At FanDuel Sportsbook, the numbers are set: Mahomes with a passing prop of 262.5 yards and Purdy at 245.5. Even their rushing yards are drawing attention, with Mahomes at 25.5 and Purdy at a surprisingly low 11.5.

The question is, which quarterback should bettors keep an eye on for these props? For Purdy, surpassing 11 rushing yards seems almost a given. His agility and willingness to dash when necessary make this number seem unusually low, especially against a Chiefs defense known for its aggression. Purdy has demonstrated his mobility against teams like the Lions and Packers, making this prop seem particularly favorable.

On the other hand, Mahomes faces a tougher challenge. His higher passing yard prop, set against a formidable 49ers’ defense, suggests that he would need to be in a catch-up mode, throwing incessantly, to surpass it. This scenario seems likely only if the 49ers gain a significant lead. The Chiefs’ offense, while potent, isn’t typically geared for Mahomes to rack up such high passing yards unless facing specific opponents.

Moreover, the comparison of Purdy’s higher yardage prop against Jared Goff in the NFC championship game due to the Lions’ weaker pass defense adds another layer of complexity. The shift in prop numbers for Mahomes after going against a defense as strong as the Ravens indicates a challenging game for him.

While Purdy’s low rushing yard prop seems like an attractive bet, Mahomes’ high passing yard prop presents a riskier wager, contingent on the game’s flow and the 49ers’ defensive performance. The Super Bowl’s unpredictable nature makes these quarterback props an intriguing aspect of the game.
