deskgameAs noted by Field Level Media, Kansas City has stayed undefeated by coming out on top in close games. The Chiefs have prevailed in seven one-score contests, with four games being decided on the final play. Kansas City is the only team in league history to start 9-0 after trailing in eight games.
deskgameLeonard only threw for 90 yards in the CFP quarterfinal, but Notre Dame doesn’t need the QB to be an elite passer. The Fighting Irish average 217 rushing yards per game and form a great duo with the ball-hawking defense. Notre Dame allows the second-fewest points per game and will need a lockdown performance if the offense is limited because of Love’s injury.
deskgameCleveland has allowed an average of 3.39 yards per rush and 78.8 rushing yards per game to running backs in the past four games. Don’t be surprised if Henry doesn’t get as many opportunities. He could gain 87 yards on 12 carries and you’d still win this bet. That’s a great outcome for him and the sports bettor who jumps on this.
deskgameDowdle had an uninspiring start to the season but has since become one of the Cowboys’ top contributors. Dowdle averaged 100 rushing yards in the last five matchups, including a career-best 149 yards in Week 15. If Rico can’t find room to run, it could be a long day for Dallas’ offense.
