With six games taking place between Saturday and Monday, the 2024 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend should live up to its name. The expanded NFL playoffs means even more opportunity to build winning NFL bets without being boxed in by unappealing lines. The Steelers won and covered in their last three games to sneak into the NFL playoff bracket, but now their momentum will be bested by the red-hot Bills, who won six of seven to come from out of nowhere and steal the AFC East.
The latest NFL Super Wild Card Weekend odds list Buffalo as a 10-point favorite with Pittsburgh missing NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate T.J. Watt (knee).

Top Super Wild Card Weekend NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Detroit Lions (-3) to cover at home against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. It's been a historic season for Detroit, as the Lions ended a 30-year drought with regards to divisional titles by comfortably winning the NFC North. Now, they'll look to end a 32-year winless drought in the NFL playoffs with their seventh home postseason game in the 93-year existence of the franchise.
The Lions were top five in the NFL in passing offense (second) and rushing offense (fifth). That balance should pose problems for a Rams that was pretty middle-of-the-road in all aspects this season (19th in scoring defense and 20th in total defense). They have a weapon-filled offense with Jared Goff, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown even if Sam LaPorta (knee) sits. The model is predicting that the Lions cover in well over 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
