NFL Playoff Odds 2025: Early Lines for Wild Card Games and Super Bowl Bracket

Three of the six NFL wild-card round matchups possess point spreads of four points or less.

The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are the two biggest favorites on the wild-card round point spread at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are expected to lead their respective teams to big victories on Saturday and Sunday.

Both No. 5 seeds, the Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings, opened as road favorites against the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams.

No. 7 Denver at No. 2 Buffalo (-8.5) (Sunday 1 p.m. ET, CBS)

No. 6 Pittsburgh at No. 3 Baltimore (-9.5) (Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, Prime Video)

No. 5 Los Angeles Chargers (-3) at No. 4 Houston (Saturday. 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS)

The Chargers being a 2.5-point favorite on the road stands out the most among the three point spreads in the AFC.

The highest-seeded wild-card team finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak in which its offense eclipsed the 30-point mark in each contest.

Houston looked outclassed against both the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens and ended the regular season with a 3-3 mark in its final six games.

The Texans have also dealt with a slew of injuries on offense all season and the concern for the wild-card round is that the Chargers will take away Joe Mixon and/or Nico Collins.

Baltimore and Pittsburgh are trending in opposite directions, so it makes sense why the Ravens are a 9.5-point favorite despite it being a divisional matchup in the postseason.

Pittsburgh is on a four-game losing streak and it failed to score more than 17 points in any of those defeats.

The Buffalo Bills are a significant favorite over Denver because of their home-field advantage and significant edge in playoff experience.

Josh Allen and Co. are not expected to falter at home, but you could make a case that Bo Nix could keep Denver close in his first NFL playoff start.

No. 7 Green Bay at No. 2 Philadelphia (-5.5) (Sunday, 4:30 p.m. ET, Fox)

No. 6 Washington at No. 3 Tampa Bay (-3) (Sunday, 8:15 p.m. ET, NBC)

No. 5 Minnesota (-1.5) at No. 4 Los Angeles Rams (Monday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN)

Minnesota is favored against the Rams despite the rough Week 18 performance against Detroit.

The Vikings finished with four more victories than the Rams, but Los Angeles could be a popular underdog. The Rams won five straight from Weeks 13-17 to clinch the NFC West and they own the quarterback advantage with Matthew Stafford over Sam Darnold, at least in terms of postseason experience.

Philadelphia and Tampa Bay are reasonably-sized favorites at home.

The Eagles face a Green Bay team that was in the mix for the NFC North title for three months of the regular season.

However, the Packers come into Philadelphia banged up after Jordan Love and Christian Watson suffered injuries in Week 18.

The Eagles rested their starters on Sunday, so they will at least have the rest advantage over the Packers.

Philadelphia beat Green Bay in a high-scoring affair in Week 1, but the Eagles have tightened up their defense by holding eight of their last nine opponents under 20 points.

Tampa Bay was Sunday's biggest winner in the NFC because it got to avoid the Detroit-Minnesota loser by moving up to the No. 3 seed.

Washington still poses a tough matchup, but the Bucs have to love their edge in playoff experience against a rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels.

The Bucs beat the Commanders in Week 1 by 17 points, and while Daniels has gotten much better since then, Washington's defense still has some concerns.

The Commanders allowed over 300 total yards in eight of their last 10 games, a promising sign for Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and the Bucs offense.
