Chiefs Super Bowl Prop Bets
- Isiah Pacheco OVER 67.5 rushing yards
- Patrick Mahomes longest rush OVER 12.5
- Brock Purdy UNDER 246.5 passing yards
Isiah Pacheco OVER 67.5 rushing yards
Believe it or not, Isiah Pacheco may be the key to the Chiefs winning this game. The 49ers have struggled when it comes to stopping the run this season. They rank 21st in opponent yards per carry along with 26th in opponent rush EPA and 24th in opponent rush success rate.
He has also ran the ball a ton this postseason, racking up 24 carries in two of the Chiefs three playoff games while surpassing 67.5 rushing yards in all three. I'll take the OVER on his rushing yards once again.
Patrick Mahomes longest rush OVER 12.5
Mahomes has recorded a run of at least 13 yards in 11 of the Chiefs' 20 games this season, including a run of 24 yards and 28 yards in two of their three postseason wins. We're not asking a lot of him to scamper once for at least 13 yards.
We also have to remember this is the Super Bowl. There's no reason to slide, go out of bounds, or not try to fight tooth and nail for every yard possible on each carry.
Brock Purdy UNDER 246.5 passing yards
The path to victory for the 49ers is running the football. If they try to make Brock Purdy throw the ball early and often, they're going to be in trouble. The Chiefs have one of the best secondaries in the NFL, giving up just 5.4 yards per pass attempt and 181.5 total passing yards per game this season.
I'll take the UNDER on Purdy's passing yards at 246.5.
