Joe Mixon LESS THAN 60.5 Rushing Yards

The Houston Texans had a solid offensive outing in the Wild Card Round, led by running back Joe Mixon, who carried the ball 25 times for 106 yards, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt and scoring a touchdown with a long run of 17 yards. He totaled four red zone carries. Mixon has rushed for under 69.5 yards in five of his last eight games with a full allotment of snaps. He was held to 57 rushing yards the last time he faced KC. Take the LESS THAN on rushing prop on Prizepicks (60.5 rushing yards) this week for the divisional round.

Lamar Jackson LESS THAN 232.5 Passing Yards

Given how much success they had rushing the ball versus Pittsburgh and against Buffalo in the Week 4 matchup, I’d expect offensive coordinator Todd Monken to call a similar gameplan against the Bills in the Divisional Round. In the passing game, Jackson completed 16 of 21 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions, posting a passer rating of 132.0. Jackson spread the ball across multiple receivers, with tight end Isaiah Likely leading the team in receiving with three catches for 53 yards on four targets, including a long reception of 25 yards. The Ravens No. 2 TE led all skill players with an 80% snap rate. The Ravens QB has thrown for fewer than 223.5 passing yards in five of his last eight contests. His PrizePicks passing yards line opened at 232.5 passing yards.

James Cook LESS THAN 54.5 Rushing Yards

The Bills had a solid ground game in the Wild Card Round, with James Cook leading the charge. Cook carried the ball 23 times for 120 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and scoring one touchdown with a long rush of 19 yards. Two RBs this season have surpassed 55.5 rushing yards this season (Saquon Barkley, Najee Harris) against the Ravens’ stout run defense. Take the LESS THAN 54.5 rushing yards for Cook on PrizePicks (opened at 53.5 rushing yards).

Khalil Shakir MORE THAN 49.5 Receiving Yards

Khalil Shakir contributed six catches for 61 yards. Shakir led the team with a 23% target share (6 targets). He was the only Bills player to see more than three targets. Shakir has gone for 48-plus yards in 10 of 16 games this season. Take the MORE THAN 49.5 receiving yards this week on PrizePicks (opened at 47.5 yards). Shakir caught four of five targets for 62 yards, with a long reception of 52 yards and 26 yards after the catch (18% target share) the last time he faced the Ravens.

Jameson Williams MORE THAN 52.5 Receiving Yards & 4.5 Receptions

Jameson Williams added 34 yards on six receptions on a team-high 25% target share and eight targets, but he did not score. The Lions did right by the third-year WR, throwing him two passes in the fourth quarter up 31-9 to ensure he went over 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Williams has at least five receptions in six of his last seven games, with 7-plus targets in each contest. Take the MORE THAN on Williams’ 52.5 receiving yards number on PrizePicks and take the over on his 4.5 receptions prop over. It’s plus money on DraftKings Sportsbook (+130). You can take the MORE THAN on his receptions number on PrizePicks as well. Listed at four receptions. MORE THAN.
