Kate Constable: Josh Allen Over 299.5 Passing Yards & Stefon Diggs TD (boosted to +350 at Caesars)
The Bengals run defense is fantastic, holding teams to under 100 rushing yards per game. Their passing defense, however, isn’t quite as good, allowing 282.5 yards through the air. While Josh Allen has only gone over this number in two of his last four games, he’s topped this in five of seven games against defenses that are giving up at least 7.0 passing yards per attempt (the Bengals are giving up 7.4). And Stefon Diggs, Allen’s favorite target, has 19 targets and 218 yards in the Bills' last two games. He’s Buffalo’s biggest offensive weapon, so betting on a touchdown from Diggs always feels like a safe option.
Brad Pinkerton: BetRivers 1st TD Insurance for every game!
This is an awesome (and fun) promo that BetRivers ran every Sunday night during the NFL season and for every game in the wild-card round. Choose any player to score the game's first touchdown and get your stake back (up to $25) if that player doesn't score first but does score a touchdown in the game. So, it's about finding players with a mix of value as well as a high chance of scoring at any point in the game.
Here's who I'll be targeting in each game this weekend:
Jaguars-Chiefs 1st TD Scorer: Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon (+650)
Giants-Eagles 1st TD Scorer: Eagles RB Miles Sanders (+600)
Bengals-Bills 1st TD Scorer: Bills WR Stefon Diggs (+700)
Cowboys-49ers 1st TD Scorer: 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (+1500)
Dan Karpuc: Zay Jones Over 69.5 Rec Yds & TD (boosted to +425 at Caesars)
Jones caught eight of 13 passes for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers and has been one of Trevor Lawrence’s most trusted targets all season. In a 10-point loss against the Chiefs in November, Jones caught eight of 10 targets for 68 yards and the Jags will presumably be playing from behind in a pass-happy game script once again this week. At +425 boosted odds, this is certainly a valuable bet based on the presumed pass-first offense, Jones' downfield threat status and his clear connection with Lawrence. Keep in mind that his receiving yards total is in the mid-50s across the board, so if you’re high on him, you might as well grab this odds boost and capture the extra value if you think he can also find pay dirt.
Lucy Burdge: FanDuel No Sweat SGP for Jaguars-Chiefs
SGP: Jaguars +8.5, Under 52.5 and Trevor Lawrence Over 250.5 Passing Yds (+678)
I like the Jaguars to cover this spread, especially after how well they played in the second half against the Chargers last week. Plus, they have covered five of their last six spreads, while the Chiefs have only covered two of their last eight. And the Chiefs have hit the under in six of their eight home games, while the Jaguars have hit the under in three of their last four games overall. Also, I really like Lawrence to go over on these passing yards, as he did so the last time the Jaguars faced the Chiefs. With all three of these combined, I love the value in this with this FanDuel SGP, but we'll also get the stake back if it doesn't hit!
