Ravens favored, but book likes Chargers' odds in NFL wild-card round
Patrick Everson

Lamar Jackson and Baltimore held on for a Week 17 win over Cleveland to claim the AFC North and punch their playoff ticket. The Ravens opened -2.5 for a Sunday home game against the Chargers.

After a wild 17 weeks of regular-season play, it’s time to look ahead to wild-card weekend in the NFL. We check in on the opening lines and early action for next weekend’s four playoff games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, supervisor at The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5)

Los Angeles tied for the best record in the AFC, yet is the No. 5 seed and on the road to open the postseason. The Chargers (12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS), who lost a tiebreaker to Kansas City for the AFC West title, finished the regular season with a 23-9 victory at Denver as 7-point favorites.

Baltimore won six of its last seven games to overtake Pittsburgh and win the AFC North, earning the No. 4 seed in the process. The Ravens (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS) had to win Sunday to reach the playoffs and got a huge scare, thwarting a Cleveland rally to win 26-24 as 7-point home faves.

“This is a situation where we like the ‘dog,” Wilkinson said. “We initially discussed having the game as a pick or even favoring the Chargers by a point, but the other markets like the Ravens. I think this line will drop quickly and could even favor the Chargers by game day.”

Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. ET Sunday.

NFC – Philadelphia at Chicago – 4:40 p.m. (NBC)

Opening Line (12/30/18): Chicago -5 ½, 42

Philadelphia Road Record: 4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS
Chicago Home Record: 7-1 SU, 7-1 ATS

Head-to-Head: The Eagles and Bears didn't match up this season, but Philadelphia destroyed Chicago in 2017 at Lincoln Financial Field, 31-3. Chicago has lost three consecutive meetings with Philadelphia since 2013, while these clubs last dueled in the playoffs back in 2001. The Eagles cruised past the Bears at Soldier Field, 33-19 to advance to the NFC Championship.

Playoff Notes: Chicago finished at the bottom of the NFC North in the previous four seasons prior to capturing the division title in 2018. The Bears last reached the playoffs in 2010 when they advanced to the NFC Championship before falling to the rival Packers. Chicago last participated in the Wild Card round back in 1994 when it routed Minnesota, as the Bears own a 4-5 record in the playoffs the last 25 seasons.

The Eagles picked up their first Super Bowl title last season by knocking off the Patriots, while winning all three games as an underdog. Philadelphia has lost in past three opportunities in the Wild Card round since 2009, while last playing a road playoff game in 2009 against Dallas in a 34-14 defeat.

Total Notes: The Eagles posted a 9-7 mark to the 'under,' while going 5-3 to the 'over' away from Lincoln Financial Field. During last season's Super Bowl run, Philadelphia cashed the 'over' in two of three victories.

Chicago closed the season with four consecutive 'unders,' as the Bears limited those four opponents to 17 points or less in each contest. The total was a toss-up at Soldier Field as the Bears went 4-4 to the 'over,' but Chicago allowed 22 points or less in seven of eight home games.

AFC – L.A. Chargers at Baltimore – 1:00 p.m. (CBS)

Opening Line (12/30/18): Baltimore -3, 41 ½

L.A. Chargers Road Record: 7-1 SU, 7-1 ATS
Baltimore Home Record: 6-2 SU, 3-5 ATS

Head-to-Head: The Ravens defeated the Chargers 22-10 in Week 16 as four-point road underdogs in a primetime game played on a Saturday from Los Angeles. Prior to this encounter, the pair split two regular season games from Baltimore in 2014 and 2015 and the outcomes were decided by a combined four points (29-26, 34-33).

Playoff Notes: The Chargers haven’t been in the playoffs since the 2013 regular season. They went 1-1 in the playoffs, winning the Wild Card game at the Bengals before losing to the Broncos in the Divisional Playoff round. QB Philip Rivers is 4-5 all-time in the playoffs but make a note that Los Angeles is 3-0 in Wild Card games.

This will be the first trip to the playoffs for Baltimore since the 2014 regular season. The Ravens went 1-1 SU and 2-0 ATS in that postseason. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh owns a 10-5 SU and 11-4 ATS all-time playoff record and what’s really impressive is that only two of those games were at home, both victories.

Total Notes: The Chargers saw their total results split evenly (8-8) this season but they had a 5-3 ‘over’ lean on the road. Los Angeles averaged slightly more points on the road (26.9 PPG) this season than at home (26.6 PPG). The Bolts made three trips to the Eastern Time Zone this season and scored 31, 36 and 33 points. Along with winning each game, the ‘over’ connected in all three as well.

Baltimore watched the ‘under’ go 9-7 this season which included a 4-4 total record from M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens defense (17.9 PPG) is ranked second in scoring and including the first meeting with the Chargers, they only allowed 17 PPG in four games versus the AFC West this season.

L.A. Chargers at Baltimore (CBS, 1:05 p.m. ET)

The Ravens defeated the Chargers 22-10 in Week 16 as four-point road underdogs in a primetime game played on a Saturday from Los Angeles and the ‘under’ (42 ½) cashed easily. And if it wasn’t for a pair of 60-plus yard touchdowns by Baltimore, one from its defense, the final score would’ve been much lower.

