Super Bowl LIX Defensive Prop Picks: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Pick: Chris Jones Sack (+114) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The All-Pro DT will be active in this game and has a knack for stepping up in big games. That said, he hasn't recorded a sack in the Super Bowl ... yet.
Hurts isn't at 100% as he battles a knee injury and will take a couple of sacks in this game.
Jones has gotten one sack these playoffs already against the Texans and he will break his Big Game drought here.
Pick: Jalen Carter Sack (+130) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The former Georgia star showed this season that he's one of football's best young defensive players.
Carter's only picked up his game in the playoffs, playing his best football of the year and will deliver a breakout performance in the Super Bowl.
We're getting great value at +130 on this play.
Pick: Zack Baun Over 9.5 Tackles + Ast (-140) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Baun has been one of the best stories in football this season.
Signed as a special teams player/backup by the Eagles, the LB has became a key starter for Philadelphia and has even earned a nomination for Defensive Player of the Year.
At an averaged of 9.4 Tackles + Ast this year, expect him to close out this Cinderella story in a big way in the Super Bowl.
