Green Bay Packers to beat Chicago Bears @ 1.79
It is hard to split the Packers and the Bears in the pre-match odds, but we are siding with the Packers in this one, despite the lack of home advantage. These two sides have already clashed twice in the 2025-26 NFL season, with the Packers winning 28-21 in front of their fans and suffering a 22-16 defeat on the road. But a well-rested Packers side – who always seem to make the playoffs – should be able to handle the pressure better than the Bears, exacting sweet away revenge in the process.
Carolina Panthers vs Los Angeles Rams: Points handicap | Rams -10.5 @ 1.87
In this fixture, the pre-match odds are weighed heavily towards the Rams – and it is easy to see why. While the previous edition of this fixture finished 31-28 in favour of the Panthers, we would be shocked if a similar outcome occurred here. The Panthers’ regular season record of 8-9-0 is pretty poor, especially when compared to the Rams’ stats of 12-5-0. So we are backing Sean McVay’s men to stroll to victory on the road by a double-digit margin, reminding the rest of the NFC of their undeniable quality. There is a reason why NetBet has priced the Rams at just 5.30 to win the NFL this season, currently the second-shortest odds behind the Seahawks.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Buffalo Bills: Points handicap | Jaguars +1.5 @ 1.76
The Jaguars are on a seriously good run of form, winning nine of the previous 10 matches. As is the case with any sport, that level of performance should serve them well in a knockout setting, though Wild Card Round matches do not come much trickier than the Bills. Spearheaded by the unwavering brilliance of quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook, the side from Buffalo certainly have the capabilities to reach the Divisional Round. The Bills are also 5-0 in this stage of the playoffs since 2020, though all of those victories were tallied on home soil. But we expect this to be a very close match indeed, and after looking at the spread, the Jaguars +1.5 looks a great option.
