It’s a rematch of Super Bowl 57, as the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) look to make history with a third straight Super Bowl title, as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3). The two-time defending champs have opened as a 1.5-point favorite in the Chiefs vs Eagles odds. Both teams come into the championship on offensive highs: the Eagles hung 55 on the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, while KC went toe-to-toe with the high-octane Buffalo Bills’ offense and lived to tell about. The big question now: can they carry that into New Orleans? That’s what we’re sorting through as we share the initial Chiefs vs Eagles player props. Take a look below, with some of our first-blush picks.
Chiefs vs Eagles Player Props
The books aren’t expecting a 300-yard passer for this one. Patrick Mahomes has the highest passing prop, set at 256.5 yards, while Jalen Hurts checks in at 213.5. Part of that number is because the Eagles are riding Saquon Barkley, who has been football’s biggest home run hitter, and it’s not even really close.
That’s why the books have him at a massive 117.5 yard rushing total. DraftKings has a large 14-player pass-catching menu for its receiving props, a product of the Chiefs, who spread the passing love around depending on gameplan and opponent. Philly receiver AJ Brown leads all pass catchers with a 72.5 yard receiving total, while he’s tied with KC receivers Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy for the top reception prop at 5.5.
Chiefs vs Eagles Player Prop #1: Saquon Barkley Goes Off
Barkley has been an absolute lightning strike in the playoffs. He torched Washington for 118 yards and three scores, including taking his first carry 60 yards to the house.
Going back to the regular season, Barkley has crossed the 117.5 total set eight times in his last 10 starts, topping 100 yards rushing in nine of them.
He’s averaging a whopping 6.7 yards per tote, running for at least 118 yards in all three games, and scoring five majors. The Chiefs were Top 8 in run defense in the regular season, but we just watched James Cook run for 85 yards on a mere 13 carries.
Sunday was Barkley’s lowest carry mark of the playoffs, with 15 rushes. If he gets near the 25.5 he averaged against the Rams and Packers, this should be a number he clears again.
- Chiefs vs Eagles Prop Pick: Saquon Barkley OVER 117.5 rushing yards (-110); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
KC vs PHI Prop #2: Mahomes Passing Yards
For all the talk about the Chiefs disjointed offensive attack, Patrick Mahomes has been quietly raising his game to whatever his team needs.
He looked crisp against the Bills, going 18-for-26 for 245 yards and a TD, while also rushing for a couple of other scores.
Philly’s defense is legit, and I suspect the running game will be used in short goal line situations, as well as keeping the pass rush honest.
His passing prop is a gettable 256.5 yards, and heading into the playoffs, Mahomes crossed that total seven times in his final 10 starts.
While he hasn’t hit that number yet, he’s going to need a precision passing night to bring home a third straight title.
- Chiefs vs Eagles Prop Pick: Mahomes Over 256.5 passing yards (-110); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
Chiefs vs Eagles Touchdown Scorer Props
Barkley has been a TD machine in the postseason, a big reason why he’s the only player with minus odds to find paydirt in New Orleans.
Kelce has the best anytime TD odds for the Chiefs at +125.
Chiefs vs Eagles Player Prop #3: Hoping for Hurts
If there was a prop worth jumping on right now, it might be an anytime score for Philly pivot Jalen Hurts. He is the goal line option for the Eagles, even with Saquon more than capable.
Hurts ran for three scores in the NFC Championship against Washington, and has four in the postseason. Not including the Washington game when he left in the first quarter with a concussion, Hurts had at least one rushing TD in his final nine games of the regular season.
For the Chiefs, Kelce is seeking his third Super Bowl TD, but if you’re looking for real value, look no further than Mahomes at +340. He had two rushing TD’s against the Bills. He also had one running major in his last Super bowl appearance, against the 49ers.
- Chiefs vs Eagles Prop Pick: Hurts anytime TD (+100); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook
