2024-25 NFL Odds for Wild Card Weekend

Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -2
• Opening moneyline: Vikings -130/Rams +110
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Monday (ESPN)

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The NFL on Thursday announced a venue change for this matchup, due to the raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Vikings-Rams will now take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., home of the Cardinals.

That move impacted the Fanatics' NFL Wild Card odds, with L.A. no longer having home-field advantage. Minnesota opened -2.5 and was down to -1 prior to the move. After the move, the Vikes climbed to -2.5 (-115), while taking 69% of early spread bets/61% of early spread money.

Fanatics opened the total at 47 and is now at 47.5. The Over is landing 70% of bets/90% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports opened Minnesota -1, got to -2 and is now -1.5.

"The early money has been all Vikings," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total is up to 48 from a 46.5 opener.

UPDATE 11:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota (14-3 SU/11-5-1 ATS) tied for the second-best record in the NFC, and the entire league, for that matter. But the Vikings ended up the No. 5 seed and on the road next weekend.

In a battle for the NFC's No. 1 seed, Minnesota tumbled 31-9 as 3-point road underdogs to Detroit on Sunday night.

No. 4 seed Los Angeles awaits the Vikings. The Rams rested several players in Week 18, even with a chance to get the No. 3 seed. L.A. lost to Seattle 30-25 as 7.5-point home underdogs.

The SuperBook opened Vikings-Rams at Minnesota -2, with no early movement.

"I think this one will be a big need for us, and I expect us to be big Rams fans," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "The Vikings got humbled on Sunday Night Football, but there’s not much shame in losing at Detroit.

"I think Minnesota will be a big public side to close out what should be a huge five-day weekend, with eight marquee games."

Indeed, the College Football Playoff semis – Notre Dame vs. Penn State on Thursday, Ohio State vs. Texas on Friday – lead into the six-game Wild Card Weekend.

Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -3
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers -175/Commanders +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 50.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff coming up, the Buccaneers are 3-point home chalk in BetMGM's NFL Wild Card odds. Tampa Bay opened -2.5 last Sunday, quickly got to -3 (-120), then briefly went to -3.5 (-105) Monday.

Tampa has been at various iterations of -3 since late Monday morning. And BetMGM is rooting for the underdog outright.

"We want the Commanders to win. We want the underdog and the Under," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

The total opened at 50.5 and just got to its peak of 51.5.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: At Fanatics Sportsbook, Washington is the only underdog attracting more action than the favorite in any of the six games on the NFL Wild Card Weekend odds board.

Tampa Bay opened -3.5 and now sits at -3. The Commanders are netting 59% of spread bets/66% of spread money. Washington has a slight edge in moneyline action, at 54% of bets/53% of money.

Fanatics opened the total at 50.5 and was at 50 this afternoon, then returned to 50.5. The Over is nabbing 67% of early bets/82% of early cash.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports hasn't budged off its opening NFL Wild Card Weekend odds on this matchup, with Tampa Bay still -3 and the total at 50.5.

"It’s been all public money on this game so far. I haven’t seen anyone we respect yet come in on a side or the total. It’s been good two-way action at 3," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: In Week 18, Washington held its position as the No. 6 seed. The Commanders (12-5 SU/10-6-1 ATS) edged Dallas 23-19, failing to cash as 7-point road favorites.

Tampa Bay (10-7 SU and ATS) was a hefty 14.5-point home favorite vs. New Orleans in Week 18. But the Bucs got all they could handle from the Saints. Tampa trailed 16-6 at halftime, but rallied for a 27-19 victory, clinching the No. 3 seed.

Commanders-Buccaneers opened at Tampa -3 in The SuperBook's NFL's Wild Card odds. Within a couple hours tonight, the Bucs adjusted to -3 (-120).

"The baffling Sunday Night Football game," SuperBook vice president John Murray said, alluding to his desire for a more attractive prime-time matchup. "I expect this to be a good two-way game. It does not seem like a game we will be heavy to either side on."

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -220/+190
• Opening total: Over/Under 46 points scored
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff looming, Philly is -5.5 (-115) in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Wild Card odds. A week ago, the Eagles opened -3.5, then in short order moved out to -4.5/-5.5.

Philadelphia then spent most of the week at -4.5, but has been at various iterations of -5.5 since Saturday night. The Eagles are attracting 69% of bets/74% of money on the spread. Moneyline play is even more lopsided, at 82% of bets/83% of money.

DK opened the total at 47.5, bottomed out at 44.5 briefly on Wednesday and rebounded to 46.5 by early this afternoon. It's now 45.5, with 62% of bets on the Over/69% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: This line has bounced around a bit throughout the week in Fanatics' NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market. Philly opened -4.5 and initially dipped to -4, then surged to -5.5.

Earlier this afternoon, the Eagles were -4.5, but they're now at -5.5 again. Philadelphia is taking 66% of early spread bets/72% of early spread dollars.

The total opened at 46.5 and was at 45.5 earlier this afternoon, before dipping another tick to 45. The Over is getting 76% of bets/57% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports' NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market got an early jolt of Philadelphia action on this matchup.

"I made this game Eagles -3.5, but it quickly went higher and has settled in at -4.5," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "There were some immediate concerns about Jordan Love’s elbow after the Bears game on Sunday. But Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he is good to go.

"Unfortunately, the Packers lost Christian Watson to a torn ACL. We will definitely need the Packers here."

The total is down to 45.5 from a 46.5 opener.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Green Bay (11-6 SU/9-8 ATS) was a 10-point home favorite vs. Chicago, with plenty to play for. If the Packers won, they'd be the No. 6 seed and avoid a first-round game at Philadelphia.

But the Packers were dealt a stunning 24-22 loss on a final-seconds field goal. Further, Jordan Love suffered an elbow injury that led to him exiting the game.

Philadelphia (14-3 SU/11-6 ATS) was already locked in at No. 2 prior to its Week 18 game at the New York Giants. Still, the Eagles won 20-13 as a 3-point favorite.

Philly opened -4.5 vs. Green Bay in The SuperBook's NFL odds Super Wild Card Weekend market.

"This looks like the best game of the weekend. There should be a lot of support both ways," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "There could be a lot of moneyline liability to the Eagles here, depending on how the AFC playoff games and the College Football Playoff semifinal games go."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Washington (11-5 SU/10-5-1 ATS) and Green Bay (11-5 SU/9-7 ATS) are tied and could remain so after Sunday. Both teams are trying to dodge the No. 7 seed and a date with Philadelphia next week.

The Commanders have the inside track for the No. 6 seed, holding the tiebreaker over the Packers. So if both teams win or both lose Sunday – Washington is at Dallas, Green Bay hosts Chicago – then Green Bay is the No. 7 seed and visits Philadelphia.

If Green Bay wins and Washington loses, then it's Commanders vs. Eagles in the NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market.

Philadelphia (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS), locked into the No. 2 seed, is resting key players Sunday against the New York Giants. The Eagles won the NFC East.

Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -9
• Opening moneyline: Bills -500/Broncos +400
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 11:45 A.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff approaches, the Bills are -8 in BetMGM's NFL Wild Card Weekend odds. A week ago, Buffalo opened -7.5 and sprinted to -8.5 (-115), then went to -9 Monday.

The line spent the second half of the week at various iterations of -8.5, then went to -8 about an hour ago.

"We just want the Broncos to cover. A Ravens-Bills matchup would be a very high-handle game, so we'd probably prefer a Bills win today to get that game," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

So even though a Denver upset would blow out any moneyline parlays that survived the Texans' win over the Chargers, BetMGM would rather see Buffalo advance.

The total opened at 47.5 and initially dipped to 47 Monday. The number advanced to 47.5 Thursday, 48 Saturday and just went to 48.5. Straight bets modestly favor the Over at BetMGM, but Cipollini said when factoring in single-game parlays, the Under is definitely the need.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Buffalo darted from -8 to -9.5 earlier in the week in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL odds Wild Card market. The Bills are now -8.5 while landing 55% of bets/66% of money on the spread.

Fanatics opened the total at 47 and is now at 47.5 on strong Over action. Ticket count is almost 3/1 and money well beyond 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Buffalo landed on Borgata Sports' NFL Wild Card odds board as an 8.5-point favorite. That line is up a notch to Bills -9.

"Not much action has come in on this game yet. This has the least handle on it of an any of the games," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver (10-7 SU/12-5 ATS) did what was expected against a Kansas City team resting its starters. The Broncos rumbled to a 38-0 victory as 11-point home favorites.

Buffalo (13-4 SU/10-7 ATS) had the No. 2 seed wrapped up prior to Week 18. The Bills lost to New England 23-16 giving 3.5 points on the road. That halted a 10-1 SU/8-3 ATS stretch for Buffalo, but again, it was a meaningless game.

The SuperBook opened Buffalo -9 tonight in NFL Wild Card Weekend odds.

"I'm surprised to see this game in the early Sunday time slot. Same deal as the Ravens game, we have to protect against teasers," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Everyone will be expecting Baltimore and Buffalo to advance to a showdown the following week."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Denver (9-7 SU/11-5 ATS) has the clearest path to the AFC's No. 7 seed. If the Broncos beat Kansas City – which is resting its key players – then they are in.

But if Denver loses, then the door opens for Cincinnati (9-8 SU/10-6 ATS) and Miami (8-8 SU and ATS). The Bengals need a Denver loss and Miami to lose or tie at the New York Jets. Miami needs to beat New York and have Denver lose to K.C.

Buffalo (13-3 SU/10-6 ATS) awaits one of those three teams, as do bookmakers setting NFL Wild Card Weekend odds. The Bills won the AFC East and are the No. 2 seed, win or lose Sunday at New England.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -9.5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -500/Steelers +400
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (Prime)

UPDATE 6:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: With 75 minutes until kickoff, the Ravens are -9.5 (-105) on BetMGM's NFL Wild Card odds board. On Sunday, the Ravens opened -8.5 and quickly advanced to -9.5 (-115).

