Chiefs vs Eagles rushing prop picks from SBR's Phillip Wood:
Saquon Barkley Over 110.5 rushing yards (-110 FanDuel)
"Barkley has rushed for at least 118 yards in five consecutive games, and he’s averaging nearly eight yards per carry in his last two. The Chiefs may have finished the year with the eighth-best rush defense, but that unit hasn't played well in the postseason for the Super Bowl odds favorites.
James Cook ran for 85 yards and two touchdowns against them in the AFC Championship Game, and Joe Mixon finished with 88 yards during the divisional round. Both backs averaged at least 4.9 yards per carry.
This number is set high, but Barkley has been playing incredibly well throughout the year. The only way he doesn’t hit the Over here is if the Chiefs jump out to a multi-score lead right away."
Kareem Hunt Under 45.5 rushing yards (-110 bet365)
"Hunt ran for 64 yards in the AFC Championship Game, his highest total since recording 68 against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 24. While the performance is certainly a step in the right direction, I’m assuming the game was a fluke and not a sign of what's to come.
The Eagles finished the regular season with the NFL's 10th-best rushing defense, allowing just 104.2 yards per game while giving up 4.3 yards per carry. And while Kyren Williams did run for over 100 yards in the divisional round, Philadelphia didn’t allow a single Washington Commanders running back to top 40 yards in the NFC Championship.
Hunt has rushed for fewer than 46 yards in five of his last seven games. He’s also gone Under 70 yards in 10 consecutive outings, so his ceiling isn’t high enough to trust him under a spotlight like this."
Patrick Mahomes Over 29.5 rushing yards (-110 FanDuel)
"Mahomes has topped this number four times this year including the postseason. He ran for 43 yards in the AFC Championship, and he’s rushed at least seven times in both of Kansas City's playoff games this season. Additionally, the Super Bowl MVP odds favorite averaged 5.3 yards per carry during the regular season.
It’s hard to fault a defense for giving up 48 rushing yards to Jayden Daniels, but the rookie quarterback hitting that number on just six carries is a bit alarming. If the Eagles bottle up Hunt, look for Mahomes to take what the defense gives him, just like Daniels.
Three betting sites are setting this total at over 30 yards. Be sure to get in at FanDuel before the number goes up. One yard could be the difference between winning and losing this wager."
