The New England Patriots visit the Denver Broncos with a Super Bowl berth on the line on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game. Offense could be at a premium, with both teams featuring excellent defenses and Broncos quarterback Bo Nix done for the season after suffering an ankle injury. Backup Jarrett Stidham will start in Nix's stead. Second-year New England quarterback Drake Maye will face one of the most difficult tests of his young career in the Denver defense.

Broncos vs. Patriots anytime touchdown scorer picks:

RJ Harvey anytime TD

Bet on Harvey to score at DraftKings, where new users can get $300 in bonus bets if their first bet of $5 or more wins:

J.K. Dobbins may return for this game and he could eat into Harvey's playing time, but it's hard to see Sean Payton immediately giving Dobbins a heavy workload in his first game back. Stidham being under center also puts more pressure on Denver's ground game to produce. Harvey has proven he can score both as a runner and as a receiver, and with Stidham unlikely to uncork a ton of deep passes, Harvey could get plenty of targets.

Hunter Henry anytime TD scorer

Back Henry to find the end zone at DraftKings:

Drake Maye has had a phenomenal season and as shown he can attack downfield, but this will be an extremely difficult defense for him to navigate. Stefon Diggs is going to see a whole lot of Patrick Surtain II, for starters. Maye, an MVP candidate, is far from a career backup like Stidham under center. But it's not hard to imagine New England playing things more conservatively, and Henry has proven to be a favored target for Maye. This feels like a game with plenty of field goals, but Henry should get looks in the red zone.
