With Super Bowl LIX nearing and a thrilling rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, many aspects beyond the actual game have many fans hyped. These props allow you to predict and bet on various game aspects beyond the final score. Explore the Top 10 Super Bowl 59 prop bets today!
Here are my top 11 prop bets to consider for this year’s championship showdown.
1. Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a real hero, particularly in the red zone. With his ability to pass and rush, he is truly a dual threat. Based on his recent performances, a prop bet on Hurts to score a touchdown anytime during the game seems like a good bet. Recent reports indicate that oddsmakers have him as one of the more popular props to find the end zone.
2. Travis Kelcer 6.5 Receptions
Travis Kelce is a darling receiver for the Chiefs’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. In recent games, the number of Kelce receptions keeps jolting high. Based on the cohesive chemistry between Mahomes and Kelce, one can hardly go wrong when betting on Kelce to go over 6.5 receptions.
3. Isiah Pacheco Over 68.5 Rushing Plus Receiving Yards
Rookie running back Isiah Pacheco has been a major factor for the Chiefs. His versatility in both the run and pass game gives them another dimension. With the Eagles’ defense focused on Mahomes and Kelce, Pacheco may find opportunities to put up a large amount of yardage.
4. Patrick Mahome Over 15.5 Rushing Yards
While he’s battled ankle injury for most of the season, Mahomes has made several plays with his legs this year. Two weeks to recover will only make him more mobile. The bet over 15.5 rushing yards for Mahomes may be dicey since if the Eagles’ defense can get to him, forcing him to scramble around.
5. Total Points Over 50.5
Both teams have high-powered offenses with the ability to score numerous points. Based on their offensive strengths and recent games, it is conceivable that the total score could surpass 0.5 points. This side wager relies on the performance of both teams’ offenses and weaknesses in their respective defenses.
6. First Offensive Play: Pass
In the modern NFL, most teams come out guns blazing to begin the game, trying to establish a rhythm early. The Chiefs and Eagles possess high-powered passing attacks. Betting on the first offensive play to be a pass is in line with the recent trend of the game going through the air.
7. Total Sacks Over 4.5
Both defenses have good pass rushers. The Eagles are very good up front on defense. Given their OLs aren’t impressive and QBs do like to extend plays, the over 4.5 sacks in this game feels very reasonable.
8. Longest Touchdown Over 44.5 Yards
Explosive plays can happen for both teams with playmakers such as Tyreek Hill for the Chiefs and DeVonta Smith for the Eagles. The Over 44.5-yard guest touchdown wager covers the likelihood of big plays breaking the game open.
9. Total Field Goals Made Over 3.5
Both teams have reliable kickers and offenses that, with potential, might stall in the red zone due to strong defensive plays. This scenario could lead to multi-field goal attempts. Betting on over 3.5 total field goals made considers the likelihood of both teams capitalizing on their kicking game.
10. Coin Toss Result: Tails
Coin toss is a classic Super Bowl prop bet and is the purest game of chance. While this bet doesn’t involve any sort of game analysis, it’s a fun way to get into the pre-game festivities.
11. Halftime Show Prop Bets
Halftime show props are some of the more popular wagering options for the event, considering a wide range of aspects of the performance. Before placing your bets on any halftime props, you need to have adequate information on previous performances. These could shed light on how the present performance might be. For Super Bowl 59 with headlining act Kendrick Lamar, the most common prop bets will include:
- First song performance: Here you will wager on the first song that will be played by the artist as the opening song. Make sure you are well conversant with his songs and maybe place your bet on his most-played song.
- Guest Appearance: Kendrick Lamar is likely to have guest artists perform during the halftime show. Possible guests to complement him could include SZA whom they have a collaboration in “All the Stars”. Travis Scott is likely to be present too. Put your wager on this and thank me later.
- Wardrobe color: You can put your odds on the color of clothes you think Lamar is likely to wear for the performance.
- “Diss” mentions: Wager on whether he could call out or “diss” artists, especially Drake whom he seems to have a fallout.
- Total number of songs: Do you have an idea of how many songs were played last year? If so, take a risk and wager on this.
- Wagers involving technical aspects: This involves elements like whether there will be a wardrobe malfunction or if any technical issues will occur during the performance.
Conclusion
It’s extra fun when one makes prop bets during the Super Bowl. Always remember to bet responsibly and take the latest information and odds into consideration before laying down any bets. May the best team win, and may the odds be with your bets.
