2024 NFL playoff bracket: Divisional round picks, predictions, best bets for AFC, NFC schedule by top model
The 2024 NFL playoff bracket has been whittled down to eight teams heading into the divisional round, which begins with a pair of games on Saturday in the 2024 NFL playoffs. No. 2 seed Dallas was a popular pick to advance last weekend, but the Cowboys were dealt a shocking blowout loss by No. 7 seed Green Bay. The Packers are 9.5-point underdogs against the top-seeded 49ers according to the latest divisional round NFL odds. Should you consider picking Green Bay to pull off another outright upset in your NFL playoff bracket picks?
The final game of the weekend features (-2.5) hosting Kansas City in an AFC matchup on Sunday. Which team should you have advancing with your NFL predictions and NFL bets?

Top 2024 NFL playoff predictionsOne of the surprising NFL playoff bracket predictions from the model: It is high on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+6.5) and sees them as a sneaky value the rest of the way, even though they barely snuck into the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The Buccaneers put together one of their most impressive performances of the season last week, getting revenge for a Week 3 loss to Philadelphia with a 32-9 blowout win. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns, while Tampa Bay’s defense held Philadelphia under 280 total yards.
Detroit is coming off a thriller against the Rams, so the Lions find themselves in a letdown spot after recording their first playoff win in 32 years. Tampa Bay has won six of its last seven games, including a trio of road wins during that stretch. SportsLine’s model identified value on the Buccaneers before the postseason began, and there is still value on them heading into the divisional round. See which other teams to pick here.
