The NFL playoff bracket is set, with 14 squads vying to be the lone team fortunate enough to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas come early February. While only 13 games remain, there are still valuable betting opportunities out there as the season comes to an end, starting with this week's six-game super wild-card weekend slate. As we do at the start of each week, we'll list every wild-card game's spread, moneyline, and total, updating those numbers as they get bet throughout the days leading up to kickoff.
Playoff action gets underway on Saturday afternoon, as the AFC South champion Texans host the surging Browns in a matchup of the fourth and fifth seeds. In the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, the sixth-seeded Dolphins travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the third-seeded Chiefs. Sunday's tripleheader begins with the second-seeded Bills hosting the seventh-seeded Steelers, leading into must-see matchups between the Cowboys and the Packers, and the Lions and the Rams. Super wild-card weekend concludes on Monday night with the NFC East champion Buccaneers hosting the Eagles in a rematch of an earlier MNF clash.
Below, we'll look at the latest odds for super wild-card weekend 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.

NFL wild-card playoff best bets
*Odds and analysis as of Monday 1/8*
Lions -3 (-115) vs. Rams
In Detroit's first home playoff game in 30 years, you better believe we're riding with Dan Campbell's crew at a relatively short price of -3 (-115) in a projected high-scoring contest. We know Ford Field is going to be rocking in a bittersweet matchup against Matthew Stafford and the Rams, and although Sean McVay deserves loads of credit for taking this Rams team back to the postseason, we're not sure a defense ranking 20th in EPA/play (-0.013) can keep the Lions' high-powered offense in check over 60 minutes.
Buccaneers moneyline (+118) vs. Eagles
Although the Buccaneers laid an egg to wrap up super wild-card weekend last year in a 31-14 blowout loss to the Cowboys, we like them to make amends this time around. The Eagles enter the postseason in brutal form, losing five of its past six games, and their defense's inability to get consistent stops results in a one-and-done showing from last season's NFC champs.
