Another exciting weekend of NFL playoff football is upon us, which means it’s another opportunity to throw some money down on the big games.
And if you are betting on the games, you’ll want to listen to The Group Chat segment of the latest episode of “Bear Bets” as the fellas break down this week’s games.
FOX Sports’ Chris “The Bear” Fallica and Geoff Schwartz, along with Sam Panayotovich and Will Hill, had a lot of thoughts on the divisional round playoff slate and a future bet to make.

Going into the last three games of the weekend, is there a side you or play you like in the Packers-49ers (-9.5) game on Saturday (8:15 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app)?
Hill: 49ers team total Over 30.5 points
