NHL Best Bets for Tuesday (11/19)
Kenneth Le
We are onto the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs/ To me, this is the best week of the NFL season, you get four games and great matchups with a chance to make the conference title game on the line.
In the Saturday games, we have the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs, hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars after the Jags put together an all-time comeback in the Wild Card Round. We also have the Giants taking on the Eagles in the late game, but Saturday’s same-game parlay comes from the AFC game.
DraftKings Same Game Parlay of the Day
Kansas City Chiefs Moneyline
Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Travis Kelce Over 74.5 Receiving Yards
Travis Etienne Under 64.5 Rushing Yards
My same game parlay this week will be known as the “Travis Bet,” because I am focusing on Travis Kelce and Travis Etienne. To start us off, I am taking the Chiefs moneyline. I am being a tad safe here with this play. Kansas City has not played exactly great down the stretch and Jacksonville is on a tear, but I do expect the Chiefs to pull away in the end, but it should be a close game.
The second part of my parlay involves Travis Kelce. Kelce had another incredible year for the Chiefs and will be a huge part of the game plan in this one. The Chargers were able to get tight end Gerald Everett involved all game long with over 100 yards and a touchdown last week against the Jaguars. I would expect nothing less from Kelce Saturday. Kelce had 6 receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown the last time these two teams matched up. In the playoffs, Kelce is a whole different animal — he has 12 touchdowns and almost 1,300 yards in 15 career playoff games. I am expecting Kelce to be a huge part of the Chiefs game plan early and often at home.
The last part of my parlay is Travis Etienne coming in under 64.5 rushing yards. Etienne has had a fantastic season, but going against the Chiefs at Arrowhead in a playoff game is a different level. The Chiefs’ run defense is in the top 10 in the league in rushing yardage allowed. The last time they played, Kansas City was able to get up early and eliminate Etienne a little bit. I expect the same to happen this week with the Chiefs being at home.
Overall, I am anticipating the Chiefs to win this game but possibly not cover the full 9.5 spread it currently sits at which is why I am playing it safe on the moneyline. With the Chiefs winning, I am going with Kelce having a nice playoff game and the Chiefs run defense to come up huge.
