There’s eight teams left in the hunt for Super Bowl XLIII heading into the Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs this weekend.

It gets started Saturday afternoon when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Tennessee Titans in an AFC playoff matchup at LP Field (4:30 pm ET, CBS).

Sportsbetting.com has the Titans as 3-point favorites and the over/under total at 35.

Baltimore went 11-5 SU and 12-4 this season and beat Miami Dolphins 27-9 in a Wild Card game Saturday. Tennessee was 13-3 SU and 12-3-1 ATS and had a bye last week.

Baltimore is 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS in the past 10 meetings with Tennessee. The Titans won the last meeting 13-10 as 1-point road underdogs on Oct. 5 this season.

Next up is the Arizona Cardinals battling the Carolina Panthers in Carolina (8:15 pm ET, FOX).

Carolina is a 9.5-point favorite and the over/under is 49 at Sportsbetting.com.

Carolina is 6-2 SU and 4-4 ATS over the past eight meetings. The teams last squared off on Oct. 26 this season, when the Panthers won 27-23 but failed to cover the 5.5-point home spread.

On Sunday, NFC East rivals Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants meet in a NFC Divisional playoff game on Sunday at Giants Stadium (1 pm ET, FOX).

The Giants are 4-point favorites at Sportsbetting.com and the total is 40.5.

Philadelphia went 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS this season and beat Minnesota Vikings 26-14 in a Wild Card matchup Sunday. New York went 12-4 SU and ATS and had a bye last week.

The defending Super Bowl champion Giants are 6-4 SU and ATS over the past 10 clashes with the Eagles. The teams last met just four weeks ago, on Dec. 7, when the Eagles won 20-14 as 6.5-point road dogs.

And the final Divisional matchup has the San Diego Chargers facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday (4:45 pm ET, CBS).

Pittsburgh is a 5.5-point favorite and the over/under total is 38 at Sportsbetting.com.

Pittsburgh has dominated the past seven meetings, going 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in that span. Pittsburgh edged San Diego 11-10 when the teams last met on Nov. 16 this season. The Steelers failed to cover the 4.5-point home spread.
