Brandon Anderson predicts that AJ Brown will have a big game against the Washington Commanders and recommends betting on over 60.5 receiving yards for him at -110 odds. He cites that Washington's defense has allowed high production to true wide receiver ones this season, averaging 7 catches on 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in 9 out of 14 games. Anderson notes that Washington uses man coverage and single-high defenses frequently, schemes against which AJ Brown excels, ranking number one in PFF grade against man coverage and second in yards per route run against single-high defenses. He projects AJ Brown to have 8-12 targets, 6-8 catches, and 70-115 yards. Anderson also suggests considering bets on AJ Brown for 90+ yards at 3 to 1 odds and highlights his strong historical performance against Washington, including eight targets in four straight meetings.

Brandon Anderson predicts that the Philadelphia Eagles will adopt a run-heavy offensive strategy against the Washington Commanders. He believes that with Jalen Hurts recovering from injury and potentially limited in mobility, the Eagles will focus on their strong running game. Anderson notes that Washington's defense ranks in the bottom 10 against the run and recalls that Saquon Barkley rushed for over 100 yards in the first quarter against them in the last game. He expects the Eagles to capitalize on this weakness.

Brandon Anderson highlighted Khalil Shakir as a player to watch in the upcoming game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs. He anticipates that both teams may be trailing during the game, which would speed up the pace and increase passing opportunities. Anderson likens Shakir's potential role to that of Julian Edelman's Super Bowl MVP performance, involving quick, short passes to move the chains. He expects Shakir to receive multiple short receptions, contributing significantly to the Bills' offense.

Evan Silva stated that with the Commanders advancing to the NFC Championship game, Cliff Kingsbury is likely to stay as head coach for another year, which is beneficial for Jaden Daniels and the entire offense. Silva praised Kingsbury's play-calling, noting that he was "in his bag" during the game against the Lions, leading to a big-time offensive performance. He emphasized that even critics can agree that Kingsbury's continued presence is positive for the team's offensive success.

Chris Raybon advocated for betting on Dalton Schultz to record over three and a half receptions in the upcoming game between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs. Raybon noted that C.J. Stroud, the Texans' quarterback, may struggle to find open receivers against the Chiefs' defense, which plays man coverage at one of the highest rates in the league. With injuries and changes in the Texans' receiving corps—including the departure of Deontay Johnson and the absence of tight end Cade Stover due to injury—Schultz's route participation has increased to 87%. Raybon highlighted that the Chiefs give up the fifth-most schedule-adjusted targets to tight ends, and in their previous matchup, Schultz caught five passes on eight targets with a touchdown. Given the anticipated game script with the Texans likely playing from behind, Raybon expects Schultz to receive a high number of targets, making over 3.5 receptions a favorable bet.

George Stuckey recommended betting on Dalton Schultz to exceed his receiving yards prop in the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Stuckey highlighted that tight ends have had significant success against the Chiefs, with a tight end surpassing 40 receiving yards in 12 of 17 games this season. On average, tight ends facing Kansas City record six catches on nearly eight targets for just under 70 yards per game. With fellow tight end Cade Stover on injured reserve, Schultz is expected to see increased opportunities. In their previous meeting, Schultz had five receptions for 45 yards on eight targets. Stuckey believes that, with the Texans likely needing to pass frequently due to playing from behind, Schultz will be a key target for C.J. Stroud, making the over on his receiving yards prop a favorable wager.

George Stuckey suggested that the Houston Texans can cover the 8.5-point spread against the Kansas City Chiefs in their divisional round matchup. Stuckey's model projects the game to be closer to a seven-point margin, indicating potential value on the Texans. He acknowledged concerns about the Texans' offense facing pressure from the Chiefs' defense and quarterback C.J. Stroud's challenges against Kansas City's schemes. However, he noted that the Texans have performed well as underdogs this season and have familiarity from their recent game in Kansas City, which should help in managing the high-pressure environment. Despite Patrick Mahomes' impressive 6–0 record in the divisional round, Stuckey believes the Texans can keep the game within the spread.

Chris Raybon recommended betting on Sam LaPorta to exceed 48.5 receiving yards in the divisional round matchup between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders. Raybon highlighted that LaPorta has been dominant against man coverage, which the Commanders frequently use, and that Jared Goff excels against man coverage as well. He noted that over the last five games, LaPorta has averaged 5.8 receptions on 7.8 targets for 67 yards, a significant increase from his early-season averages of 2.8 receptions for 36 yards. Additionally, the Commanders rank 26th in DVOA against tight ends and have struggled to defend the middle of the field. Raybon emphasized that LaPorta is becoming a key red zone target and that the market hasn't fully adjusted to his increased role and recent production.