Bookmaker opened the rematch (41 ½) a tad lower and its been pushed down to 41 but most other shops are still holding 41 ½ as of Thursday.

While Baltimore was fortunate to connect on two big plays in the first meeting, it clearly dominated the game in yardage (361-198) and it won the turnover battle (3-1) as well with the last mistake putting the game away in the fourth quarter. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was sacked four times, picked off twice and only completed 23-of-37 attempts for 181 yards.

Outside of the long touchdown pass, Ravens rookie QB Lamar Jackson wasn’t sharp from the pocket (12-of-22) but he contributed with 39 of Baltimore’s 159 rushing yards. Since Jackson took over for Joe Flacco as the starting QB in Week 11, the Ravens are averaging 229 yards per game on the ground and the team is averaging 25.1 points per game. That production has led to a 4-3 ‘over’ mark and the Ravens defense (17.9) has done its best to keep those ‘under’ tickets cashing.

After losing at home to Baltimore, the Chargers finished the season with a lackluster 23-9 win at Denver and Rivers was far from sharp. He was picked off twice and only completed 14-of-24 (58%) of his passes against a Broncos secondary that featured more backups than starters. Rivers closed the season with two interceptions in each of his final three games. Which Rivers will show up on Sunday? I wish I knew but how you answer that question will obviously play heavily into your wager.

Make a note that Los Angeles was tied with New Orleans with the best road mark in the NFL this season at 7-1 and it’s arguably 8-1 since it beat Tennessee from London in Week 7. Including that results, the ‘over’ went 5-4 in games outside of L.A. for the club and they did score more on the road (26.9 PPG).

Some pundits believe that travel could play a factor for L.A. and it’s certainly not an easy trip. However, the Chargers went 3-0 in three games played in the Eastern Time Zone this season (Bills, Browns, Steelers) and they averaged 34 PPG in those wins. The ‘over’ went 3-0.

Prior to the recent encounter on Dec. 22, the pair split two regular season games from Baltimore in 2014 and 2015 and the outcomes were decided by a combined four points (29-26, 34-33).

As mentioned above, both clubs haven’t been in the playoffs in a few years but Baltimore’s 10-5 SU and 11-4 ATS postseason record under head coach John Harbaugh is very impressive and only two of those games were at home. The totals were a wash (7-7-1) in those contests but in the lone pair from Maryland, the ‘under’ cashed easily in both as the Ravens allowed 11 PPG in the victories.

The Chargers have gone 4-5 in the playoffs under Rivers but he’s 3-0 in the Wild Card round and the ‘under’ has gone 3-0 in those games.

Fearless Prediction: While the Chargers have put up some crooked numbers on the road, this Ravens defense is legit and I can see them making a run similar to what San Francisco did in 2012 when they handed the ball over from veteran QB Alex Smith to the upstart Colin Kaepernick. Coincidentally, that team was run by Harbaugh’s brother Jim. For those that put stock into playoff trends, make a note that the first game (1:05 p.m. ET) on Sunday in the Wild Card round has watched the ‘under’ cash the last eight years. I’m going to ride the Under (41 ½) for the game and expect another grinder, this time on the East Coast.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Philadelphia at Chicago (FOX, 4:40 p.m. ET)

Of the four Wild Card matchups, this one is expected to be the most lopsided with the Bears listed as six-point favorites over the Eagles. The total (41) could likely be the lowest as well and as of Thursday evening, the number has held steady since it opened.

The best unit on the field will be the Bears defense, which is ranked first in scoring (17.7 PPG) and third in total yards (299.7) allowed. The group also led the league with 36 turnovers, which included a league-high 27 interceptions and nine fumbles. They were tied for third in sacks (50) and all of that production led to six defensive touchdowns.

Despite that domination, the Bears saw their total results (8-8) break even this season but it did close the season with four straight winning tickets to the ‘under’ and both the defense (10.5 PPG) and lack of offense (19.3 PPG) helped that cause.

Chicago’s offense remains a mystery but I believe what we’ve seen in the last quarter is what the unit is and not the one that posted 28.6 PPG in its first 12 games. The benefit of extra possessions and great field position from the defense helped the offense a lot and the numbers prove that. The unit was ranked 21st in total offense (343.9 YPG) yet they managed to convert well on third downs and in the red zone, which led to plenty of points. Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky isn’t going to dice up any secondary but he’s efficient and makes a lot happen with his legs.

The Eagles defense (23 PPG) hasn’t been as strong on the road and the ‘over’ went 5-3 in those games, with one of the ‘under’ tickets taking place from London in a 24-18 win over Jacksonville in Week 8. The unit did shutout the short-handed Redskins 24-0 last Sunday in D.C. but they allowed 33.3 PPG in their three previous away games, all coming to playoff teams too (Saints, Cowboys, Rams).

