The AFC Wild-Card round is barely over. Vegas doesn’t let anything get by it, however, and the lines are out for next week’s AFC Divisional round games.
The Tennesee Titans will visit the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. On Sunday, the Houston Texans will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that will feature Deshaun Watson against Patrick Mahomes.
The lines are:

The Titans and Ravens did not play in the regular season.
The Texans downed the Chiefs, 31-24, in October asWatson threw for 280 yards and a touchdown while running for two more, outdueling Mahomes, who was picked two spots ahead of him in the 2017 NFL Draft. Carlos Hyde ran for 116 yards and a touchdown against the team that traded him to Houston in the preseason, when the Chiefs decided there was no room for him in their own backfield.
The teams combined for 21 penalties totaling nearly 150 yards, and that didn’t include close to a dozen flags that were offsetting, overruled or declined.
