Bovada Super Bowl LVIII Props – Best Bets

Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets for Bovada

The prop betting market come Super Bowl time can really get your head spinning. On one hand, it’s great to see the bets expand so greatly over the years to the point where if your mind can conceive it, there’s probably a line on it. Still, even with the extra week to mull things over, it’s a lot to process. This is also a time where we don’t want to let the betting monster within us to run amok. The Super Bowl betting landscape is really a great playground for the degenerate part of us that lies right underneath the surface. So, we want to remind ourselves to not give license to become unhinged.

At the same time, even for those conservative bettors who usually stick to the utter basics, a well-placed handful of Super Bowl prop bets is certainly suitable for a game of this magnitude. And we prefer sticking to the wagers that revolve around football, as opposed to betting on the outfit color of a halftime performer or whether the announcer utters a certain word so many times. And when looking at the prop bets Bovada put on the table for this Super Bowl, we think we honed in on some decent ones. Here they are!

Our Top Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets—(All Odds by Bovada)

Brock Purdy Super Bowl LVIII MVP (+225): In his favor is that ten quarterbacks have been chosen as the Super Bowl MVP since 2010. Being on the team that is favored to win at a position that predominately gets picked at +225 gives it some good value appeal at the very least. And despite being on a top-seeded team and one that is favored to win the Super Bowl, having been the last pick in the draft and ascending to this position in just a few years might tug at the sentimentality of voters. One might worry about other standout performers on the Niners becoming better candidates if the Niners win, namely Christian McCaffrey and others, as well. But if those guys thrive, that means Purdy did as well and he should stand out as a compelling choice if the 49ers manage to pull out this one.

Isiah Pacheco Over 70.5 Rushing Yards (-115): It’s probably not the best matchup in the world, going against a strong San Fran defense. It was hard to not notice, however, how easy Detroit was having it on the ground, at least in the early going of their loss to the Niners in the NFC title game. Kansas City lacks that same diversity on the ground, with Pacheco being their only real route to any real rushing success. Also, we see Mahomes running a little more in this postseason, along with Clyde Edwards-Helaire getting the occasional carry, which can cut into Pacheco’s workload. Still, with the Chiefs having a reduced scope of productivity, Pacheco will be a guy who gets a lot of work and I think 71 yards is more likely to happen than it isn’t.

Marquez Valdez-Scantling Over 23.5 Receiving Yards (+130): Even with Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs’ offense having taken a more-subdued approach aerially this postseason, we still see Valdez-Scantling figuring more into a Kansas City offensive plan starved for aerial threats. Prop bets on MVS can end up falling really flat, as those unfortunate enough to do so this season may well know. But let’s say the Chiefs have to play catch-up at some point during this game, being one of the few guys who can create some separation might go a long way. Whether he can make the play is another matter. At any rate, I’d tend to think at the +130 tag, he’s a good bet to get at least 24 yards through the air.

Will Points Be Scored in the Final Two Minutes of the First Half—No (+245): We’ve seen it all too often—a team looking to end the half on a positive note, loosening things up a bit, while the defense trying to avoid a big play gives up a bunch of chunks, leading to the late-half score. But with two solid defenses, we could just as easily see a drive die late in the first half, leading to a punt and the clock running out, as we get ready for the halftime show. And at a robust +245, the reward seems decent for being able to call this one right.

Brock Purdy 255+ Passing Yards, Deebo Samuel 6+ Receptions, Brandon Aiyuk 70+ Receiving Yards, SF Wins (+1100): This is a toughie, asking for four separate things to occur. When you can get one, that’s a win. Asking for four might qualify as a bit too whimsical of a wager. Still, all elements of this wager are connected. If Brock Purdy throws for over 255 yards, Aiyuk and Samuel are key candidates to receive those targets. There is still George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and others. But a good aerial day from both receivers would seem to set up decently for a 49ers’ win. Still, if you’re fortunate enough to get production from both Aiyuk and Samuel, there’s nothing that says it has to result in 7 receptions for Deebo or 70 yards for Aiyuk. They could both make their mark on this game and not reach those totals. Or if it’s a little more of a shootout, they still have to beat the defending Super Bowl Champions. Nevertheless, at +1100, I think it has some upside.
