Our gambling guide to the best bets for the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs

After an exciting weekend of Wild Card action, just eight teams remain in the battle to become Super Bowl champions.

More importantly for the gambling public, there’s just seven games of professional football remaining before we have to resort to gambling on basketball and baseball as we wait for the 2018 preseason. Thankfully, as the slates get shorter, our gambling options grow far wider, with props and side bets available on every game remaining on the NFL schedule.

Last week we went 3-1 against the spread as every underdog was able to cover the number, with two of them winning outright. Unfortunately, our prop bet picks were slightly less successful, resulting in our winnings being cut down to a meager $65. That said, had Marcus Mariota completed one more pass and Tyrod Taylor gained just one more yard rushing, we’d be sitting pretty with $275 in our pockets. I’m not crying over lost wages, but rather trying to take comfort in the fact that it feels like we’re trending in the right direction.

All that said, let’s get to the bets for the Divisional Round! There’s several intriguing matchups on the board and plenty of prop bets for those feeling lucky.
