The Kansas City Chiefs will enter the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs as the biggest favorites on the board, favored by nine points against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
If you want to stay away from betting on the spread and total, or maybe you just want to find some prop bets to sprinkle on for fun, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, I’m going to give you my favorite bets to score a touchdown on Saturday. All we need for these bets to cash, is for the player we wager on to find the end zone. If they do, our bet is a winner.
Let’s dive into my favorite anytime touchdown scorers for this AFC playoff showdown.
Anytime TD prop bets Odds
Best anytime TD bets for Jaguars vs. Chiefs
- Jerick McKinnon: -120
- Christian Kirk: +195
- Patrick Mahomes: +310
Jerick McKinnon -120
Jerick McKinnon has become a touchdown machine for the Chiefs. He has scored at least one touchdown in six straight games, averaging 1.66 touchdowns per game during that stretch.
Not only can he score on the ground, but he’s become a pivotal weapon in the Chiefs passing game. Against the Jaguars in Week 10, McKinnon hauled in 6-of-8 targets for 56 yards. If we see another performance like that from him, I have no doubt he’ll find the end zone.
Christian Kirk +195
If we have to bet on a Jaguar to score a touchdown, let’s take a look at Christian kirk, who has been a favorite target of Trevor Lawrence. Last week against the Chargers, Kirk saw 14 targets, hauling in eight of them for 78 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight game scoring six points.
In Week 10 against the Chiefs, Kirk exploded for 105 yards on nine catches for two touchdowns, so I expect Doug Pederson to game plan around Kirk again in this weekend’s rematch.
Patrick Mahomes +310
Big players make big plays in big games, and that’s exactly what I expect from Patrick Mahomes this week. Mahomes already has four rushing touchdowns on the season, and with a berth in the AFC Championship on the line, don’t be surprised if he decides to use his legs close to the goal line.
At his current odds to score, I think he’s a great value bet.
