2024 Super Bowl: 6 best Kansas City Chiefs prop bets

Kevin Erickson | Staff Writer

The San Francisco 49ers (14-5) and the Kansas City Chiefs (14-6) meet in Super Bowl LVIII Sunday in Las Vegas. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium is set for 6:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook'sodds for 6 Best Chiefs Super Bowl prop bets, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs are slight underdogs heading into the big game in Las Vegas. However, the books feel this will be a very close game, similar to last season's 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

With Kansas City, you have last season's experience to tap into. However, facing the 49ers defense will be a little bit more of a test. The Chiefs have a new weapon that was in college at this time last season with WR Rashee Rice. He'll be a big part of the offensive game plan for the defending champs. And, of course, the Chiefs have the experience of leader QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce.

Kansas City is looking to become the first back-to-back Super Bowl winner since the New England Patriots in 2004-05.

Best Chiefs Super Bowl prop bets

Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access Paste BN Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 5:19 p.m. ET.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes UNDER 261.5 passing yards (-110)

Mahomes threw for just 182 yards in last season's Super Bowl win against the Eagles, while totaling 3 TD strikes. So far this postseason he only threw for more than 261.5 yards once and that was when he finished with 262 in a Wild Card win vs. the Miami Dolphins. Last postseason, he threw for more than 261.5 yards once out of 3 games.

While Detroit's Jared Goff threw for 273 yards against the Niners in the NFC Championship Game, Green Bay's Jordan Love managed just 194 passing yards in the Divisional Round. The 49ers allowed just 215.6 passing yards per game in 2023, too.

While Mahomes has tremendous experience, the pass rush of the 49ers will not give him a lot of time to operate. He'll get most of his yardage on short to intermediate routes, but don't expect him to light up the 49ers pass defense for big yardage.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce ALT RECEPTIONS +8 (+108)

Kelce was a giant part of the game plan in the AFC Championship Game win in Baltimore, as he rolled up 11 receptions on 11 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. He even had 5 rushing yards in the game.

The tight end is likely to be front and center again. While the 49ers know it will be coming, and they'll likely be able to limit his ability downfield, Kelce should rack up plenty of short-variety catches.

There is some risk, as he had 7 or fewer catches in the final 9 regular-season games, and each of the first 2 postseason outings. However, Mahomes knows who to go to against a solid defense, and Kelce might even get to a double-digit catch total again. If you're a little more adventurous, 10+ Receptions (+270) can help you nearly triple up.

Chiefs DE George Karlaftis to record a SACK (+110)

Karlaftis is a good bet at plus-money to record a sack. Furious George had a sack against Baltimore in the AFC Championship Game, and he had 1.5 sacks in the Wild Card win vs. Miami.

Karlaftis also managed a total of 10.5 sacks in 16 regular-season games, while recording at least one sack in 7 of the past 10 total outings. The 22-year-old is a budding superstar, and he'll get his first Super Bowl sack after getting blanked in the big game against the Eagles last season.

Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed to record an INTERCEPTION (+600)

This one takes a little bit of a leap of faith. As good as the Chiefs defense was in the regular season, Kansas City still recorded just 8 interceptions. The pass rush was tremendous, but the Chiefs didn't have a ton of takeaways. However, Sneed was good for 2 picks to lead the team.

For a chance to multiply your initial wager by 6 times, Sneed is worth a roll of the dice. He picked off Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, and Justin Herbert of the Chargers during the regular season, and the Chiefs are going to force Purdy into a miscue. Sneed is the most logical beneficiary in the secondary.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco OVER 15.5 Rush Attempts (-122)

Pacheco has been a workhorse for the Chiefs down the stretch, and especially in the postseason.

In 14 regular-season games, Pacheco had 205 rushing attempts, or 14.6 per contest. That's likely what the books are basing Pacheco's attempt total on. However, he set a career high with 24 attempts in the Wild Card round against the Dolphins, while equaling that mark against the Ravens in the AFC title game.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ANYTIME TD SCORER (-120)

In addition to Pacheco seeing a ton of rushing attempts, look for Pacheco to get into the end zone.

He has scored in all 3 postseason games this season, and he has found the end zone in 7 consecutive games dating back to Nov. 26, totaling 7 rushing TDs and one receiving score.

In addition to the TD streak this season, Pacheco also scored in Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles. He is a good bet to visit the end zone again Sunday.
