Oddsmakers expecting close wild-card games in NFC with all three point spreads under 4½ points
The NFL’s wild-card weekend features divisional rivals facing off, two NFC rematches from Week 1 and the Harbaugh brothers coaching on the same day.
Next the Packers visit the Eagles in a rematch from the season opener in Brazil. Philadelphia won that one, 34-29. The spreads for the three NFC games are under 4½ points, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The AFC has the two largest spreads.Justin Herbert’s only playoff game ended with the Chargers blowing a 27-0 lead against the Jaguars in the wild-card round two years ago. He’s got a different cast around him featuring rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey and a run game led by J.K. Dobbins.
The Chargers are an NFL-best 12-5 against the spread, including 7-2 on the road. Houston is 7-8-2 ATS, including 1-5 as an underdog and 0-2 straight up as a home underdog.Pittsburgh at Baltimore Russell Wilson and the Steelers are skidding into the playoffs after losing four straight games to end the season.
The Ravens were the first team in NFL history to pass for at least 4,000 yards and run for at least 3,000. But Baltimore might be without Pro Bowl wideout Zay Flowers because of a knee injury. Barkley, who ran for 2,005 yards in 16 games to lead the league’s No. 2 run offence, will be facing a strong run defence. Green Bay allowed just 99.4 yards per game on the ground.
