Sportsbook.com has released its early odds on the NFL Division Playoffs. 

Gambling911.com was a little surprised to see the line so low on Chargers vs. Steelers.

"We would have opened this game with a line of -9 at a minimum," expressed sports writer, Don Shapiro.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans falls more in line with what we initially forecast the line to be.  Gambling911.com had believed the odds in this game would be somewhere around Titans -3 and -3 ½.

The Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers featured a line of Carolina -10.

"The key denominator in this one will be Arizona's inability to play on the East Coast, but even more so, Carolina has been especially successful playing Arizona in the past," commented Shapiro.  "Whether the line should be -10 we're not sure.  The public is likely to go with Carolina beating Arizona by double digits though."

And despite beating the Giants their last meeting, the Philadelphia Eagles come into the Meadowlands as a +4 underdog.

"We may see this one move to +3 ½ or +4 ½ over the course of this week," expressed Shapiro.
