Super Bowl LVIII takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this year. Although the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs should draw plenty of intrigue, bettors have plenty of angles to consider! From scorigami to how long Reba McEntire will sing for, which creative bet will you place?
Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bet #1
| Octopus Will Be Scored | |
| Yes | No |
| +1300 | -4000 |

Both offenses are creative and innovative in getting their playmakers the ball. Therefore, seeing an octopus bet play out is on the board. However, to see this happen, the same player from either team will need to not only score a touchdown but also be the one to convert the ensuing two-point conversion. However, because it is the Super Bowl, expect both playcallers to go all out in giving their team an edge! Jalen Hurts pulled this off the last time it happened. There are realistically two scenarios we see again on Sunday.

Either a team wants to set the tone after an early score or a team is coming from behind (depending on the scoreline situation of course). Realistically, this will either come from Patrick Mahomes or Christian McCaffrey. The Chiefs quarterback can easily scramble and gain two yards. Also, if the 49ers spread out Kansas City’s defense, they could look to use a numbers advantage in the box. Worst case he drags defenders into the endzone on the try. Taking this at +1300 is worth it!
Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bet #2
| Correct Score | |
| Chiefs 17: 49ers 9 | +16000 |
| Chiefs 24: 49ers 28 | +15000 |
| Chiefs 20: 49ers 17 | +8000 |
| Chiefs 27: 49ers 24 | +6000 |

This remains on the riskier side of things. However, there is great value depending on how you see the game playing out. Placing all of your betting eggs in one basket is never recommended, but especially not on this type of wager. Although, finding a score you like, and sprinkling a little on gives you one more avenue to make some bigger winnings.

If you think this will be a shootout, pick a winner and go for the higher scores. But if you think the defenses will win the day, find something similar to the Chiefs 17: 49ers 9 at +16000. Any way you pick it, if it hits, the payout is well worth a little risk!
Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bet #3
| For The Swifties | |
| Fifteen: Mahomes 15+ Rushing Yards and 215+ Passing | -140 |
| Mine: Travis Kelce 87+ Receiving Yards | +190 |
| Anti-Hero: Purdy 250+ Pass Yards & 2+ Pass TDs | +200 |
| I Knew You Were Trouble: CMC 150+ Rush or Rec Yds | +160 |

Regardless of how you feel about Taylor Swift’s presence in NFL discourse, there are plenty of bets to like here! Essentially they had to match her song influences to on-the-field performances. Therefore there are plenty of good opportunities to take advantage of.
Again, this will depend on how you lean in this game. However, depending on which team you think has the edge, there are plenty of valid options in the Sports betting category for the Super Bowl. For example, even if you think the Chiefs will win, “I Knew You Were Trouble” with Christian McCaffrey is something that can easily hit regardless of the outcome.
Super Bowl Prop Bet Predictions
Starting from the top, there are too many chances teams will use to go for two after scoring. Additionally, at +1300 I think it’s something that you have to consider! Especially with Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan, you know they are reserving some trickery for the Super Bowl. Also, going for two could become a thing if one team decides to do it earlier, and the other is forced to “keep up with the Joneses”.
Furthermore, as I outlined earlier, the 49ers covering and going over is how I see this game being played out. Even if you disagree, be sure to match a score that makes sense with your feel of this game as I did. At +15000, 49ers winning 28-24 is too good to pass up on!
Finally, Anti-Hero at +200 seems like a foregone conclusion. Regardless of who wins, the 49ers have plenty of weapons. More importantly, they have some of the best yards-after-the-catch guys in the league. Even if it’s off of short-screen games, or late in the game, Brock Purdy hitting this prop is a good decision to consider.
Final Super Bowl Picks
Octopus at +1300, Chiefs 24: 49ers 28 at +15000 and Anti-Hero at +200
