The Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals are set to meet in the AFC Championship Game for the second time in as many seasons. Both AFC goliaths are extremely talented, constantly bringing interesting betting opportunities to the table in the process. This weekend's matchup should be no d ifferent.
Here's a look at the best same-game parlay for the upcoming Bengals vs Chiefs AFC Championship Game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Best Bengals vs Chiefs Same-Game Parlay
1. Travis Kelce – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
Travis Kelce is a threat to score a touchdown any time he sets foot on a field. The multi-time Pro-Bowler racked up a career-high 12 receiving TDs during the regular season before starting the playoffs of f with a bang, finding the end zone twice against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Cincinnati's defenders are nothing to scoff at, Kelce has two TDs in his last three games against the Bengals and even scored against them last postseason. There's no reason why Patrick Mahomes won't continue looking his way, making Kelce's +100 odds to score a touchdown worth the look.
2. Joe Burrow – Alt. Passing Yards: 275+ (-114)
If the Bengals are to make back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, Joe Burrow must outduel Mahomes again. While finishing with at least 275 passing yards is a lofty expectation, Burrow can handle it. Although the Chiefs haven't surrendered more than 275 pa ssing yards since Week 13, none of the teams they've played since then are on the Bengals' level. Funny enough, it was Burrow who was the last to record that feat (286). The former LSU Tiger has now surpassed 275 yards in two of his three career games against Kansas City, averaging 327.3 in those outings. With the Chiefs' secondary being far from perfect, expect another big showing from Burrow.
3. Tee Higgins – Receiving Yards: Under 56.5 (-114)
After playing like a man possessed for the first chunk of the season, Tee Higgins has cooled off recently. The Bengals wideout is only averaging 4 receptions for 44.7 yards over the last six games that he finished compared to 82.6 yards on 5.7 catches in his first 10. Sure, the Chiefs are slightly below average when it comes to receiving yards allowed per game (220.9, No. 18), but they also held Higgins to just 35 yards in Week 13. Considering how he's also finished with well under 56.5 yards in five of his last six completed games, I expect another quiet night from Higgins.
