Scott Seidenberg (0:00 - 1:21)
Seidenberg introduces his prop bet pick, aligning with Fez’s idea that Philadelphia has limited pass-catching options. His core argument is:
"I'm going Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert over four and a half receptions."
He predicts line movement, expecting the number to increase to 5.5 by kickoff:
"I firmly believe that by the time we get to kick off of the Super Bowl, this line will be at five and a half."
Chiefs’ Struggles Against Tight Ends
Seidenberg highlights that Kansas City’s defense has struggled against tight ends this season. However, he acknowledges a mixed performance in recent games.
- Dalton Kincaid (Buffalo Bills):
- Had four targets but finished 2 receptions for 13 yards.
- Dawson Knox (Buffalo Bills):
- Managed only 1 reception for 7 yards.
- Dalton Schultz (Houston Texans):
- Had 4 catches for 63 yards.
- Irv Smith:
- Contributed just one catch.
Despite the limited production from Buffalo's tight ends, Texans’ tight ends were more effective, showing potential for Goedert.
Dallas Goedert’s Playoff Performance
Seidenberg builds his case by analyzing Goedert’s consistent postseason success:
"He has gone over his receptions prop in nine straight Eagles playoff games."
He provides a historical breakdown of Goedert’s playoff reception totals:
- Last 9 Playoff Games: 7-6-5-5-6-4-4-4-7 receptions.
- This year’s playoffs: 15 catches on 18 targets in 3 games.
- Last game: 7 receptions.
Current Betting Line
Goedert’s reception prop has historically been set at 3.5 or 4. The current line of 4.5 still presents value, considering his recent form and matchup against Kansas City.
Seidenberg reiterates his confidence:
"I like Dallas Goedert to go over four and a half receptions."
