One of our favorite bets in the Super Bowl prop market is for the Eagles’ Kenneth Gainwell to go over his posted total of 18.5 rushing yards. In Philly’s two playoff games, Gainwell has gone for 48 yards on 14 carries against the Niners and 112 yards on 12 carries against the Giants. Those games represented Gainwell’s two highest rushing totals on the season and his two top games in carries. Clearly, Nick Sirianni appreciates the explosiveness that Gainwell brings to the offense and we expect that he will continue seeing the expansion of his role in the Eagles’ offense in Super Bowl 57. The Eagles have the best offensive line in the NFL and will face a middling Kansas City run defense that allowed 4.5 yards per carry for the season. Gainwell can eclipse this total on just a few carries, which we think he’ll get. We are playing this one at MyBookie and we suggest you grab it up asap, since this number will go up.
Prediction: Kenneth Gainwell (Eagles) OVER 18.5 rushing yards
