SI Gambling Insider Frankie Taddeo reviews the opening lines for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
The NFL divisional playoff matchups are set after a fantastic weekend of Super Wild Card games.
The Bills, Rams and Buccaneers punched their tickets to the next round of the playoffs on Saturday in three exciting games coming down to the final quarter. The Rams (+3.5) were the only team on Saturday to record a victory of more than one score via their 30-20 upset of the Seattle Seahawks. Buffalo (-7) and Tampa Bay (-9) were both able to advance to the divisional round, but could not reward their backers at the betting windows winning by less than the spread.
The biggest shock came in the final game of the weekend when the Cleveland Browns (+5.5) crushed Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers 48-37 in Pittsburgh. The Browns now get a date with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens (-3.5) and Saints (-10.5) recorded victories earlier in the day over the Titans and Bears respectively, that will see them lining up in between the whites lines again next weekend. Arguably the biggest matchup of all four games will involve Tom Brady facing off against Drew Brees for the right to play in the NFC Championship game next Sunday night.
The sharp information from Vegas produced another profitable NFL betting campaign - finishing the regular season with a record of 68-47-1 against the spread. The betting plays, supplied only to Sports Illustrated, have absolutely crushed the sportsbooks in NFL, NCAA basketball and college football wagering. The information straight from Frankie Taddeo,
