How to read NFL Las Vegas Money Line Odds
In this example, the Cleveland Browns were listed as a 5.5-point favorite against the Tennessee Titans. Looking at this from a money-line standpoint, Cleveland is a -245 favorite to win the game straight-up, compared to Tennessee at +210 to win the contest.
Cleveland -245 (Bet $100 to win $40.80)
Tennessee +210 (Bet $100 to win $210)
That number is set by oddsmakers after the spread is established but changes throughout the week based on the amount of money coming in on bets.
In this contest, Tennessee actually upset Cleveland, 43-13 in easy fashion to cash at +210 Money Line Odds. If you bet $100 on Tennessee to win the game outright, you receive the $210 for the winning ticket, plus getting back the $100 you placed on the game for a $310 victory.
However, going for it all by taking underdogs on the Money Line instead of taking the points turns out to be a tough pill to swallow.
In the 2019 season opener, Philadelphia closed as a hefty 10-point home favorite against Washington. The Eagles were -500 on the Money Line, while Washington was a juicy +425 to pull the road upset.
Philadelphia -500 (Bet $500 to win $100, Betting $100 wins only $20)
Washington +425 (Bet $100 to win $425)
Washington actually led this game, 20-7 at halftime, but was outscored, 25-7 in the second half to lose to Philadelphia, 32-27. If you took the points with Washington, you were a winner. However, if you backed Washington on the Money Line, you walk away with nothing as it lost the game straight-up.

Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers
Time/station: 4:35 PM EST, Fox
NFL Playoff odds and point spreads: Packers -6.5 (over/under 45.5)
Update: Jared Goff expect to start for the Rams
Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been abysmal since starting the season off strong, leading to renewed questions regarding his status as the Rams’ future at this position. Over the course of his past nine starts, last week’s win over the Seahawks included, Goff has thrown nine touchdowns while committing 13 turnovers.

What’s equally troubling here for the Rams when we look at their NFL Playoff odds this January is the fact that Goff has tallied 14 touchdowns against 14 turnovers in his past 12 road starts dating back to last season.
Given the nature of the injury to his throwing thumb, it really is hard to imagine Goff being able to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers in the Wisconsin winter at Lambeau Field. This is magnified by the fact that Green Bay won its final four regular-season home games by an average of 16 points. Take the Packers and the points here. Don’t think twice about it.
Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills
Time/station: 8:15 PM EST, NBC
NFL Playoff odds and point spreads: Bills -2.5 (over/under 50.0)
How good has Western New York treated the Bills since a Week 6 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs? It’s pretty darn remarkable. And it has us thinking Buffalo’s NFL Playoff odds, at least until the conference championship game, are pretty darn good. Buffalo is 6-0 in its past six home games. The team is averaging 36 points and a resounding 380 total yards per game during that span.

Despite the Ravens’ recent hot streak (six-game winning streak), this has us questioning the point spread with Buffalo at a -2.5. Last week’s win over the Titans included, the Ravens are 7-2 away from M&T Bank Stadium. However, four of those wins came against the Eagles, Texans, Bengals and Washington Football Team (19-43-2 combined record). It’s going to be a whole new ball game against the red-hot Bills. Expect Josh Allen and Co. to cover here.

Cleveland Browns at Kansas City Chiefs
Time/station: 3:05 PM EST, CBS
NFL Playoff odds and point spreads: Chiefs -10.0 (over/under 57.0)
Update: Browns activate CB Denzel Ward from COVID-19 list
Consider this. Kansas City finished the regular season 14-2 following a Week 17 loss to the Chargers with their starters resting. The Chiefs’ final seven wins of the season came by an average margin of 4.5 points per. This has not been the dominant Patrick Mahomes-led team we have seen in recent season. It could also have us questioning the defending champs NFL Playoff odds heading into Sunday’s game against an upstart Browns team.

At the very least, there’s an open question whether this 10-point spread is based more on reputation than anything else. After blowout losses against the Ravens and Steelers earlier in the season, Cleveland final three losses during the regular season came by an average of seven points. This represents some food for thought. While it still makes sense to go with Kansas City here, avoid the points.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints
Time/station: 6:40 PM EST, Fox
NFL Playoff odds and point spreads: Saints -3.0 (over/under 52.0)

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when attempting to analyze this game from a betting perspective. Drew Brees has been absolutely brilliant at home in his career, winning 65% of his starts at the Superdome. He’s also 7-2 at home with 19 touchdowns against four interceptions in the playoffs. Heck, Brees and his Saints handled Tampa Bay during the regular season. That included New Orleans outscoring its NFC South counterparts by a combined margin of 72-25 in two games.

Then, we have one Tom Brady. He just recently became the oldest quarterback to throw a touchdown in the history of the postseason. NFL Playoff odds have also favored Brady during an illustrious career that has seen him win six Super Bowl. At issue here for Mr. Brady is his career 5-4 postseason record away from Gillette Stadium (not including the Super Bowl, of course). He’s 20-4 in New England. Despite this, I am willing to go against the grain and pick a minor upset. It really is hard to bet against GOAT, even if it could mean Drew Brees’ final game as an NFL quarterback.
