This number may seem high to those who are looking at Joe Burrow’s production over the previous 2 playoff games, but the matchup against the Chiefs is against a much easier defense to throw the football on than Burrow was facing against the Bills or Ravens. The Chiefs defense this season ranked just 20th in DVOA against the pass and Burrow eclipsed this total when these teams met earlier this season, throwing for 286 yards. With a healthy Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd at his disposal I would look for Burrow to be throwing early and often in this matchup.

The Chiefs allowed the most receptions and the 4th-most receiving yards to running backs this season and Joe Mixon is coming off a career year when it comes to his involvement in the team’s passing offense. He has nearly eclipsed this total in the Bengals’ playoff games this postseason against much tougher defenses. There were only 4 games all season in which Mixon went under this total.

We have to be realistic about the matchup Jalen Hurts is about to come up against and he will be facing a defense that may be the best in the NFL. The 49ers have a strong front seven that makes it difficult to run the football and they have a solid secondary as well. I’m not sure we see much more than 230 yards passing from Hurts and 70+ yards rushing seems high as well, just given the caliber of defense he is up against.

The top defense in the NFL this season belonged to the Philadelphia Eagles. They had a league-leading 70 sacks on the year, 15 more than the next-best team. They also had 17 interceptions. They ranked 1st in DVOA defense against the pass but just 21st against the run and a heavy dose of Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell could be in store for this matchup. Purdy went under this total last week in another tough matchup against Dallas and it’s only getting harder this week with the 49ers being on the road.
