59 Bets for Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles

59 Bets for Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles

It’s finally Super Bowl week! The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are set to square off for the second time in three seasons. The Chiefs took the victory the first time around with a 38-35 win, the first of back-to-back titles. Of course, if they beat the Eagles again, they’ll be the first team to do so in three consecutive seasons. In honor of this being the 59th Super Bowl, we found it fitting to find 59 bets to consider for Super Bowl Sunday. Let’s take a look at 59 bets for Super Bowl LIX.

You can bet on just about anything you want when it comes to the Super Bowl. There are hundreds, even thousands of possible bets to place from novelty props like the coin toss, to Gatorade color, to the Jersey number of the first touchdown scorer. Every player has their own props for rushing, receiving, passing yards, or touchdowns. All sorts of alternative lines, game MVP, game leaders, and much much more! I poured through all the odds I could find and narrowed my list down to 59 of my favorites so here they are.

59 Bets for Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles

Novelty Props

1. Tails (+100)
2. Chiefs Win Toss/Eagles Win Game (+290)
3. Gatorade Color Yellow/Green (+250)
4. Yards Gained on the First Play of Game Under 3.5 (-105)
5. Under 123.5 Second National Anthem (-115)
6. Halftime Show First Song – Squabble Up (+430)

Tails is 30-28 all-time in the Super Bowl and 3-2 over the last five games. Let’s be honest, this is about as 50-50 as you can get, some may say this bet is just the “flip of a coin” but I always ride with “tails never fails”, and this is a great way to cash that first bet of the game.

Bonus bet (since 59 just isn’t enough) Tails/Chiefs Win Toss/Eagles Win Game (+675). The Chiefs will be the visiting team and have selected both head and tails before, so there is no clear advantage in what their call will be. However, the team that has won the toss, has lost the game in five of the last seven Super Bowls. The Chiefs the last two years are the two wins, but this is where the Eagles end this run and get back on track. The Chiefs win the toss, and the Eagles win the game.

Kansas City has used purple the last two years, so if you are a Chiefs backer I’d look more into that color (+175). I’m on the Eagles in this game, they dumped Yellow/Green on Nick Sirianni after the NFC Championship game and that’s the color they had on the sidelines in Super Bowl LVIII. Yellow/Green is also the bath Doug Pederson took in the Eagles’ last Super Bowl win.

When these teams last played in the Super Bowl, both teams started the game off with a run of less than three yards. Either a run or a quick dump pass is the best way to get that first snap out of the way. The anthem number has already been steamed down, but I don’t think enough. There are two times I can find Batiste playing the anthem, both are well short of this including a 93-second version during an NBA event. Give me the under.

When it comes to the halftime show, I’m taking a page out of my buddy Jack’s book. He likes squabble up as the first song based on its upbeat and dance potential. I agree with him, check out the rest of his props here.

First Touchdown of the Game

7. Travis Kelce (+1000)
8. Deandre Hopkins (+3000)
9. DeVonta Smith (+1600)
10. Jahan Dotson (+7000)
11. First Position to Score a Touchdown – Offensive line (+22500)

The way we’ve best found to play the first touchdown market is to take a unit split it into four and get a little coverage. Two on either side is a great balance, and we know both of these teams are very capable of scoring points. Kelce at this number is a no-brainer to me. He was quiet in the AFC Championship game, there’s very little chance he’s quiet in the Super Bowl. Hopkins was brought to Kansas City for this reason. He’s a reliable jump ball catcher and shouldn’t be 30/1.

For the Eagles, keep it simple with DeVonta Smith. Obviously, a lot of their touchdowns come from Saquon and Hurts, but the Chiefs know that too, and Smith has come up huge in the Eagles last Super Bowl, as well as the National Championship game. Dotson is basically the third receiver on the team and is way too high of a price for the player who just scored the first touchdown of their playoff game against the Packers. Then I added the offensive lineman. A $10 bet would pay $2,250.00. We all love it when a big man scores on a trick play, so why not cash a big bet if it hits too?

First Half Bets

12. Eagles Moneyline (+100)
13. Tie (+900)
14. Over 24 (-110)
15. Last Play of the First Half is Quarterback Rush – Yes (+190)

When the first half of the game ends it’s time to check in on these bets! The Eagles were leading at the end of the first half in their last Super Bowl matchup. They like to strike early and quickly. They’ve been the leader at halftime in every playoff game, and 10 straight matchups dating back to November 24th. As well as 12 of their last 13 games.

