2024 NFL playoffs: Early odds for divisional round as 49ers are double-digit favorites vs. Packers

We are in the thick of the NFL playoffs and just eight teams remain alive to possibly hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas (televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+). While the narratives heading into Super Wild Card Weekend were the multiple reunion storylines taking place throughout the league, upsets are the key talking point coming out of the opening round of the postseason. 

Contenders like the Chiefs, Bills, and Lions were able to advance against lower seeds, but half of the slate was filled with upsets.