George Stuckey emphasized that for the Houston Texans to have any chance against the Kansas City Chiefs, tight end Dalton Schultz needs to be heavily involved and exceed expectations. Stuckey noted that Schultz's involvement is critical due to the Texans' offensive struggles and the need to exploit the Chiefs' vulnerabilities over the middle of the field. He mentioned that quarterback C.J. Stroud must utilize quick passes and target Schultz to mitigate the Chiefs' pass rush, especially with pressure coming up the middle from players like Chris Jones. Stuckey also highlighted that the Chiefs' defense is overrated and that their pass defense has been vulnerable due to injuries and facing weakened opponents. By focusing on Schultz and incorporating him into the game plan, the Texans can improve their chances of keeping the game competitive.

Chris Raybon predicted that the Kansas City Chiefs' passing game is poised for a major performance against the Houston Texans due to their upgraded receiving corps and strategic playoff adjustments. Raybon highlighted that the Chiefs now have Marquise Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, and Xavier Worthy as their top three receivers, along with tight end Travis Kelce. This provides Patrick Mahomes with the best supporting cast he's had in years. He noted that the Chiefs typically shift to a super pass-heavy, high-percentage offense in the playoffs, and with increased speed on the field, receivers will come open more quickly. Raybon emphasized that Worthy could be a significant factor, both in the passing game by exploiting slot matchups against depleted Texans safeties and linebackers due to the absence of Jalen Pitre and Jimmy Ward, and in the run game, as Worthy has three rushing touchdowns. He also mentioned that the Chiefs' offensive line remains strong, and Mahomes is expected to excel against a Texans defense that may struggle against the diverse and speedy Chiefs receiving options.

George Stuckey argued that the Kansas City Chiefs defense is overrated and remains vulnerable to passing attacks, which could be exploited by the Houston Texans. Stuckey pointed out that while the Chiefs defense has appeared strong statistically, they've benefited from facing teams with significant injuries, particularly at quarterback and offensive line positions. He cited examples such as playing against the Bengals without Tee Higgins, the Falcons losing two starting offensive linemen, the 49ers losing all their skill players, and other teams with injured key players like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and David Njoku. Stuckey emphasized that the Chiefs pass defense hasn't been truly tested by a fully healthy and competent passing offense. He also noted that the return of cornerback Jaylen Watson is helpful but not transformative, as the Chiefs secondary still has weaknesses. Stuckey suggested that Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud could find opportunities in the passing game, provided he can handle the pressure and utilize weapons like tight end Dalton Schultz and wide receiver Nico Collins.

George Stuckey predicts Sam LaPorta will have a big receiving day against the Washington Commanders, expecting over 48.5 receiving yards. He cites LaPorta's recent increase in production, averaging 5.8 catches on 7.8 targets for 67 yards over the last five games compared to his earlier season averages of 2.8 catches on 4 targets for 36 yards. Over the last five games, this projects to an 18-game pace of 105 catches and 1,200 yards. Stuckey notes that the Commanders' defense against tight ends is worse than it appears due to facing an easy schedule and opponents missing key tight ends like Trey McBride and Dallas Goedert. He believes LaPorta will have easy catches, expecting around eight targets with potential explosive plays. Stuckey mentions that the Lions' offense is expected to score a lot and suggests taking the over on LaPorta's receiving yards.

Stuckey expressed concern over the health of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown, noting that both players are not fully healthy, which could limit the Eagles' offensive explosiveness. After rewatching the previous game, he observed that A.J. Brown is clearly not at 100%, which is significant because the Rams' corners have struggled against number one and two receivers. With Hurts also not fully right, Stuckey believes the Eagles may struggle to exploit the Rams' secondary. This supports the case for betting the under, as the Eagles may not score as prolifically as expected.

Stuckey recommended betting the Baltimore Ravens' first half money line at minus 110 against the Buffalo Bills, citing several reasons for the Ravens' advantage. He highlighted that Lamar Jackson is the most profitable quarterback in NFL history in the first half, covering 66-68% against the spread across various scenarios. Stuckey believes the Ravens are a bad matchup for the Bills due to the Bills' vulnerable run defense, which allows a high rate of explosive runs—a significant disadvantage against Lamar Jackson. He noted that the Bills' defense has been declining over the second half of the year and has faced a relatively easy schedule of opposing offenses. Additionally, the Bills are the second-worst defense in the NFL at defending over the middle of the field, which the Ravens can exploit even without wide receiver Zay Flowers. Stuckey also pointed out that the Ravens can stop the Bills' rushing attack without adjusting their defense, whereas the Bills would need to drastically alter their defensive strategy to stop the Ravens' rushing offense. For these reasons, he expects the Ravens to have the upper hand in the first half.

