The NFL wildcard weekend is the books with no surprises whatsoever (All four home teams won and covered their respective spreads, including the Denver Broncos, the only home team listed as underdog). Now the schedule has been set, and the NFL divisional round playoff is officially underway, let’s take a look at the weekend schedule and the available NFL Odds. 

New Orleans Saints (14-3) vs. San Francisco 49ers (13-3)

After a smashing 45-28 victory over the Lions on Saturday night, the Saints will now face the number  one defense in the NFL.  While the Saints have won nine straight overall, they usually show a different face when playing outside the Dome (Only the Bengals (0-5) have a worse record in road playoff games). Currently, the Saints are 0-4 in road games in their playoff history. The Saints lost at Seattle last season, at Chicago in 2006, at Minnesota in 2000 and at Chicago in 1990. But despite its negative record while playing on the road, New Orleans opened as a 3.5-point favorite on WagerWeb.com.

In the other hand, this is the first playoff game for the 49ers since the 2002 season. Their last playoff game was a road loss to Tampa Bay in the divisional round that season.

Game Odds:

New Orleans Saints: -3.5-105  
San Francisco 49ers: +3.5-115  
Total: 47 -110
Money Line:
New Orleans Saints: -195
San Francisco 49ers: +170

Denver Broncos (9-8) vs. New England Patriots (13-3)

Denver’s star Quarterback Tim Tebow will have another chance to prove what he’s made off against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. This game represents a career challenge for Tebow, who had another great performance on Sunday’s victory over the heavily favored Steelers.  The Broncos are 6-1 with Tebow as starter when they rush on at least 55 percent of plays (2-3 when rushing under 55 percent, including Week 15 loss vs. The Patriots).

But despite the general frenzy for Tebow, oddmakers are not expecting him to save the day, and listed New England as a 13.5-point favorite over the Broncos.

Game Odds:

Denver Broncos: +13.5  
New England Patriots: -13.5
Game Total: 51 -110
Money Line:
Denver Broncos: +595
New England Patriots: -755

Houston Texans (11-6) vs. Baltimore Ravens (12-4)

The Texans will visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the AFC Divisional Round of the 2012 NFL playoffs. Houston won its first playoff game in the franchise history on Saturday after beating the Bengals 31-10 (0-5 in road playoff games).

Both teams are familiar with each other as they've matched up previously this season. Houston visited Baltimore in Week 6 and lost 29-14. In the first match up, the Ravens defense found the way to limit Houston to just a touchdown in each half.  While Texans defense was able to reduce Baltimore’s offensive team in the first half, the Ravens poured on 15 points in the second half to secure the victory. 

Now Houston looks will try to win its first NFL divisional round playoff ever, and they will try to do it on the road once again. The Ravens however are 8-0 in M&T Bank Stadium this season, so that’s why the Ravens are currently 9-point favorites on WagerWeb.com.

Game Odds:

Houston Texans: +9-135
Baltimore Ravens: -9 +115
Game Total: 35.5 -110
Money Line:
Houston Texans: +290
Baltimore Ravens: -350

New York Giants (10-7) vs. Green Bay Packers (15-1)

The NFL divisional round will close with a high voltage game featuring the New York Giants vs. the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay. The 15-1 Packers are the top-seeded team in the NFC, while the 10-7 NFC East champions Giants are the fourth seed.  The two teams previously met in Week 13 of the regular season at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. The then-unbeaten Packers won the game with a tight 38-35 victory thanks to a field goal by Mason Crosby in the last seconds of the game.

Since Week 13, the Giants have been hoping for a second chance to beast the Packers, however, the odds favor the Packers, who haven’t lost at home since October 2010. The Packers, on a bye last week, are listed as 9-point favorites on WagerWeb.com.

Game Odds:

New York Giants: +9 -125
Green Bay Packers: -9 +105
Game Total: 52.5 -110    
Money Line:
New York Giants: +300  
Green Bay Packers: -360
