Who's going to punch their ticket to the Championship games, and which players are going to step up? The NFL Playoffs are heating up, let's take a look at the markets, thanks to betcha.
The No. 1 seed Denver Broncos play host to the Buffalo Bills who come off an exciting win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The bye week, as well as home field advantage, will be massive for the Broncos, but Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are hungry to make a deep playoff run in a rare wide open AFC.
Both teams possess a top 10 passing defense, so whoever can get the edge on the ground should come out on top.
So, with that being said, let’s dive into a multi I like the look of.
Player Props:
- RJ Harvey Over 56.5 Rushing Yards (1.88)
The Buffalo Bills give up the fifth most rushing yards per game, which was on full display in their Wildcard win over the Jaguars, allowing over 150 rushing yards. With the Bills passing defence also being lockdown, I expect the Broncos to rely on their rookie running back to carry most of the load.
- Pat Bryant 30+ Receiving Yards (1.72)
Another rookie I expect to step up for the No. 1 seeded Broncos is Pat Bryant, who when given his opportunities has been a very reliable target for Bo Nix. Although the Bills have a stout passing defence, the Broncos threw the fourth most passes in the league this season, so I can see a couple getting through for the young receiver.
- Josh Allen 30+ Rushing Yards (1.48)
Josh Allen needs to prove why he is last year's MVP. After a lacklustre season by his standards, Allen is presented with one of his best chances at a Super Bowl since entering the league. If he needs to, Allen can carry the offense on his back, and with an elite defense across from him, I think he’ll be running for his life.
- James Cook Under 75.5 Rushing Yards (2.15)
The lead running back on the best rushing offense in the league and I’ve got him here to underperform, why? James Cook was held to only 46 rushing yards against the best rush defence in the league last week, and now comes up against the second best who come into this contest fresh off a bye, it’ll be tough for Cook again this week.
- Khalil Shakir 5+ Receptions (1.35)
Khalil Shakir stepped up big time last week for the Bills and is quite far and away Josh Allen’s favourite target. With Shakir primarily in the slot, he won’t see a lot of DPOY Pat Surtain, and with the relentless pass rush of the Broncos, Allen will be looking for Shakir early and often.
COMBINED MULTI = 12.82
Anytime touchdown scorers:
- RJ Harvey (1.80)
- Josh Allen (1.95)
- Courtland Sutton (2.90)
- Bo Nix (3.80)
After a week off for the Seahawks, they host their division rival San Francisco 49ers who upset the Philadelphia Eagles at home last week.
With George Kittle going down injured last week, the 49ers come to Seattle with an injury report as long as a Costco receipt.
Do I think the 49ers’ incredible underdog story continues? No I don’t, as they limp into one of the most formidable stadiums against an overwhelming defence fresh off a bye.
Player Props:
- Sam Darnold 200+ Passing Yards (1.36)
San Francisco are most vulnerable through the air and Sam Darnold has been so consistent getting the ball to his playmakers in the passing game all season, and in the most crucial game of his career I expect him to get the Seahawks moving through the air.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 96.5 Receiving Yards (1.88)
The favourite for Offensive Player of the Year leads the league in receiving yards and will be a major factor in this game if he wants to send his Seattle Seahawks to the NFC Championship. Sam Darnold and JSN have been connecting all year on the deep ball and I think they have a couple more in them this playoff run.
- Jake Tonges 3+ Receptions (1.24)
Losing George Kittle is a massive loss for the 49ers, but in his absence Jake Tonges has stepped up and hit this number in all but one game without Kittle this season, bringing in over six catches on three occasions. This defence is tough, and the odds for this pick are low, but if you’re feeling risky, take it up to four or five catches in your multi.
- Christian McCaffrey Over 103.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (1.90)
Christian McCaffrey is basically RB1 and WR1 without Kittle in this offence, and averages 125 total yards per game this season. The Seahawks defence is on another level but I think sheer volume and need will get CMC over this number.
COMBINED MULTI = 5.02
Anytime touchdown scorers:
- Christian McCaffrey (1.80)
- Zach Charbonnet (2.02)
- Jauan Jennings (3.30)
- Jake Tonges (3.80)
It will be another major battle of defenses as the Patriots and Texans meet in New England with a trip to the AFC Championship on the line.
The Texans, coming off the back of a dominating defensive display, travel east to take on a red hot MVP hopeful Drake Maye, and a defense that is top 10 against the run and pass.
