The Super Bowl isn’t just a game to determine the champion of the NFL. Nooooo, it’s an experience that lasts the entire day. From the hours long pregame show to the postgame awards ceremony and second-guessing analysis, football fans are bombarded. To make things more interesting and liven up the game even more, sportsbooks go all out just like the television commercials. And what they’ve come up with is an amazing array of propositional bets.
You don’t have to be a fan of either team or the NFL to guess whether or not the coin toss will land on heads or tails. But you can place a wager on it. The halftime show has become a bigger deal than the game itself, and because of that there are a number of prop bets available. And, of course, there is a game between the two best teams in the league unfolding. That’s where the betting really takes place with billions of dollars wagered on which team wins and on the performance of certain players. Welcome to the world of Super Bowl props.
Watch Super Bowl LV live on Sunday, February 7, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. ET from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The game will be televised on CBS.
Super Bowl LV Prop Bets Odds at BookMaker.eu
There are hundreds if not thousands of prop bets available so get a head start and view them now to get an idea on what you want to wager. Player props are all about numbers so it’s only fitting that skilled guys on offense get most of the attention. And since the quarterbacks handle the football on every play, they are the ones getting most of the action. Between them Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have five Super Bowl MVPs and seven Super Bowl wins. But alas, it’s a team game and there are other players on the field. Instead of looking at quarterback props, let’s delve into other players and see where money can be made.
Travis Kelce Total Pass Receptions
Over 7.5 ( -176 )
Under 7.5 ( +140 )
The Chiefs will throw the football, it’s what they do. And Kelce was the recipient a team high 105 times while being targeted 145 times during the regular season. He had more than seven receptions nine times, including in seven of his last eight games. He’s been more productive in the postseason with 21 total catches in two games and more than seven in both. As far as tight ends go, Kelce is the best in the business right now, and that’s saying something since the position has evolved across the NFL. The price on the OVER is steep, and considering in the nine games he had more than seven catches six times he did it with eight. There’s a slim margin on this prop and taking the UNDER is a better value pick. Tampa will certainly try to take Kelce out of the mix and their strong group of linebackers should have some success.
Prediction: UNDER 7.5 ( +140 )
Rob Gronkowski Total Pass Receptions
Over 2.5 ( -116 )
Under 2.5 ( -113 )
Sticking with the tight ends let’s have a look at Gronkowksi’s prop. Yep, Gronk is on the board for a total of 2.5 receptions with the UNDER the negative odds favorite. He has only two catches in three postseason games and hasn’t been a big part of the Bucs offense. But that changes on Sunday. In the biggest game of the season you can expect Brady to target his good buddy. The two had great chemistry during their time together in New England and Gronk caught six Brady offerings in a Super Bowl win over the Rams two years ago. This one has OVER written all over it.
Prediction: OVER 2.5 ( -116 )
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Total Rush Attempts
Over 7.5 ( -153 )
Under 7.5 ( +122 )
This is an interesting prop and one that I find has plenty of value on the UNDER. Sure Edwards-Helaire was the Chiefs leading rusher during the regular season and averaged nearly 14 attempts, but a late season injury forced him out of a few games allowing Darrell Williams to take over as the lead back. And given the success Williams has had I don’t think he’ll lose playing time. Edwards-Helaire returned for the AFC Championship and had just six carries for seven yards, numbers that won’t inspire a lot of confidence in the coaching staff. And running the football wasn’t exactly high on the Chiefs offensive to-do list. I’ll happily take the UNDER with a nice payout.
Prediction: UNDER 7.5 ( +122 )
