The speedy rookie has taken on the role of WR1 for the Chiefs over the back half of the season, thanks to his development, Rashee Rice’s injury and Hollywood Brown slowly working his way back from injury. In the Chiefs last five games where they played starters (Week 18 excluded), Xavier Worthy has 32 catches on 44 targets. He’s a more complete receiver than some thought coming into the draft, but he also possesses some of the most blazing speed in the league right now, a combo that makes him ripe for a big blowup early in this game. I’d be pretty surprised if Andy Reid didn’t have some kind of trick or shot play designed for Worthy early, and while 50 receiving yards is a LOT to ask for in the first quarter, we’re probably banking on him getting there via a single play down the field or a quick-hitting, screen-style play that he takes for a massive gain. 

Hurts converts first first down of the game (+1400)

This is a crazy number for Hurts?! The Eagles are — likely — going to come out and try to run the ball. But those runs might be read options! It’s not outrageous at all to suggest Philly decides to mix things up and fake a run to Saquon Barkley, only to have Hurts keep the ball, find a seam in the Chiefs defense and rumble for a first down on the Eagles first possession of the game. Additionally, we can get this if Hurts drops backs to pass early and is pressured, decides to take off running and picks up a first down. Oh yeah and there’s the extremely realistic scenario of a third-and-1 or fourth-and-1 early after a decent kickoff return followed by a “Tush Push” for a first down. I really like this look. 

And then there are some truly bizarre ones that these gents threw in for sh-ts and giggles:

Gatorade color bet

There are few Super Bowl traditions more beloved than the Gatorade bath, which has been capping off every instalment of the Big Game since 1986.

The Chiefs have doused Andy Reid with purple Gatorade in each of their past two wins, but Covers Betting Analyst Rohit Ponnaiya favors another approach in his Super Bowl Gatorade color prediction this year.

“Early money has come in on purple and yellow/green/lime, separating those two colors from the rest of the pack while red/pink has tumbled all the way to +650,” he says. “Whether you bet on purple or yellow/green/lime will really come down to which team you think will win. But with both options available at better than +200, it makes sense to put half a unit on each side and hope that neither team decides to switch things up.”
