Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in Chiefs vs. Eagles Week 11
By Joe Summers
We've got an epic Monday Night Football matchup in store with the Chiefs hosting the Eagles in Week 11.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had big games against Philadelphia in the Super Bowl, with Mahomes throwing for three TDs and Kelce catching one of them.
Are the two set for huge performances once again? Let's look at my best bets for both superstars below.
Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes in Chiefs vs. Eagles Week 11
1. Patrick Mahomes OVER 24.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
You can pretty much lock Mahomes' rushing yards over in as an every-week bet. He's got 20+ rushing yards in every game except the win over Minnesota, averaging just under 29 yards per contest.
Against a tough defensive front like the Eagles', I expect Mahomes to escape the pocket with regularity. He had 44 rushing yards in the Super Bowl and I think he'll get at least 30 in the rematch.
Philadelphia has a stout rush defense overall, but nimble quarterbacks can find rushing room. Sam Howell had a season-high 40 rushing yards against this Eagles defense and Mahomes should pull out all of the stops to get the victory.
2. Patrick Mahomes OVER 2 TDs (+110)
I'd jump on this value immediately over at DraftKings Sportsbook. Mahomes has 2+ TD passes in six of Kansas City's nine games this year and threw three in the Super Bowl. To get plus odds on this prop is music to my ears.
The Eagles rank 17th in opponent points per game (21.7) and have been susceptible to effective passing attacks. In their last four games as underdogs (all losses), the Eagles surrendered an average of over 36 points per game.
Coming off the bye week in a massive game in front of a national audience, you can expect Mahomes to get at least two TD passes.
Now let's look at my favorite Travis Kelce bets on the next page.
