Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars 

      In what should be a tight matchup between the Bills and Jaguars on Sunday, let's start with Josh Allen's rushing yards prop. The Buffalo quarterback loves to use his legs to make plays in the playoffs. Allen is averaging 51.4 rushing yards per game in his postseason career, including 58.7 rush YPG across six career Wild Card games. He's also averaging 71.8 rush YPG in four career road playoff games. 

      Allen ran for 36.2 yards per game in the regular season, but he should be above that average with the stakes now raised. Plus, the matchup could force him to take on a bigger rushing role. The Jaguars boast a strong rush defense, which may bottle up James Cook. The onus will be on Allen to take on a bigger role in the run game. Jacksonville didn't face many dual-threat QBs this season, but were vulnerable in a few matchups. The defense allowed 60 rushing yards to Patrick Mahomes, 39 yards to Brady Cook, and even 22 yards to C.J. Stroud. 

      Sticking with the Buffalo offense, look for Khalil Shakir to be busy as a top target for Allen in the passing attack. Let's lock in Shakir to get 5+ receptions and 40+ yards this weekend. The shifty wideout averaged 44.9 receiving yards and 4.5 receptions per game this season. He has at least five catches in six of his last 10 games as well. Shakir has raised his play in the postseason too. He's averaging 48.6 YPG in seven career postseason games with the Bills. That includes 46, 67, and 61 yards in three playoff contests last year, with six receptions in each. 

      On the Jaguars' side of things, Travis Etienne Jr. should play a key role as a rusher. The Bills have struggled to stop the run this year, allowing 5.1 yards per carry (third-most in the NFL) and 136.2 rushing yards per game (fifth-most). Etienne had up-and-down rushing production this year, but he still averaged 65.1 rush YPG. Getting to 50+ yards is a low bar in this matchup, especially for a guy who hit the mark in 11-of-17 games.

      San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles 

          After underperforming for most of the season, Saquon Barkley and the Eagles' run game found their stride over the past month. Barkley ran for 122, 78, 132, and 68 yards over his last four games, averaging 4.9 yards per carry in that stretch. Philadelphia should look to establish the run early and often against San Francisco this week. 

          The 49ers' run defense has struggled lately, allowing 124.4 rushing yards per game and 4.7 yards per carry over the final five games. The linebacking corps is dealing with multiple season-ending injuries, and it's allowing teams to have plenty of success on the ground. The Niners have also allowed 90+ rushing yards to three different lead backs in this span. Barkley ran for 119, 205, and 118 in the Eagles' three NFC playoff games last year. The offense should try to reignite that form to kick off this postseason run. 

          Philly's defense is usually strong against the run while boasting elite corners in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. The Eagles are also among the league's best at covering tight ends. This matchup should force plenty of dump-offs and easy completions underneath to Christian McCaffrey as the focal point of the offense. 

          Count on McCaffrey being busy as a pass-catcher as the Eagles shut down San Fran's wideouts and hold George Kittle in check. In turn, Philly is allowing the sixth-most receiving yards per game to opposing RBs (37.6). As for CMC, he averaged 54.4 receiving yards and 6.0 receptions per game this season. He had 5+ catches and in 13-of-17 games, and 40+ yards in 13 contests as well. 

          The aforementioned Eagles' style of defense should also lead to Brock Purdy using his legs more. Philadelphia's tight coverage, combined with a dangerous pass rush, will present opportunities for Purdy to scramble enough to clear 15+ rush yards. Purdy had 15+ rushing yards in five of nine games this year. Over the final four games of the season, he had 44, 28, and 21 rushing yards in three of these contests. The Eagles' defense also gave up the second-most rush yards to opposing QBs, at 23.5 per game. 

          Parlay Odds: +455

          Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots

            Sunday night's matchup between the Chargers and Patriots is a very intriguing one. New England is the slight favorite at home, but Los Angeles is very live to pull the upset. Either way, this should be a close game. Let's roll out a trio of Chargers props for our parlay. 

            Justin Herbert has many weapons at his disposal in the passing game, but Keenan Allen should play a key role on the road here. The veteran is a proven, trusted receiver for Herbert and that connection can be amplified in this scenario. The Patriots boast a strong run defense, which should force the Chargers into more quick throws for easy completions. Allen is the main beneficiary underneath. 

            Getting to 4+ receptions is a low bar for Allen to hit. He had at least four catches in 13-of-17 regular-season games, while averaging 4.8 per game this year. He's also had 4+ receptions in five of the last seven contests. Plus, back in the 2022 playoffs with Los Angeles, Allen had six catches on 13 targets in the Wild Card round. That gives us a previous track record of him producing with Herbert in the postseason. 

            Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II can also see an elevated role. The Patriots' strengths are along the defensive line and in the secondary, but they struggle to cover tight ends at times in the passing game. New England allowed 57.1 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs (11th-most in the NFL). As for Gadsden, 25+ yards is attainable despite his production tailing off in the second half of the year. The rookie averaged 44.3 receiving yards per game this season, with 25+ in 9-of-15 contests. 

            Let's now turn our attention to the other side of the ball. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been sacked 47 times this season, with opposing teams averaging 2.8 sacks per game against him. He's also been sacked multiple times in 10-of-17 games. Plus, against some top-tier pass-rushing teams, Maye was sacked six times by both Cleveland and Atlanta. 

            The Chargers racked up 45 sacks this year, with Tuli Tuipulotu leading the way with 13. As the team's leading pass-rusher, there's a prime opportunity for him to record a sack. Tuipulotu has at least one sack in six of his last nine games coming into this matchup. He also hasn't gone back-to-back games without a sack since mid-September. After failing to record one last time out vs. Houston, the edge rusher should be hungry to get to Maye and take advantage of the Pats' inconsistent offensive line.
