The Eagles and Chiefs both ranked in the top half of the NFL in pressure rates allowed on offense, so that may be why each player has longer odds than their numbers would dictate that they deserve.

Regardless, one player that stands out is Brandon Graham with +165 odds to record a sack.

Graham is a veteran for the Eagles, with a few key storylines suggesting he may take down Patrick Mahomes at least once during Super Bowl 57:

• Brandon Graham has shown the ability to play under the bright lights of the Super Bowl, with one sack in the Super Bowl during his career. That sack, coming against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52, arguably clinched the title for the Eagles.
• Graham has recently spoken about his desire to keep playing after this year and may be playing for one more large payday. He does not have any more years left on his contract with Philadelphia, meaning the Super Bowl may be the perfect stage to audition for the rest of the league.
• In two career active games against the Kansas City Chiefs (Graham missed one with an injury), Graham has recorded at least half a sack in both games.

On the biggest of stages with plenty to prove, betting on Brandon Graham with +165 odds to record a sack in Super Bowl 57 is based on many storylines with the production to back it up.
