The Dallas Cowboys have opened as 4-point favorites against the Green Bay Packers for next Sunday's divisional round matchup.
The Cowboys will host the Packers in next Sunday's Divisional Round game, and the Cowboys opened as 4-point favorites in that game. The over/under for the game is set at 51.5, so expectations are for a high-scoring game. The two teams last met earlier this season, when the Cowboys pulled off a 30-16 win in Green Bay, but expectations are for a much closer game this time around.
That can't be said for all divisional round games.
On Saturday night, the Patriots are currently 16-point favorites against the Texans. That is the highest spread for a Divisional Round game since the 1998-99 season. The other three games look to be a little more competitive, at least on paper.
In the early game on Saturday, the Falcons opened as 3.5-point home favorites over the Seahawks, but early sharp action on Atlanta has moved the odds to -4.5 already.
The first game on Sunday opened with even odds between the Chiefs and the visiting Steelers, but the odds have since moved to make the Chiefs 1-point home favorites
Here's the full list of early odds for the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs:

The wildcard round saw all four home teams win their games quite handily, will we see a repeat performance by the home teams in the divisional round?
The Cowboys are 7-1 at home this season, while the Packers are just 4-4 on the road this year.
What are your early thoughts on next Sunday's game?
