Betting Insights

  • Cincinnati needs a win against the Steelers in conjunction with a Dolphins and Broncos loss to lock in the No. 7 seed. Pittsburgh has let the AFC North slip away by losing three straight games but can still finish on top (with a win and a Ravens loss) and ruin a division rival’s season in the process.
  • Baltimore can wrap up the AFC North with a win over the 3-12 Browns. Cleveland turned to Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback a few weeks back and the results haven’t been promising. The Ravens shouldn’t have any issues picking up a win here but weirder things have happened.
  • The Broncos are 9-7 and draw the Chiefs as their final opponent. KC is 17-1 against Denver in its last 18 games but luckily for the Broncos, the Chiefs have nothing to play for and will be resting many of their starters. Denver is a large home favourite against the Carson Wentz-led Chiefs.
  • It’s win and in for the Buccaneers, who currently hold a one-game lead over the Falcons in the NFC South. Tampa Bay hosts New Orleans while Atlanta welcomes in Carolina. Both the Buccaneers and Falcons are favoured.
  • The winner of Sunday’s Vikings/Lions matchup will get the first week of the playoffs off and home-field advantage through the championship game. The loser will have to go on the road as a wild card. That’s what’s at stake between two 13-plus win teams.
