Super Bowl 55 Cross-Sport Prop Bets

The entire sports world will be focused on Super Bowl 55 this weekend, but there are still plenty of other sports that will be continuing play.

Does betting on the national anthem not do it for you? Do you use the halftime show as a chance to take a bathroom break and grab some extra food? Will you be watching the NBA or the PGA Tour as a warm-up to the Super Bowl?

If you said yes to any of those questions, then wagering on available cross-sport betting props may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Online sportsbook BetOnline has a wide-ranging list of available betting props that combine the Super Bowl with other events in the sports betting world.

Let’s look at some of those opportunities:

Super Bowl 55 Cross-Sport Bet: Waste Management Phoenix Open

For golf fans out there, you know that Super Bowl weekend means it’s time for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. One of the highlights of the event, outside of its generally stacked field every year, is the 16th hole. It’s notoriously known as the “loudest hole in golf” as the par 3 is usually surrounded by stadium seating and golfers have been known to encourage the noise instead of insisting on silence from the thousands of fans.

While it won’t have the same feel this year with considerably fewer fans or the famous stadium seating, it’s still one of the most fun holes on the tour as well as one of the most enjoyable tournaments overall.

There have been just two holes-in-one at the famous 16th hole over the past 10 years, but there have been a number of holes-in-one on other holes, including the par-3 12th that Webb Simpson aced last year on his way to victory.

If you think Tom Brady will make it through the Super Bowl without throwing an interception, tossing a few bucks on the +550 option will make it a fun weekend.

Super Bowl 55 Cross-Sport Bets: NBA

Once the Super Bowl wraps up, football bettors will migrate en masse to the NBA and college basketball. Well, why not get a start with your NBA betting season by tying it into a bet on the Super Bowl?

Chris Paul and the Suns are scheduled to take on the Celtics on February 7 and sportsbooks are offering odds on whether there’ll be more assists by Chris Paul or carries by Ronald Jones II.

Chris Paul has been averaging 8.7 assists per game in the 2020-21 NBA season. Meanwhile, Ronald Jones II has averaged 13.7 carries per game during the 2020 NFL season. What’s key to keep in mind is that Jones had 13 and 10 carries in his two playoff games while Leonard Fournette has been starting to take the lion’s share of work in the backfield. The Chris Paul assists prop at +110 could be a great bet if the Bucs continue to ride “Playoff Lenny.”

Another NBA crossover bet with the Super Bowl is the number of three-point field goals by the Knicks in their Sunday game vs the Heat compared with Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s carries in Super Bowl 55. The Knicks rank dead last in three-point field goals per game, averaging just 9.5, but that should be more than enough to surpass Edwards-Helaire’s carries. He had just six rushes in the AFC championship game and his health is still in question heading into Super Bowl 55.

Super Bowl 55 Cross-Sport Bets: NHL

Don’t forget about the NHL! Here are some available cross-sport prop bets with NHL games that are set to take place on Super Bowl Sunday:

Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals are scheduled to take on the Flyers on February 7. Ovechkin’s shot output has been down this season, but he’s still averaging 3.2 shots per game. While that may not seem like many, it’s important to note that the Flyers are giving up the third-most shots per 60 minutes of play. Unless you expect Patrick Mahomes to get over four TD passes, Ovechkin is the play at -180.

Another shot total cross-prop is whether Mecole Hardman will get more total yards (rushing + receiving) than the Carolina Hurricanes will have shots on goal. The Hurricanes are fourth in the NHL in shots per 60 minutes at 32.61. Hardman has surpassed this number in both playoff games but he also had a stretch this season from Week 11 to Week 15 when he reached this number just once. With it being a toss-up, the plus-money play might just be the smart one.

What Is A Cross-Sport Prop For Super Bowl 55?

Since the Super Bowl is arguably the pinnacle of competitive sports in North America, sportsbooks naturally like to pair up this betting event with other sporting events/results. The odds listed are similar to any other kind of prop bet; the only difference is you’ll have to pay attention to more than one event to find out if the bet was graded a winner.

Here is how a Super Bowl 55 cross-sport prop should look at an online sportsbook:

In this example, both options have the same payout. These are listed as American odds and each has a minus sign (-) in front of it. This indicates how much a bettor would have to wager to make $100 in profit. If there was a plus sign in front of the odds (+), that’s how much you’d win if you bet $100.

So, if you think the Buccaneers will have more total yards in Super Bowl 55 than the combined number of shots on goal in the NHL on February 7, you would take the Bucs option for the prop. If it’s a successful bet, and you bet $120 on it, you’d get $220 in return. Your original $120 bet is returned along with $100 in profit.

While the sportsbook will grade the bet for you, you can always double-check by adding up the shots in every game in the NHL and compare it with the Bucs’ yards total in the Super Bowl.
