NFL Playoffs 2020 Lines: Wild-Card Point Spreads, Betting Odds For First-Round Postseason Games

The 2020 NFL playoffs begin Saturday with both AFC wild-card games. It’s the NFC’s turn Sunday, and one of the road teams are favored to advance beyond the first round.

The Philadelphia Eagles are home underdogs against the Seattle Seahawks in the final game on Wild-Card Weekend. Seattle came one yard shy of beating the San Francisco 49ers in the 2019 regular-season finale and winning the NFC West.

Philadelphia is the only division champion that finished with fewer than 10 wins. Seattle leads all wild-card teams with an 11-5 record.

The New Orleans Saints are the biggest favorites in the first round. The NFC South champions are laying more than a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

New Orleans has the best record of any team playing on Wild-Card Weekend. The Saints went 13-3, ending the season with six wins in their last seven games.

Neither AFC matchup features a large point spread. The Houston Texans are favored by a field goal at home over the Buffalo Bills. The New England Patriots are laying five points against the Tennessee Titans.

Both Buffalo and Houston went 10-6 in the regular season. The Bills last won a playoff game in the 1995 season. The Texans have lost at home in the wild-card round in two of the last four seasons.

New England was on track to get a bye until they suffered the biggest upset of 2019 in Week 17. The Patriots have won their last nine home postseason games.
