The Bills face the Broncos in the divisional round, a game that's lined as a true coin flip. The Bills and Broncos are both -110 on the moneyline. Despite having home-field advantage, Denver isn't being respected in the betting market as the AFC's third favorite.
The Patriots represent the Bills' stiffest competition, according to bettors. New England's defense suffocated the Chargers in the opening round, holding Justin Herbert to three points. The Patriots will host the Texans, who dominated the Steelers on Monday night.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are big 7.5-point favorites over the 49ers. Seattle earned a bye in the first round and now faces its division rival, which lost offensive leader George Kittle for the remainder of the playoffs with a torn Achilles. San Francisco entered the playoffs at +2000 to win the Super Bowl and remained there even after beating the Eagles on the road.
The Rams snuck by the Panthers in the wild-card round, but that hasn't deterred bettors. Los Angeles is viewed as a Super Bowl threat even though it has to play on the road for the second straight week.
Here are the odds as of Tuesday for the divisional round:
