6 Player Prop Bets for AFC & NFC Title Games
The NFL season is almost over. Championship Weekend is here & we’ll soon know which 2 teams will be heading to the Super Bowl. The NFC Title Game will feature the 49ers and Eagles, while the Chiefs will host the Bengals in the AFC Championship.
Not sure what sides or totals to take in these 2 games? Don’t sweat it! Check out our 6 player prop bets to make this a winning weekend. Best of luck!
Dallas Goedert Anytime Touchdown
Best Available Odds: +215 at BetRivers
Goedert grabbed just his 2nd career postseason touchdown last week. He has seen 12 targets over his last 2 games and caught all but one of them. He continues to be used in the redzone and is a matchup nightmare for this Niners defense. The over 2 to 1 value here is too much to pass up.
Jalen Hurts OVER 45.5 Rushing Yards
Best Available Odds: -115 at PointsBet
The defensive ends of the Niners will be causing much of the pass rush against Hurts. That said, he will have the opportunity to tuck it and run right up the gut against SF. With Goedert being a threat for the linebackers to deal with, it should open some good-sized rushing windows for Hurts here.
Deebo Samuel OVER 50.5 Receiving Yards
Best Available Odds: -115 at DraftKings
Deebo is likely to be used a good amount. The one weakness of this Eagles team has been defending slot receivers, and with an injured secondary, they will be even more susceptible. Shanahan is one of the best scheming coaches in the league and should be focused on exploiting this matchup mismatch on Sunday.
Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown
Best Available Odds: -105 at FanDuel
Kelce had 2 scores last week against the Jags, but what most aren’t aware of is that he had gone 6 straight games without a score. He finished the regular season with 12 touchdowns and continues to be Mahomes top target. We would initially lean Pacheco to score, but we believe the Chiefs are going to be playing from behind here and Kelce will have more opportunities.
Patrick Mahomes Over 0.5 Interceptions
Best Available Odds: -110 at BetMGM
Mahomes was able to play through the ankle sprain last week but that was with some serious adrenaline. He was able to stay clean last week and in the previous meeting against these Bengal. However, we believe Mahomes’s ankle is going to force him to stay in the pocket more than he would prefer. He is the most accurate passer when he gets outside the pocket and without the ability to get himself there often this Sunday, we believe he is going to have to force some throws into tough coverage.
Isiah Pacheco UNDER 50.5 Receiving Yards
Best Available Odds: -120 at PointsBet
The Chiefs will likely see a good number of filled boxes from the defense in this matchup. Pacheco reached 66 yards in the previous meeting, but in this one, we feel that the Chiefs are going to be leaning more on the passing game in a matchup that will likely be a shootout. As long as the Bengals can keep him from breaking off a 20-30 yarder, we should be safe here.
