Quote of the Day

This could be an unprecedented weekend for road favorites in the NFL playoffs, which open Saturday with the wild-card round.

Four road teams were favored at BetMGM Sportsbook as of Wednesday afternoon. Two of those games had 1-point spreads — Green Bay at Chicago and Buffalo at Jacksonville — so it’s possible the number of road favorites will be down to two when the games begin. The Packers-Bears line has bounced back and forth, but the Bills have been steady favorites over the Jaguars.
