Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco in Week 1 vs. Ravens

How To Bet on Chiefs Passers

Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes Passing Yards: Over 287.5 (-115)

Patrick Mahomes turned in a prolific 2022 campaign, leading the NFL in passing yards with 5,250. While the Chiefs passing attack figures to be more balanced in 2023 with the additions of Skyy Moore and Justin Watson, Mahomes should still air it out frequently this season. Mahomes went over 287.5 passing yards in 14 of his 17 starts in 2022, including a 343-yard performance against Baltimore in Week 2. The Ravens secondary was one of the NFL's best last year, but they did allow the Bengals' Joe Burrow to pass for 217 yards in Week 18. Mahomes should have no problem eclipsing the 287.5-yard mark in this matchup.

Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes Passing TDs: Over 2.5 (-140)

Patrick Mahomes threw for multiple touchdowns in 13 of his 17 starts in 2022, including two against the Ravens in Week 2. Baltimore's defense allowed 21 passing touchdowns last season, which was tied for the 10th-most in the NFL. The Ravens also gave up multiple passing touchdowns in six of their final eight games of the regular season. Mahomes should be able to find the end zone through the air multiple times in this matchup.

Best Bets for Travis Kelce Receiving Yards: Over 74.5 (-115)

Travis Kelce has been one of the most consistent pass-catching tight ends in the NFL over the past several seasons, and he should be in for another big year in 2023. Kelce has gone over 74.5 receiving yards in 10 of his last 12 games, including a 109-yard performance against the Ravens in Week 2 last season. Baltimore allowed the fourth-most receiving yards to tight ends in the NFL last season, so Kelce should have plenty of opportunities to make plays in the passing game.

How To Bet on Chiefs Rushers

Best Bets for Isiah Pacheco Rushing Yards: Over 50.5 (-115)

Isiah Pacheco is expected to be the lead running back for the Chiefs in 2023, and he should be in for a big workload in Week 1 against the Ravens. Pacheco averaged 4.9 yards per carry as a rookie last season, and he should be able to find plenty of running room against a Ravens defense that allowed 4.9 yards per carry last season. Pacheco has gone over 50.5 rushing yards in three of his last four games, including a 62-yard performance against the Raiders in Week 18. He should be able to eclipse that mark again in this matchup.

Best Bets for Rashee Rice Receiving Yards: Over 40.5 (-115)

Rashee Rice is expected to be the Chiefs' primary slot receiver in 2023, and he should see plenty of targets in Week 1 against the Ravens. Rice averaged 7.3 yards per target last season, and he should be able to find plenty of open space against a Ravens defense that allowed the seventh-most receptions to slot receivers last season. Rice has gone over 40.5 receiving yards in two of his last three games, including a 65-yard performance against the Raiders in Week 18. He should be able to eclipse that mark again in this matchup.
