Last weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an exciting game that finished with 27-24 in the favor of the team from Missouri. In that game, we saw the superstar QB Patrick Mahomes passing for 3 touchdowns. Can he do even better in the Broncos @ Chiefs game? Is the prop bet Mahomes to Pass for Over 3.5 TDs any good?

Let’s examine this football prop bet in detail!

Broncos @ Chiefs Preview

The Denver Broncos (4-7) are coming to Kansas City after a defeat to the New Orleans Saints last weekend. They got absolutely destroyed in that game, failing to score even a single touchdown. The Saints, on the other hand, scored four touchdowns, setting the final score to 31-3.

What’s interesting is that all of the TDs were scored by runs, two by Hill and two by Murray. The question is whether the Chiefs can score their touchdowns through Mahomes’ precise passes?

They can, judging by the previous experience. The last time the Chiefs played Broncos, Mahomes passed for two TDs, helping his team win by 43-16. The game saw three more TDs, which happened the result of a run, turnover, and a return.

Mahomes to Pass for Over 3.5 TDs

If you’re into NFL player props, our suggestion is to go for Mahomes to pass for Over 3.5 TDs. The reason is that this guy is the #1 favorite for winning the MVP trophy this season.

So far, he’s passed for 3,497 yards, more than any other player in the league. He’s also flying very high when touchdowns are concerned, with 30 to this name so far. At the moment of writing, there are two other players in the NFL who have been involved in more TDs, namely Aaron Rodgers (33 TDs) and Russell Wilson (31 TDs).

The best thing is that it appears that Mahomes’ form seems to be improving. The guy’s passed for a touchdown in every game he’s played this season. Plus, he’s passed for more than one touchdown in the last six games.

This season, the prop bet Mahomes to Pass for Over 3.5 TDs won on three occasions already. In two games, he passed for 4 touchdowns, while one game saw him passing for 5 of them.

Knowing that the Broncos aren’t the best team when the defense is concerned (they’re actually the 5th-worst team in the AFC defense-wise), Mahomes should be able to split them open and pass for over 3.5 TDs on Sunday.
