Offenses ruled the day the last time the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles met in the Super Bowl two years ago, with the Chiefs winning a high-scoring 38-35 affair.

Our Super Bowl player prop picks for defensive prop bets expect both defenses to play better in this Chiefs vs. Eagles rematch in Super Bowl 2025, especially since each unit ranks among the league’s best in several statistical categories.

The Chiefs, who are the Super Bowl odds favorites, and Eagles both scored in every quarter during their first Super Bowl meeting. But this clash could be vastly different when these teams take the field on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m. ET (FOX) from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Chris Jones defensive prop pick

Over 0.25 sacks ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +114 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 46.73%

Jones just needs a half-sack to go over this projected total, and these odds are too good to pass up. The Chiefs star has tallied one sack and six quarterback pressures through two playoff games this season. 

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts doesn't typically throw a ton, but he's taken two-plus sacks in all three playoff games thus far, including seven during a divisional-round win over the Rams.

FanDuel offers +136 odds for Jones to record a sack, but I'm taking advantage of DraftKings’ +114 odds in case he splits his sack with a teammate. A $10 winning wager would pay out $21.40 for one of your Super Bowl predictions.

Jalen Carter defensive prop pick

Under 0.25 sacks ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -138 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 57.98%

From a pass-rush perspective, Jalen Carter has been enjoying more success than Chris Jones this postseason, recording two sacks and eight quarterback pressures. 

However, I'm still taking the Under because of the success the Chiefs have been producing with a reshuffled offensive line.

The Chiefs averaged 23.2 points per game before moving Joe Thuney to left tackle in Week 15. They also allowed a 7% sack percentage, and Mahomes totaled a 64 QBR.

Kansas City’s offensive points per game average rose to 26.4 after moving Thuney to left tackle in Week 15 (excluding Week 18 when he didn't line up at the position). The Chiefs also allowed just a 3% sack rate, and Mahomes registered an 81 QBR. 

Carter’s O/U for tackles is set at 1.5, so I'm backing him to go without a sack given that low total.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson defensive prop pick

Over 0.5 interceptions ⭐⭐

Best odds: +475 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 17.39%

Gardner-Johnson has tallied six interceptions this season, and he's the only player with shorter than +600 odds at DraftKings to notch one during the Super Bowl.

The Eagles' defense has been opportunistic during the playoffs while scoring 41 points off turnovers, which is tied for the fourth-most in a single postseason all time. 

That's why this is worth a flier at juicy +475 odds, especially with Mahomes getting an O/U of 36.5 pass attempts and -105 odds at bet365 to throw at least one interception.
