JuJu Smith-Schuster Receiving Yards Prop
JuJu Smith-Schuster: Under 37.5 Receiving Yards (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
We have a number of factors that make this Under such an appealing prop. For one, JuJu is coming off a knee injury, so there’s a chance that he is a bit limited in this game.
Secondly, he has seen diminished usage in this offense even before the injury. If we remove the AFC Championship Game, Smith-Schuster had combined for 112 yards in his previous four games.
That’s an average of 28 yards per game.
This is an offense that likes to spread the wealth in the passing game, so 37.5 seems like too high of a bar for JuJu, especially since he is coming off an injury.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Touchdown Prop
JuJu Smith-Schuster: Anytime Touchdown (+250) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 0.5 Units
We’ve got a dart throw touchdown prop due to the solid value at +250 odds. This game projects as a shootout with a 50.5-point total.
The Chiefs have a 24.5-point implied total, which means that they’re projected to score at least three touchdowns.
There’s always the chance that the Eagles devote most of their attention to Travis Kelce in the red zone, opening up an opportunity for JuJu to score a touchdown.
This one is worth a sprinkle.
JuJu Smith-Schuster Head-to-Head Prop
Miles Sanders: -25.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards vs JuJu Smith-Schuster (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
Sanders averaged 74.6 rushing yards and 4.6 receiving yards per game. While Smith-Schuster had a 58.3 per game average, we’ve mentioned how he’s been phased out of the offense in recent games (28 yards per game).
We also have to discuss how Sanders has gotten fewer touches throughout the postseason because both Eagles’ games have been blowouts, allowing them to get Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott more involved.
This game projects to be close, so we could see Sanders get about 20 touches. That bodes well for his likelihood of covering this rushing plus receiving yards spread.
