With Wildcard Weekend about to unfold, Las Vegas oddsmakers are sticking to their original lines after a couple days of betting. In fact, according to Vegas Insider, the consensus point spreads for all four games have either remained unchanged or have reset to their original numbers.
The first game of the weekend features an AFC rematch between the Indianapolis Colts and the Kansas City Chiefs. The line for this game has remained constant at every casino except for Treasure Island. The Colts are 2.5 point home favorites.
The second game is between the New Orleans Saints and the Philadelphia Eagles. The consensus line in this game has remained virtual unchanged. Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles are a 2.5 point home favorite.
The Sunday schedule kicks off with the San Diego Chargers visiting the Cincinnati Bengals. Although this spread has bounced around a bit, the consensus has returned to the opening line. The Bengals are seven point favorites.
The final game of Wildcard Weekend has seen the most fluctuation in Vegas, but it too has returned to its opening numbers. The San Francisco 49ers have shifted between being a 2.5 and three point favorite so far this week. Currently, they are back to being three point favorites against the Green Bay Packers.
