Odds, early bets for NFL divisional round: Seahawks favored vs. 49ers, expect Rams-Bears to go over total - ESPN

The NFL wild-card round certainly lived up to it's name.

The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks — the top seeds in the AFC and NFC, respectively — will get in on the action this weekend in the divisional round after earning first-round byes.

In the AFC, the Broncos will face the visiting Buffalo Bills, who escaped a wild finish against the Jacksonville Jaguars that featured four touchdowns in a back-and-forth fourth quarter.

The New England Patriots shut down the Los Angeles Chargers and will host the winner of Monday night's game between the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers.

In the NFC, The Seahawks will host the San Francisco 49ers, who scored the final 13 points in their matchup with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles to pull out the win.

The Chicago Bears erased an 18-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers in their wild-card matchup and will host the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams were able to rally past the Carolina Panthers thanks to a Matthew Stafford touchdown pass with 38 seconds left to advance.

Here's a look at the odds for every game in the divisional round, with initial reactions and bets from Matt Bowen, Pamela Maldonado and Seth Walder.
