If you’re looking for a not-so-exotic prop bet for the Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl, how about sacks?
The total is 5 1/2.
Prop: Over -105/Under -115 (at Caesars Sportsbook)
Prediction: Over
Patrick Mahomes (26) and Jalen Hurts (38) were dropped a combined 64 times in the regular season. Tack on five more in the playoffs — two for Hurts, three for Mahomes — and that total rises to 69.
Now guess which teams ranked 1-2 in sacks during the regular season? Yep, the Eagles and Chiefs.
Philadelphia blew away the field with 70 sacks, with K.C. notching 55.
Obviously, both Hurts and Mahomes are elusive quarterbacks. But by extending plays with their feet, they also give the pass rush time to hunt them down.
