The race for the Lombardi Trophy is down to eight teams.

The quarterfinals, known by the NFL as the Divisional Round, will feature four games over two days.

After a wild weekend where four underdogs covered the spread and three advanced by winning outright, the two top seeds will open their roads at home on Saturday.

Here’s a look at the NFL Divisional Round betting odds.

NFL Divisional Round Odds & Betting Lines

All NFL betting odds cited below are current as of Tuesday, Jan. 16, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens

Saturday, Jan. 20, 4:30 p.m. ET

  • Moneyline: Texans (+330) @ Ravens (-425)
  • Spread: Texans +9.5 (-110) @ Ravens -9.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: Over 45.5 (-108) / Under 45.5 (-110)

The Houston Texans had the longest preseason Super Bowl odds yet find themselves two wins away from appearing in the big game for the first time in their 22-season history.

But to further advance, C.J. Stroud and Houston will need to knock off the best team in football in Baltimore.

The Ravens were 6-3 at M&T Bank Stadium, including a 25-9 rout of Houston in Stroud’s first NFL start on Sept. 10.

Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Saturday, Jan. 20, 8:15 p.m. ET

  • Moneyline: Packers (+360) @ 49ers (-470)
  • Spread: Packers +10 (-115) @ 49ers -10 (-105)
  • Over/Under: Over 49.5 (-110) / Under 49.5 (-110)

The upstart Green Bay Packers scored the longest upset of Super Wild Card Weekend, rolling the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 on Sunday.

Jordan Love (272 passing yards, 3 TDs) looks dangerous but will need to turn the tables on the 49ers, who upset the Packers in the Divisional Round at Lambeau Field in 2021.

San Francisco has dropped two straight at Levi’s Stadium, though one of those was a 21-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams where most of its starters were resting.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions

Sunday, Jan. 21, 3 p.m. ET

  • Moneyline: Buccaneers (+205) @ Lions (-250)
  • Spread: Buccaneers +6 (-108) @ Lions -6 (-112)
  • Over/Under: Over 48.5 (-110) / Under 48.5 (-110)

After winning their first home playoff game in 31 years, the Detroit Lions are heavy favorites to continue on to the NFC Championship Game.

Detroit is 7-2 at Ford Field, averaging 29.7 points per game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the same odds as the Packers to win the NFC (+950) but appeared formidable in their 32-9 rout of the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.

Baker Mayfield has a 7:1 TD:INT ratio in three career playoff starts and is 2-1 on the road in the postseason.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

Sunday, Jan. 21, 6:30 p.m. ET

  • Moneyline: Chiefs (+120) @ Bills (-142)
  • Spread: Chiefs +2.5 (-102) @ Bills -2.5 (-118)
  • Over/Under: Over 46.5 (-110) / Under 46.5 (-110)

The game of the weekend could be a de facto AFC Championship Game.

Each team is coming off a convincing win on Wild Card Weekend, with Buffalo defeating Pittsburgh 31-17 and Kansas City rolling Miami 26-7.

The Bills beat the Chiefs 20-17 in Week 14, a result that spearheaded their current run of six straight wins. Buffalo has beaten Kansas City in three straight regular-season meetings, but the Chiefs are 2-0 against the Bills in the playoffs, with all five games being played at Arrowhead.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won his lone start in Orchard Park — albeit in an empty stadium — on Oct. 19, 2020. The atmosphere for his first career road playoff start should be more hostile.

NFL Divisional Round Betting Trends

Here are some NFL Divisional Round betting trends to consider from last season:

  • Favorites went 3-1 straight up.
  • Home teams were 3-1 straight up but 2-2 against the spread.
  • Unders swept the week, going 4-0.
