Bills vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Amari Cooper (+600)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
Amari Cooper has no complaints heading into the AFC Championship on Sunday. Cooper said earlier this week, “Winning is way more important & that’s all I truly want. I’ve had it every other way, and I haven’t reached the pinnacle of this sport of how I would have liked.” There’s been no sugarcoating Cooper’s play since he arrived in Buffalo. He was held without a catch last week and just one reception in the Bills Wild Card win versus the Broncos. But I’d expect an uptick in Cooper’s play and snaps against the Chiefs on Sunday, who have a daunting rush defense and a more aggressive Josh Allen through the air.
Bills vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Marquise Brown (+260)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
Call me crazy for backing another wide receiver who didn’t record a reception last week, but I’m all in on Marquise Brown heading into Sunday Evening. With Travis Kelce recording another 100+ receiving yard game this postseason, most of the Bills attention will be on Kelce in the middle of the field. DeAndre Hopkins saw just 31% of the snaps last week, while Xavier Worthy led the wide receiver room. Nonetheless, Brown was acquired this past off-season to be an integral part of the passing game. There’s no better opportunity in what projects to be a high-scoring affair.