Stuckey recommended betting on the Baltimore Ravens to be leading at halftime against the Buffalo Bills. He believes the Ravens have matchup advantages that will allow them to sustain drives more consistently, particularly by exploiting the Bills' weaknesses at linebacker and safety positions. Stuckey noted that in their first meeting, the Ravens ran 34 times for 271 yards at an average of 8 yards per carry, dominating the game. He also cited that Lamar Jackson is the most profitable quarterback in NFL history against the spread in the first half, supporting his confidence in the Ravens' early performance. While he acknowledges that Josh Allen and the Bills could stage a comeback in the second half, he trusts Lamar and the Ravens to secure a first-half lead.

Stuckey predicted that Isaiah Likely will score a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills, offering value at 4-to-1 odds. He noted that the Bills have shown vulnerabilities in the red zone and against tight ends, which Likely could exploit. With the Ravens potentially needing to pass more, Likely is expected to have an increased role and favorable matchups in the middle of the field. Stuckey highlighted that Likely came close to scoring in the previous game and believes he is poised to find the end zone in this matchup.

Stuckey suggested a long-shot bet on C.J. Stroud to lead the game in rushing yards at 40-to-1 odds during the Texans vs Chiefs matchup. He believes that the Chiefs' focus on passing may limit their own rushing totals, and the Texans' running backs might struggle against the Chiefs' defense. Stuckey pointed out that Stroud has demonstrated the ability to scramble effectively, showing impressive speed in a recent game. If the Texans fall behind, Stroud may resort to running more, potentially accumulating significant rushing yards. Stuckey considers this bet to offer intriguing value given the circumstances.

Chris Raybon suggested that tight end Teagan Quitoriano could see increased playing time and potentially make an impact due to injuries on the Houston Texans roster. Raybon noted that Quitoriano hasn't played much recently, with only two catches last year and seven the year before, including two touchdowns. If the team employs more two tight-end sets for blocking purposes, Quitoriano might get more snaps and opportunities. With limited depth at the tight end position, he could be a sleeper pick for those looking for a deep fantasy option.

Stuckey highlighted the potential for Irv Smith Jr. to have a strong performance in an upcoming 'revenge game.' With other tight ends injured or unavailable, Smith could see increased targets and playing time. Stuckey mentioned that it's 'just him and Quitoriano' at the tight end position, suggesting that Smith may take advantage of the opportunity to contribute significantly to the offense.

Stuckey recommended considering Teagan Quitoriano as a longshot bet to score a touchdown. With the Texans possibly using more two tight-end sets and Quitoriano being activated, he might get opportunities, especially in red zone situations against the Chiefs.

Stuckey suggested a longshot bet on C.J. Stroud to lead the game in rushing at 40 to 1 odds. He believes with the Chiefs' defense and potential game script, Stroud may scramble more and accumulate rushing yards, potentially surpassing all other rushers in the game.

Chris Raybon recommended betting on Isaiah Likely to score a touchdown at 4 to 1 odds against the Bills. He expects Likely to find the end zone due to a great matchup and potential Bills red zone regression.

Stuckey predicted that Isaiah Likely would exceed 33.5 receiving yards against the Bills. He believes Zay Flowers will not play or won't be effective, leading to more targets for Likely, who will benefit from favorable matchups against vulnerable Bills linebackers and safeties.

Stuckey suggests betting on the Buffalo Bills in the second half against the Ravens. He points out that Josh Allen is historically the most profitable second-half quarterback against the spread, with a record of 74-44-3 (63%) and a 15-2 ATS record this year. Stuckey believes that if the Bills are trailing at halftime, Allen's heroics could lead to a comeback victory.

Stuckey advises betting on the Baltimore Ravens' first half money line against the Buffalo Bills. He believes the Ravens will lead at halftime due to their ability to sustain drives and exploit the Bills' weaknesses in rush defense. Stuckey highlights that Lamar Jackson is the most profitable first-half quarterback against the spread in NFL history.

