We are in the thick of the and just eight teams remain alive to po sibly hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of LVIII in Las Vegas (televised by CBS and streamed on ). While the narratives heading into Super Wild Card Weekend were the multiple reunion storylines taking place throughout the league, upsets Preston Tucker Jersey are the key talking point coming out of the opening round of the postseason.Contenders like the , , and were able to advance against lower seeds, but half of the slate was filled with upsets. The and were able to take down the and as home underdogs, while the marched into AT&T Stadium as a No. 7 seed to take down the in convincing fashion.Now, we're looking forward to a divisional round that has plenty of juicy matchups, including the latest chapter in the rivalry between and . As we gear up for the continuation of these playoffs, let's take a look at the early odds for the divisional round and see who the oddsmakers have advancing to the conference championships.

However, this next test will be the toughest of his young career as he'll have to go into Baltimore to face a Ravens team that is coming off a first-round bye. While getting rest is typically looked at as Miguel Gonzalez Jersey a welcomed advantage, it hasn't been particularly profitable for Baltimore. Since became the full-time starter in 2019, the Ravens are 5-9 ATS when they have the rest advantage. This season, the club is 5-4 ATS at home. As for the Texans, they are 5-4 ATS on the road this season.The Niners are coming off the bye, but unlike the Ravens above do seem to take advantage of this rest edge. When given the rest advantage, San Francisco has covered 63% of their games (17-10 ATS) under Kyle Shanahan. That is the fourth-best cover rate over that stretch (since 2017). They are also 2-0 with the rest advantage this season. That said, Santa Clara hasn't been stellar home turf for them as the 49ers are just 3-5 ATS at home this season. As for the Packers, they are 5-5 ATS on the road. This is currently the highest total on the divisional round slate, and for good reason. The Over is 11-7 ATS for the Packers this season (including playoffs), while the Over is 10-7 for the Niners.What will be interesting to see in this game is if Tampa Bay's knack for covering on the road this season bleeds into the playoffs. They are a six-point road dog heading into Detroit and were a league-best 8-1 ATS on the road this season. Detroit was 5-4 ATS at Ford Field this year (including playoffs). Meanwhile, the Over has hit in 66.7% of the Lions home Tim Anderson Jersey games this season. This is the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career that he will be on the road in the playoffs, so there isn't much to lean on in terms of Nicky Delmonico Jersey previous postseason trends for the Chiefs QB. That said, Kansas City is 4-3-1 ATS on the road this season. As for the Bills, who are a 2.5-point favorite in this head-to-head, are 5-4 ATS at home this year (including playoffs). With the Chiefs playing on Saturday night and Buffalo's playoff matchup being moved to Monday due to weather, there is a bit of a rest discrepancy in favor of Kansas City. Andy Reid's team covered both instances where they had the rest advantage this season, while the Bills were 3-2 ATS when they had the rest disadvantage.
