NFL 2024 Divisional Round Playoffs – Game Picks Spreads Predictions

Interesting week as Vegas and The Algorithm see things a bit differently in three of the four games.  Vegas seems to be making Kansas City & Detroit larger favorites than the Algorithm.  This could be due to Vegas adding points to the bye teams power ratings.  It would appear that value is between 3 – 4 points.

The Philadelphia – LA Rams game is the opposite.  The Algorithm sees the Eagles as large favorites while Vegas has them at -5.5.  The Algorithm and Vegas agree that the Buffalo Baltimore games is a virtual toss up.

Home teams went 5 – 1 in the Wild Card round, and favorites were 4 – 2.  Washington was the only away team to win or cover.  Houston won outright as a home dog.

Best of luck and enjoy the games!
