We will see the Rams as a big favorite against the Panthers despite losing to them in Charlotte a few short weeks ago,\u201d said Joey Feazel<\/a>, Head of Football at Caesars Sportsbook<\/a>. \u201cPackers versus Bears is going to drive a lot of action, and the Eagles versus 49ers will also be a game with a lot of bets and eyeballs on the game. On the AFC side, we expect the Bills and Jaguars to drive a lot of action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe expect to need the Rams and Packers to falter in round 1 and expect there to be more handle on the NFC side of the playoffs for the first round.\u201d<\/p>\n
