The Bills look to start their path to the Super Bowl against a frisky Broncos squad on Sunday afternoon. James Cook has had the best year of his career and is a focal point of one of the NFL’s top offenses.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Buffalo is currently an 8.5-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 47.5 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Cook in this AFC battle.
Best James Cook Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
James Cook Over 13.5 Rush Attempts (-125)
Since Joe Brady took over as offensive coordinator midway through last year, James Cook has been a high-end featured back. He uses his premier agility to bounce to the outside and generate chunk gains. Cook’s seen his role blossom near the goal line, where he’s tripled his scoring output from a season ago.
Denver has a rookie signal-caller and will have to travel. The Bills is favored by over a touchdown for a reason—they are the superior team. This team has blown out inferior competition all season long and will keep their foot on the gas in the postseason.
If this contest goes as planned, the Bills will have the ball with a sizable lead late. Sean McDermott’s group will have to run out the clock, where Cook can see an uptick in workload. Cook has surpassed 14 carries seven times this campaign. As long as he can maintain his monopoly of the backfield, Cook should soar past this line.
