Isiah Pacheco Prop Bets for Super Bowl LVIII

The Chiefs’ second-year running back has been a vital part of their offense. Here are a few ways to wager on his performance next Sunday.


Isiah Pacheco’s rushing props have been released for Super Bowl LVIII. Let’s check in on the early market for the Kansas City Chiefs runner.

Pacheco has established himself as one of the top runners in the NFL, averaging 66.8 rushing yards per game during the regular season (11th).

In the postseason, he has averaged even more: 84.7 yards per game across three games played. He has rushed an average of 21 times per game in the postseason- the most of all playoff running backs. He also has three rushing touchdowns in those three contests.

The matchup with the San Francisco 49ers should be a good one for Pacheco. In the postseason, the 49ers have allowed the most yards per game to opposing runners (131). Last week the Niners allowed 100 total yards to David Montgomery and Jahmyr GIbbs, and in the previous round Aaron Jones burned them for 108 on his own.
