Best Super Bowl LIX Player Prop Bets: Chiefs vs. Eagles Player Props | Deadspin.com

So many props, so little time. If you try to review every single Super Bowl prop posted at online sportsbooks…well, who has that kind of time? But who has time to read an article written by someone whose job is to review the extensive menu of prop bets out there to find the best ones?

I’m not guaranteeing anything, and I’m not going to lie to you or refer to any of these as ‘locks’ because there is no such thing. But these all qualify to be on our ‘Best Super Bowl Props’ list.

Super Bowl Props

Now, I’m not just here to pick winners. I could give you a list of props like ‘Saquon Barkley to have the most rushing yards at -460 via FanDuel,’ and it will more than likely win. But is the chance to win $100 on this prop worth putting $460 at risk? Absolutely not.

No, my goal is to list props where the risk is worth the reward.

Super Bowl Props: Rushing (FanDuel)

Saquon Barkley, OVER 109.5 Rushing Yards at -110

OVER 21.5 Rushing Attempts at -128

OVER 24.5 Rushing Yards in 1st Quarter -115

To Record 50+ Rushing Yards in Each Half +180

Anytime First Half Touchdown +135

I am going pretty hard on Barkley, but with good reason. He is by far the most reliable skill-position player on either team. Philadelphia will give him the ball early and often because if the Chiefs do stop him, he will not remain stopped.

He’s averaged 22 carries a game in the postseason despite only getting 15 in the NFC title game. The Chiefs have been giving up right around 150 yards rushing a game during the postseason, so there is no reason to think Barkley can’t take advantage of this defense.

Super Bowl Props: Touchdown (DraftKings)

Saquon Barkley, Anytime -195

2+ TDs +275

First +450

Jalen Hurts, Anytime -120

2+ TDs +500

First +600

Travis Kelce, Anytime +145

If you were to tell me that just two players for the Eagles were going to get in the end zone, I’d say without hesitation that it would be Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. They accounted for nine of Philly’s 13 postseason touchdowns and 29 of 53 during the regular season.

At least one of them scored in every game but two this season. Barkley scored 2+ eight times, and Hurts seven. As often as the two of them score, there is certainly value in betting on either to be the first to score a touchdown.

The Chiefs do not have anyone who scores with the regularity that Hurts or Barkley do. But if there is one player that Patrick Mahomes knows he can count on, that he can trust and rely on to make the tough catch in the end zone, it’s Travis Kelce.

Super Bowl Props: Receiving

Travis Kelce, OVER 6.5 Receptions at +120/-150

OVER 61.5 Receiving Yards at -115/-115

Dallas Goedert, OVER 51.5 yards -105/-125

OVER 4.5 Receptions at -125/-105

One of the keys for the winner of the game will be possession. Having the ball means your quarterback can score, but the other guy’s quarterback is stuck watching the game. Next to establishing the running game, the best thing to do is use your tight end to catch passes over the middle and move the chains.

Kelce and Goedert do a great job of filling that role and will do so again in Super Bowl 59.
