Vegas releases opening Wild Card lines, fresh Super Bowl odds

The NFL Playoffs were set on Sunday night after the conclusion of Week 17’s games.

Subsequently, Vegas has set its opening lines for Wild Card Weekend.

Kansas City and Jacksonville each are 8-point favorites over Tennessee and Buffalo, respectively. New Orleans is a 6.5-point favorite against Carolina (which it has already beaten twice this season), while the Los Angeles Rams are 6-point favorites over Atlanta.

ESPN gambling writer David Payne Purdum pointed out the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s fresh odds on Twitter:
