Best Super Bowl Prop Bets

Super Bowl Sunday is the best day on the NFL calendar. Not only does it pit the best vs. the best, but there's so much fun to be had with Super Bowl betting and this years' matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII is certainly no exception.

Super Bowls are known for their famous prop bets. Most sportsbooks offer anything from the almost certain to the downright silly. You can bet on the length of the national anthem, all the way to the likelihood of a safety.

Before we get into it, let's just remind ourselves about how to read NFL betting odds.

• If a team has a -200 moneyline, it means you need to wager $200 in order to win $100 ($300 payout).

• A -150 moneyline, you say? You'd need to wager $150 to win $100 ($250 payout/total). If you wagered $75 on -150, you'd win $50.

• If a team has a "+" moneyline, the goalposts shift. The + tells us how much you would win betting $100, if you win of course.

• For example, a +150 moneyline would mean – if successful – a profit of $150 ($250 payout). If a team had a +185 moneyline, you would make $185 profit – $285 total – when betting $100.

Okay, now that we understand odds, we can get right into prop bets. If you want to know more about prop bets and Super Bowl trends, don't sweat.

Super Bowl MVP

The most prestigious prop bet, well, for players anyway, has to be the Super Bowl MVP. Traditionally, Super Bowl MVP winners come from the victorious team and almost as frequently, their quarterback – see Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIV, or Tom Brady in Super Bowl LV.

Of the 13 MVPs from 2010 until 2022, all were from the winning team. Unsurprisingly, too, nine of those 13 were quarterbacks. However, two LBs – Von Miller and Malcolm Smith – have come up big. While Cooper Kupp (2021) and Julian Edelman were the other outliers, the WRs starring for the Los Angeles Rams and New England, respectively, in their Super Bowl wins. Check out the Patriots' huge Super Bowl upset win over LA in February 2019.
