Baltimore was a 9.5-point favorite back then and a nine-point favorite in the latest Divisional Round NFL lines. In the NFC, the top-seeded 49ers will host the Packers in what will make history as soon as the game kicks off. It will be the 10th postseason matchup between the two franchises, giving it sole possession of the most all-time.

The Niners are favored by 10 points in the latest Divisional Round NFL odds. Both San Francisco and Baltimore lost their last games in Week 18 in which they rested their starters.

Top Divisional Round NFL predictions

One of the model’s strongest Divisional Round NFL picks is that the Bills (-2.5) cover the spread at home versus the Chiefs on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. While the Chiefs easily handled the fair-weather Dolphins in frigid temperatures in the Wild Card Round, Kansas City didn’t exactly look impressive in doing so. Its offense, which has underperformed all year, struggled in the red zone, going 2 for 6. That came versus a Miami defense which ranks 28th in redzone defense and 22nd in scoring defense, while Buffalo’s unit is 19th in the redzone and fourth in scoring defense.

The Bills defeated the Chiefs 20-17 in Week 14, with that came taking place in Kansas City. However, the Bills’ offense is a different juggernaut at Highmark Stadium as the team is averaging 5.3 more points per game in home games this season versus true road games. The Bills also have the momentum advantage, in that they’re riding a six-game win streak, and they boast a stellar 7-2 against-the-spread record against teams that win over 55% of their games. The advanced model from SportsLine has Buffalo (-2.5) covering well over 50% of the time, with the model also backing the Over (46). See which other teams to pick here.
