Chiefs vs Saints Props

All props taken Dec. 19th from DraftKings/FanDuel/BetMGM

Prop #1: Kelce Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught a minimum of eight passes in six straight games. His receptions have accumulated over 100 yards in five of Kansas City’s past six games.

Here is a comprehensive list of every player in the NFL that’s had 90+ Rec and 1,200+ Rec Yards in each of the last three seasons:

In terms of price, the betting line on receiving yardage pays off better than the odds on total receptions.

Pick: Travis Kelce over 85.5 yards in receptions (-112), 1 unit.

Prop #2: Kamara To Come Up Big

There’s been an evident drop in the numbers of Saints’ all-purpose running back Alvin Kamara during the past six games. He’s averaging 48.6 yards rushing and 23.8 yards receiving per game over that span.

During New Orleans’ first seven games, Kamara went for 61.6 yards per game on the ground and 79.4 yards per game through the air.

However, he was targeted 10 times last week against the Eagles. Kamara saw a combined 14 targets over the previous four games.

This week, Brees, who loves to get the ball to Kamara, is back under centre. As well,  the Chiefs defense has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per attempt (4.6) and the fourth-most yards per target (6.5) to RBs during the 2020 season.

Pick: Alvin Kamara over 48.5 yards in receiving (-118), 1 unit.

Chiefs vs Saints Touchdown Props

Who Are the Best Bets To Score a Touchdown?

There’s a couple of Hills to die on in this game. Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill has scored an NFL-leading 16 touches on 89 touches this season. That means he finds the end zone every 5.65 times he has his hands on the football.

Tyreek Hill has scored 57 TD since entering the league in 2016.

That is more than DOUBLE the amount of many stud WRs:

▪️ Keenan Allen (27)
▪️ Odell Beckham (27)
▪️ Julio Jones (26)
▪️ Allen Robinson (23)
▪️ Robert Woods (23)@cheetah 😤😤😤 pic.twitter.com/ZP2gxPjRN2

Taysom Hill might be out as New Orleans’ starting QB, but that doesn’t mean the man crush that Saints head coach Sean Payton has one him is diminshed. It would be just like Payton to draw up a red zone play to get Hill to break the plane.

• First touchdown scorer Taysom Hill +1500
• Anytime touchdown scorer Tyreek Hill -162
