Player Props, Anytime TD Scorer Bets for JAX-KC AFC Divisional

Patrick Mahomes Over 310.5 Passing Yards (-114, FanDuel)

Oddsmakers are expecting Mahomes to throw a passing parade. Not one quarterback would be tasked with a prop total that high, except for Magic Mahomes, who has topped 310.5 yards in 10 of his 17 games this season, including nine of his last 12 games.

This is a highly favorable matchup for the Chiefs quarterback. Jacksonville allows the sixth-most yards through the air (239.3 per game) and just gave up 273 yards to Justin Herbert, who was missing deep threat wideout Mike Williams in the Wild Card match.

Mahomes has logged 313-plus yards passing in all three of his meetings with Jacksonville, averaging 340.7 per contest. He even posted 331 yards on the Jags in Week 9.

Patrick Mahomes Longest Completion Over 38.5 Yards (-110, DraftKings & BetMGM)

When you pair Andy Reid’s play-calling with Mahomes’ cannon of an arm, you get big play after big play. The quarterback has connected on a pass of at least 39 yards in nine of last 12 appearances, and even led the NFL in passes of 40-plus yards (13) this past regular season.

This Saturday, we will see a ton of deep shots down the field, and at least one of them is bound to connect. The offense had a week off, so we should expect to see the receivers run wild with fresh legs.

Jerrick McKinnon Anytime TD Scorer (+119, Caesars)

Jerrick McKinnon is listed as a running back, but he does most of his damage as a receiver, particularly in the scoring department. The Chiefs back has logged at least one touchdown in six straight games, including two scores in half of them.

Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/IR) and wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) are going to sit out this matchup, giving McKinnon at least one more outing to seize most of the high-value touches in the backfield.
