Mims' AFC Divisional Playoff Picks: Jaguars vs Chiefs, Bengals vs Bills – Travis Kelce, Josh Allen props, more

The Chiefs walloped the Jaguars in November. The Bills-Bengals contest was stopped following the injury to Damar Hamlin.

The NFL AFC divisional matches are set. Two rematches of teams that played earlier in the regular season. 

The  Jacksonville Jaguars against the Kansas City Chiefs. The  Chiefs are favored by 9.5 and the total is 53.The money line is Chiefs -500 and the Jags +375. The Chiefs won the AFC Bye and are the home team. The Jags are coming in off a come from behind victory over the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 31-30.

Head Coaching Match Up: Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid over Jaguars Head Coach Doug Pederson.  

Chiefs defeated the Jags 27-17 on November 13.

Consensus: 51% of the money is on the Chiefs. The total is 66% over. Late money coming in on the Jags.

Player Prop: Travis Kelce over 79.5 receiving yards. The price is -115. Kelce had 81 yards and 6 catches in the first meeting. He goes over.

The Selection: Jags were dominated in the first meeting and Patrick Mahomes threw for 4 Touchdown passes. The Jags are playing better since that game and have won 5 straight. Chiefs will win the game, but this should be more competitive. Grab the points and the Jags.

The Buffalo Bills against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bills are favored by 6 and the total is 49.The money line is Bills -250 and Bengals +200. Bills are the home team. Bengals won their Wildcard game by a score of 24-17 over the Baltimore Ravens. The Bills  won at home against the Miami Dolphins by a score of 34-31.

Head Coach Match Up: Bills Head Sean McDermott and  Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor are even.

Consensus: Bengals have 65% of the action on them. 71% of the wagers are on the over.

Player Prop: Josh Allen with over 1.5 touchdown passes. The price is -185. Take Allen over.

Selection: The Bengals will be at a disadvantage with the loss of three of their starters on the offensive line. The protection for Joe Burrow will be key if the Bengals will have a chance in this game. I see 4 sacks by the Bills defense. Bills take care of the Bengals and cover the number. The game goes under.
