Best DFS Picks on Underdog for Super Bowl 59: Check out this Mahomes rushing prop we love

1 month ago 4

Get ready to raise your levels of excitement for Super Bowl 59 with DFS picks on specific players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. While both teams have good defenses, the Over/Under of 48.5 on sportsbooks points to enough offense for some quality DFS returns.

You can make DFS picks in Alabama and many other states on Underdog, selecting whether players will deliver final statistics Higher or Lower than the projected totals. You can also make “Rivals” picks, choosing which player will outproduce another in a particular statistical category.

Leading with former Alabama star Jalen Hurts, we supply our best DFS plays for Super Bowl 59. Get in the game as the Chiefs attempt to three-peat, while the Eagles try to spoil dynastic aspirations and win their second Super Bowl.

Jalen Hurts Super Bowl 59 DFS Pick

Higher than 212.5 passing yards at Underdog

In Super Bowl 57 against Kansas City, Hurts passed for 304 yards. While he may not approach that lofty total this time, the Eagles QB has a path to getting past the projected number because of Kansas City’s primary defensive concern.

First and foremost, K.C. will be looking to contain Saquon Barkley. So, it would not be surprising to see Hurts open up the passing game early. He also has several pass-catchers to utilize to effectively move the offense, even against a solid Chiefs secondary.

Winning Super Bowl 59 will be heavily on Hurts from an Eagles perspective. He must stand in the face of the K.C. pass pressure and deliver key strikes on a frequent basis, and the former Crimson Tide standout will be tasked with establishing optimum offensive balance.

Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl 59 DFS Pick

Over 30.5 rushing yards at Underdog

The Philadelphia defensive line is the best in the game, and so is the pass defense. The Eagles will bring constant pressure on Mahomes and he may be forced to scramble quite a few times.

Fortunately, Mahomes is productive as a runner, and that is why I am recommending this DFS pick. Kansas City’s offensive line is not fully sturdy, and I can certainly see Nolan Smith Jr. harassing Mahomes. There will also be times when the Philadelphia secondary will keep Travis Kelce in check and the other lesser Chiefs pass-catchers might not get open. In those instances, Mahomes can take off and run.

In the AFC Championship Game, the K.C. mega-star rushed for 43 yards. In Super Bowl 57, he rushed for 44 yards against the Eagles. If Mahomes doesn’t see the right receiver open and an opportunity to scramble for a good chunk of yardage, he could rip off a sizable gain on one play.

Dallas Goedert receiving yards Over Hollywood Brown on Underdog

Brown has not been much of a factor since debuting with the Chiefs. He missed most of the regular season and the statistical returns have not been good in his limited action so far.

In two regular season games, Brown totaled 91 yards. He did not catch a pass in the Divisional Round and finished with 35 yards in the AFC Championship Game.

Goedert was targeted eight times in the NFC Championship Game and finished with 85 yards. This is definitely a winnable DFS matchup for him. The Chiefs allowed the most receiving yards to tight ends during the regular season. Dalton Kincaid had 63 receiving yards in the Wild Card round vs. K.C.
