AFC Championship Game Prediction: Josh Allen 10+ Rushing Attempts (-105)
Josh Allen‘s legs have become a focal point of Buffalo's offensive strategy, especially in critical matchups like this one.
Allen has averaged 8 rush attempts per game over his last nine while leading the league in scramble rate.
That rate increases against man coverage, underscoring his ability to exploit gaps and make plays with his feet.
Buffalo has leaned heavily into Allen's rushing ability, evidenced by 40 designed runs and 11 rushing touchdowns in the past nine games.
For comparison, during the season's first half, Allen had just 19 designed runs and 3 touchdowns, showing a clear shift in offensive philosophy.
This shift is especially relevant against Kansas City.
Allen has recorded double-digit rushing attempts in each of the last six matchups with Steve Spagnuolo‘s defense including 12 rushes for 55 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 and 12 rushes for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns in last season's playoff meeting.
The Chiefs, who struggle against mobile quarterbacks, face a significant challenge containing Allen's size and power.
AFC Championship Game Prediction: Xavier Worthy Over 49.5 Receiving Yards
The Bills defense has struggled to contain wide receivers all season (30th in yards per target to slot receivers), and Xavier Worthy is well-positioned to take advantage.
A dynamic speedster who excels at creating separation and stretching the field, Worthy has already proven he can exploit Buffalo’s weaknesses, as shown by his earlier performance this season with a touchdown and 61 yards against them.
As the season has progressed, Worthy has become a more integral part of Kansas City’s offense.
His ability to consistently get open and make plays downfield has earned him a steady role in the Chiefs’ passing attack, especially in high-leverage situations.
With Patrick Mahomes leading one of the league’s most aggressive air attacks, Worthy’s knack for turning opportunities into big gains makes him a key asset in this matchup.
Buffalo’s defensive unit has dealt with injuries and lapses in coverage, leaving openings for players like Worthy to thrive.
NFC Championship Game Prediction: Jayden Daniels 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+120)
Philadelphia’s defense has struggled all season to prevent passing scores, ranking 27th in opponent passing touchdown percentage.
While the Eagles can limit overall yardage to some extent, they have consistently allowed teams to capitalize in the red zone and on big passing plays, making them susceptible to quarterbacks who can exploit their secondary.
Daniels has been on a hot streak, throwing 2+ passing touchdowns in seven of his last eight games.
His poise under pressure and knack for making plays in the red zone make him well-suited to exploit the Eagles’ defensive weaknesses.
Despite facing a relatively soft slate of quarterbacks this season including Cooper Rush (twice), Bryce Young, and Drew Lock the Eagles have remained vulnerable to passing scores.
This vulnerability is amplified by their strong run defense, ranking fifth in rushing touchdowns allowed, which forces opponents to attack through the air.
