This article will highlight eight prop bets on quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for the NFL’s Conference Championship games that appear favorable based on the output of the Professor’s predictive model. The numbers and prices available are from DraftKings.

Game 1: Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes, QB, KC: 289.5 Passing Yards, 2.5 Passing TDs
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, KC: 37.5 Rushing Yards
Joe Mixon, RB, CIN: 56.5 Rushing Yards
Tee Higgins, WR, CIN: TD Scorer
The NFL’s Divisional Round of the playoffs may have spoiled us, but it is difficult to envision the AFC Championship playing out in a fashion that doesn’t highlight the talents of quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, and that means The Professor is looking for pro-offense bets that make sense in the context of the model, which projects an average game between these teams on Kansas City’s home turf.
