Our favorite spread, money line, total and prop bets for Panthers-Bucs and Seahawks-Niners - ESPN
There are two playoff berths still to be determined in the NFL playoffs (one in each conference). Neither No. 1 seed has been clinched and four division titles are up for grabs. Saturday's ABC/ESPN doubleheader will give us some of those answers.
The Carolina Panthers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m. ET. The Panthers can clinch the NFC South with a win or tie Saturday or an Atlanta Falcons win or tie Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers need a win Saturday and a loss by Atlanta on Sunday.
In the second game of the day, the Seattle Seahawks visit the San Francisco 49ers at 8 p.m. ET.
The winner of Saturday's matchup clinches the NFC West, the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the NFC. A tie would also do the trick for Seattle.
Matt Bowen, Liz Loza, Pamela Maldonado, Eric Moody, Ben Solak and Seth Walder offer their picks, prop bets, daily fantasy sports plays and analysis to help you bet the games.

Maldonado: Tampa Bay has been more reliable scoring points at home. The Bucs are getting a Panthers defense that struggles to generate pressure and hold the quarterback edge in high-leverage spots. That matters, as Baker Mayfield can push the ball when protection holds.
