The 2024 NFL playoffs bracket is coming into focus with the divisional round set for Saturday and Sunday. Six games remain to determine who will face off in Super Bowl LIX, which will be played Sunday, Feb. 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The winners of Saturday's games will advance to play their victorious conference counterparts from Sunday's games in next week's conference championship games.
It all begins on Saturday when the AFC and NFC's top seeds, fresh off their wild-card byes, play host to the lowest remaining seeds in each conference. The first game will feature the Houston Texans on the road against the two-time defending champions Kansas City Chiefs, with the second game pitting the Washington Commanders against the current Super Bowl favorites, the Detroit Lions.
On Sunday, it will be Los Angeles Rams traveling to the Philadelphia Eagles in the early game, while the MVP front-runners will square off in the late game, as Lamar Jackson quarterbacks the Baltimore Ravens against his counterpart Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
Here are the lines, spreads and totals for the divisional round games.