Over the last three days, the line toggled between -9.5/-9, then touched -8.5 (-120) early this evening, before advancing to the current -9.5 (-105).

"We will want the Steelers tonight. It's been consistent Chargers and Ravens action all day," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total opened at 46.5, went to 45.5 in short order and bottomed out at 43 midweek. It's now at 44.5, with more tickets and dollars on the Over. However:

"Single-game parlays negate that. We still want a low-scoring game," Cipollini said.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Baltimore hit Fanatics' NFL Wild Card Weekend odds board as 9-point chalk, peaked at -10 and is now -9.5. Point-spread play is reasonably close, with 52% of bets/60% of money on the Ravens.

The total opened at 46 and is now 43.5, with 64% of bets on the Over and 61% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Borgata Sports is seeing one-way traffic on Steelers vs. Ravens in the NFL Wild Card odds market.

"We opened Baltimore laying 8.5 points, and it was all Ravens money early, pushing this up to -10," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "I’m not sure this comes back down lower than 10, even with the familiarity between these two teams."

The total dropped from 46.5 to 44.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: It'll be Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore for a third time this season. The Steelers fell from the fifth seed to No. 6 with their loss to Cincinnati, coupled with the Chargers' win over the Raiders.

The Ravens and Steelers split their regular-season meetings, with the home team winning and cashing each time.

Baltimore opened a hefty -9.5 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL Wild Card odds market. There's been no movement yet.

"I think you’ll see some books protecting against the obvious Ravens/Bills teasers," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "There will be a lot of moneyline parlays this weekend, and they will all include Baltimore.

"I don’t think I’m ready to root for Russell Wilson on my Saturday night. That does not sound like a good time."

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Baltimore (12-5 SU/10-6-1 ATS) clinched the AFC North and No. 3 seed, while also covering the largest point spread of the season. The Ravens closed as 19.5-point favorites vs. Cleveland and rolled to a 35-10 victory Saturday.

Derrick Henry's 43-yard touchdown run with 3:04 remaining got the Ravens across all numbers, including their peak of -20.5.

So Baltimore has its spot on the NFL Wild Card Weekend odds board. Next up for the Ravens: A home date with either Los Angeles (10-6 SU/11-5 ATS) or Pittsburgh (10-7 SU and ATS).

The Steelers fell to the Bengals 19-17 as 2.5-point home underdogs Saturday night. If Los Angeles wins Sunday at Las Vegas, then Pittsburgh heads to Baltimore next week. If the Chargers lose, then L.A. travels to Baltimore.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Chargers -3
• Opening moneyline: Chargers -150/Texans +130
• Opening total: Over/Under 44
• Time: 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Two hours from kickoff, the Chargers are -2.5 (-120) the NFL odds Wild card market at BetMGM. Los Angeles opened -3 (-105) Sunday and toggled down to -2.5 a couple times this week.

This morning, L.A. was -3 flat, then went to the current -2.5 (-120).

"Nothing but Chargers bets. We need the Texans, for sure. Just covering would be good. Outright is even better," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is down to 41.5 from a 44.5 opener, spending most of the week toggling between 42.5/42/41.5, at various juice. Still, Cipollini said BetMGM wants the Under in this matchup, per usual.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: With 24 hours until kickoff, the Chargers are -3 (-105) in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Wild Card odds. Los Angeles opened -3 and spent time at -2.5 before returning to -3.

Spread ticket count is 3/1 and spread money just shy of 2/1 on the Chargers. And Los Angeles is dominating early moneyline action, at 77% of tickets/89% of cash.

Fanatics' total opened at 44.5, got down to 42 and this afternoon inched up to 42.5. The Over is seeing 71% of tickets/55% of money.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Los Angeles opened as 2.5-point road chalk in the NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market at Borgata Sports, a BetMGM property in Atlantic City.

"Right away, we saw some Chargers money, driving this to 3. At 3, we started getting some Texans money, so the action has balanced out at 3," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "You may see this toggle a bit between 2.5 and 3 up until game day."

The total opened at 44.5 and is down to 42.5.

UPDATE 9:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (11-6 SU/12-5 ATS) moved up to the No. 5 seed with its Week 18 victory. The Chargers topped Las Vegas 34-20 laying 7 points on the road.

L.A. has won three in a row SU and is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games.

Houston (10-7 SU/11-6 ATS) has the No. 4 seed as the AFC South champion. In Week 18, the Texans topped Tennessee 23-14 catching 2.5 points on the road.

The SuperBook opened Chargers-Texans at L.A. -3 (even) tonight in the NFL odds Wild Card Weekend market. Since then, there's been only a juice adjustment to Chargers -3 flat.

"This will be a big decision for the books. We have already taken a lot of money on the Chargers -3 and expect the public to heavily back them all week," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "Houston is limping into the postseason, but we expect to get a good effort out of them. They should be used to this time slot by now."

Indeed, the Texans are making a habit of being in the first game of Wild Card Weekend.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: If the Chargers lose at Las Vegas Sunday, then Pittsburgh gets the No. 5 seed and heads to Houston. If L.A. beats the Raiders, then the Chargers are the 5 seed and travel to Houston.
