Loot’s Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets – MyBookie Version

Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets for MyBookie

While some grow impatient with the extra week of wait before the Super Bowl, we find it helps us get organized better with the betting landscape expanding so much at this time of the year. And over the decades, we’ve seen Super Bowl prop betting explode. A few guidelines we like to follow include giving ourselves more license to have a good time with these bets, while also realizing some restraint is needed. That applies both to volume and selection. We don’t want to be one of those guys who is down two grand before the ball is even kicked off because we got hammered on our National Anthem over/unders or called the singer’s shirt color wrong.

We generally prefer to make it about football, unless you’re really playing it for fun and aren’t really serious about betting. If you are, there are enough ways to get weird in a football sense so that you needn’t spray wagers on the non-football side of things. At any rate, when looking at the vast expanse of Super Bowl prop bets on MyBookie, we found a handful of them that we like. Here they are!

Our Top Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets—All Odds by MyBookie

Jauan Jennings Over 15 Receiving Yards (-118): A speculative bet to be sure—Jennings dipped from 61 yards in the divisional round against Green Bay to just 8 yards in the NFC title game against Detroit. But if someone on the SF offense goes down, he’s the main candidate to inherit more touches and if that occurs, this total could be easy pickings. If not, it will likely be a grind, as Jennings is essentially the fifth choice behind Samuel, Aiyuk, Kittle, and McCaffrey. And it’s not like QB Brock Purdy is a 45-50 attempts per game type of guy. Still, something tells me at some point when seeking options, the 49ers get Jennings loose on a play or two and eclipse this total.

Travis Kelce One Touchdown (-114): It’s not going to be a cinch. First off, they’re in a demanding spot against a good San Francisco defense, albeit one that hasn’t been in its best form this postseason. Also, the high stakes mean we could see Mahomes taking more chances with his legs in-close, while also having a pounding back in Isiah Pacheco, a good receiver in Rashee Rice, along with some inconsistent ball-catchers who still have occasional big-play appeal. But shining through of all that is the reliable and familiar figure of Kelce. And not that sentimentality always registers in a game of this nature against an opponent this tough, but with there being some rumors buzzing of Kelce’s retirement, maybe Mahomes looks his way even more than he normally does, which is already a ton. It might be one to stay away from if you’re forecasting a low-scoring game where the TDs will be spread thin or if you just think KC meets their match with this San Fran defense. Otherwise, you’d have to think Kelce getting in the end zone in this game is a pretty decent bet.

Kansas City Leads at Half/SF Wins the Game (+652): This is somewhat of a shot in the dark, as taking one team to lead at the half, only to lose the game has a certain randomness to it. In defense of the bet, however, is the nice return of +652, a figure that seems pretty swollen for projecting this dynamic in what is a close-looking game with a tight spread. The championship games each team played mirrored this result, with the Chiefs off to a fast start, while the Niners worked their way into the game in the second half. Perhaps the Chiefs, with their team knowing how to navigate these Super Bowl waters, comes out a bit looser and gets off to a better start, with the Niners warming up to the occasion later in the game. And if that happens, we’d be sitting pretty with a nice return.

First Touchdown Scored—Brock Purdy (+3000), Marquez Valdez-Scantling (+3000), Elijah Mitchell (+3400): This might be more of a personal thing, as each Super Bowl, I like to go down the list and pick some longer shots to score the game’s first TD. While most years will lead to a swing and a miss, it’s a bet that only needs to deliver once a decade to make up for the losses. With quarterbacks at least slightly more-apt to take risks in the Super Bowl, Brock Purdy running one in isn’t such a pipe dream perhaps, especially at 30/1 odds. The same return can be had on Marquez Valdez-Scantling, the wildly inconsistent and unreliable Chiefs’ receiver who is still a guy that can break loose a big one. If defenders’ attention is elsewhere, seeing MVS making a play for the game’s first TD doesn’t seem so crazy at +3000. And at +3400, Eli Mitchell might not seem like an early-game candidate to hit the end zone. But he sometimes slides in there when you’d think it’d be CMC and 34-to-1 is nothing to sneeze at.

Christian McCaffrey 2+ Touchdowns (+200): Somewhat conflicting with the above-mentioned Eli Mitchell dart-throw is CMC hitting the end zone twice at +200. There are a lot of mouths to feed in this 49ers’ offense, where not everyone is going to have a swelled stat-line. But CMC’s arrival to the Niners came at a great expense and this is where you figure they ride him without reservations. On top of his big-play ability where he can run one in or catch a ball from far out and run it in is his usage in the red-zone, which is immense. He’s such an easy guy to feed either on the ground or through the air and he should see a ton of work in this game. Barring some grinding type affair where the TDs are few and far between, a decent San Francisco point-output makes CMC a nice value to score twice in this spot at the +200 quote.
