Best Bets: Eagles-Chiefs
It is time to add funds to your bankroll in the final game of the 2022 NFL season.
Super Bowl 57 features the two No. 1 seeds, as the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles will battle the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Play Michigan lead writer Drew Ellis has several wagers that have the potential to boost your bankroll this evening.
Chiefs +1.5
Most of the money is on the Eagles as the favorite, but I like the Chiefs with the points. Philadelphia hasn’t had a schedule full of top quarterbacks. The Eagles gave up 33 points to Aaron Rodgers, 40 to Dak Prescott and 35 to Jared Goff. As long as Kansas City can protect Patrick Mahomes, I expect him to be able to make plays. The Kansas City defense is also not getting much respect. I think the Chiefs can do their part to negate Jalen Hurts’ legs and limit the explosive plays from Philadelphia.

Patrick Mahomes Over 293.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Kansas City struggled to run the ball against Cincinnati, forcing Mahomes to have to be the entire offense in the AFC Championship Game. Philadelphia brings a top-five run defense to the field for this game, so I expect more of the same for the KC run game. Mahomes is going to have to be the one to lead the Chiefs to victory, so I see a 300-yard passing game for the Super Bowl veteran tonight. The Eagles’ secondary hasn’t been up against a quarterback of his level all season.
