Best Bets for Buccaneers, Lions and Chiefs, Bills Divisional Round Games: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Rachaad White, Josh Allen and More
Here is each team's best prop bet for the Sunday slate of Divisional Round playoff games. We also threw in a few bonus props.
The fantasy football season may be over for most of us, but we can still watch our favorite players and make prop bets. Here we will go over the best prop bet from each team in Sunday's Divisional Round games.
Divisional Round Top Props
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Over 7.5 Receptions (-125)
The Bucs have an outstanding rush defense and a bad pass defense. This should allow St. Brown to dominate in this game. Tampa Bay doesn't have anyone that can even slow him down. When you add in the fact that Sam LaPorta is still less than 100% just two weeks removed from a hyperextended knee and wide receiver Kalif Raymond has been ruled out, St. Brown should see all the targets he can handle. Only once this season has St. Brown seen less than seven targets and he's only landed on seven twice. The opportunity will be there and he will clear this line in this game. St. Brown should be the favorite to be the top overall receiver on the week.
Rachaad White, Over 3.5 Receptions (+124)
This bet burned us last week, but we're going right back to the well. None of us saw the Eagles getting blown off the field like that last week and the game script doomed White in the passing attack. This week, we have faith that Detroit will at the very least make this a very close game. The Lions also have an elite rush defense, so dump-offs to White will have to serve as the rushing attack for all intents and purposes. Despite a disappointing showing last week, we are rolling with him again because last week he was a victim of circumstance. On Sunday the Bucs will have to fight in this game and passing to White is one of their biggest weapons on offense.
Isiah Pacheco, Over 61.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
Pacheco will be the most important player in this game and will be the driving force that carries the Chiefs to victory. He's topped this mark in five of his last seven games and in three of his last four, including the last two. It's going to be a cold night in Buffalo with a banged-up Bills' defense and we expect Pacheco to dominate. We would be shocked if he doesn't clear this mark by 20 yards and all he needs to cover by half of a yard. We love this bet on Sunday night.
Josh Allen, Anytime TD Scorer (-115)
Allen scoring a rushing TD in a big game has become as safe a bet as you can make. The guy has run in 16 TDs so far this season. In his past 16 games, he's scored a rushing TD in 13 of them and two rushing TDs in three of them. He's just as likely to score TDs as he is to not score any at all. This is a bet I make every week and it will hit this week just like it did last week. Of every bet we made here, this is the one we are most confident in.
Bonus Bets
Rashee Rice, Over 68.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
I have been in love with Rice since the draft process when I ranked him above Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, and said he should be a top-25 pick in the NFL Draft. So I'm not about to abandon him now as he emerges as the WR1 for Patrick Mahomes. He will be the breakout wide receiver in these playoffs and these games are going to skyrocket him up draft boards this summer. The playoffs will give a chance to shine on the biggest stage and he has been and will continue to do just that on Sunday. We are all in on the emergence of the rookie and haven't been wrong yet.
Josh Allen, Over 0.5 Interceptions (-130)
Year after year, Allen is the most mistake-prone quarterback in the league. No one has turned the ball over at a higher rate than him since he entered the league. He also has a tendency to try to do too much in these big games which costs his team dearly. With all the talent the Chiefs have at cornerback, I fully expect him to get picked off at least once and probably a few times. No one should be shocked if the Bills' season ends on an Allen turnover and we once again see Patrick Mahomes riding into the AFC Championship Game.
