Odds for the wild-card round of the 2022 NFL playoffs are live, and we’ve tried to identify early spreads to bet now before the slew of money comes in and beats the end-of-week spreads into place. Last week, we went 1-1 on our picks, getting closing line value on both. However, our pick of the week on the PFF Forecast lost (IND -15.5) and didn’t even get closing line value (it closed IND -14, and IND lost outright). We move on to the postseason.
