  KENNETH WALKER IIIRUSHING ATTEMPTS OVER 18.5

  NFLKansas City Chiefs· -103

  ✓ CASHED · ACTUAL 24

  GARY'S TAKE

  I’m taking over 18.5 carries at -103. Walker handled 23 attempts in his Kansas City debut, played 68% of the offensive snaps and now faces an Indianapolis defense that allowed 202 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in its opener. Kansas City is favored by 6.5, so the likely game script also supports another run-heavy workload. The strongest counter is Walker’s 2025 history: he averaged only 12.6 carries across his last 10 games and never cleared this number. That came in a different backfield, but one game with the Chiefs is still a small sample, and Emmett Johnson earned eight carries behind him.

  KEENAN ALLENRECEPTIONS OVER 3.5

  NFLIndianapolis Colts· -115

  LOST · ACTUAL 1

  GARY'S TAKE

  I’m taking over 3.5 receptions at -115. Allen caught all six of his targets in the opener, and his short-area route-running gives Daniel Jones a practical answer against a Kansas City defense that produced four sacks and pressured Denver throughout Week 1. Indianapolis is a 6.5-point underdog, increasing the chance that Jones has to throw while chasing the game. Allen also cleared this line in six of his last 10 games in 2025. The concern is that he played only 67% of the offensive snaps in Week 1 and averaged exactly 3.7 catches over that prior 10-game sample, leaving little cushion. Kansas City also allowed only 131 passing yards in its opener.

• THE LONG SHOT

  KENNETH WALKER IIIANYTIME TD OVER 0.5

  NFLKansas City Chiefs· -200

  LOST · ACTUAL 0

  GARY'S TAKE

  I’m betting Walker to score at -200. He produced both a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in his Chiefs debut, finished with 32 touches and is the primary back for a home favorite against a defense that surrendered four rushing scores to Baltimore. Kansas City’s commitment to its new ground game gives Walker multiple paths to the end zone. The strongest objection is the price: -200 requires a very high hit rate, and one game does not establish that Walker owns every scoring opportunity. Emmett Johnson received 10 touches in the opener, while Mahomes and the passing game can also account for Kansas City’s goal-line touchdowns.

  RASHEE RICEANYTIME TD OVER 0.5

  NFLKansas City Chiefs· +165

  LOST · ACTUAL 0

  GARY'S TAKE

  I’m taking Rice to score at +165. He played 83% of Kansas City’s offensive snaps in Week 1 and converted one of his two targets into a touchdown. Indianapolis just allowed 324 passing yards, 8.48 yards per defensive play and successful plays on half of Baltimore’s snaps, so Mahomes should have opportunities to create favorable red-zone matchups for his top wideout. Rice also brings a stronger established receiving role than his opening target count suggests. The clear contrary evidence is that he saw only two targets against Denver while Kansas City leaned heavily on Walker. If that run-first distribution continues, Rice may not receive enough volume to justify even an attractive plus price.
