For the most part, the betting public seems to believe home teams will find success in the 2020 NFL divisional playoffs. All four road teams are underdogs in this weekend’s second-round games, and the majority of wagers are being placed on the top seeds.

According to The Action Network, the San Francisco 49ers have received 55% of the bets in the first divisional game. The Baltimore Ravens have gotten 54% of the wagers in Saturday night’s game, as of Thursday morning.

San Francisco is a seven-point favorite at home against the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers are the NFC’s No.1 seed with a 13-3 record.

Baltimore led the NFL with a 14-2 record, finishing the 2019 regular season on a 12-game winning streak. The Ravens are laying 9.5 points against the Tennessee Titans Saturday night.

The public is essentially split in Sunday’s first contest. The No.2 seed Kansas City Chiefs are getting 51% of the bets as a 9.5-point favorite over the Houston Texans.

The contest at Arrowhead Stadium is the only rematch from the regular season. Houston won in Kansas City 31-24 on Oct. 13.

The Seattle Seahawks are easily the smallest underdog on the schedule. They are also the only road team that’s getting the majority of the public support.

Only 42% of the wagers for the game at Lambeau Field are on the Green Bay Packers. That means nearly 60% of the public is picking Russell Wilson and Seattle, who are getting four points in the Sunday night matchup.

The Seahawks are 8-1 on the road this season following their wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Home teams went 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread in last year’s divisional round.
