NFL Divisional Round Tips

Sunday 19/1/25

8:30am Houston Texans vs Kansas City Chiefs @ GEHA Field

Houston played a lot better than we expected last week when beating the Chargers, but they were helped by some terrible quarterback play from Justin Herbert.

The task won’t be as easy against the best QB in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes, who looks to lead the Chiefs to another Super Bowl title in 2025.

The Chiefs are well-rested and ready to show their best, which is why NFL odds have them at $1.20 to win and –8.5. That’s a sizable line for a Divisional game, but we’re not surprised with most of the money coming for the home side.

Kansas City is the better team and it should score a comfortable win as an 8-0 team at GEHA Field.

Betting tip: Chiefs –8.5 @ $1.90

12:00pm Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions @ Ford Field

Bookmakers have the Lions at $1.18 to beat the Commanders, and it’s tough to disagree with the odds given how well the Lions have played.

Take nothing away from the Commanders, who keep finding ways to beat teams. However, they’re outclassed by the Lions, who overcame injuries to post a 15-2 record, and they’re having their best season in a very long time.

Jared Goff is showing the Rams why they shouldn’t have let him go, and although Washington could give them a run for their money in the first half, the Lions should pull away and set up a massive Conference Championship meeting against the Rams or Eagles.

We’re taking the Lions –9.5 and including them in our NFL multis.

Betting tip: Lions –9.5 @ $1.90

Monday 20/1/25

7:00am Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles @ Lincoln Financial Field

Punters get a great line for the Eagles, who continue to be disrespected in NFL betting markets this season.

They are having an excellent year at 14-3, and they are only –6.5 favourites to beat the 10-7 Rams. We don’t quite get the line, but we’re happy to jump on board before money comes for the home side throughout the week.

We have been impressed by the Eagles, who were 22-10 winners over Green Bay last week. The Rams also looked good when beating Minnesota, but the Vikings are known chokers in the playoffs, and playing this game in Philadelphia won’t help LA.

We expect the Eagles to fly and win by at least a touchdown, so this is our most confident bet of the NFL playoffs so far.

Betting tip: Eagles –6.5 @ $1.90

10:30am Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills @ Highmark Stadium

There are many who believe it’s the Bills year, but since when do the Bills ever win a Super Bowl?

It would defy history if they were to go all the way, and we think their run ends on Monday against the Ravens, who are surprise $1.85 road favourites to win.

Despite our pick being the Ravens, we expected them to be underdogs in Buffalo, but bookmakers and punters know how disappointing the Bills can be when the pressure goes on. Therefore, we’re picking Lamar Jackson to lead his team to victory.

It will be an offensive-minded contest, but the Ravens defence is better, and that’s where the game should be won and lost in the second half.

Betting tip: Ravens @ $1.85
