Welcome to our NFL Divisional Round betting picks and player props. We’ll cover our favorite game picks for the round, plus a short list of player props (yardage and Anytime TD) where the numbers stand out.

Last week, we kept the card tight and focused on the spots we actually liked. That same approach applies here. The Divisional Round is a smaller slate, the market is sharper, and there’s less room for forcing action just because the games are big.

In other words, expect fewer plays than you’d see during a typical regular-season week.
