NFL Wild Card playoff odds – or should we say, NFL Super Wild Card playoff odds – are on the board, and bettors are already weighing in on the six matchups. And it's hard not to like Dak Prescott and America's Team taking on Captain America Tom Brady, even if Brady and Co. have a losing record.
Better still, the Dallas Cowboys-Tampa Bay Buccaneers clash is on Monday Night Football.

UPDATE 6 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Less than 48 hours before the opening postseason game, Caesars Sports has San Francisco laying 10 points at home. That matches Sunday night's opening number, with a brief peak of -10.5 Monday morning and an equally brief low of -9 Tuesday morning.
Beyond that, the number has toggled several times between Niners -10 and -9.5. San Fran is seeing 73% of early spread bets, but just 54% of early spread dollars.
“We’ve taken sharper action on the Seahawks plus the points. They’re a great story no doubt, but the 49ers are on fire," Caesars assistant director of trading Adam Pullen said. "Seattle struggled to score against them in both games they’ve played this season. When it comes to game time, we’ll probably be needing the Seahawks. Early in the week, it’s pretty much all sharp action betting the bigger amounts. The public is going to wait until later in the week or the day of the game to bet it — and the percentages reflect that.”
The total is down to 42 from a 43.5 opener, in no small part due to potential heavy rainfall Saturday in the Bay Area. Early ticket count is dead even, but early money is running 9/1 on the Under. Helping along that money discrepancy is a $110,000 bet on Under 43.
UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET SUNDAY: Seattle (9-8 SU, 7-10 ATS) needed to beat the Rams in Week 18 and have Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay lose at historic Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football. The Seahawks didn't look great in doing so, but beat Los Angeles 19-16 in overtime as 5-point home favorites.
Then it was up to Detroit – whose playoff hopes were vanquished by Seattle's win – to do the Seahawks a favor. And the Lions did, upending the Packers 20-16 as 4.5-point road 'dogs. That kept Green Bay out of the playoffs, giving Seattle the seventh and final seed in the NFC.
San Francisco (13-4 SU, 11-6 ATS) is the NFC's No. 2 seed, despite having to ride its third-string quarterback into the postseason. Rookie Brock Purdy has been nothing short of a huge surprise for the Niners, who are on runs of 10-0 SU/8-2 ATS.
Purdy first came on in Week 13, after Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a broken foot early in the game against Miami. Purdy threw a pair of TDs in that contest to help San Fran roll 33-17. In Week 18, the 49ers thumped Arizona 38-13 laying 6 points at home.
"Ticket count is about even so far, but there were some bigger bets on Seattle, bumping us down to 10," The SuperBook's Casey Degnon said of an early move at The SuperBook. "I think we will see San Francisco involved in teasers and parlays, so I expect to be rooting for a Seattle upset Saturday afternoon. Some decent action on the Over moved us up to 43, as well."
This is another matchup on the NFL Wild Card odds board that pits division rivals against each other. San Fran went 2-0 SU and ATS in this season's meetings, including a 21-13 road victory giving 3 points in Week 15.
