- Travis Kelce: Over 95 Receiving Yards
The top-seeded Chiefs enter this game as 8.5-point home favorites. They have advanced to the AFC title game each of the past four years, so taking them to win outright against the upstart Jaguars involves too much risk.
The slightly riskier proposition here is taking tight end Travis Kelce to rack up 95-plus receiving yards. Patrick Mahomes‘ security blanket put up a 6-81-1 line in a 27-17 victory over Jacksonville during the regular season and usually saves his best efforts for the postseason.

Kelce has eclipsed this number in each of his last six playoff games, last failing to hit in Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Against a Jaguars defense that has struggled to contain tight ends all season long and just allowed Gerald Everett to lead the Chargers in receiving (6-109-1), this shouldn’t be too tall of a task.

For this Jacksonville vs Kansas City longshot parlay, I’m taking my initial SGP and adding a teased-down version of the Over. That should give us some extra wiggle room if the Jaguars aren’t able to keep up.
I’m also taking Mahomes to throw three or more touchdown passes, something he did eight times during the regular season and in all three of his postseason contests last year.
Since I’m expecting the Chiefs to score at least three touchdowns, I’ve also added two guys to find the end zone. McKinnon, who has primarily been used as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, scored in Kansas City’s final six games and Kelce is about as reliable as red-zone targets come.
Put it all together, and we’ve got a reasonable game script for a high-scoring Chiefs victory.
