The 49ers stunned the defending Super Bowl winners on the road in the Wild Card Round. San Francisco travels again this weekend, visiting Seattle after losing to the Seahawks at home in Week 18. Look-ahead lines had Seattle -5.5, and the official opener came out between -6.5 and -7.5, with the Niners down TE George Kittle (Achilles). Market consensus has boiled down to a touchdown as of Monday morning. The total opened at 46.5 and quickly took Under money, down to 45.5 O/U across the industry as of this writing.

The Rams travel to Chicago for a Sunday showdown. Look-ahead lines listed Los Angeles as a 4.5-point road chalk, and that’s where it opened. But with concern around Matthew Stafford’s throwing hand, this spread has trimmed to Rams -3.5 in the first 12 hours of action. The total hit the board at 50.5, and early movement is toward the Over, with some shops dealing 51.5 O/U on Monday morning.

The look-ahead line for this possible Divisional Round pairing listed the Bills as 1.5-point road favorites at Denver. Buffalo’s win over Jacksonville kept the official opener there, with books pegging the No. 1 seed as home pups. Some sharper books are being very bullish on Buffalo, with the spread at -2.5. However, mainstream shops are seeing the vig swing on Denver +1.5, and we could see this spread shrink later in the week. As for the total, the number opened at 47.5 and is down to 46.5 points across the board on Monday morning.
Texans vs. Patriots odds
Opening line
- Patriots -2.5
- 40.5
Following Monday’s win by the Texans, New England opened between -2.5 and -3 hosting Houston on Sunday. The Over/Under hit the board as low as 40.5 and has jumped up to 41.5 across the industry, sitting on the other side of the key number of 41 points.
