From Week 13 to 18, Philadelphia went from being in line for a first-round bye to being forced to open the postseason on the road. Fifth-seeded Philly will travel to No. 4 Tampa Bay to play Monday night – but the good news is that BetMGM shows Philadelphia as a 2.5-point favorite to advance.
When Pittsburgh lost to Arizona by two touchdowns in Week 13, things didn't look good. They looked even worse when Pitt followed up that loss by dropping games to lowly New England and a playoff-bound showdown at Indianapolis. But when coach Mike Tomlin's crew rallied to sweep Cincinnati, Seattle and Baltimore, that earned the last wild-card spot in the conference and a Sunday afternoon date at Buffalo. BetMGM likes the home team by 10, but it would be wrong to put anything past Tomlin's confident group.
