Bengals vs. Chiefs SGP Predictions

Joe Burrow Under 304.5 passing yards (-200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Burrow had a remarkable season with over 5,000 passing yards in the regular and postseason combined. Despite this, he only achieved 300+ passing yards in five games this season. In seven out of his last eight games, he fell short of reaching that milestone.

Burrow has been instrumental in the Bengals’ 10-game winning streak, but their success is ultimately a team effort. Despite the media hyping up a potential shootout between Burrow and Mahomes, the previous meeting between the two teams was a close game where Burrow did not throw for 300 yards and had to lead his team from behind in the fourth quarter.

You might consider reducing this number even further to boost your parlay odds, but it’s wise to include at least one safer play in each parlay.

Jerick McKinnon anytime touchdown scorer (+160) ⭐⭐⭐

Jerick McKinnon, the running back for KC, saw his touchdown streak come to an end last week after scoring in six straight games. What was even more surprising was that he didn’t make a single catch, and wasn’t even targeted. This was unexpected, as in the five games before, he had been targeted at least three times in each game.

As Mahomes plays through a hobbled ankle, the Chiefs will focus on getting the ball out of his hands quickly. This strategy benefits tight end Travis Kelce and McKinnon. McKinnon has been a consistent check-down option for Mahomes all season, with the Chiefs regularly incorporating plays for him. With a full week to game plan for Mahomes’ ankle, this trend is likely to continue.

Tee Higgins Under 54.5 receiving yards (+105) ⭐⭐⭐

Recently, Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins has struggled to make an impact in the Bengals’ passing game. Over the last six games, he has only surpassed 40 receiving yards once. In the playoffs, he has been targeted 10 times in five games, with his longest reception being 12 yards.

In their initial meeting, he managed just three receptions for 35 yards and found the end zone once on only five targets. Given the Bengals’ multitude of offensive options and their potential focus on running the ball to control possession, similar to their strategy against the Bills last week, it is expected that Higgins will have difficulty making an impact in this game.
