There are now just three weekends of NFL football between now and the first week of September. While that is undeniably sad, let’s focus on the fact that there were six excellent games in the Wild Card Round, and with the seemingly eight best teams still in it, this weekend should feature some incredible games as well. So, let’s dive right into the ClutchPoints 2025 NFL Divisional Round picks, predictions, and odds. column.
As the final eight teams play on, we say goodbye to the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers, and Pittsburgh Steelers. And we tip our caps to four of those teams (sorry, Chargers and Steelers) who put up an incredible fight.
This weekend, we welcome the first-place Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks to the NFL playoffs with tough matchups against the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. We also look forward to the Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots game, which should be an intense defensive battle, and the Los Angeles Rams vs. Chicago Bears game, which is destined to come down to the late fourth quarter.
With no truly great teams this season, the Lombardi Trophy is fully up for grabs in a way we haven’t felt for a long time. That means great games, drama, and two days of intense NFL action.
The NFL Divisional Round schedule brings us two Saturday games at 4:30 pm (Bills at Broncos) and 8:00 pm ET (49ers at Seahawks), two Sunday games with 3:00 pm (Texans at Patriots) and 6:30 pm (Rams at Bears) kicks.
The NFL Playoffs are where the best go to shine, and that’s exactly what we did last week. We went a spotless 6-0 against the spread and 5-1 straight up, with only the Eagles letting us down to win. That helps our overall season record and puts us on track for a perfect postseason. Through 19 weeks of picks, we are now 170-108 when just picking winners and 131-141-6 ATS.

So, with that, let’s get right into the NFL Divisional Round picks, predictions, and odds.

This is the only line that has moved since the beginning of the week, and if you like the Bills in this situation, you probably want to wait as long as possible to get your bet in. If this line moves like last week, it could jump to as big as Broncos by -3 or -3.5 just like it did with the Jaguars as the late money pours in.
That late money means the sharps were all over the Jags, which makes...
