As the week and playoffs go on, the lines and betting odds are going to likely change, so you may want to hold off on placing your bets for now.
There is a lot on the line, of course, but there are also a lot of factors that could come into play in these NFL Playoffs 2016. Peyton Manning returned for the Denver Broncos yesterday and helped lead them to the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
Seattle has played just about every home game this season in the 4 p.m. ET time slot and most of their road games too. Now, they are starting early against Minnesota and it could play a part in things. The Washington Redskins are also playing at a rather unfamiliar time, too.
Washington’s first 4 pm game of the year will come in the playoffs. Weird
