3 SU/11-6 ATS) was already locked in at No. 2 prior to its Week 18 game at the New York Giants. Still, the Eagles won 20-13 as a 3-point favorite.

Philly opened -4.5 vs. Green Bay in The SuperBook's NFL odds Super Wild Card Weekend market.

"This looks like the best game of the weekend. There should be a lot of support both ways," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "There could be a lot of moneyline liability to the Eagles here, depending on how the AFC playoff games and the College Football Playoff semifinal games go."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Washington (11-5 SU/10-5-1 ATS) and Green Bay (11-5 SU/9-7 ATS) are tied and could remain so after Sunday. Both teams are trying to dodge the No. 7 seed and a date with Philadelphia next week.

The Commanders have the inside track for the No. 6 seed, holding the tiebreaker over the Packers. So if both teams win or both lose Sunday – Washington is at Dallas, Green Bay hosts Chicago – then Green Bay is the No. 7 seed and visits Philadelphia.

If Green Bay wins and Washington loses, then it's Commanders vs. Eagles in the NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market.

Philadelphia (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS), locked into the No. 2 seed, is resting key players Sunday against the New York Giants. The Eagles won the NFC East.

Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -3
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers TBA/Commanders TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 50.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: In Week 18, Washington held its position as the No. 6 seed. The Commanders (12-5 SU/10-6-1 ATS) edged Dallas 23-19, failing to cash as 7-point road favorites.

Tampa Bay (10-7 SU and ATS) was a hefty 14.5-point home favorite vs. New Orleans in Week 18. But the Bucs got all they could handle from the Saints. Tampa trailed 16-6 at halftime, but rallied for a 27-19 victory, clinching the No. 3 seed.

Commanders-Buccaneers opened at Tampa -3 in The SuperBook's NFL's Wild Card odds. Within a couple hours tonight, the Bucs adjusted to -3 (-120).

"The baffling Sunday Night Football game," SuperBook vice president John Murray said, alluding to his desire for a more attractive prime-time matchup. "I expect this to be a good two-way game. It does not seem like a game we will be heavy to either side on."

Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -2
• Opening moneyline: Vikings TBA/Rams TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Monday (ESPN)

UPDATE 11:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota (14-3 SU/11-5-1 ATS) tied for the second-best record in the NFC, and the entire league, for that matter. But the Vikings ended up the No. 5 seed and on the road next weekend.

In a battle for the NFC's No. 1 seed, Minnesota tumbled 31-9 as 3-point road underdogs to Detroit on Sunday night.

No. 4 seed Los Angeles awaits the Vikings. The Rams rested several players in Week 18, even with a chance to get the No. 3 seed. L.A. lost to Seattle 30-25 as 7.5-point home underdogs.

Here's our best NFL betting sites as the Vikings visit the Rams on MNF in this Wild Card matchup!

The SuperBook opened Vikings-Rams at Minnesota -2, with no early movement.

"I think this one will be a big need for us, and I expect us to be big Rams fans," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "The Vikings got humbled on Sunday Night Football, but there’s not much shame in losing at Detroit.

"I think Minnesota will be a big public side to close out what should be a huge five-day weekend, with eight marquee games."

Indeed, the College Football Playoff semis – Notre Dame vs. Penn State on Thursday, Ohio State vs. Texas on Friday – lead into the six-game Wild Card Weekend.
