Opening Texans vs Chiefs Odds for Divisional Round

The AFC #1 seed, the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2, 8-0 home, 8-9 ATS), will face the worst remaining seed in the conference, the #4 Houston Texans (11-7, 6-3 home, 8-8-2 ATS) at Arrowhead Stadium in the Divisional Round. Winners of seven straight postseason games – including two straight Super Bowl – Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have opened as 7.5-point favorites over CJ Stroud and the Texans.

On the moneyline, Kansas City is -345, which amounts to a 77.53% implied win probability, with the Texans a +275 longshot. The game total has opened at just 43.5.

This Texans vs Chiefs Divisional-Round game is a rematch from the regular season, and the spread almost exactly mirrors the final score from Week 16, when Kansas City earned a 27-19 win at home over Houston. The Chiefs outgained the Texans 375 yards to 311 and forced the only two turnovers of the game, both interceptions off Stroud.

Patrick Mahomes is 12-2 straight-up at home during the playoffs. Stroud is 2-1 straight-up overall and 0-1 in road games during the postseason. His only previous away game in the playoffs was a 34-10 rout at the hands of the Ravens last year as a rookie.

Kansas City heads into the Divisional Round as the +350 second-favorite in the 2025 Super Bowl odds. Houston is a +5500 longshot to win its first Lombardi Trophy.

Opening Ravens vs Bills Odds for Divisional Round

The opening odds for the Baltimore Ravens (13-5, 6-3 away, 11-6-1 ATS) vs Buffalo Bills (14-5, 9-0 home, 11-7 ATS) are considerably narrower. Buffalo has opened as a slim 1.5-point home favorite and is just -115 on the moneyline, despite being a perfect 9-0 at home this season, including a 31-7 rout of Denver in the Wild Card Round.

The Ravens come back as slight -105 moneyline underdogs, while the game total is at an inflated 52.5. Baltimore crushed division-rival Pittsburgh. 28-14, on Wild Card Saturday. As such, they will have an extra day of rest before next week’s Divisional Round clash with Buffalo, whether it’s scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.

Like Texans/Chiefs, this is also a rematch from the regular season; the Ravens dominated the Bills in a 35-10 victory, but that came all the way back in Week 4 and was in Baltimore.