Expect a low scoring gritty affair with the stars on both sides needing to step up if they want to advance.
Player Props:
- Drake Maye Under 219.5 Passing Yards (1.88)
The Houston Texans defense is unstoppable. They gave up on average, 183.5 passing yards per game in the regular season, and just held Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to less than 150 passing yards last week. I love Drake Maye and have underestimated him before, but this defence is something else.
- Rhamondre Stevenson Over 39.5 Rushing Yards (1.88)
As much as I love TreVeyon Henderson, the usage of Rhamondre Stevenson in their most important game of the year showed me that the Patriots trust Stevenson more. If the Patriots want to have any success offensively and open it up for Drake Maye, they need to get things going on the ground, so I’m taking the Over. (You can water this down to 30+ Rushing Yards for 1.40)
- Rhamondre Stevenson Over 2.5 Receptions (1.90)
With the pressure the Houston Texans bring, I see a lot of dump offs to Rhamondre Stevenson, especially on third down. The Steelers’ running backs last week combined for 5 catches, and I think Rhamondre gets it done this week for New England. (You can water this down to 2+ Receptions for 1.28, or take 20+ Receiving Yards for 1.75)
- Xavier Hutchinson Over 2.5 Receptions (1.90)
With Nico Collins being ruled out with a concussion, someone needs to step up in this offence. In the two other games Nico Collins missed this season with injury, Xavier Hutchinson had five catches in both, so I’ll gladly take the Over 2.5 this time around.
- Jayden Higgins 30+ Receiving Yards (1.55)
The rookie has stepped up when it mattered throughout the year and recorded all 39 of his yards last week after Nico Collins exited the game. I’m looking at him to step up again and hit this total. An Anytime Touchdown at 4.00 isn’t a terrible option either.
COMBINED MULTI = 20.51
Anytime touchdown scorers:
- Rhamondre Stevenson (2.65)
- Dalton Schultz (3.15)
- Jayden Higgins (4.00)
- Austin Hooper (7.25)
Arguably, the NFL has left the best game until last. Especially if you love offensive football.
The No. 2 seed Chicago Bears play host to the Los Angeles Rams, who boast the best offence left in the playoffs.
With the offensive weapons in abundance on both sides of the football, I expect a shootout, which is fantastic if you are wanting to bet into this game on betcha.
Choose your favourite touchdowns scorers for each team, multi them together and you could be looking at a nice payout to end the Divisional round of the playoffs.
Player Props:
- Matthew Stafford 2+ Touchdown Passes (1.46)
When the Rams get to the Red Zone they love to dial up the pass, leading to Matthew Stafford leading the league in Touchdown Passes with 46 during the regular season. With three last week, I think 2+ Touchdown Passes is a great add to your multi.
- Blake Corum/Kyren Williams To Have 100+ Rushing Yards Combined (1.80)
Chicago allow the third-most rushing yards per game face a formidable offence that can gain on you from anywhere. The Rams love to use both of their running backs, so instead of choosing, I’ll use betcha’s ‘Rushing Yards Combo Markets’ to have both backs work towards winning this bet.
- Puka Nacua 7+ Receptions (1.44)
Puka Nacua is a Top 3 offensive weapon in the whole entire league, and this juggernaut of an offense runs through him. Every man and their dog knows Nacua is getting the ball, but this year there has been no way of stopping him. Playoff game for their life, I want to bet on him getting the ball a tonne.
- Davante Adams Anytime Touchdown (1.87)
The league’s receiving touchdown leader hasn’t caught one in three straight games, so I believe he is due. The volume will be there, the offence will be ticking, and I’m sure Matthew Stafford will do everything to feed his favourite Red Zone target when it matters.
- Caleb Williams Over 219.5 Passing Yards (1.88)
Keeping pace with the Los Angeles Rams offensively is no easy feat, but the offensive brilliance of Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, combined with the vast skillset of Caleb Williams will make that task a lot more manageable. Let’s hope Williams will need to air the ball out.
- Colston Loveland Over 57.5 Receiving Yards (1.88)
Colston Loveland is Caleb Williams’ number one target, and the playoffs are when these weapons need to step up. Loveland stepped up in a massive way last week going over 130 receiving yards. If the Bears want a shot they need to feed their big Tight End, and I’m hoping they do.
COMBINED MULTI = 15.53
Anytime touchdown scorers:
- Davante Adams (1.87)
- Blake Corum (3.80)
- Kyle Monangai (3.60)
- Luther Burden (4.20)
