The Bills are headed to Kansas City on Sunday night for a showdown with the two-time defending champion Chiefs. This will be the second meeting between these teams this season, with Buffalo taking the first matchup with a 30-21 win at home earlier this year.
The Bills come into this matchup riding high after taking down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in the Divisional Round, while the Chiefs are fresh off a home victory over the Texans. With a trip to the Big Game on the line, let's build a same-game parlay at BetMGM.
DeAndre Hopkins Under 2.5 Receptions Travis Kelce Over 68.5 Receiving Yards, Josh Allen Anytime Touchdown (+450, BetMGM)
DeAndre Hopkins has been a ghost lately. In the divisional matchup against the Texans, Hopkins was targeted just once and didn’t record a single catch. He only ran 13 routes, which is his lowest route rate since Week 8, when he was traded to Kansas City. To make matters worse, this marked the second straight game in which Hopkins finished with fewer than three receptions.
Looking ahead to Sunday, it’s hard to see Hopkins playing a significant role. Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Travis Kelce are likely to dominate the target share, leaving Hopkins under 2.5 receptions a solid bet.
Speaking of Kelce, the postseason is where he truly thrives, regardless of his regular-season numbers. He’s coming off yet another monster performance in the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Texans, hauling in seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. That game marked his ninth 100-yard playoff outing, breaking Jerry Rice’s record for consecutive 100-yard playoff games. It was also Kelce’s 14th straight postseason game with at least 70 receiving yards.
On the other side of the matchup, Josh Allen has been nothing short of Superman this season, and I expect that trend to continue at Arrowhead. Allen racked up two rushing touchdowns in the divisional round against the Ravens, bringing his season total to 12, including one he scored against the Chiefs in Week 11. Allen has been a postseason force, finding the end zone in four of his last six playoff games dating back to 2022.
