NFL Playoffs 2017 Lines: Point Spreads, Totals And Complete Las Vegas Betting Odds For Second Round

None of the games on the first weekend of the 2017 NFL playoffs were competitive, but the upcoming schedule is expected to feature multiple close contests. With eight teams still in the hunt to win Super Bowl LI, three of the four games in the divisional round feature betting lines of less than five points.

Every home team is favored, though it wouldn’t be considered much of a surprise if the Kansas City Chiefs lose at Arrowhead Stadium to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The point spread is up to two points, though it was a pick’em at one point Sunday afternoon. Pittsburgh is coming off an 18-point win over the Miami Dolphins.

The other AFC game isn’t expected to be nearly as close. The New England Patriots are favored by more than two touchdowns against the visiting Houston Texans. Houston easily handled Connor Cook and the Oakland Raiders in the first round, but they might not have much of a chance to upset Tom Brady and the 14-2 Patriots.

Both NFC playoff games feature a 4.5-point betting line with the home team favored. The Seattle Seahawks are underdogs against the Atlanta Falcons, even though they defeated the Detroit Lions by 20 points on Wild-Card Weekend. The Green Bay Packers visit the Dallas Cowboys after beating the New York Giants by 25 points.

Every second-round playoff game is a rematch from the regular season. Only the matchup between Seattle and Atlanta was a close one, as the Seahawks escaped with a two-point victory amid a controversial no-call for pass interference. New England shut out the Texans 27-0 with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, and Dallas won in Lambeau Field by two touchdowns.

The Chiefs are the only favorite that lost to their upcoming opponent in 2016. Kansas City lost by 29 points at Heinz Field in Week 4, though they’ve only suffered two losses since.

Below are the complete betting lines for all the second-round playoff games, including the point spreads and totals. These are the consensus odds from multiple sportsbooks in Las Vegas, via OddsShark.

Seattle Seahawks (+4.5) at Atlanta Falcons, 51

Houston Texans (+15.5) at New England Patriots, 44.5

Pittsburgh Steelers (+2) at Kansas City Chiefs, 44.5

Green Bay Packers (+4.5) at Dallas Cowboys, 52
