For the second straight week, the Cincinnati Bengals will face cold conditions, a mauling offensive line and the top defense in the league as they host the New York Jets in a wild-card matchup Saturday afternoon.

NFL playoff betting odds have the Bengals listed as 3-point favorites.

The Jets have won seven of their last eight matchups with the Bengals, and won the teams’ only playoff meeting 44-17 in the first round Jan. 9, 1983.

After losing Wes Welker to injury in an essentially insignificant game, the New England Patriots find themselves without one of their top offensive threats as they host the Baltimore Ravens in a wild-card matchup Sunday.

The Patriots are currently listed as 3.5-point home favorites in this one.

New England is 5-0 all-time versus Baltimore, but this will be the teams’ first playoff meeting.
