Every Sunday night, oddsmakers drop the upcoming week’s NFL betting lines, and if you are wondering if the opening spreads look accurate, we’ve got you covered.
Each week, FOX Sports Betting Analysts Geoff Schwartz, Sam Panayotovich and Jason McIntyre will break down the opening numbers in this space and point out if they think the line is too low, too high or just right.
So, without further ado, let’s jump into their analysis for Wild-Card Weekend of the NFL Playoffs!

Steelers @ Bills (-9.5)
Lots of things are working against the Steelers here: injuries to T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, a first-time playoff starting QB in Mason Rudolph and the Bills having the cornerbacks to slow down Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.
This smells like when Pittsburgh went to Kansas City a few years ago and got blasted in a Wild Card game, 42-21.
Packers @ Cowboys (-7.5)
This seems a tad too high with how well the Packers have played in the final two months of the season. QB Jordan Love has only thrown one interception in his last nine games.
While the Packers defense isn’t trustworthy, and the Cowboys will score, I think the Packers can keep up. So, getting over a touchdown is too much.