To that point, if they strike early and often the Chiefs are going to have to match them. Three touchdowns and two field goals and this over hits. Last play of the first half a quarterback rush? If it ends in a kneel, cash it.

Game Leaders

16. Rush Yards – Kareem Hunt (+800)
17. Rush Yards – Jalen Hurts (+850)
18. Receiving Yards – Deandre Hopkins (+3000)
19. Receiving Yard – Saquon Barkley (+10000)

It’s no surprise that Saquon is the favorite for most running yards in the game. At -800 he’s simply unplayable. Hunt is next best though at 8/1. I think he could be the main back for the Chiefs in this game, as Pacheco just hasn’t had the “it” factor since returning from his injury. If Hunt can rip off two long runs and Barkley is held to less than 100 like the Chiefs have done all season, it’s possible.

I added Hurts when it comes to rushing because the Chiefs may put all their focus on Barkley and force Hurts to win this game. He’s an explosive runner, and could easily break some big runs off play action when the defense is queued in on Barkley.

Hopkins in the receiving market is the same reason as the touchdown. His number is too big for a skilled veteran brought in for this exact reason. For Barkley, at 100/1 why not? He’s an explosive playmaker, sure it’s mostly been on the ground, but if the Chiefs are slowing down the run, maybe the Eagles get him the ball in space and he makes things happen that way. Again, it could be two big long plays that win this bet.

Player Props

20. Patrick Mahomes Over 5.5 Rush Attempts (-150)
21.Saquon Barkley Longest Rush 30+ (+115)
22. Travis Kelce Over 62.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
23. Saquon Barkley Over 12.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
24. First Catch of the Game -Saquon (+1200)
25. Jalen Hurts Over 40.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
26. DeVonta Smith Over 51.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
27. Both Quarterbacks to Complete Pass Over 39.5 Yards – Yes (+450)

Hanging Patrick Mahomes at 5.5 rush attempts is practically criminal. Mahomes has crossed this number in five straight playoff games. In his five Super Bowl appearances, he’s hit it in three in a row and four of the last five. Saquon’s longest rush was twice this number in the last two playoff games and nine times this season was over 30 yards.

Kelce has hit the over on this number in 14 of his last 15 playoff games. The one time he didn’t was last week against the Bills, hard to imagine that happens in back-to-back games. Barkley isn’t a big-time receiver, but the Eagles are going to need to get him the ball in space in this game in order to let him use his explosiveness. Outside of Mahomes rush attempts, this is my favorite prop of the game. Hopefully, the Eagles go to him on one of the first plays of the game.

Jalen Hurts can break big runs, and with the focus on Barkley expect them to use some run options to get Hurts some yards. DeVonta Smith is a big game player. In the 2021 National Championship game, he recorded 212 receiving yards and in their first Super Bowl match, Smith had 100 yards in the air.

One big play from each quarterback for +450? Mahomes is loaded with weapons that can break a big one at any moment. The same goes for the Eagles. Each team is going to get their shot in, and at the price, it’s worth rooting for it.

Player Ladder – Saquon Barkley Receiving

28. 25+ (+233)
29. 40+ (+564)
30. 50+ (+800)
31. 5+ Catches (+750)
32. Lead the Game in Receiving Yards (+10000)

As explained above, I love the thought of the Eagles getting Barkley the ball out in space and letting him work. With his explosiveness, it could be one or two plays that climb this ladder. In their first Super Bowl matchup they used Kenny Gainwell this way, getting four catches for 20 yards.

The Chiefs gave up 49 to James Cook in the conference title game, Justice Hill, Jaylen Warren, and Alvin Kamara all managed nice days through the air against the Chiefs. If Barkley can break a play or two, why not lead the game at that massive price?

Multiple Touchdowns

33. Travis Kelce 2+ Touchdowns (+900)
34. DeVonta Smith 2+ Touchdowns (+2100)
35. Patrick Mahomes 2+ Touchdowns (+4000)
36. Jalen Hurts 3+ Touchdowns (+3400)
37. Any QB to Score a Receiving Touchdown (+7000)

This is a fun market for good plus money odds when you want to call your shot on a guy. It’s easy to see these four getting into the end zone 2+ times, and for Hurts maybe a third time. Pick your poison, or bet on all four.

