The Las Vegas Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs in a critical AFC West showdown on Sunday Night Football. Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning, with the 5-3 Raiders having a small lead on the 5-4 Chiefs. Whoever wins this game will have the inside track to claiming a playoff spot and possibly winning the division.

With so much on the line, who will step up in this game? Here are three props bets I'm looking at ahead of tonight's game with all odds coming from WynnBET.

Best Prop Bets for Chiefs vs. Raiders

  • Travis Kelce 70+ Receiving Yards (-110) 
  • Patrick Mahomes OVER 23.5 Rushing Yards (-125) 
  • Hunter Renfrow OVER 45 Receiving Yards (-130)

Travis Kelce 70+ Receiving Yards (-110)

Kelce hasn't been quite as dominant this year as in the past, but he got back on track against the Packers last week with 68 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Raiders haven given up 535 receiving yards to tight ends this year, 10th most in the NFL, and Kelce has dominated them in the past, going for over 100 yards and a touchdown in both games last year. I see him continuing that trend this season.

Patrick Mahomes OVER 23.5 Rushing Yards (-125)

The Raiders aren't particularly good at limiting rushing yards to quarterbacks, giving up 27.3 per game, sixth worst in the NFL. Mahomes has also gone over the number five times in eight games. He hasn't relied on his legs much the last few games, rushing for -2 yards against the Packers last week and 10 against the Giants the week before.

But in games where the Chiefs score 20 or more points, he's gone over in four of seven games. I'll say they score more than 20 in this one and Mahomes reels off a few big runs.

Hunter Renfrow OVER 45 Receiving Yards (-130)

Renfrow has gone over this number in six of eight games this year. In one of the two he didn't go over this number, he finished with 45 on the number. Equally importantly, Renfrow has eight or more targets in four of his last five games. The -130 odds aren't great, but I like the 45 number more than 55 over at -110.
