The 2021 NFL Playoffs will begin on Saturday when the Indianapolis Colts visit the Buffalo Bills to kick off an expanded Wild Card Weekend schedule. With the NFL playoff bracket expanded from 12 teams to 14, there are now just two teams receiving byes and six Wild Card games instead of four. Now, bettors across the country are studying the 2021 NFL odds in search of the best values.

The Chiefs and Packers will both wait until next week to begin their postseason run, and they're the two favorites in the latest 2021 Super Bowl odds from William Hill Sportsbook at +180 and +450, respectively. However, betting on NFL futures is all about identifying value. Before you make your NFL postseason bets or 2021 Super Bowl predictions, you'll want to check out the 2021 NFL Playoff picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Best values for 2021 NFL Playoff picks

One of the model's best bets for the postseason: The Indianapolis Colts are a strong value to win the AFC at +1800. Indianapolis is the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff bracket, but the Colts are coming off an 11-5 season in which they ranked in the top 10 in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, and total defense.

The Colts had a scoring differential of plus-89 and outgained opponents by 735 yards. They'll have a tough road as the No. 7 seed playing all their games on the road, but Indianapolis beat two playoff teams as visitors during the regular season (Chicago, Tennessee). In those two victories, they allowed just 281.5 yards of total offense per game.

If Colts quarterback Philip Rivers can protect the football while continuing to threaten downfield (7.7 yards per pass attempt), the Colts will be a tough out for anybody. That's why the model predicts they'll win the AFC in 6.1 percent of simulations, far outpacing their implied odds of 5.3 percent.
