The NFL playoff field has been slimmed down to eight teams with wild-card weekend in the rearview. Next up is the divisional round when the No. 1 seeds in the AFC and NFC take the field for the first time.
There were two upsets across six wild-card games and four of them were decided by seven points or less. Unsurprisingly, the Chiefs and Eagles, both coming off byes, are favored by a little more than a touchdown against the Jaguars and Giants, respectively, while the divisional games between the Bengals and Bills and Cowboys and 49ers are expected to be a bit closer.

These teams met at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 10 and the Chiefs won, 27-17, as 9.5-point favorites.

The Giants and Eagles, NFC East rivals, face off for the third time this season Saturday. Philadelphia won the first two meetings, 48-22, and then 22-16 in Week 18, though New York did not play its starters in the season finale with a playoff spot locked up. The Giants pulled off a wild-card upset on the road in Minnesota, beating the Vikings, 31-24, in a game where they were getting three points. The Eagles, who were 7–2 at Lincoln Financial Field this season, earned a week to rest up after stumbling to the finish line.

The Bengals and Bills both survived upset bids last weekend to set up a rematch of the Week 17 game that was canceled. Cincinnati beat Baltimore at home, 24-17 as an eight-point favorite in a contest where a defensive touchdown was the difference. Buffalo barely survived playing Miami and its third-string quarterback at home, escaping with a 34-31 victory as a 14-point favorite. The Bills were 7–1 at Highmark Stadium in the regular season and the defending AFC champion Bengals carry a nine-game winning streak into the divisional round.

Spread: DAL +3.5 (-110) | SF -3.5 (-110)

The two most dominant teams in the wild-card round face off in San Francisco on Sunday night with a trip to the NFC championship game on the line. The Cowboys beat the Buccaneers, 31-14, as 2.5-point favorites Monday, so they have a short week ahead. The 49ers took over in the second half against the Seahawks after trailing by one at halftime to win 41-23 on Saturday. San Francisco beat Dallas, 23-17, in the first round of the 2022 playoffs, which was the most recent meeting between the teams.
