DeVonta Smith Super Bowl Player Prop Bet (PHI vs. KC)
Over 51.5 receiving yards: Over -114 on DraftKings
- Smith is a zone-beater, and the Chiefs ran zone coverage at the eighth-highest rate this season. Smith is averaging 110.5 yards per game on 6.5 catches in two regular-season matchups with the Chiefs, and he caught seven balls for 100 yards in the Super Bowl against Steve Spagnuolo’s defense two years ago. The Chiefs now have a true top cornerback in Trent McDuffie, who should help negate A.J. Brown, forcing Jalen Hurts to look toward Smith. The Chiefs may also focus on Saquon Barkley and once again dare Hurts to beat them with his arm. Smith is a longshot to consider at +600 odds to lead the Super Bowl in receiving, and he’s getting +4000 odds to lead all postseason performers in receiving, which he could achieve if he tallies at least 109 yards and Dallas Goedert, his teammate, goes under 42 yards.
Jalen Hurts Super Bowl Player Prop Bet (PHI vs KC)
Over 9.5 rushing attempts: Over -156 on FanDuel
- Hurts suffered a knee injury in the divisional round against the Rams and wasn’t asked to do much with his legs in a blowout win over Washington in the NFC championship. After getting two weeks to rest his knee, he should flash his athleticism once again in the Super Bowl. Hurts ran 15 times for 70 yards when the Eagles faced the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 and passed 38 times in that game, but with Saquon Barkley behind him, he’s averaging just 23 pass attempts in these playoffs and is often looking to take off when his receivers aren’t open. Of course, the “tush push” would count toward his rushing attempts, and so would kneel-downs if the Eagles are able to salt away a lead late. Hurts is also getting +350 odds to win the Super Bowl MVP.
DeAndre Hopkins Super Bowl Player Prop Bet (KC vs. PHI)
Over 1.5 receptions: Over +110 on FanDuel
- The future Hall of Fame receiver is thrilled to be in his first Super Bowl, and Andy Reid’s staff may try to get him involved. Books are offering juicy odds on Hopkins to top his relatively low props because he played on just 12 offensive snaps in the AFC title game and was not targeted while playing 16 snaps against the Texans in the divisional round. But this is a new matchup, and it’s possible JuJu Smith-Schuster is less effective against the Eagles’ interior pass defense. Hopkins logged at least two catches in all 10 regular season games after being traded to the Chiefs and averaged 3.8 catches for 40.4 yards per game over his last five regular season games.
