What to watch when betting a playoff game
- Rest: a top seed with a bye has not played in weeks, while its opponent just played.
- Injuries from the conference title game or the previous round.
- Neutral-site travel and which fan base is closer to New Orleans, Louisiana.
- Early line moves, which often come within a day of the matchup being set.
