Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Best Prop Bets

The NFL Championship will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, with the Kansas City Chiefs looking to become the first team ever to win three titles in a row.

Standing in their way are the Philadelphia Eagles, who were beaten 38-35 by the Chiefs in the big game two years ago and will be out for revenge over Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

The NFL Championship is the biggest event in the sporting calendar and presents a unique opportunity with the number of prop markets available to bettors.  

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles best prop bet picks

First Touchdown Type - Rushing (+110)

The Philadelphia Eagles’ 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game was the highest score by any team in a Conference Championship game since the NFL merger in 1970.

The Birds managed that on the back of an outstanding performance on the ground, rushing for seven touchdowns in the game.

In fact, in the postseason, Philadelphia has rushed for ten touchdowns and thrown for just three. In the regular season, they also rushed for more touchdowns than they threw.

The Kansas City Chiefs have also rushed for more touchdowns than they have thrown this postseason, 4-2.

Both quarterbacks are extremely strong runners, with Hurts and the 'Tush Push' being particularly dangerous to the Chiefs.

Add to that explosive running backs in the shape of Saquon Barkley and Kareem Hunt and the odds for a rushing touchdown to be the first makes plenty of appeal. 

Both Teams To Make a Field Goal of 34+ Yards - Yes (-105)

Both of these teams are blessed with strength across the depth chart and that extends to the position of kicker.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Jake Elliott and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker have both been almost perfect in the postseason.

Between them, the two kickers have made ten of their 11 field goals, with Elliott’s 54-yard miss against the Washington Commanders last time out the only miss for either player.

In the regular season, Elliott was 18-20 between 30 and 49 yards, while Butker was 11-11 from that range in an injury-hit campaign.

The Eagles only attempted one field goal in a dominant win over the Commanders in the Conference Championship, but this will be a much more competitive clash and even though they have a tendency to be aggressive on fourth down, there will be times when taking the three points is the sensible decision.

It was a 35-yard field goal that eventually decided the Kansas City Chiefs win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game and both teams to have a kick from that yardage on Sunday looks like a solid pick. 

'I Knew You Were Trouble' - Saquon Barkley 200+ Rush & Rec Yards and Score a Touchdown (+850)

Singer Taylor Swift will be watching as Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The biggest obstacle between Kansas City and an NFL Championship three-peat will be Saquon Barkley.

The running back has been the key player for the Eagles this season, he rushed for 2,005 yards in 16 regular season games and has taken his game to a new level in the postseason, rushing for five touchdowns and 442 yards and registering 35 receiving yards in three games.

He has the ability to blow games wide open with his explosive plays and the Eagles will rely on him heavily so he could have a blockbuster NFL Championship to cap an incredible season.
