But the main event is on Sunday night when Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson battle in Buffalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have you covered for it in our NFL divisional round betting guide, featuring staff picks and predictions to help you make the best wagers for the second playoff round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL betting guide: The Divisional round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>C.J. Stroud is coming off a convincing win against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, he travels to Arrowhead to take on the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rookie phenom Jayden Daniels won a thriller last week in Tampa Bay. His reward? A date with the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions, and one can only imagine Ford Field will be buzzing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit (-9) is the biggest favourite of the Divisional round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest total also belongs to the Lions and Washington Commanders. The Saturday nighter has an O\/U of 55.5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football\/nfl\">Full divisional betting markets<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nfl\/top-players\/passing-yards\">Player stat leaderboards<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nfl-injury-report\">Latest injury news<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s action begins when the Los Angeles Rams head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Matthew Stafford has engineered a Super Bowl run before but will have to get through an elite defence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of those matchups are excellent, but none are more anticipated than Sunday&#8217;s showdown between two MVP candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffalo is undefeated at Highmark Stadium this year but Allen finds himself as an underdog to Jackson and Co., who just dismantled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;ll be an action-packed slate of football. Now, let\u2019s get on to the picks\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a good place to start: Our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nfl-divisional-ats-picks-and-predictions-2025\">NFL divisional round ATS picks<\/a><\/strong>.

Horrobin is backing each of them this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/texans-vs-chiefs-divisional-round-sgp-predictions-2025\">Texans\/Chiefs SGP<\/a><\/strong>: Stroud has really struggled in outdoor road games which has Horrobin fading his 239.5 passing yard total. Three more picks, including props on two wide receivers, round out this +410 wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/commanders-vs-lions-divisional-round-prop-picks-2025\">Commanders\/Lions props<\/a><\/strong>: Horrobin likes Jameson Williams to be busy in the passing game. He&#8217;s also betting on Daniels to stay hot in a unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/commanders-vs-lions-divisional-round-sgp-predictions-2025\">Commanders\/Lions SGP<\/a><\/strong>: A teased-up Commanders spread, followed by two player prop bets on Jahmyr Gibbs and Terry McLaurin, make up this +300 ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/rams-vs-eagles-divisional-round-sgp-predictions-2025\">Rams\/Eagles SGP<\/a><\/strong>: This +300 bet slip is running back-centric, featuring Kyren Williams and Barkley.
