Five NFL Wild Card Round games are set.
We’ll see some tight games, at least according to the oddsmakers, as three of the five early lines are around a field goal. Should be fun.
These lines are subject to change so be sure to check the real time odds here.
NFC Games
- Green Bay at Philadelphia (-3.5, 47)
- Washington at Tampa Bay (-3, 51)
We have already seen the line on the Packers-Eagles game move from Philadelphia -3.5 to -5 with both Jordan Love and Christian Watson both left the game against division rival Chicago with injuries.
Love says he lost feeling in his throwing hand before leaving Sunday’s regular-season finale, but he added that his injury shouldn′t impact his availability for the playoffs.
Love said after Green Bay’s 24-22 loss to Chicago that he was told it shouldn′t be a lingering issue and that it should go away by the time the Packers open the postseason. As the No. 7 seed in the NFC, the Packers (11-6) will play a wild-card game next Sunday at Philadelphia (14-3).
“It’s feeling better,” Love said.
Coach Matt LaFleur said Love could have returned to the Bears game if necessary. Love was taking warmup tosses on the sideline after backup quarterback Malik Willis hurt his hand late in the game.
AFC Games
- Denver at Buffalo (-8.5, 47.5)
- Pittsburgh at Baltimore (-9, 45.5)
- Los Angeles (-3, 44) at Houston
Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers will enter this year's playoffs on a four-game skid, hence the +9 spread versus division rival Baltimore.
“I think the best thing we can do is get ready for the playoffs,” Wilson said. “It’s a new season. That’s the only thing that really matters anymore at this point.”
Pittsburgh locked up a playoff berth weeks ago. The Steelers are the third team in NFL history to enter the playoffs on a four-game skid.
“We need to play winning football and we’re not doing that right now,” linebacker T.J. Watt said. “We need to wipe the slate clean. We’re in the tournament now and we need to play better football.”
