3 best prop bets for Washington vs Chiefs Week 6
By Jerry Trotta
2. Over 54.5 total points (-110)
We know what you’re thinking. That’s a HIGH number to be betting the over on. You’re not wrong, but you also won’t find us betting the under in a game featuring two of the NFL’s worst defenses this season.
Through five weeks, Washington ranks 31st in the league with a whopping 31 points allowed per game. Pretty fitting, no? Right behind them for the last-place spot is Kansas City, which is conceding points at a 32.6 clip.

If that wasn’t enough to convince you to bet the over — WynnBET is overing -110 odds for over 54.5 points (bet $110 to win $100) — let’s frame it like this. The WFT’s Week 5 matchup against New Orleans totaled 55 points, the EXACT number this bet needs to cash.
Didn’t the defense perform well in that game? That was the consensus takeaway, save a few breakdowns in the secondary, obviously, and they STILL conceded 33 points. Patrick Mahomes and Co. could push for 40 on Sunday.
On the other side of the spectrum, the Chiefs have allowed fewer than 30 points in one game this season. That came in their Week 1 win over the Browns, when they surrendered 29 points. Since then, they’ve allowed 33.5 points per game.
We understand folks who are hesitant to make this bet, but the numbers side with the over. Plus, who doesn’t like rooting for points?
