NFL Playoffs 2019 Lines: Wild-Card Point Spreads, Betting Odds For First Round

The 2019 NFL playoffs are expected to begin with a slate of very competitive games. Three of the four games on Wild-Card Weekend feature a betting line of less than a field goal, and no team is favored by a touchdown.

The Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans are all laying 2.5 points, according to the early odds. The Chicago Bears are favored by 5.5 points in the weekend’s final game.

Every road team is an underdog, but the point spreads indicate that a few of the visiting teams are considered to be slightly better than their first-round opponent. The Los Angeles Chargers will visit Baltimore as the No.5 seed after winning two more games than the Ravens in the regular season. The Seattle Seahawks have the same record as Dallas, and they beat the Cowboys in Week 3.

The contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago is the only first-round matchup that isn’t a rematch from the regular season.

Following a season that saw record-breaking offensive performances, the wild-card games could feature a bunch of low-scoring affairs. Three games have a total of 42. All four totals are in the 40s.

Below are the available betting lines for all the 2019 NFL Wild-Card games, including the point spreads and totals. These are the consensus odds from multiple sportsbooks in Las Vegas and online, via OddsShark.
