Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bet for Bills at Chiefs in the AFC Championship
Well, well, well... what do you know? It's Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen in the AFC Championship Game. It's tough to bet against either of these teams given how great they have been this year, but I do think there is some value in the betting markets outside the side/spread (I do like the Buffalo Bills to win though!).
Here's my favorite same game parlay for this one based on FanDuel Sportsbook's NFL betting odds.
Bills at Chiefs Same Game Parlay Pick
Leg 1: Over 48.5 (-105)
Total Match Points
For the sake of every football fan watching the AFC Championship, can we PLEASE at least get a high-scoring shootout?
I love this bet because I really believe both offenses are going to come to life. We have seen the over hit in four of the last five games between the two, including in Week 11 when the total reached 51.
The Kansas City Chiefs averaged over 28 points per game at home this year, and the Bills were just under 28 points per game on the road. Give the people what they want: an overtime thriller between the two best quarterbacks in the league.
Leg 2: Josh Allen Over 230.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Josh Allen - Passing Yds
Speaking of great quarterbacks, let’s back the MVP finalist to air it out on Sunday.
I took Allen’s over last week as well, but unfortunately, he went under. The Bills played more conservative in the Divisional Round than I think we will see in the AFC Championship.
Allen has gone over this number the last four games versus the Chiefs, averaging over 284 yards. Though Allen holds a 4-1 regular season record vs Mahomes, he has never beaten the Chiefs in the postseason.
The key to victory for the Bills must be avoiding turnovers and creating explosive plays, two areas that have become second nature to Allen.
Leg 3: Khalil Shakir Over 57.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Khalil Shakir - Receiving Yds
If we are taking the over on Allen’s passing yards, we should target a player he will be throwing it to. I like betting on Khalil Shakir.
In Week 11 versus Chiefs, he had 8 receptions on 11 targets for 70 yards. Shakir is utilized a lot in the slot and does a great job at finding soft spots in zone coverage. This matches up well with a Kansas City team that plays a lot of zone defense. Shakir has also cleared this line in both playoff games this year.
