Colts touchdown pick: Keenan Allen
After spending plenty of time in the AFC West, Keenan Allen is a savvy veteran with plenty of experience facing longtime Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The now-Indianapolis Colts wideout has six career touchdown catches in 17 games against the Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Kansas City's secondary got weaker this offseason after trading both of its starting corners to the Los Angeles Rams.
Allen is a big-bodied receiver who is one of the best route runners in the league. Allen will become Daniel Jones' favorite target in goal-to-goal scenarios, and I love this 4.73x payout.
Chiefs touchdown pick: Travis Kelce
Give me Travis Kelce's anytime touchdown up to 40%.
This is partially a fade of Indy's weak defensive spine. Colts linebacker Jaylon Carlies had a failing coverage grade in Week 1, according to Pro Football Focus, while rookie safety A.J. Haulcy's coverage grade was even worse.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has always found creative ways to get Kelce the ball, whether it be on a tight end screen or another gadget play. I could see Reid "getting in his bag" on Sunday with Kansas City lacking game-breakers out wide.
First touchdown scorer pick: Jonathan Taylor
Jonathan Taylor has led the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice and remains Indy's bell cow behind one of the league's better offensive lines.
Taylor scored the first touchdown in Week 1 and finished with two scores against a Baltimore defensive front that I rate higher than Kansas City's.
If the Colts get into scoring range early, expect Taylor to get the first opportunity to finish the drive.
Colts vs Chiefs touchdown combo
Kenneth Walker
Jonathan Taylor
The Chiefs' offseason addition of Kenneth Walker III already looks like a strong move after Week 1. The reigning Super Bowl MVP scored three touchdowns (two rushing and one receiving) against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
Walker has quickly emerged as one of Kansas City's top offensive weapons and should continue to see plenty of touches under offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
Taylor gives Indianapolis its best chance to punish Kansas City if Steve Spagnuolo gets aggressive with his pressure packages. If the Chiefs commit extra defenders to getting after Jones, one crease could be all Taylor needs to turn a run into six.
