  • Targeting Jalen Hurts in multiple props: Hurts has some clear advantages and disadvantages to consider this weekend.
  • Boston Scott needs some love: The Philadelphia Eagles’ advantage in the trenches should help push a low rushing total over the edge.
  • Fading JuJu Smith-Schuster: Minimal involvement in the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense and the Eagles’ top-tier corners puts the unders in play.

The Super Bowl brings plenty of betting options but finding the right ones to target in a game that has been analyzed more than any other is no easy task. Utilizing PFF data and player grades can help bettors find the few remaining edges heading into the biggest game of the year.

Bet: Jalen Hurts under 238.5 passing yards (1.90 on BETMGM)

Hurts comes into the Super Bowl after throwing for 275 yards through his two playoff games and less than 230 yards in four of his past five games. The Eagles are averaging 30.5 passing attempts per game on the year, which ranks 24th, and have landed below that rate through the last three games (28.0).

The Chiefs' coverage abilities present a mismatch, as Kansas City owns a 74.4 coverage grade as a team during this year’s playoffs, which ranks fourth, while the Eagles' entire passing offense owns a 64.7 grade, which ranks seventh during the playoffs. The Eagles passing offense is not overly reliant on hitting big passes either, with just 112 attempts on the year of 15 or more yards (17th).


Bet: Quez Watkins under 1.5 receptions made (-175 on DraftKings)
