Super Bowl Odds 2023: Betting Lines, Over/Under, Prop Info for Chiefs vs. Eagles
Super Bowl LVII isn't just a huge day in the world of the NFL, it's one of the biggest days of the year in sports betting. The big game doesn't just crown an NFL champion, it's a chance for bettors to get one last day of action on football before the long offseason.
This year, that tradition is likely to continue. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have been among the most elite teams in the league all season. Now, they meet with the Lombardi Trophy on the line.
It's an intriguing clash that pits Patrick Mahomes' incredible ability to generate offense regardless of what the defense is doing against Philadelphia's ruthless pass rush. It also represents a chance for Jalen Hurts to take the next step in his progression as a franchise quarterback.
While Mahomes already has a Super Bowl win to his name, this is Hurts' second trip to the postseason and the first time beyond the wild-card round.
Here's a look at the latest spread and odds along with some prop picks that are worth considering.

Patrick Mahomes to Throw an Interception
2 of 4
Patrick Mahomes is the most likely candidate to win the MVP. He's gone two playoff games without throwing a pick and the over/under that he throws an interception has been set at 0.5.
Those are all indications that it might not be smart to settle on the side that Mahomes will throw a pick. But this is about projecting forward and taking advantage of the low line.
Mahomes has played 13 postseason games in his career. In those games he has thrown 32 touchdowns to seven interceptions. Four of the seven interceptions have come in the two Super Bowls he has played in. He threw two touchdowns to two interceptions in the win over the San Francisco 49ers the first time around and threw two picks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 31-9 loss.
Those who remember that loss will recall Mahomes running for his life behind a shotty offensive line.
That could be the case once again with a hungry Philadelphia Eagles offensive line on deck. The Eagles are, by far, the best pass rush in the league this year. They had 70 sacks on the season and have a deep stable of quarterback hunters.
Even with the Chiefs' improved O-line that spells trouble for Mahomes. He led the league in interceptions this season and will be called upon to keep them in this game.
Expect at least one mistake that becomes a turnover.
Kenneth Gainwell over 19.5 Rushing Yards
3 of 4
This line doesn't seem to account for Gainwell's success and role within the Eagles offense over their last three games.
For much of the season, Gainwell was an afterthought in the Eagles rushing attack. He averaged just 3.1 carries and 14.1 yards per game.
However, he saw a slight uptick in the season finale, putting up five carries for 35 yards. Then he exploded in the first playoff game against the Giants with 112 yards on 12 carries and saw 14 carries against the 49ers' tough run defense, gaining another 48 yards.
Miles Sanders struggled to break free in two of those three games. He had a nice day against the Giants too with 92 yards on 17 carries, but he only had 33 yards on 11 carries in the season finale and another 42 yards on 11 carries against San Francisco.
Sanders was the lead back throughout the regular season. Now, Gainwell might be the most explosive of the two because his legs are still fresh. They trusted him on a third-and-one run that he turned into a big gain against the Niners.
Now, Gainwell will have a chance to smash his total rushing yards prop against a Chiefs defense that ranked 19th in yards allowed per carry (4.5) on the season.
The Eagles are going to lean on their run game, and Gainwell has had a much bigger role of late, but his line is still relatively low.

Travis Kelce over 7.5 Receptions
4 of 4
Travis Kelce had 17 more targets (145) and 19 more receptions (104) than any other tight end in the league this year. No one leaned more heavily on their tight end than Patrick Mahomes last year.
That's not going to change in the biggest game of the year.
Kelce's line of 7.5 receptions is two more than the next-highest line, but the chemistry between the quarterback and the tight end makes it a worthwhile wager that he will clear the number.
Consider the tight end's stat line in the divisional-round game against Jacksonville. The Jaguars played well defensively and Mahomes wound up looking Kelce's way with 17 targets and he caught 14 of them for 98 yards.
The Eagles have good personnel to try and slow Kelce down. T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White are athletic linebackers in coverage, C.J. Gardner-Johnson will help from his slot and safety alignments.
So while they may have the tools to slow Kelce and keep him from going over his receiving total (78.5), but that's not going to stop the Chiefs from going to their most reliable receiver.
With Mahomes facing a lot of pressure he's going to lean on the receiver he is the most comfortable with. That spells a busy night for Kelce, who has had eight receptions or more in three of his last four playoff games.
