NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP PRISITES THAT POP -OVERS HOOD

Welcome to the conference championship around the version of props that pop. Liz Loza wore us last week and went 2-1 with his efforts. Thank God she was here because I had a terrible weekend.

Not only did my props went 0-3, but my Detroit Lions lost to the Washington commanders last week in our first game of the playoffs. It was intestinal violators. After walking 15-2 in the regular season, Lions’ best brand in their history, we lost in our first and only playoff game. At home, not less.

And then Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was hired as the new head coach of Chicago Bears. A team within the division! I will not meet his offense twice a year. However, don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about him. There are not many main trainer positions available in the NFL, so when your window is open and you are blooming as a coach, you have to take what is available. Fortunately for him and unfortunate for Lions fans, it’s a job with a young and talented Chicago team. But good luck to legs in his new role. I wish him nothing but success in 15 of his 17 games next season.

So it created a pretty tough weekend. Fortunately, this weekend is an empty slate and we bring winners to the table. So without further adieu, here’s the championship edition of the playoffs that pop! — Daniel Dopp

Quarterback props

Patrick Mahomes Over 0.5 Ints (-105)

Loza: It took a minute for Kansas City Chiefs violation to round into shape, but Mahomes has played almost flawless since the middle season. Nine of his 11 interceptions took place in the first two months of the 2024 campaign. He has not thrown a choice since week 11 when he recorded two Int’s – against Buffalo Bills.

Buffalo has distinguished himself generating takeaways and log 16 in the regular season (tied to the fifth most). Bobby Babich’s crew struggled to squeeze Lamar Jackson in the second half of last week’s play, but the bills still picked one of his passports, which is impressive considering that Jackson registered only four Int’s (the second present) during the regular season. In a tight, back and forth matchup, which is expected to show a solid number of air trials (over/under on Mahomes’ passed trials are 36.5), the chance of a choice, especially considering the odds, is worth betting on.

Josh Allen Longest Rush Over 12.5 Yards (-130)

Loza: It’s no secret that Steve Spagnuolo loves to call a flash. It often creates an atmosphere where QBS seems to flee and stretch. Kansas City’s defense allowed the fifth most rushing attempts (88) to QBS and gave up the seventh most dangerous yards (434) this season. Although Chiefs allowed the 15-to-first rush over 13 yards (seven), the longest of them was delivered with the permission of … Josh Allen (a 26-yard rushing TD).

Allen has sent eight speeds of 15 yards or more this season and 77 in his career, including the postal season. Over 10% of these races (8 out of 77) have come against chiefs. Bettors need him to only tear off 13 meters to pay out on the above prop. It seems likely, especially when he noticed that he was an average of over 31 rushing yards per day. Battle during the regular season. Here’s for a Vintage Allen performance and a win over!

Jayden Daniels Over 286.5 Passing + Heading Yards (-115)

Dopp: Daniels has been incredible this season on so many levels. Daniels rushed in 891 yards, the most yards of a rookie qb and the ninth most of a QB in the NFL history. As if that wasn’t enough, Daniels ended 69% of his passports and threw only nine interceptions. Washington commanders Rookie also threw in over 3,500 yards and 25 passers -by TDs while unlocking Terry McLaurin.

Daniels has hit this line in each of its last five full matches played. (He only played a handful of snaps in a meaningless week 18 game that was expected, so I don’t count it against this state.) He has had at least nine wears in five of his last six games and I expect him again is very involved in the running.

Daniels recently played Philadelphia Eagles in week 16, ending with 258 passing yards and 81 rushing yard to give him 339 passing + dangerous yards. I’m not sure the commanders win on Sunday, but I know Daniels will use all his ability to push his team down the field. That’s why I go over here.

Running back props

Austin Ekeler Over 46.5 Heading + Receiving Shipments (-115)

Dopp: If Washington wins this weekend, one of the guys it needs is Ekeler. Runing Back has been a consistently passersby option for Daniels this year, logging of two or more catches in 13 of his 14 games this season (including playoffs) and reached at least 20 receiving yards in eight of them. Included in the first two weeks of the playoffs, Ekeler is an average of 62.4 Scrimmage yards per year. Battle, which is well north of the line, we try to hit.

I know that Philadelphia has been good to oppose running back, specifically to keep them out of the end zone. But I think Eagles dominate the commanders and put Washington in a similar situation, it put the lions last week. And that would mean that Ekeler should have his number called for more than a few occasions to help keep drives alive. I would play this up to 49.5 rushing + receiving yards, but I wouldn’t go over the 50-yard mark.

Wide receives props

AJ Brown over 69.5 receiving yards (+105)

Loza: Brown has not gone over 36 receiving yards for three equal competitions. But I buy over in a game of massive bets (and an expected point total 47.5). Jalen Hurts tried to get the ball to his No. 1-Wideout versus Los Angeles Rams and targeted Brown a Holdhøj seven times last week. The 27-year-old recipient said the snow threw his mood and limited him to a 2-14-0 state line. Whether it’s true, Philly conditions are expected to be flag -free Sunday.

The coverage conditions are also to be friendly as Marshon Lattimore has been fighting since he returned from a hamstring question. Lattimore has allowed five receptions of seven goals for 73 yards and a touchdown (along with a passing rating of 144.6) during Washington’s postal season driving. Brown should remain a focus of Philly’s violation, especially with the vulnerable secondary of the command. He also cleared the above line the last time he faced Washington in week 16. This is tipping the portends very “inner expertise” and a solid relapse for Brown.

Hollywood Brown over 39.5 receiving yards (-105)

Dopp: Last week, a big battle for Bettors’ confidence in Brown was after delivering a two-goal, zero-reception performance in the divisional round against Houston Texans. But I’m more optimistic on my way into this week because of that. Brown’s goose eggs last week lowered the line for the players this week and I’m not complaining about it. Secondly, I do not think he will be closed for two weeks in a row. It may not feel like that, but he becomes a bigger part of the offense and goes from 27% of snaps in week 16 to 43% of snaps in week 17 to 64% of snaps last week. He plays more than ever and already topped this line twice in weeks 16 and 17.

I don’t let me scare me away last week. I think this line should be closer to 44.5 or 49.5, so I would like to take it at 39.5. I know Mahomes like to spread it around, which is why I’m targeting one of the lower reception lines instead of taking Travis Kelce or Xavier Worthy. Buffalo let QBs complete over 70% of their passports this year, the highest brand in the NFL. And if there is one thing that Mahomes knows how to do it, It’s flop like a NBA player to draw a flag It uses his arm to find open guys. I’m on over.
