Road teams coming off 4-0 ATS mark heading into divisional round

The visitors had their revenge in last weekend’s wild card round of the NFL playoffs, going a perfect 4-0 against the spread and winning both of Saturday’s games straight up. This weekend should be much more difficult for the road teams though, with the top two seeds from each conference finally beginning their journey toward Super Bowl 52.

In fact, the defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons (11-6) are the lone road team favored in the divisional round, and that is only because the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) are playing without their top player in injured quarterback Carson Wentz. The Falcons are 3-point road chalk against the Eagles in the early game on Saturday and have gone 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four Saturday games after upsetting the Los Angeles Rams 26-13 last week as 6-point road underdogs.

The top two seeds in the AFC are huge home favorites, starting with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots (13-3) versus the Tennessee Titans (10-7) on Saturday night. The Patriots are listed as 14-point home chalk, and they have won the past five home meetings (4-1 ATS) with the Titans, who are coming off a 22-21 upset of the Kansas City Chiefs last Saturday as 8.5-point road dogs. However, Tennessee has gone a disappointing 7-20-1 ATS in its last 28 games after a win.
