NFL Conference Championship NFL DFS Picks
Below, find the top NFL Conference Championship picks for NFL DFS on PrizePicks. Use these player picks to build your NFL Lineups on PrizePicks.
Bills QB Josh Allen 9.5 Rush Attempts – More
Bills QB Josh Allen carried 10 times for 20 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens last week. That came on the heels of his eight carries in a blowout win over the Broncos in the previous round. When it matters the most, Allen tends to run more. He had 12 carries against the Chiefs in Week 11. He had 10 carries against them in Week 14 last season, which he then followed up with 12 carries when he faced them in the Divisional Round.
As the Bills try to reach the Super Bowl, expect Allen to try and get them there with his legs.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce 70.5 Receiving Yards – More
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce shines when it matters the most, which he showed with his 117 receiving yards against the Texans last week. He has not had fewer than 71 receiving yards in a playoff game since 2019. When these two teams met in the playoffs last season, Kelce had 75 receiving yards. In their 2021 playoff matchup, Kelce had 96 receiving yards. The Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes should look his way early and often in this game, giving him a favorable opportunity to surpass this projection.
Best TD Scorer Pick: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts scored yet another rushing touchdown against the Rams last week. That came on the heels of his 14 rushing touchdowns during the regular season. One of those came against the Commanders in Week 11.
Hurts has scored at least one rushing touchdown in four of his seven career playoff games. Given the Commanders’ inability to slow down the run, Hurts could receive more than opportunity for a “Tush Push” touchdown.
Goblin Pick: Eagles RB Saquon Barkley 99.5 Rush Yards – More
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley has been given at least 25 carries in both playoff games for the Eagles. That enabled him to record at least 119 rushing yards in both games. Dating back to the regular season, Barkley has posted at least 100 rushing yards in 11 of his last 13 games. That included both matchups against the Commanders in which he had at least 146 rushing yards. Look for him to shine again with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
Note: Goblin picks reduce your payout on PrizePicks, as they are easier projections to hit.
