5 Browns at Chiefs prop bet predictions for AFC Divisional Round
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:10 a.m. ET.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes OVER 2.5 passing touchdowns (-105)
After sitting out the final week of the regular season and with the Chiefs having a first-round bye, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Mahomes. He should remind everyone just how good he is Sunday.
Against one of the worst secondaries in the NFL, it wouldn’t be a shock if he threw 3 touchdowns in the first half of this game. Take this prop with confidence as Mahomes should have a 3 or 4-touchdown day.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt OVER 50.5 rushing+receiving yards (-125)
Coming off a huge game in the wild-card round, Hunt has found a role in this offense. He’s a dynamic receiver, but he can also create big chunk plays on the ground, too. Against his former team, look for him to have another strong game and exceed 50.5 total yards as he splits touches with Nick Chubb.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce to score a touchdown anytime (-165)
When the Chiefs get into the red zone, Mahomes looks for his All-Pro tight end first. Kelce’s catch radius makes him nearly unstoppable in the end zone.
We’ve seen him have a three-touchdown game in the playoffs before and it wouldn’t be a complete shock if he did it again this week.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill’s longest reception over 25.5 yards (-130)
No player in the NFL is better at creating explosive plays through the air than Hill and with Cleveland having one of the worst safety combinations in the league, he should be able to get behind their coverage once or twice.
Look for him to have multiple receptions beyond 25.5 yards and take the Over on receiving yards, too (85.5).
Browns OVER 2.5 touchdowns scored (-110)
With the point total for this game set at 56.5, oddsmakers are expecting a ton of points. Can the Browns score into the mid-20s in this game? We think so and that’s why the Browns to score over 2.5 touchdowns feels like a safe bet.
Even if this game gets out of hand in the second half, there is some garbage time potential for Cleveland. Look for the Browns to score 3 or more times in this game.
