Following the conclusion of Super Wild Card Weekend, the NFL playoff bracket has been narrowed down to eight teams. This weekend's four-game divisional round is expected to feature plenty of jaw-dropping moments, as each of these must-watch matchups also offers valuable betting opportunities. As we do at the start of each week, we will list the spread, moneyline, and total for every divisional round game, updating those numbers as they are bet on in the days leading up to kickoff.

The divisional round kicks off with the AFC No. 1 seed Ravens hosting the fourth-seeded Texans on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET, followed by the nightcap between the NFC No. 1 seed 49ers and the seventh-seeded Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET. Game one of Sunday's doubleheader features the third-seeded Lions playing in their second consecutive home playoff game against the fourth-seeded Buccaneers, leading into the reigning AFC Champion Chiefs going to Buffalo to face the second-seeded Bills in Kansas City's first road playoff game in the Patrick Mahomes era.

Below, we'll look at the latest odds for the divisional round from Caesars Sportsbook and offer up a couple of early bets to consider. Keep in mind these lines will move throughout the week as we get updates on the playing status of key starters and betting limits increase.

*Odds and analysis as of Tuesday 1/16*

Bills -2.5 (-125) vs. Chiefs

We'll back Josh Allen and company to end the Chiefs' hopes of returning to the AFC Championship for the sixth straight season at -2.5 (-125). While the Bills' defense is dealing with some injuries themselves, they aren't nearly as injury-riddled as the Dolphins were. Their ability to get natural pressure on Mahomes figures to result in a frustrating offensive showing by Kansas City, while Buffalo's ability to generate explosive plays leads to a home victory for the second seed.

Lions -6 (-110) vs. Buccaneers

Considering the Lions were outgained by the Rams 425-334 while scoring just three second-half points, we were contemplating potentially fading them this week, but a rematch against a Buccaneers team they previously beat 20-6 in Week 6 makes them an intriguing bet at -6 (-110).
