Sports betting: NFL playoffs point spreads for divisional round
All of the home teams are favored, so save those dog masks. And by the way, the Eagles' loss generally hurt Vegas bookmakers.
As expected, all four road teams for next weekend’s divisional round are underdogs, with Seattle the lowest of the four.
The WestGate SuperBook in Las Vegas opened the Seahawks up as 3.5-point underdogs to Green Bay. In the other NFC semifinal, the 49ers were laying 6.5 points to visiting Minnesota.
The spreads are higher in the AFC, with the Ravens at -9.5 to Tennessee and the Chiefs also at -9.5 to the Texans.
WestGate also posted the following updated Super Bowl odds: Ravens 9-5; 49ers 7-2; Chiefs 7-2; Packers 7-1; Seahawks 14-1; Vikings 18-1; Texans 30-1; Titans 30-1.
The Seahawks were the last team to advance, beating the Eagles, 17-9, on Sunday in a game that generally hurt the Vegas bookmakers.
“Great day,” Caesars Palace oddsmaker Alan Berg told Patrick Everson of Covers.com. “Would have been epic with an Eagles win.”
