Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice in Chiefs vs. Raiders NFL Week 16
By Joe Summers
The last time the Chiefs scored 30+ was against these same Raiders, making it eight straight games Kansas City reached that mark on Vegas.
That makes this the perfect game to fire off some prop bets on, as I expect the Chiefs to put up points in bunches once against. With a chance to clinch the AFC West with a win, the Chiefs are in a great position to cash in some prop bets.
I've got best bets for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice for this Week 16 contest. Let's jump into it:
Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice in Chiefs vs. Raiders
1. Patrick Mahomes OVER 268.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Mahomes cleared this prop in four of his last six games against the Raiders, including throwing for 298 passing yards last month. I see no reason to expect him to slow down and think Mahomes will come close to 300 yards once again.
He threw for 305 yards last week against a Patriots defense that's much better than this Raiders one. It seems like the offense is finding its footing in leaning on Rashee Rice, while the return of Isiah Pacheco provides a boost as well.
Despite the impressive win over the Chargers, the Raiders still let Easton Stick average 7.3 yards per pass attempt. Mahomes is obviously much better than Stick, so I expect an effective game through the air.
Don't hesitate to trust the best player in the sport. 268.5 is far too low of a number for a player of Mahomes' ability.
