NFL Wild Card weekend 2019 betting preview

Every year under the current NFL playoff format at least four teams made the postseason that didn’t the previous year. That streak continued in 2018 with a bang as a whopping seven new teams will compete for the Super Bowl: the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers and Seattle Seahawks.

Just a reminder that in this weekend’s wild card round, the division-winning third seed in each conference hosts the No. 6, and the division-winning fourth seed hosts the No. 5. The top two seeds in each conference are on the bye.

The first game of the weekend is Saturday afternoon and an all-AFC South affair as the No. 6 Colts visit the No. 3 Texans, who are 1-point favorites. The teams split two very entertaining games during the regular season, each winning by a field goal on the road. Indianapolis has covered three of the past four overall in the series. A Colts upset would send them to Kansas City. Houston would visit New England with a victory.
