No North American sport captures the attention of sports bettors like the NFL.

With multiple games going on at the same time on Sundays, even the most attentive bettor can't keep track of all that is going on in the NFL.

That's why we are here! Every week in this space, we will recap how the weekend went from a betting perspective.

Which bettors had the best Super Wild Card Weekend?

Weather was a big storyline, with cold temperatures for the Miami Dolphins-Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers-Buffalo Bills games.

But home teams straight up (SU) were hot, as they went 5-1 (83.3%).

Home teams and underdogs against the spread (ATS) went 4-2 (66.7%).

At the other end of the spectrum, road favorites went 0-2 ATS.
