Kansas City Chiefs Defense +4200
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense continues to get all the credit for their success, but they wouldn't be playing for their third championship in four years if not for their improved defense. Don't be surprised if the Chiefs defense makes a big play right off the bat, cashing as a longshot first touchdown scorer.
One of the most significant factors we're assessing in making this bet is Brock Purdy's ineffective play. The Niners quarterback has looked out of sorts early in games, needing an entire half, if not longer, to find his rhythm. Those nerves will only be amplified as Purdy plays in the first Super Bowl of his career.
The other factor we're weighing is the Chiefs' defensive depth. Kansas City has playmakers in every level of their defense. Chris Jones, L'Jarius Sneed, Justin Reid, and Drue Tranquill are just a few of those defenders who have come up with big plays in the postseason.
The best part of this prop is that you don't have to choose just one player. At +4200, you are rooting for anyone on the Chiefs' defense to make a big play.
