Zay Flowers longest reception over 20.5 yards.
The Chiefs played heavy man-coverage against the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, which led to two explosive gains for the separation savvy Flowers. With Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Nelson Agholor being more privy to the middle of the field and intermediate routes, Flowers will have opportunities to separate overtop.
Patrick Mahomes 2+ passing touchdowns.
Mahomes has crossed this mark in every season opener, with 3+ passing touchdowns in all but last year, where Travis Kelce was injured ahead of the game. Taking Mahomes 3+ touchdowns has much better value, as he’s nearly 2/1 to throw 2 TD’s.
Derrick Henry over 15.5 rushing attempts. Derrick Henry anytime touchdown. Derrick Henry 2+ touchdowns.
The Ravens didn’t acquire Henry not to feed him the football. He has had 15 or more carries in five straight season openers, and the Ravens won’t want their inexperienced offensive line in too many true dropbacks, looking to hammer the Chiefs consistently.
Mark Andrews 40+ receiving yards.
Currently -166 on FanDuel, Andrews has crossed this mark in 58 of 87 career games, with several early exits included. He had 45+ yards in four of his last five season openers as Lamar Jackson’s No. 1 target. Derrick Henry’s presence should give Andrews as many blown coverages as he’s had in his career this season.
