Super Bowl 59 Prediction: Patrick Mahomes Over 29.5 Rushing Yards, Ladder
- 35+ (+125)
- 40+ (+165)
- 45+ (+225)
Patrick Mahomes thrives in chaos, turning broken plays into big moments, and against the Eagles in this Super Bowl rematch, his legs could be his greatest weapon.
Betting on Mahomes to clear 29.5 rushing yards isn’t just about stats — it’s about understanding how he dismantles defenses, especially one like Vic Fangio’s.
Fangio’s disciplined, two-high safety defense is designed to limit explosive plays, but Mahomes doesn’t play by those rules.
Fangio himself admitted, “You've got to defend the play they call in the huddle, and then you've got to defend the play he calls when things break down.”
That second play — the unscripted one — is where Mahomes becomes a magician. He’s punished this defensive style before, exploiting light boxes and taking what’s given.
When lanes open, he takes off. When the pocket collapses, he finds space. Against an Eagles defense that will be coming after him all night, expect Mahomes to escape and extend plays with his legs.
History backs this up.
He ran for 44 yards against the Eagles, 66 against the 49ers, and has averaged 43 rushing yards per Super Bowl appearance.
His only sub-30-yard performance came against the Buccaneers while playing behind a battered offensive line. Otherwise, in the biggest games, Mahomes has always leaned on his legs.
The Eagles' ferocious pass rush — led by Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith — will force Mahomes into scramble mode.
He’s averaging nine rush attempts per game in the playoffs, and in the AFC Championship, he didn’t just scramble. He ran for two touchdowns.
Kansas City trusts him to move the chains in any way possible.
At 29.5 yards, the line feels low. There’s history. There's a game script. There’s the fundamental mismatch of Mahomes’ improvisation against a rigid defensive structure.
With a three-peat championship on the line, Mahomes will take what’s there. History says he always does.

Super Bowl 59 Prediction: Samaje Perine Over 15 receiving yards (+115)
The Chiefs running back is quietly one of the most reliable pieces in the Kansas City offense, a safety valve in a system that thrives on chaos and adaptation.
While Kareem Hunt has been the thunder in KC’s backfield, Perine is the steady hand, the passing-down option who can pick up blitzes, move the chains, and serve as a reliable check-down for Patrick Mahomes when the pocket collapses.
And in a game where the Chiefs will be facing a relentless pass rush, his role as a pass-catching back could be more crucial than ever.
With a 78% catch rate and an average of 8.8 yards per touch, Perine isn’t just a body in the backfield. He’s a proven weapon.
His ability to turn short passes into meaningful gains is exactly what the Chiefs need in high-pressure situations.
Kansas City has positioned him as their go-to third-down back, a role that keeps him involved in the passing game, especially when Mahomes is forced to make quick decisions, which he’ll likely be doing often against an Eagles defense.
In a matchup that could demand more short, efficient plays, Perine is primed to capitalize.
Over his last 15 games, he’s averaged 20.7 receiving yards, hitting at least 15 yards in 11 of those contests.
With at least one reception in nearly every game this season, the volume is there.
The Chiefs' deep threats will pull defensive backs downfield, opening up space underneath where Perine can work.
Against an aggressive front looking to disrupt Mahomes, expect Perine to slip out as the check-down option more than once.
The over 15 receiving yards at +115 isn’t just a value bet. It’s a bet on the Chiefs using a proven formula in a game where every yard matters.
The safer wager is backing Perine 10+ receiving yards (-115). I’m reaching for value with 15+.
Super Bowl 59 Prediction: Jalen Hurts 2+ touchdowns (+500)
Jalen Hurts is a battering ram, a locomotive in midnight green, and the embodiment of inevitability when the Eagles get near the goal line.
This wager is about recognizing a pattern, a tendency, and a play design that has become one of the most dominant forces in the modern NFL.
The “Tush Push,” or the “Brotherly Shove,” the play that has every defensive coordinator in the league cursing under their breath. Whatever you want to call it, it works.
And it works because physics says it should.
The Eagles have mastered the art of leverage, momentum transfer, and coordinated force, turning what should be a routine short-yardage play into an unstoppable machine.
Behind an offensive line that has been together long enough to move in perfect unison, Hurts doesn’t just sneak forward; he gets catapulted. Defenses know it’s coming. They still can’t stop it.
The Chiefs will try — Steve Spagnuolo has had two weeks to scheme against it — but history suggests the result is already written.
And then there’s Hurts himself, a quarterback in name but a bruising ball carrier in reality, with nine rushing scores in the postseason alone. He’s had four multi-touchdown rushing performances this season. Mahomes may be the magician, but Hurts is the enforcer.
Josh Allen found the end zone against them earlier this season, and Hurts is just as capable, if not more so. If the Eagles get inside the five, you know what’s coming. And if they get there twice? You might already have your two touchdowns.
While Saquon Barkley brings explosiveness and big-play potential, Hurts remains the go-to option in short-yardage situations, where his power, decision-making, and the near-unstoppable Tush Push make him the most reliable path to the end zone.
Hurts to have just one rushing score is -115. The Chiefs can prepare all they want. When Hurts lowers his shoulders, physics wins.
