Patrick Mahomes will look to lead his Kansas City Chiefs past the Houston Texans and to another AFC Championship Game on Saturday.

When making the best Patrick Mahomes player props picks, it’s important to remember how much better the three-time champion played at the end of the season compared to the beginning. He’s thrown 11 touchdown passes and zero interceptions over his last six games and is the Super Bowl MVP odds favorite.

Mahomes being under center is a significant reason why the Chiefs are the 8.5-point favorites prior to Saturday’s game at 4:30 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC/ESPN+) from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Will he continue his solid play? Or will the Texans’ defense pick up where it left off in the wild-card round?
