Well. We’re finally here. The final game of the NFL season—the Super Bowl.
The two teams are the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, representing the NFC and AFC, respectively, and are also No.1 seeds.
Here, we’ll look at the three best player props to make for the big game. Let’s dive in.
There are seemingly three things we can depend on in life—death, taxes, and Kelce scoring touchdowns in the postseason.
After not scoring a touchdown since Week 12 in the regular season, Kelce has scored three touchdowns in two playoff games.
He was a game-time decision against the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game. Still, he managed to nab seven balls on nine targets for 79 yards and a score.
He’s easily quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ No. 1 option, especially in a game where the receivers will battle against a trio of solid Eagles cornerbacks in Darius Slay, Avonte Maddox, and James Bradberry.
Kelce will matchup against Eagles linebacker Kyzir White who’s allowed 56 receptions on 75 targets this season for 481 yards.

The Eagles run the ball on about 45% of their plays, and while quarterback Jalen Hurts gets plenty of work in the run game, so does Sanders.
This season, Sanders is averaging nearly five yards per carry. Sure, he averaged just 3.8 yards per carry against the stout San Francisco 49ers defense, but he found the end zone two times and could’ve had more if not for Boston Scott.
Against the Giants in the divisional round, Sanders didn’t score but did have 90 yards on 17 carries.
The Chiefs didn’t see that much out of the Bengals running game. Still, against the Jaguars, they did allow 6.2 yards per carry to Travis Etienne, albeit on a limited sample size.
Sanders will get plenty of work here as the Eagles look to maintain possession and keep Mahomes off the field.

It’s not a secret, but the Chiefs don’t run the ball that much—they run on just 33.1% of their offensive snaps.
This provides Mahomes with plenty of opportunities to get passing yards.
While playing on an injured ankle, Mahomes still managed to sail well over 300 against the Bengals. The Chiefs limited run game will also need help against this Eagles front that is equipped with plenty of big bodies up front. They limited Christian McCaffrey to 84 yards on 15 carries, and he’s one of the best running backs in the league, getting plenty of chances with no quarterback.
The Eagles pass rush will be a threat, but the Chiefs offensive line is potent enough to mitigate enough disasters.
Look for Mahomes to throw plenty in this one to put themselves ahead of the favored Eagles. He should sail over 300 again here in an MVP-like effort.
