\"There<\/a>
There are many exciting props for the Kansas City and Houston playoff game game Saturday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not only can you bet on the sides and totals for the NFL playoffs, but props can be a profitable and fun way to wager on the games. Let’s take a look at some of the team and player props for the first Wild Card game of the weekend between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans.<\/p>\n

Will the First Score of the Game be a touchdown? (TD -140 \/ FG or Safety +110)
\n<\/strong>While both teams enter the playoffs on hot streaks, neither is spectacular on offense and have really good defenses. I like the first score to be a field goal rather than a touchdown. Plus you get the unlikely safety as a bonus.<\/p>\n

Will there be a score in the first 7:30 of the Game? (Yes -135 \/ No +115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again with two good defenses, I believe they will feel each other out for the first part of the game. I think No is a good bet for this prop.<\/p>\n

Will Either team score three straight times? (Yes -185 \/ No +155)<\/strong><\/p>\n

When these two teams met in week one in Houston, Kansas City took a 27-6 lead in the third quarter. Houston rallied to within 27-20 late in the game. That ended up being the final score. These teams are so much better now and I think it will be back and forth. I like no in this prop.<\/p>\n

Will either team kick a field goal over 44 yards? (over 44 -115 \/ under 44 -115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I expect to see a lot of drives stall around the 30-35 yard line. Both teams have reliable kickers, especially from long distance. Kansas City kicker Cairo Santos is 13\/19 from 40 yards or beyond. Houston kicker Nick Novak is 6\/9 from 40 and beyond. I like over 44 yards for this prop.<\/p>\n

Which Team will make the longest field goal? (Kansas City -135 \/ Houston +115) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Santos, the rookie from Brazil, has been a revelation at kicker. He has plenty of leg and I like the Chiefs to have the longest field goal.<\/p>\n

Which team will score the longest touchdown? (Kansas City -135 \/ Houston +115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chiefs’ quarterback Alex Smith isn’t exactly know for having the strongest arm. He does have an 80 yard touchdown throw to running back Charcandrick West. Still, I just think Houston has more explosive receivers, especially with DeAndre Hopkins. I like the Texans to have the longest touchdown.<\/p>\n

Total field goals made in the game? (under 3 -135 \/ over 3 +115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

With these two defenses, I see more field goals than touchdowns. I like over three field goals.<\/p>\n

Alex Smith pass completions (under 19 -125 \/ over 19 +105)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smith averages 19 pass completions per game. Still, against the fierce Texans’ pass defense I think under is likely.<\/p>\n

Alex Smith passing yards (under 213 -135 \/ over 213 +115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, Smith averages around 203 passing yards per game. Under looks like a good bet for passing yards as well.<\/p>\n

Charcandrick West rushing yards (under 49 -130 \/ over 49 +100)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houston’s rush defense isn’t as fierce as the pass defense, but they ares till #10 in the league. I think Kansas City can move the ball on the ground and I like over 49 yards for West.<\/p>\n

Cairo Santos points (over 7 -125 \/ under 7 -105)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like over in this prop as that is only two field goals and two extra points.<\/p>\n

Brian Hoyer passing yards (under 240 -150 \/ over 240 +120)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kansas City has a top ten pass defense, but I think Hoyer can move the ball through the air. I like over 240 yards for Hoyer.<\/p>\n

DeAndre Hopkins pass receptions (under 7 -120 \/ over 7 -110)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think Hopkins will have a big game with over 7 receptions.<\/p>\n

Hopkins receiving yards (under 92 -130 \/ over 92 +100)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like Hopkins to have over 92 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

J.J. Watt total solo\/assisted tackles (under 5 -130 \/ over 5 +100)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite battling numerous nagging injuries this season, Watt still had 76 tackles and 17.5 sacks. I like him to have over 5 tackles in this game.<\/p>\n
