Super Bowl
LVI “Best Bet” Props
Bettors are
lucky that there are a full two weeks between the conference championships and
the Super Bowl. Given the sheer amount of betting props on the board, it would
take that long just to read through the list.
Working a few of the top online sportsbooks for betting Super Bowl LVI, I stuck
to the basics to come up with four prop bet picks tied to kicking, passing,
receiving and running the ball in Sunday’s big matchup between the Cincinnati
Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams.
Top Super
Bowl LVI Kicking Prop
I like the -120
odds that Cincinnati kicks the first field goal in this game. However, my top
pick zeroed in on the OVER/UNDER on the length of the longest field goal in
Super Bowl LVI.
The yardage has
been set at 47.5 yards with the betting odds favoring the OVER at -125. The
betting odds that the longest field goal in the game stays UNDER 47.5 yards are
set at -105.
Every single
point is going to count in a tight matchup from beginning to end. This is
especially true for the Bengals as underdogs. Cincinnati kicker Evan McPherson routinely
makes field goals from 50 yards out as another big plus for betting the OVER in
this prop.
Top Super
Bowl LVI Passing Prop
The game should
revolve around the play of the quarterbacks. Joe Burrow is playing at a high
level for Cincinnati in just his second season in the NFL. As a weathered
veteran, Matthew Stafford knows that this may be his last chance to win a Super
Bowl title.
With a grocery
list of passing prop bet options, I am keeping things simple with the OVER on
Joe Burrow’s total passing attempts at -115 odds.
The total is
set at 36.5 attempts which happens to mirror his average through three previous
postseason games. Burrow has put the ball up 109 times in those three games and
he has completed 75 of those passes.
On the NFL’s
biggest stage, The Bengals are going to have to lean more heavily on their
passing game to pull off the upset which should translate to more than 36.5
passing attempts.
Top Super Bowl
LVI Receiving Prop
My top prop in
this category is tied more to scoring than catching the ball. Prop odds are
posted for the receivers in this game scoring a touchdown. The Rams’ Cooper Kupp
has -175 odds to score and Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase’s odds are set at +110.
I decided to
stretch the odds a bit and go with the +125 odds that LA wide receiver Odell
Beckham Jr. makes his presence known in this game with a touchdown.
Top Super
Bowl LVI Rushing Prop
Joe Mixon is
the top rusher for Cincinnati in the playoffs with 190 yards on 52 rushing
attempts through three games. The Rams have leaned on Cam Akers through their
three-game run to the Super Bowl. He has gained 151 yards running the ball 54
times.
The big
difference between the two teams is a much heavier reliance on Mixon running
the ball for Cincinnati. He is the team’s running game. LA also has Sony Michel
to take some of the burden off Akers as the primary back.
As far as Super
Bowl rushing props, I will take the -110 odds that Mixon scores a touchdown in
this game. If the Bengals get anywhere near the goal line, you can almost
guarantee that Mixon is getting the call. Although a small play on Burrow’s
+500 odds that he will score a touchdown also makes good betting sense.
