The game of the day is the late-afternoon rematch of last season's AFC Championship showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.

I broke down my best bet for this afternoon's matchup HERE, but with a game this good, it'd be a shame not to wager on a few prop bets as well.

Here are my three favorites to consider for today:

Best NFL Prop Bets for Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals

  • Joe Burrow OVER 2.5 passing TDs (+172)
  • Hayden Hurst OVER 34.5 receiving yards (-110)
  • Isiah Pacheco OVER 14.5 rushes (-114)

Joe Burrow OVER 2.5 passing TDs (+172)

This may come as a surprise, but the Kansas City Chiefs are allowing the second most touchdowns per game this season, giving up an average of 2.0. That should bode well for Burrow today, especially considering he's set to get back his best weapon, Ja'Marr Chase.

Burrow threw for four touchdowns against the Chiefs in their regular season meeting last year.

Hayden Hurst OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-110)

There was some rare trash talk between these two teams this week, mainly coming from Justin Reid directed towards the Bengals tight end, Hayden Hurst.

The bulletin board material may lead to Hayden Hurst having a big game. He has surpassed this total in four of his last five games, and he's coming off a game against the Titans where he saw nine targets, hauling in five receptions for 57 yards.

I'll back Hurst to have a big game today.

Isiah Pacheco OVER 14.5 rushes (-114)

Isiah Pacheco has taken over the backfield in Kansas City. He has played over 50% of the offensive snaps in two of the last three games and he ran the ball at least 15 times in all thre of those matchups.

If those numbers continue, he should no problem hitting the over on this number once again, especially considering he's coming off a 22 carry, 69 yard performance against the Rams.
