With Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown drawing significant attention, will DeVonta Smith go over in receptions and receiving yards versus the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday?

This postseason, Smith has caught all 12 of his targets for 121 yards. He was targeted four times in all three of the Eagles’ playoff games, respectively, and caught exactly four passes in all three of those games, respectively. His longest receptions were 28 versus the Packers Wildcard Weekend, seven yards versus the Rams in the Divisional round and 20 yards against the NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
DeVonta Smith Super Bowl LIX Prediction:
I like the over for Smith’s receptions and receiving yards. In the two games that these two teams have played the last two seasons, Smith has had success versus the Chiefs. This could be because Kanas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has chosen to focus on A.J. Brown and conceding the underneath routes to Smith in the process.
In any event, Smith caught seven passes for 100 yards (nine targets) versus the Chiefs in the first Super Bowl between these two teams. When these teams played their rematch a season ago, Smith caught six passes for 99 yards on eight targets. In both games, Smith drew more targets than Brown.
