OK. So we’ve gone over countless player props for Super Bowl 57 — quarterback, running back and receivers — we gave you five fun props for the big game and even a few cross-sports prop bets.
Oh, yeah, can’t forget about our traditional bets for Chiefs-Eagles.
So, why stop there? Let’s dive a little deeper into our degenerate bag before kickoff and take a look at some prop bets that can be won with a simple “yes” or “no” answer.
I sorted through a few online sportsbooks to find the 10 I feel best about, and you can find odds and picks for each of those listed below.
1
Will there be a scorigami? (PointsBet)
Yes (+1800) or No (-10000)
I’ll start with the token scorigami question, and I would recommend not even wasting your money on this because the answer is ‘no’ and those odds aren’t worth it. There’s only so many final scores a football game can end in, and the chances of an outlier just aren’t high.
Prince’s pick: Don’t bet it
2
Will the opening kickoff be a touchback? (Caesars)
Yes (-155) or No (+125)
I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually cared to catch the opening kickoff of a game, because it seems like teams just prefer to boot through the end zone these days. Both Harrison Butker and Jake Elliott have touchback percentages over 64%, so I’m guessing that’ll be the case here too.
Prince’s pick: Yes
3
Will the Chiefs convert their 1st third-down attempt? (Caesars)
Yes (+110) or No (-140)
As we all know, team tend to script their first few plays of a game, which increases the likelihood of at least the first set of downs going well. Not to mention, the Chiefs had the second-best third-down percentage in the NFL during the regular season.
Prince’s Pick: Yes
4
Will the team to score the first points win the game? (BetMGM)
Yes (-200) or No (+140)
There’s no way anyone could know this, though good logic says the first team to score would naturally have an advantage. Thus, the better odds. However, I think this game could have a lead change or two, and that gives the last team to score as good a chance to end the game on top. So I’d roll with the better odds.
Prince’s Pick: No
5
Will at least 10 players record a rushing attempt? (Tipico)
Yes (+125) or No (-155)
Let’s start with the regulars here. The Eagles regularly deploy four players who record carries each game, Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. The Chiefs only have three: Patrick Mahomes, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon. So even if wild cards like Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney get a carry, you still need one more player before this prop hits. I don’t like it.
Prince’s Pick: No
6
Will there be a punt downed inside the 5-yard line? (BetMGM)
Yes (+250) or No (-350)
Listen, I’m expecting a lot of punts in this game. The Chiefs, who have a Pro Bowl punter, won’t be able to move the ball against Philly’s defense very easily, and that only increases the importance of them being able to flip the field. And while the Eagles’ offense should have an easier time, when they do punt, it’ll likely be closer to enemy territory. Give me the value.
Prince’s Pick: Yes (+250)
7
Will both teams score 20 or more? (BetMGM)
Yes (-145) or No (+110)
The Eagles will score 20 without a problem. They were the third-highest scoring team in the NFL, and Kansas City’s defense is no juggernaut. If there’s any concern, it’s with the other offense, because Philadelphia’s defense is elite. But Kansas City’s offense is too, all thanks to the man playing quarterback. They were the highest-scoring team in the regular season, so I think they also crack 20 and make this bet a lock.
Prince’s Pick: Yes
8
Will any player score 2+ TDs? (Tipico)
Yes (-185) or No (+140)
Now, I will admit, while I’m not expecting a high-scoring game, there are some enticing two-score candidates if it turns out to be one. The best are Travis Kelce and Jalen Hurts, who each have +500 odds or better to score twice. But in a game I’m picking to fall under the 50.5-point total, the odds don’t favor one player to end up with two touchdowns.
Prince’s Pick: No
9
Will there be three unanswered scores in the game? (Caesars)
Yes (-190) or No (+160)
Three unanswered scores could be three straight field goals, a field goal and two touchdowns, or whatever. But no matter how you slice it, that just doesn’t seem likely to me when you have two of the three highest-scoring teams playing each other. While that certainly means both could get hot enough to do it, it also means the other team can stop it from happening.
Prince’s pick: No
10
Will there be a lead change in the 4th quarter (no OT)? (Caesars)
Yes (+240) or No (-300)
I’m expecting a tight game, so why wouldn’t I expect a lead change in the most pivotal quarter. This might also be a little wishful thinking too, because it would make for the most enjoyable experience.
Prince’s pick: Yes
