Well, well, well. They're back again. The Chiefs are going for the first ever three-peat in Super Bowl history, and while this team isn't the powerhouse that we've seen at the peak of the Kansas City dynasty, as long as they have Patrick Mahomes, they have a shot. Let's dive in to pick data and trends for the Chiefs in the big game.
Trending QuickPicks Plays
All the attention is on Patrick Mahomes. The most popular QuickPicks play on the Chiefs side of the ball is Patrick Mahomes more than 1.5 passing TDs thrown. Surprisingly, he's only had 2+ passing TDs in 2 of his last 5 games. The Eagles have arguably the best defense in the NFL, and while you can't stop Mahomes, they're going to do all they can to contain him.
Other trending QuickPicks plays for Kansas City players include: • Harrison Butker more than 1.5 made field goals • DeAndre Hopkins more than 12.5 receiving yards • Patrick Mahomes more than 5.5 rushing attempts • Xavier Worthy more than 5.5 rushing yards
Travis Kelce

• 61.5 receiving yards Kelce has gone over this number in 2 of his last 5. Mahomes's safety valve should see plenty of action today. • Longest reception 20.5 yards He's only hit this in 1 of his last 5 games.