The X-factor for this total and the game comes down to Eagles QB Nick Foles, who’s up to his old tricks again. Since taking over for the injured Carson Wentz in Week 15, the Birds closed the season with three straight wins and the offense posted 28.6 PPG in the wins. As a starter in second stop for Philadelphia, Foles has gone 9-2 and that includes a 3-0 playoff mark last year.

Are we going to witness another Foles run this January? The ‘over’ went 2-1 for the Eagles in last year’s championship push and he was fortunate to have the Birds defense step up at home (8.5 PPG) against the Falcons and Vikings. In the Super Bowl, he played outplayed QB Tom Brady and the Patriots for the 41-33 win.

Fearless Prediction: The ‘under’ on this game is the most popular total wager of the weekend and it’s hard to argue against it based on the form for the Bears. They enter this game on a 4-0 ‘under’ run and they’ve also covered all four of those games too. My lean on the side is to Philadelphia and when the Bears lose, only four times, they’ve allowed 30.1 PPG and the ‘over’ went 4-0. My lean for the late game is Over (41) and the Eagles Team Total Over (17 ½) as well.

Sunday's Big 10 Tip Sheet
David Schwab

There were seven Big Ten teams ranked in the AP’s Top 25 heading into the New Year and five of those programs will be in action on this Sunday’s college basketball betting board. No. 21 Indiana gets things started on the road against No. 2 Michigan at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Later that afternoon, No. 24 Nebraska takes on No. 25 Iowa in Iowa City and the lone night game on the slate pits No. 22 Wisconsin on the road against Penn State in Happy Valley.

No. 21 Indiana Hoosiers at No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (CBS, 4:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Michigan -8, Total 131 ½

Betting Matchup

Indiana has won its last seven games straight-up including a 3-0 record against the Big Ten. The Hoosiers went 4-3 against the spread during this same span after failing to cover in Thursday’s 73-65 victory against Illinois as 11-point home favorites. The total stayed UNDER 142 points in that game and it has stayed UNDER in seven of their last eight games behind a defense that is giving up 64.1 points per game.

The Wolverines come into this game with a perfect SU record of 14-0. However, Thursday’s 68-55 romp over Penn State as 11-point home favorites was the first time they covered in their last six games. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last their last eight contests. Freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis posted a double-double in Thursday’s win with 16 points and 11 rebounds. He has exceeded his team-high 16.4-point scoring average in three of his last five starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Hoosiers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 conference games and the total has stayed UNDER in 10 of their last 11 games played on Sunday.

-- The road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in 11 of the last 16 meetings in Michigan.


No. 24 Nebraska Cornhuskers at No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes (Big Ten, 5:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Nebraska -3 ½, Total 149 ½

Betting Matchup

The Cornhuskers’ four-game winning streak came to an end with Wednesday’s tight 74-72 loss to Maryland, but they still managed to cover as 2 ½-point underdogs on the road. They are 2-1 SU and ATS in the Big Ten with a previous victory against Illinois at home and a loss to Minnesota on the road. Nebraska is averaging 79.6 PPH behind senior guard James Palmer’s 20.1-point scoring average. The Cornhuskers are only allowing 59 points a game at the other end of the court.

Iowa is also coming off a loss with Thursday’s 86-70 setback against Purdue as a 9 ½-point road underdog. It is 0-3 (SU and ATS) in the conference following previous losses to Wisconsin at home and Michigan State on the road. The Hawkeyes are 11-3 SU with a 5-9 record ATS. Junior forward Tyler Cook scored 24 points while going 9-of-16 from the field in Thursday’s loss. He has scored at least 16 points in each of his last six starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Hawkeyes have failed to cover in five of their last seven games following a SU loss and the total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in 16 of their last 21 conference games.

-- The favorite has covered the spread in five of the last six meetings and the total has gone OVER in five of the last six matchups in Iowa.


No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers at Penn State Nittany Lions (Big Ten, 7:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Wisconsin -2, Total 130

Betting Matchup

Wisconsin should fall out of the rankings this upcoming week following its 59-52 loss to Minnesota on Thursday as a nine-point home favorite. This followed a road loss to Western Kentucky on Dec. 29 as a 6 ½-point favorite. The Badgers are 10-4 SU with an even 7-7 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in nine of those games. Senior guard Ethan Happ scored 17 points in the loss to Minnesota as the team’s leading scorer this season (19.1 points).

With that lopsided loss to Michigan, the Nittany Lions fell to 7-7 SU and 5-9 ATS on the year. The total stayed UNDER 128 points in the 13-point loss and it has stayed UNDER in nine of their 14 games overall. To make matters worse, head coach Patrick Chambers will be suspended for Sunday after an altercation with freshman guard Myles Dread in that last game.

Betting Trends

-- The Badgers have covered in nine of their last 11 road games and the total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five games on the road.

-- The Nittany Lions are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a SU winning record and the total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last eight home games against a SU winning team.

-- Penn State has covered in five of its last seven home games against Wisconsin and the total has stayed UNDER in 17 of the last 25 meetings overall.