For the quarterback one, ever heard of the “Philly Special?” It would be a great story if either team pulled this play out, and both will have tricks up their sleeves. At 70/1, these are the fun bets to have. They won’t all hit, but hit one and you cash a nice ticket, and have a great story!

Last Touchdown

38. Jalen Hurts (+700)
39. Kareem Hunt (+900)
40. Samaje Perine (+4000)
41. Kenneth Gainwell (+5500)

The last touchdown isn’t too dissimilar to betting on the first touchdown, you just never know which will be the last! My plan is to play two guys who could seal the deal for the team in Hurts and Hunt if it’s a hard-fought game down to the end. Then, two longshot veterans in case one team is up by a lot at the end. Both coaches would like to see these veteran running backs get a Super Bowl touchdown if they are up multiple scores.

Team Props

42. Chiefs Over 24.5 (-110)
43. Eagles Over 31.5 (+240)
44. Eagles Over 1.5 Rush TDs (-110)

It’s an easy case of loving scoring in this game. I think the Chiefs would rather it be low scoring, but have to score to keep up. The Eagles alt over is at a fun number, they just put up 55 in the conference championship game. Has anyone seen the Eagles rush for touchdowns this year? 1.5? At -110 it’s too good to pass up on.

Game Props

45. Both Teams to Have Exactly 1-Yard Touchdown – Yes (+350)
46. First Timeout Chiefs (-110)
47. Any kick to Hit the Uprights – Yes (+550)
48. Both Teams to Score 1+ Rush TD (-145)
49. Distance of Longest Successful FG Over 47.5 Yards (-112)
50. No Score First Six Minutes (-128)
51. Will There be an Octopus – Yes (+1300)

Between the “Tush Push” and pass interference in the end zone, there’s a good chance the ball ends up on the one-yard line for both teams. It’s almost a sure thing the Eagles will get one, can the Chiefs at one at 3.5/1? I’ll take it. Patrick Mahomes seems quicker to pull the timeout trigger if he sees something he doesn’t like, for that reason give me the Chiefs to call the first timeout.

How often do we see a kick hit the uprights in a close game with a lot of pressure? Sometimes it even goes in. At the number, it’s another fun one to take. See the above comments for the 1-yard touchdown and add rushing touchdowns can be anywhere for both teams. Both teams have great kickers, and every point is going to matter. One kicker if not both nails a 48-yarder to cash this.

While I do see a high-scoring game, I think it starts slow with the teams feeling each other out, especially if KC starts with the ball. An “Octopus” is when a player scores both a touchdown and a two-point conversion. At 13/1, I’m mostly rooting for the guy in the tweet below to lose for making such a dumb bet.

Game Lines

52. Eagles +1.5 (-105)
53. Over 48.5 (-106)
54. Eagles -6.5 (+262)
55. Exact Score Eagles 38 Chiefs 35 (+40000)

I’ve been writing about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl since June when I gave them out at 17/1. This has felt like their year since last year’s Super Bowl hangover collapse. They almost beat the Chiefs two years ago, and if it wasn’t for field conditions, they might have. Now they’ve added Saquon Barkley and the team is even more experienced. They’ve been there and know what it takes, they get it done this time.

I also think them winning by a single touchdown isn’t crazy, so I like the alternate spread at the number. The over was the first bet I placed last Sunday as soon as it came out. The Eagles are just too explosive and the Chiefs are going to match their energy. They combined for 73 in their last Super Bowl, 49 should be pretty easy to hit.

Exact score, at this price why not flip the last Super Bowl score? Exact scores have huge prices to win, so I’d suggest throwing a few darts and hoping you get lucky!

Super Bowl MVP

56. Saquon Barkley (+280)
57. Travis Kelce (+1800)
58. DeVonta Smith (+5000)
59. Dallas Goedert (+8000)

This is another market where you can split up your unit or two as you see fit. For me, if the Eagles win, which is what I believe will happen it’s likely on the legs of Saquon Barkley. So he gets the biggest bet of the MVP’s.

If the Chiefs do win, it’s probably going to Mahomes but he’s not worth betting. What if Kelce catches 2 to 3 touchdowns and has a heck of a day, he’s the one guy who could steal it from Patrick. His number is way too big.

If the Eagles win, maybe it’s on a big day from DeVonta Smith, who showed up big in the Alabama championship game in college and had a 100-yard day the last time they played in the Super Bowl. Dallas Goedert is another one who could have a big day and steal the award for the Eagles, at 80/1 it’s worth a sprinkle.
