Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes – NFL Predictions
We have prepared the best predictions for Patrick Mahomes’ performance against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Bet 1 – Patrick Mahomes Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns – Odds -190
Mahomes is always the key player when it comes to finishing Chiefs’ drives, especially given Kansas City’s lack of a productive ground game in goal-line situations. Tight ends, in particular, are prime candidates to catch touchdown passes from No. 15.
Bet 2 – Patrick Mahomes Over 23.5 Completions – -135
While the Eagles rely on a nearly unstoppable ground game, the Chiefs are often forced to lean on their passing attack. The good news is that Mahomes is already one of the greatest quarterbacks in history and is once again aiming for the Super Bowl MVP title.
Bet 3 – Patrick Mahomes to Score a Rushing Touchdown – +400
Mahomes reached the end zone twice in the AFC Championship Game against the Bills and remains a serious threat in the running game, particularly on scrambles. The high odds suggest this is an unlikely bet, but against a strong Eagles secondary, the quarterback might have no choice but to run the ball himself into the end zone.
Best Bets for Jalen Hurts – NFL Predictions
Below are the best predictions for Jalen Hurts’ performance against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bet 1 – Jalen Hurts to Score a Touchdown – Odds -115
Hurts recorded three rushing touchdowns in the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders and is likely to find the end zone again in the Super Bowl. The Eagles’ No. 1 is a threat not just in the “tush-push” but also on longer runs in read-option plays.
Hurts is exceptionally quick and can break tackles like few other quarterbacks in the league, making him a danger for long runs, especially against man-to-man coverage from the Chiefs.
Bet 2 – Jalen Hurts Over 27.5 Pass Attempts – Odds -105
Attempting 28 passes is routine for a quarterback and a relatively low number for a game where the Eagles enter as underdogs. If the ground game struggles, Hurts will have to rely on his arm to win the game—a challenge he has already proven capable of handling.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles – Final Prediction
The Philadelphia Eagles will win their second Super Bowl in franchise history and get revenge for their loss in Super Bowl LVII two years ago. Their dominant rushing attack and suffocating defense should pose major problems for the Chiefs.
While Kansas City boasts the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes, it may not be enough to overcome Nick Sirianni’s well-rounded Eagles squad.
