Patrick Mahomes OVER 23.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Patrick Mahomes’ rushing prop might feel a bit high at first glance if you've just been checking the box scores. After all, the Chiefs' superstar has only hit this mark once in his last five outings. Don’t overlook his willingness to scramble when it counts. Mahomes has proven repeatedly that he’s not afraid to use his legs, especially in the playoffs. Against the Bills in previous postseason battles, he’s showcased that mobility. Mahomes has logged at least six rushes in four of his last five playoff appearances. This number could be a steal if he sees a similar volume on the ground this Sunday.

Jayden Daniels UNDER 54.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Commanders vs. Eagles Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
The Washington Commanders face a critical challenge in the NFC Championship Game: effectively advancing the ball downfield is essential for a victory. The Commanders' rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, has been a significant asset this season. While he's poised to make some headway with his arm, please don't count on his legs to do much of the heavy lifting. In his last two outings, Daniels has scraped together just 87 yards on the ground, averaging a mere 3.0 yards per carry. Facing the formidable Philadelphia Eagles defense, these numbers aren’t likely to see an uptick. We already saw Daniels rush for under 20 yards when these teams faced off in Week 11. The outcome might not be that low, but doesn't it exceed the lofty number of 54.5?
Spread: Eagles -6.5 | Moneyline: Eagles -270 | Commanders +220 | Total: 47.5
Saquon Barkley UNDER 125.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Championship Sunday Top Player Props: Commanders | Eagles | Bills | Chiefs | Travis Kelce
Saquon Barkley has been the golden ticket of the Philadelphia Eagles' postseason run. In his recent contests, Barkley has been churning out yards at an extraordinary rate of 6.0 yards per carry. While that figure is undoubtedly commendable, it's likely not one that you can expect to continue, even after the elite season he just put together. If you factor in every carry except his two big scampers last week, he only averaged 2.7 yards per attempt. Limiting the big play is going to be massive for the Washington Commanders. Barkley falling under the number has some nice value to it.
Dalton Kincaid OVER 3.5 Receptions (+108)
Bills vs. Chiefs Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
Let’s start things off with a high-value play that deserves attention. Dalton Kincaid may not have blossomed into the offensive weapon some expected in the passing game for the Buffalo Bills this season, but there’s a notable trend worth highlighting. In his two career matchups against the Kansas City Chiefs, Kincaid has been a reliable target, hauling in five catches in each game on 13 total targets. The Bills see something they can exploit when they line Kincaid up against the Chiefs, and there’s no reason to believe they won’t go back to that well here. Add the enticing plus-money odds, and this play becomes even more appealing.
Spread: Chiefs -1.5 | Moneyline: Chiefs -122 | Bills +104 | Total: 48.5
James Cook OVER 55.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
AFC Championship Game ATD: Chiefs | Bills
In this matchup, a crucial goal for the Buffalo Bills will be getting James Cook into a rhythm early. Cook has elevated his game to new heights this season, and he'll need to bring his A-game against a tough Chiefs defense. He’s had success against Kansas City before, eclipsing the mark in two of his last three showdowns with the Chiefs. We've already seen him play a significant role and deliver in Buffalo’s postseason games this year. We're looking toward that trend continuing here.
