There is a myriad of ways to attack the NFL playoffs from a betting perspective, and we've got you covered at Yardbarker with picks and analysis for almost every market. In this story, we're examining some playoff-long prop bets that present some value at big prices. Here are the three playoff specials we're targeting for this year, including a Travis Kelce bet with a huge payoff.
This price is disrespectful. Plain and simple.
Travis Kelce has caught 16 touchdown passes in 18 career playoff games. The only player in NFL history with more? That'd be Jerry Rice with 22.
Kelce is clearly starting to fade out of his prime, but Patrick Mahomes will go back to ol' reliable time and time again in the red zone. Mahomes only trusts Kelce and Rashee Rice in this passing offense right now, and take a guess which option he'll choose with the season on the line.
The Buffalo Bills are the most likely team to play at least two postseason games, as they're set as the biggest favorites in the wild-card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They'd also be favorites in the Divisional round on their home field, so the Bills have a great chance to at least make the AFC Championship Game.
To do that, Buffalo will need James Cook to lead its rejuvenated running game. Cook finished the season strong, and he should see plenty of work this weekend in what's projected to be a snowy, windy game in Orchard Park.
Is Joe Flacco elite? We may never know the answer to the age-old question, but he sure is playing elite football for the Cleveland Browns right now.
The last time we saw Flacco under center he threw for 296 yards in the first half against the New York Jets. The week before that he sliced up the Houston Texans' secondary for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Over his last four starts, Flacco is averaging 340.5 passing yards per game.
The 38-year-old gets to go up against the same Texans on the road in the wild-card round, and he could use that game as a springboard to lead the Browns to a lengthy playoff run.
