Leg #1: Chiefs -8.5
The first leg of our Texans vs Chiefs Same Game Parlay is for the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread as a home favorite. The Chiefs have not made a habit of blowing teams away this season. With that said, there are a couple of reasons we like them to do so in this game. A massive rest advantage is the first of those reasons, as the key players for the Chiefs haven’t had to play in around three weeks, after they rested players in Week 18 and had a bye in the Wild Card round.
Also working in the favor of Kansas City is the fact that their defense is so effective. The Chiefs ranked fourth in the NFL this season in points per game allowed, conceding just 19.2 points per game. With their defense well-rested and with plenty of time to prepare for this game, we expect the Chiefs to come out and shut down the Texans en route to a convincing victory in the Divisional playoffs.
Leg #2: Patrick Mahomes Under 249.5 Passing Yards
Next up in our Texans vs Chiefs SGP is for Patrick Mahomes to stay under his passing yardage total of 249.5 yards. Mahomes has warned everyone to expect Travis Kelce to step up on the big stage of the postseason once again going into this game. But the Chiefs might not need to air it out late in this game, as we expect them to have a sizable lead heading down the stretch.
Mahomes has only hit 250 passing yards in nine of his 16 games this season. That is just barely over 50% of the time, despite Mahomes’ reputation implying that he would go over that number way more often. Between that and our anticipated game script for this contest, we expect Mahomes to stay under 250 passing yards from Arrowhead Stadium.
Leg #3: Isiah Pacheco Anytime TD Scorer
Finally, we will select Isiah Pacheco as an anytime touchdown scorer for the Chiefs in this matchup. Pacheco only had one touchdown this season as he missed a ton of time due to injury. But Pacheco scored in three of Kansas City’s four playoff games last season. Now that he is back on the field and it is crunch time for the Chiefs, we expect Pacheco to find the end zone from a short-yardage situation to help his team win this game.
