Patrick Mahomes’ Foot Is Fine

Going into the AFC Championship Game against the Bills, there was a lot of concern about Patrick Mahomes’ availability due to him being in the concussion protocol. For many bettors, the real concern was with his foot as he was noticeably limping in the Divisional Round against the Browns. As we know now, he was dealing with turf toe but it didn’t affect him too much in the Bills game. Now he is saying he should be close to 100-percent in the Super Bowl.

The injury is important because for all his passing game prowess, his running ability flies under the radar. He is highly likely to need that rushing ability in the Super Bowl given Tampa’s defense. The Buccaneers will have Vita Vea this time around after he missed the first battle between the two teams with a broken ankle.

Vea’s presence will be an issue for the Chiefs given the fact that they will be down both of their starting tackles. Eric Fisher tore his Achilles tendon in the AFC Championship Game and Mitchell Schwartz is still recovering from a back injury. There are certainly going to be times that Mahomes’ protection breaks down and he will need to run.

Mahomes’ has the wheels to get over this number as he ran for more that 20 yards in nine of the 16 games this season. He ran for 29 yards in last year’s Super Bowl so he can do it on the big stage too. This number is highly likely to increase in the days leading up to kickoff.

The Pick: Patrick Mahomes Over 19.5 Rushing Yards (-130)

Who Finds the End Zone?

The Kansas City Chiefs did a great job of keeping most position groups out of the end zone this season. No team gave up less rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs and only eight squads allowed wide receivers to score less times than the Chiefs. If there was one group that Kansas City was vulnerable to, it was the tight ends as they allowed nine touchdowns to the big guys. One that sticks out for the Buccaneers is Rob Gronkowski.

Gronkowski may have had a down year in terms of receiving production but he is still a trusted option in the red zone. The tight end actually tied for the team lead in red zone targets with 21 this season. He has been here before and he has been here with Tom Brady as his quarterback. He is a good bet to score in this game.

Pick: Rob Gronkowski – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+225)
