Devonta Smith Props: Smith Odds, Predictions for Super Bowl Prop Bets 2023

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devonta Smith is set to play a prominent role against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57. Read on for our top Devonta Smith player prop picks for Sunday’s showdown based on the best NFL odds.

Bettors can find props for just about any player in this week's Chiefs vs. Eagles matchup, including Philadelphia wide receiver Devonta Smith.

Here are our best Devonta Smith player prop picks for Super Bowl 57 (odds via PointsBet, SuperBook, and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Devonta Smith Under 5.5 receptions (-135 via PointsBet) vs. Chiefs ⭐⭐⭐

On the surface, one could argue that Smith will be in line for a bunch of targets in Super Bowl LVII. Lining up opposite a star receiver such as A.J. Brown has paid major dividends for Smith in his second NFL season. Excluding the lopsided NFC Championship Game, Smith has seen a minimum of eight targets in 10 consecutive games. 

Where things get tricky is banking on whether or not those targets will ultimately turn into receptions. Smith has eclipsed the prop total of 5.5 receptions in four of the last five games. However, it’s worth noting that two of those contests came with Gardner Minshew under center. Two more came against a New York Giants secondary that left a lot to be desired.

Not only do the Eagles want to prioritize running the football, but this is also statistically the optimal way to attack the Chiefs’ defense. Jalen Hurts also has Brown, Dallas Goedert, and several other pass catchers at his disposal. Couple this with the fact that the Under is juiced north of -160 at other sportsbooks and there is decent value in PointsBet’s -135 price.

Devonta Smith anytime touchdown (+200 via SuperBook) ⭐

Oftentimes, it’s wise for bettors to wager on prices as opposed to a convoluted handicap or situational assessment. This second Smith-related prop follows this formula to a tee. 

SuperBook currently has Smith’s odds to be an anytime touchdown scorer in the Super Bowl set at +200. When one compares this 2/1 price to the odds that other sportsbooks have listed on the exact same prop, it becomes extremely intriguing. Out of our top-rated sportsbooks, FanDuel’s +165 price is the next-best option available.

Smith found pay dirt seven times during the regular season and in the Eagles’ Divisional Round playoff game. The +200 odds translate to a 33.3% implied probability that he will score in the Super Bowl. With Brown and Goedert also demanding careful attention, it’s worth taking a shot that Smith will get the better of a young Kansas City secondary.

JuJu Smith-Schuster +20.5 receiving yards vs. Devonta Smith (-105 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐

The head-to-head yardage handicaps at DraftKings are one of the most compelling ways to bet on Super Bowl player props this year. Among the options available is a receiving yardage clash between Smith and Kansas City’s JuJu Smith-Schuster, with the former laying 20.5 yards at the time of this writing.

On the surface, it’s easy to discern why Smith is considered the favorite to obtain more yards in this matchup. One prominent element is the fact that Smith-Schuster got knocked out of the AFC Championship Game with a knee injury. However, he has been a full participant in practice for the Chiefs since Wednesday and will likely be a full-go in the Super Bowl.

When it comes to the role of the Chiefs’ wideouts, Smith-Schuster primarily operates in the slot and runs short-to-intermediate routes. With the concerns about how Kansas City’s offensive line will hold up in pass protection being very real, Patrick Mahomes may struggle to push the ball down the field. Smith-Schuster would be a major beneficiary of a quick-release passing attack.
