Favorites and underdogs each won three games during the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs.

Los Angeles Rams (+7) at Green Bay Packers (-7)

The last time the Los Angeles Rams traveled to Green Bay's Lambeau Field for an NFL playoff game was in 1967. The Packers won 28-7 en route to a Super Bowl 2 triumph over the Oakland Raiders.

The Packers were the NFL's most productive offense, scoring 31.8 points per game. Green Bay enters the playoffs riding a six-game winning streak. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the NFL in passing TDs (48), passer rating (121.5), completion percentage (70.7), TD pass percentage (9.1) and QBR (84.4).

Packers wideout Davante Adams snared an NFL-leading 18 TD receptions. Adams also led the league in receiving yardage per game (98.1). Fellow wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling posted the league's highest yards per catch (20.9). 

The Rams were the NFL's #1 defense, allowing 281.9 yards per game. LA was also No. 1 at stopping the pass (190.7 YPG) and third-best in the NFL at shutting down the run (91.3 YPG).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) at New Orleans Saints (-3)

The two oldest QBs in the NFL clash as Drew Brees, 42, leads favored New Orleans against Tom Brady, 43, and the Buccaneers.

While record six-time Super winner Brady will be the sentimental favorite, the Saints have already whipped the Bucs twice this season. New Orleans won 34-23 in Week 1 and smacked Tampa Bay 38-3 in Week 9.

The Saints have a history of coming up short in the playoffs. Tampa Bay has won five in a row. Go with the hot hand in NFL playoffs picks.

Cleveland Browns (+10) at Kansas City Chiefs (-10)

This game offers the largest spread in the NFL Vegas odds among the four NFL Divisional playoffs matchups. Cleveland's 48-37 Wild Card win over Pittsburgh marked the first postseason win by the Browns since 1995.

As impressive as the Browns were in whipping up on Pittsburgh, 14-2 Kansas City is a whole different animal. This is the third successive season that the Chiefs have earned a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

They used their time to rest fortuitously. They've won and covered in the NFL Divisional Round both years.

Two years ago, the Chiefs pounded the Indianapolis Colts 31-13. Last year, KC spotted the Houston Texans a 24-0 lead and still won going away 51-31.

Don't bet against the Chiefs.

Baltimore Ravens (+3) at Buffalo Bills (-3)

In the Wild Card Round, the Bills barely scraped past the Colts 27-24 for their first win in the NFL playoffs since 1995. Meanwhile, the Ravens went to Tennessee and knocked off the Titans 20-13.

In that victory Ravens QB Lamar Jackson resembled the guy who was named NFL MVP last season. Baltimore's defense stuffed NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry for 40 yards and a 2.2 average on the ground.

The Ravens are playing their best football at the right time of year. Take Baltimore and the points.
