The Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs is here, and the Denver Broncos will host the Buffalo Bills and their star running back, James Cook.
All postseason, football betting on Cooks’ player props are available at BetMGM, along with NFL futures odds like who will win Super Bowl 60, the Super Bowl MVP, and more. This includes the Bills’ Super Bowl odds, currently third at +550.
Below are five of the most notable prop bets for Cook this week, along with my predictions.
Best James Cook Prop Bets vs. Broncos
In the Wild Card round, Cook ran 15 times for 46 yards and caught two passes for five. It was a down performance, and something I expected against the league’s best run defence, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This week, he draws the league’s second-best run defence — the Broncos allow 91.1 rushing yards per game. Of that 91.1 rushing yards allowed per game, 71.8 are to running backs.
Cook’s rushing yards total in this game is 77.5. The Broncos have only allowed one running back to exceed this total, and that was the Indianapolis Colts’ Jonathan Taylor in Week 2, who ran for 165 yards on 25 carries.
Since Week 10, the most they’ve allowed is 73, which the Green Bay Packers’ Josh Jacobs had in Week 15.
As for the receiving game, the Broncos allow the fewest receptions per game to running backs at 2.94.
I predict that this will be another week of taking Cooks’ unders.
