Welcome to NFL Super Wild Card Weekend, where “home-field advantage” feels more like a trap.
With road teams favored in several matchups and high-profile veterans like Matthew Stafford and Brock Purdy looking for statement wins, the playoff bracket is primed for absolute chaos. If you’re looking to cash in on the madness, these three underdogs are ready to ruin everyone’s parlay.

1. Carolina Panthers (+10.5) vs. L.A. Rams
Los Angeles enters as massive favorites with Davante Adams back in the lineup, but don’t ignore the history. Carolina already stunned the Rams back in Week 12.
While the Rams are heavy -600 favorites, a double-digit spread in a divisional playoff atmosphere is a lot of points. Bryce Young has shown a knack for keeping games close at home.
2. Chicago Bears (+110) vs. Green Bay Packers
This is the 2025 season “rubber match” between these old school rivals. Despite Green Bay being the -1.5 road favorite, the Packers are currently riding a four-game losing streak.
The Caleb Williams led Bears have found their rhythm at the perfect time and have the home crowd behind them for this Saturday night main event.
3. San Francisco 49ers (+220) vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles are the No. 3 seed, but the 49ers are the nightmare matchup no one wanted. Brock Purdy’s ability to quickly distribute to Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle against a Philly secondary that has been inconsistent late in the season makes this an upset of the weekend candidate.
The Underdog Parlay:
-
Panthers +10.5 (-110)
-
Bears Moneyline (+110)
-
49ers +6 (-106)
