NFL Betting Tips: 8/1 four-fold for this weekends Divisional Round action

As part of our expanding sports coverage here at BettingOdds.com we've enlisted our US sports specialist @OddsTerrier to do a weekly NFL preview and accumulator. This will continue with  the playoffs which continue with the Divisional Round and eventually the 'Greatest show on Earth' Superbowl LVI, which will take place on February 13 in Inglewood, California at the SoFi Stadium. We'll have comprehensive NFL tips and prop bets throughout the playoff period on all of the games. Visit our NFL page for all the latest tips and news.

The Playoff wild card round started in style with some fantastic games. The Bengals hung on against the Raiders, The Bills put on an absolute clinic against the Pats, The Bucs saw off a poor Eagles effort, The Chiefs smashed the Steelers as did the Rams against the Cards. The game of the round was probably in Dallas which saw a bizarre ending put pay to a Cowboys fightback against the 49ers. 

This week we have the no 1 seeds enter the fray in the Divisional Round. Here are the match ups:

There are some cracking ties and we'll have previews for all the games with tips and player propositions.

We've also got our weekly acca which is getting harder by the week with these tight playoff games. We've picked out a four-fold which pays 8/1 with Boylesports. 

Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans - Cincinnati Bengals +4.5

This game will be an intriguing clash of styles. The Titans ran the ball more than any other NFL side this season and will be buoyed by the return of figurehead Running Back Derrick Henry. Questions remain about his fitness and a lot will depend on that here. The Bengals are more of a pass first offense and if QB Joe Burrow and star WR Ja'Marr Chase can link up again early then the Bengals could be tough to catch.

I really fancy the Bengals to cover the line here. They are on a march and will be a threat to any side.

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers - Green Bay Packers -3.5

The spread for this game is San Fran +6.5 but this looks on the large side to me and I've taken a more conservative -3.5 line. The 49ers come into this game with a huge amount of momentum - having essentially been playing playoff games for five weeks now due to their need to win, to get into the playoff bracket in the first place.  However, big questions remain over QB Jimmy Garropolo and they could quite easily have lost last week after he threw an unnecessary interception late in the game. There are also doubts over DE Nick Bosa who was badly hurt in the win over the Cowboys and has been in concussion protocol. 

One man there are no doubts over is Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who is a massive odds-on favourite to win his 4th MVP award. The 49ers pass defense is the worst part of their game and if Rodgers gets ticking he could pick them off with some of the leagues best attacking talents on his roster. If they can keep WR Deebo Samuel quiet then I think it could be a successful night for the Pack. 

Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

The Bucs are a slim 2.5 point favourite in this match up and will be encouraged by the likely return of RB 'Playoff' Lenny Fournette who will bolster their weakened attacking options. This game should be a classic as the Rams are bang in form and will be hoping to get to goat QB Tom Brady through a fragile looking O-line. However I still would take Brady over talented but inconsistent Rams QB Matt Stafford. If the Tampa Bay D can get to Stafford early then I see the Bucs getting over the line, possibly by a solitary TD.

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs - Kansas City Chiefs

Wow, this game will be a total shootout. If you have something planned on Monday morning, cancel it. Both the Bills and the Chiefs come into this game off stellar performances. Buffalo QB Josh Allen did something never seen before in NFL history. Throwing five touchdowns, only four incompletions and no fourth downs, other than the two kneels at the end of the half. Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes almost matched it in a real return to form, in a blow out win over the Steelers. 

Many people are picking the Bills for the upset here but I'm sticking with my Chiefs and just think their extra playoff know-how and ability to get a crucial turnover will be key here. 

Good luck if you follow my picks and enjoy what is sure to be a superb weekend of football.
