The six NFL Wild Card Round matchups are set. The San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills are both favored by double-digits, while the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys are road favorites over uninspiring division winners.

Here is a look at the early Wild Card Weekend lines and where you should expect them to move. And here’s a closer look at Cowboys vs. Buccaneers.
Cowboys vs. Buccaneers: NFL Wild Card Weekend Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2023)
The 12-5 Cowboys are road favorites against the 8-9 Buccaneers. This is not unexpected, but it’s getting harder and harder to trust the Cowboys with each passing week. They have not looked like themselves since their 40-3 win at Minnesota.
Sure, they had an explosive fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts. Yet, they were just blown out by the Washington Commanders. They looked bad against Josh Dobbs and the Tennessee Titans. The Jaguars beat them, and they almost lost to the Houston Texans. Plus, they barely beat the Eagles with Gardner Minshew under center.
The Buccaneers have had a bad season, but they still managed to win the NFC South and have Tom Brady under center. Five weeks ago, the Cowboys would be a no-brainer pick. But with how they have been playing, this line should actually move in favor of Tampa Bay as Monday night approaches.
Current Line: Cowboys -3
Predicted Final Line: Cowboys -2.5
