📺 How to live bet the Divisional Round
Live betting is all about getting a feel for the game as you watch. Trust your gut and the on-field play, and make the call - based on the below advice - before the value seeps away.
Alternative totals are an excellent way to optimize profits. If you see something develop, trust yourself and commit before it's too late. But don't overcommit. Sometimes, patience is the name of the game as you'll want to take note of developing trends.
Texans vs. Patriots live betting strategy
- The Patriots went 0-for-3 in the red zone against the Chargers
- Houston and New England have two of the three worst TD efficiency rates in the red zone of the remaining teams
- The Patriots have the worst red-zone defense and the Texans rank 4th of the remaining teams
- New England allowed more than 20 points in only 2 of the previous 6 games, while Houston conceded more than 20 in 2 of the last 9
🐂 Texans vs. Patriots best in-game betting tip
I expect a low-scoring game. If one of the teams scores an early TD, look for value on an Under, whether a 1Q, half, or game total

Rams vs. Bears live betting strategy
- The frigid conditions at Soldier Field, which you can read about in our Divisional Round weather report, could impact proceedings severely
- However, the Bears have averaged 17 points in the 1st quarter of the previous 3 games (the most), while the Rams scored 11.7 per first quarter in that timeframe, the 3rd most
- Williams has orchestrated 7 4th-quarter comebacks this season, including against Green Bay in the Wild Card Round
- The Rams won in the final minute against Carolina
🐂 Rams vs. Bears best in-game betting tip
- If the weather cooperates, look for value on the Over 1Q total (Over 9.5 at -126) during the first few minutes. However, if conditions are particularly inclement, find the opportune moment to back the Under
- If the game is close going into the 4th quarter, find value in the Rams. I believe it's their time to end the Bears' impressive comeback run
