Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season has finally reached the playoffs and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks still have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best and easiest to win NFL DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NFL, Single Stat consists of quarterback passing yards, running back rushing yards, and wide receiver receiving yards in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some single-stat scores for the NFL's Championship Round games scheduled for Sunday, January 30th.

Single Stat NFL Totals
Travis Kelce over .5 receiving touchdowns - Kelce has scored in each of his last five games including a score against these Bengals back in Week 17. He has also scored a total of 11 touchdowns in 18 games this season. This is a solid matchup for Kelce as well as the Bengals have allowed eight touchdowns to the tight end position on the season and have also allowed the ninth-most red zone touched to tight ends. Kelce has seen an average of over eight targets per game across his last five games and should continue to be a focal point for Mahomes and this offense on Sunday.
Joe Burrow over 280.5 passing yards - Joe Burrow and the Bengals will enter this game as touchdown underdogs and will likely have to go toe-to-toe with the Chiefs' offense if they want to advance to the Super Bowl. This is exactly what Burrow did back in Week 17 when he threw for 446 passing yards and four touchdowns in a 34-31 victory over these Chiefs. While this was a huge number, the Chiefs did allow the eighth-most passing yards to quarterbacks this season and just allowed Josh Allen to carve them up for 329 passing yards in the Divisional Round. This is also a number Burrow has hit in three of his previous four games including a 348-yard passing performance against the Titans in the Divisional Round last week.
Cam Akers under 55.5 rushing yards - Cam Akers is coming off a rough game in which he carried the ball 24 times for just 48 rushing yards and also fumbled the ball twice, losing both of them in critical moments of the game. It may be a bit tougher for Sean McVay to trust him in this game, especially if Darrell Henderson Jr. suits up for this one as expected. Even if Akers is the feature back in this game, he will be going up against a 49er defense that allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards to running backs in 2021. In the playoffs, the Niners have also allowed just a combined 3.17 yards per carry in their first two games.
Jerick McKinnon over 35.5 receiving yards - The Chiefs have found yet another weapon in their offense with the injection of Jerick McKinnon. He has caught 11 balls on 13 targets for 135 yards and one touchdown through the Chiefs' first two playoff games. The matchup this week should allow him to get over the nark again as the Bengals have allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game to backs in 2021. They have allowed an average of over six receptions and over 45 receiving yards per game to the position. With the game expected to be fast-paced with a total pushing 55 points, McKinnon should see plenty of work in this one.
Other Recommendations - Travis Kelce over 70.5 receiving yards, Deebo Samuel over .5 touchdowns, Joe Mixon over 25.5 receiving yards,
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
