Best NFL Divisional Round PrizePicks Plays - Saturday

The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs gets underway Saturday, and Kurt Jones has four plays to consider making on PrizePicks.

Best PrizePicks Picks current as of 7:15 AM ET Saturday.

Josh Allen 209.5 Passing Yards (MORE)

We went with this last week because Allen was facing a pass funnel, and even with the tougher matchup I'm comfortable running it back with the upper side.

I just can't see Buffalo having consistent success on the ground Saturday, which could force Allen into full backyard-football mode. He might be throwing to washouts and plumbers, but this feels like a pure volume play. It's the type of prop that can leave you down for three quarters yet cash late when Denver inevitably shifts into soft zone coverage in the fourth.

Bo Nix 23.5 Rushing Yards (MORE)

RJ Harvey 56.5 Rushing Yards (MORE)

One of the biggest regrets for Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has to be not continuing to attack Buffalo's defense on outside-the-tackle runs, which were ripping off chunks almost every time they were used. I don't see Broncos head coach Sean Payton making the same mistake.

I expect Nix to use his legs more than usual, and I like Harvey's chances to break a long one early. The most logical path for Denver is to keep the ball out of Allen's hands and grind this game down, and these two plays align perfectly with that script.

Jake Tonges 9 Fantasy Score (MORE)

In the games Tonges worked all week in practice as the starting tight end with George Kittle out, these are the fantasy scores he posted:  7, 4, 14, 17, 11, 19.

Tonges has consistently answered the call when needed. I'm chalking last week up to a Kittle-specific game plan rather than one that highlights what Tonges does best. This week's matchup sets up much better for a return to those familiar double-digit outputs. The game script should favor pass-heavy dump-offs, Ricky Pearsall is still banged up, and I'm not convinced Seattle allows Christian McCaffrey to dominate underneath as a receiver. That opens the door for Tonges to be heavily involved.
