This article will focus on a few of the prop bets offered on players. I’ll have a look at some exotic props and outcomes in another story. When thinking of the Kansas City Chiefs the first player that comes to mind is Patrick Mahomes, and why not. The reigning NFL MVP, Mahomes has accomplished a lot in his two seasons. And he’s working with one of the best offensive minds in football in Andy Reid. There are a number of prop bets featuring Mahomes so let’s take a look.
Patrick Mahomes Passing Yards
Over 299.5 ( -129 )
Under 299.5 ( +102 )
We’ve been both surprised and disappointed with quarterback play in the Super Bowl the last several years. The play of Nick Foles in SBLII stands out when he threw for 373 yards and three scores in Philadelphia’s 41-33 upset of New England. Tom Brady’s Super Bowl record 505 pass yards went overlooked in that game. There was the epic fail of Jared Goff last year when the Rams were de-balled. And Cam Newton has never been the same since his awful performance in SB50. What does it mean? Who knows, but the QBs are always front and center.
We know the Chiefs are going to throw the football, that’s just what they do. They had the fifth-best pass offense during the regular season averaging 281.1 yards per game. Keep in mind Mahomes missed a few games with an injury. Playing in less than ideal conditions in the playoffs, Mahomes threw for 321 yards against Houston and 294 against Tennessee. The Niners are strong defensively, but the ability of Mahomes to extend plays will allow him to exceed 300 yards in this game. And it will also give him the chance to go over his rushing yards total.
Prediction: Over 299.5 ( -129 )
Jimmy Garoppolo Pass Completions
Over 18.5 ( -156 )
Under 18.5 ( +119 )
It wouldn’t be fair to exclude Jimmy Garoppolo in this section. And just like Mahomes the Niners QB has a number of prop options on the board, though he hasn’t gotten as much play as his counterpart. With the Niners having so much success running the football this postseason, Jimmy G. hasn’t been busy. He’ll make up for it on Sunday
I’m not sure the Niners are going to have as much success running the football against the Chiefs than they had in their first two playoff games. That means Garoppolo will have to throw the football. You’ll pay with the juice on this number, but I think it’s hitting the over. With such a potent ground game, Garoppolo completed 17 passes combined in the first two rounds. And he completed at least 19 passes in half of his 16 starts. It’s going to be close, but the Niners will get more snaps thanks to KC’s quick strike attack, and in a tighter game Kyle Shanahan is likely to open the playbook. If the number goes higher I’d be reluctant to take the over. But as it is now it looks like a winning wager.
Prediction: Over 18.5 ( -156 )
Who Will Have More Receptions?
George Kittle ( -126 )
Travis Kelce ( +100 )
Two of the best tight ends in today’s game take the field on Sunday, and both come in with stunning numbers. Kittle and Kelce each led his team in targets, receptions and receiving yards – by a lot. And they were both among the league leaders among all pass catchers. Kittle hasn’t gotten a lot of work in the passing game this postseason because the Niners haven’t thrown the football. He’s likely to be busy on Sunday. Still, he’s not going to have more receptions than Kelce, who had 97 during the regular season and another 13 in the playoffs. Even when opposing defenses know he’s getting the football Kelce is hard to stop. And at even money it’s a better bet.
Prediction: Travis Kelce ( +100 )