Stuckey said he recommends betting on the Baltimore Ravens first half money line at -110 against the Buffalo Bills. He highlighted Lamar Jackson's exceptional first-half record, noting that he's the most profitable quarterback in NFL history in the first half. He cites the Ravens as a bad matchup for the Bills due to Buffalo's vulnerable run defense, which allows explosive runs—a weakness against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. He also mentions the Bills' defense has been trending down and their struggles defending over the middle of the field, which Baltimore can exploit.

Stuckey said he plans to bet the under in the Eagles vs Rams game, considering both first half and full game totals. He believes the Eagles will likely win and control the clock with long drives. He also points out concerns over the Rams' offensive performance outdoors and notes that key players like Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and WR A.J. Brown may not be fully healthy, potentially limiting the offensive output.

Chris Raybon mentioned he is showing value on the over for Brian Robinson's rushing attempts prop at 8.5. He suggests that despite previous heavy usage against Tampa Bay, Robinson might exceed this low carry total against the Lions.

George Stuckey suggested betting the Detroit Lions team total over 33 points against the Washington Commanders. He believes the Lions offense will perform exceptionally and expects them to score at least five touchdowns in the game, noting that the Commanders defense is 'legit bad' and unlikely to stop the Lions offense indoors.

Chris Raybon said he believes the entire Detroit Lions offense will 'cook' against the Commanders. He expects offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to deliver a strong game plan in what might be his last game before taking a head coaching job elsewhere, leading to a dominant performance by the Lions offense.

George Stuckey said Sam LaPorta will have a huge game against the Commanders, expecting him to easily surpass 48.5 receiving yards. He cited LaPorta's last five games where he averaged 5.8 catches on 7.8 targets for 67 yards, projecting to 105 catches and 1,200 yards over 18 games. Stuckey believes the Commanders' defense against tight ends is worse than the numbers show due to an easy schedule and injuries, and expects LaPorta to have around eight targets and several explosive plays.

Chris Raybon suggested betting on Xavier Worthy to score a touchdown at +220 odds. He notes Worthy's recent usage, including multiple carries in recent games and touchdowns, making him a good candidate to score against the Texans.

Chris Raybon highlighted that the Chiefs' offense is at its strongest in years with DeAndre Hopkins fully integrated, and the additions of Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy. He expects Patrick Mahomes to capitalize on the Texans' defense, especially with key defenders missing, and predicts a prolific offensive performance.

Chris Raybon expressed concern that the Texans' offense will struggle against the Chiefs' interior pressure, particularly from Chris Jones. He indicated that CJ Stroud could have difficulty handling pressure up the middle, and that defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo may neutralize key targets like Nico Collins, making it a challenging matchup for Houston.

George Stuckey believed the line is too high at 8.5 points and leaned towards the Texans covering against the Chiefs. He noted that CJ Stroud has been good as an underdog, and that the Texans' defense might be the best left in the playoffs. Despite concerns over the Texans' offense, he thought Houston could keep it close, especially if Dalton Schultz is involved and Stroud uses his legs more.

Chris Raybon predicted that Chiefs' receiver Xavier Worthy will be a significant factor against the Texans. He explained that with Houston missing safeties Jalen Pitre and Jimmy Ward, Worthy can exploit favorable matchups in the slot. Raybon also mentioned that Worthy may contribute in the run game, making him a key player in the Chiefs' offensive strategy.

Chris Raybon believed that for the Texans to have any chance against the Chiefs, tight end Dalton Schultz must be heavily involved and exceed his receiving numbers. With CJ Stroud expected to face heavy pressure from the Chiefs' defense, quick passes to Schultz are crucial.

George Stuckey predicted that Sam LaPorta will surpass 48.5 reception yards against the Commanders. He noted that LaPorta excels against man coverage, which the Commanders frequently use, and that Washington ranks poorly against tight ends (26th in DVOA). LaPorta's recent surge in production, averaging 5.8 catches for 67 yards over the last five games, supports this prediction.

George Stucky suggested betting on the Texans +8.5 points against the Chiefs. He noted that his line is closer to under seven and believes the line is a little too high. Stucky acknowledged concerns about the Texans' offense but thinks they can keep it within the spread.

Chris Raybon picked Dalton Schultz to have over 3.5 receptions against the Chiefs. He noted that with tight end Cade Stover on IR, Schultz's route rate has increased to about 87%. Raybon believes that the Chiefs' defense, which gives up the fifth-most schedule-adjusted targets to tight ends, will allow Schultz to have a big game. He expects Schultz to be heavily targeted as the Texans may struggle to find open receivers due to the Chiefs' strong man coverage.
