Jacksonville and Tennessee meet with the AFC South title on the line. Jacksonville has lost six straight games outright as a home favorite (0-3 this season). That is tied for the fourth-longest streak by any team in the Super Bowl era and tied for the longest active streak (Carolina). However, it has covered four straight games entering this week.
In the other potential winner-take-all matchup, Green Bay is a home favorite over Detroit. Both teams enter the matchup red-hot, as Detroit has covered eight of its past nine games, while Green Bay has covered four straight. Green Bay was 12-1 to make the playoffs following its 4-8 start.null
New England can also clinch a playoff spot with a win, but it is currently a 7-point underdog in Buffalo. New England is 0-3 ATS in its past three games and 0-4 ATS against teams with winning records this season.
Kansas City visits Las Vegas as it looks to improve to 6-0 outright in division games. However, it is 0-5 ATS in those five wins. No team in the Super Bowl era has gone undefeated outright in division games but winless ATS. Kansas City is also 0-5 ATS in its past five games as at least a seven-point favorite.
Two competing trends square off in the Baltimore-Cincinnati game. Cincinnati is 20-3 ATS in its past 23 games including the playoffs, the best 23-game stretch in the Super Bowl era. It has covered seven straight games. However, Baltimore is 16-3-1 ATS as an underdog over the past five seasons.
