Resolution Criteria
The market resolves to the game with the lowest combined point total across all four Divisional Round matchups played on January 17-18. The four games are:
Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET: No. 6 Bills at No. 1 Broncos
Saturday, 8 p.m. ET: No. 6 49ers at No. 1 Seahawks
Sunday, 3 p.m. ET: No. 5 Texans at No. 2 Patriots
Sunday, 6:30 p.m. ET: No. 5 Rams at No. 2 Bears
Resolution will be determined by official NFL scoring records. In case of a tie, the market resolves to all tied games.
Background
The Broncos boast one of the NFL's top defenses, allowing just 18.3 points per game during the regular season. Houston boasts one of the NFL's top defenses, while New England set the stage for what could be a defensive showdown after sacking Justin Herbert six times on Sunday night. These defensive strengths could contribute to lower-scoring contests.
Considerations
The 1970 divisional round battle between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions combined for only five points, making extremely low-scoring games rare in playoff football. Most modern divisional round games feature significantly higher scoring.
