2024 Conference Championships Dark Horse Wagering Picks | MyBookie NFL Playoff Props Preview

2023-24 NFL | 104th season of the National Football League
NFL Conference Championships: Sunday, January 28th, 2024

Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown +125

The best passing to catching combination in the National Football League will get another chance on Sunday. Tons of discussion about Travis Kelce and his off the field life, but the dude is still a baller. He is the best catching option for Patrick Mahomes in the offense. He caught two touchdown passes a week ago, and we like him to get into the end zone in this game as well. It’s him or Rice in the passing game more often than not.

Isaiah Likely Anytime Touchdown +285

With all the talk about Mark Andrews coming back to action in this game, we like Likely and his odds to get into the end zone. Lamar Jackson is going to need a big body target in the red zone, as the Chiefs are not going to let him run it in. Likely is that guy. This is a good bet to make with solid odds.

Isiah Pacheco OVER 65.5 rushing yards -115

The former Rutgers running back has gone over this number in his last three games, and four out of the last five. In the postseason, the Chiefs have given him the ball 39 times in two games. If the Chiefs get ahead, Pachecho is going to get the rock. He should get over 65 if he can get to 15 carries in this game. We like this bet for the Chiefs.

Lamar Jackson OVER 62.2 rushing yards -115

The Kansas City Chiefs are going to figure out their defensive plan that keeps Jackson from running it into the end zone, but they do not have an answer for his random runs throughout the game. Jackson rushed for 100 last week, and it is clear, the Ravens have given him the green light to use his legs. He also had 62+ in back to back games in December when things were still in the balance for the team. We like Jasckson to get 10+ carries and go over 62 yards in this one.

Jadecveon Clowney OVER 0.25 sacks +165

A little more of a speculation play here. Mahomes will take sacks at times, and Clowney is due to get him. Clowney did not have a sack against the Texans, but did in the regular season finale against the Steelers. We like the odds here, therefore will be one of our dark horse wagering picks for the AFC title game.

Christian McCaffrey 2+ Touchdowns +145

Moving to the NFC side of things. This is the best player, the most dynamic player, and the player that can determine who wins the Super Bowl. When Christian McCaffrey gets going, he is nearly impossible to stop. If the 49ers know what’s right for them to get to the Super Bowl, they get CMC the football. McCaffrey had two last week, and has had many games this season with multiple touchdowns. At +145, we like the odds on this one. San Francisco goes to the former Stanford star early and often.

Sam LaPorta Anytime Touchdown +150

Detroit is going to score in this game. They will pass the ball a ton. Therefore, LaPorta is the big body we like to get into the end zone. The former Iowa Hawkeyes tight end caught 10 touchdowns in the regular season. He had one in the win against the Rams, but not last week against Tampa Bay. He did finish with 65 yards in the game though. We like LaPorta at +150 to score for Detroit.

Jared Goff OVER 261.5 passing yards -115

If this game goes the way we think it will, Goff may get to 300+ yards, and still lose in this game. Goff can really throw the football, and Detroit has been known to give him plenty of chances. He has thrown the football 32+ times in six of his last seven starts. Just twice during that span, did he finish under 262. Once was 257 in a win over Minnesota. The Lions get behind, and they are going to throw all the time. We like Goff and the OVER here!

David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs UNDER 43.5 and 48.5 rushing yards -115 and -110

We like BOTH of these bets. The Lions are going to struggle to run the ball early, fall behind in the game, and abandon the run. Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Lions offense moves to strictly the pass game, and it takes these two out of the equation. If you can add these both on a parlay, we recommend BOTH. Montgomery finished with just 33 last week, and Gibbs had 25 the previous week. While its a risk to keep BOTH running backs down, we like the game scripts for it.

Jared Goff OVER 0.5 interceptions -166

With throwing the football, there will come plenty of chances for turnovers. Goff has gone three straight games with no interceptions, but also had two in a loss to Dallas late in the season and two at Chicago. When the Lions lose, Goff turns the ball. The 49ers defense is going to be ball hawking without a doubt. We like the OVER on interceptions, and also are not opposed to betting the OVER 1.5 interceptions. When it rains it pours. The 49ers defense has two interceptions last week against Jordan Love, why not repeat it this week?
