NFL Wild Card best bets: Winner, spread, total picks for Saturday playoff games

The wild card round of the NFL playoffs begins with two games on Saturday.

The Saturday matinee game has Joe Flacco and Cleveland Browns on the road against the Houston Texans. That game will air on NBC.

The night game has the Miami Dolphins facing the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in what is expected to be terrible winter weather. That game can only be watched on Peacock.

With the playoffs starting, there aren’t many betting opportunities left. These are my betting picks for the winner, spread and total for Saturday’s games.

Browns at Texans

Moneyline

  • Browns -145

Against the spread (ATS)

  • Browns -2.5 (-115)

Total (Over/Under)

  • Under 44.5 (-110)

Dolphins at Chiefs

Moneyline

  • Chiefs -225

Against the spread (ATS)

  • Dolphins +4.5 (-110)

Total (Over/Under)

  • Under 44 (-110)
