How to bet on NFL games
Here are several sportsbooks to bet on NFL games this week, along with the various NFL sportsbook promos they currently offer.
Top NFL Divisional Round Fantasy football QB projections
For NFL Divisional Round 2025, the model projects the top Fantasy football quarterback to be Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens. NFL quarterbacks have only thrown for 40 touchdowns or more in a single season on 22 occasions and Jackson was the first to throw fewer than five interceptions (four). He also was the first QB in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 900 in the same season, yet he's not considered the favorite to win NFL MVP honors for a third time (Josh Allen -470 at FanDuel).
However, that shouldn't stop you from having heavy exposure in playoff Fantasy football formats and NFL daily Fantasy against the Bills on Sunday. The Ravens beat the Bills 35-10 earlier this season with Jackson accounting for 210 total yards and three touchdowns despite throwing only 18 passes and attempting six rushes. The model predicts Jackson scores 26.22 Fantasy points on average this week and projects that he throws for 220 yards and 1.88 touchdowns on average while also rushing for 56 yards and 0.21 touchdowns.

Top NFL Divisional Round Fantasy football RB projections
Another 2025 NFL Divisional Round projection from the model, the top Fantasy football running back is Jahmyr Gibbs of the Lions. The Lions (-9.5) will face the Commanders on Saturday and Washington gave up the third-most rushing yards in the NFL this season while ranking 28th in the league in yards allowed per carry (4.8). Meanwhile, Gibbs piled up 1,929 scrimmage yards and scored 20 touchdowns during his second season.
Since David Montgomery left the lineup with a knee injury late in the season, Gibbs has piled up 487 scrimmage yards and scored six touchdowns. Now he's had a week to rest up/prepare and the model is projecting that Gibbs accounts for a league-high 25.13 Fantasy points on average in PPR leagues. It predicts that he produces 137 scrimmage yards and 1.28 touchdowns on average. See more top RBs here.
Top NFL Divisional Round Fantasy football WR projections
For NFL Divisional Round 2025, the model also projects the top Fantasy football wide receiver will be Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. For the second season in a row, St. Brown is first-team NFL All-Pro after catching 115 passes for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns. The former fourth-round pick scored in eight consecutive games at one point during the season and he's scored in three of four games entering this weekend.
In three postseason games last year (his first time playing in the NFL playoffs), St. Brown caught 22 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown. He expects to be similarly involved in his 2025 postseason debut against a Commanders squad that he busted up for nine catches, 116 yards and two touchdowns in his only meeting with them in 2022. The model predicts that St. Brown averages 6.5 catches for 78 yards and 0.73 touchdowns to finish with 18.87 points in PPR leagues on average and lead all wide receivers. See more top WRs here.
Top NFL Divisional Round Fantasy football TE projections
Included in the 2025 NFL Divisional Round projections from the model, the top Fantasy football tight end is predicted to be Lions tight end Sam LaPorta. Playing in the NFL's most diversified offense, LaPorta saw his target rate decline from 2023 to 2024 but he was still one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL on a per-touch basis. On 83 targets, he caught 60 passes for 726 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games.
Despite ranking 26th in the NFL in target rate, he ranked ninth in the league in PPR points per target (2.10) and he reached double-digits in DraftKings scoring each of the last six weeks of the season. Now the model is projecting that he accounts for a league-high 11.95 Fantasy points on average. It predicts that he catches 3.9 passes for 48 yards and 0.52 touchdowns on average.

Top NFL Divisional Round Fantasy football D/ST projections
For NFL Divisional Round 2025, the model projects the top Fantasy football D/ST to be the Kansas City Chiefs. They'll host the Houston Texans in the first matchup of NFL Divisional Round 2025 on Saturday and will look to take advantage of a disastrous Houston offensive line. The Texans gave up a staggering 54 sacks on the season and C.J. Stroud took a major step in terms of ball security (12 interceptions and seven fumbles).
Meanwhile, the Chiefs ranked fourth in the NFL in scoring defense and ninth in total defense during the regular season. Kansas City also forced three turnovers in the final three games where it played its starters. The model is projecting that the Chiefs account for a league-high 10.5 Fantasy points on average. It predicts that they average 3.21 sacks, 0.67 interceptions and 0.54 fumble recovers with 0.11 defensive touchdowns while only allowing 17 points. See more top D/ST here.
