Super Bowl 54 Game Props

Super Bowl 54 is almost here, and as the biggest sporting event in North America, there’s never any shortage of betting opportunities for the big game. With the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs set to duke it out at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, on February 2, sportsbooks have released a litany of alternative betting props if you’re looking for something outside of sides and totals.

Bovada is offering a wide variety of in-game prop specials for the game that I’ve highlighted below. As of February 1, the Chiefs are holding steady as 1.5-point favorites with a total of 54.5. Looking for a full betting preview? Ryan Fowler has you covered.

Touchdown Props

Game Props

When it comes to game props for Super Bowl 54, Bovada is offering significantly more than for normal games. For instance, unique prop specials such as “Will there be a horse-collar tackle penalty called?” have hit the board, with the odds of that happening at +550.

Do you think you know what’s going to happen on the first scoring play of the game? Betting on the outcome of the first score can provide significant value, especially if you’re going off the board and banking on a safety for either team (available for +5000 odds).

As crazy as that sounds, we saw it happen in Super Bowl 48 when Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning missed a snap that sailed into the end zone for a Seattle Seahawks safety. The chance of there being a safety in Super Bowl 54 is sitting at a price of +600.

Score Props

Scoring props are a fun way to get some action on the big game in a truly unique fashion. If you’re expecting to see a blowout, you have the option of betting on the margin of victory to find value.

For instance, in the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory over Denver in Super Bowl 48, the 35-point differential stands as the largest margin of victory for an underdog and is tied for the third-largest point differential in Super Bowl history.

If you think either the Chiefs or 49ers will win every quarter in Super Bowl 54, you can wager on Kansas City to accomplish the feat at +700 and San Francisco at +800 (we're referencing Bovada's odds). The highest-scoring quarter is especially intriguing, with the first quarter listed at +500, the second at +185, the third at +400 and the fourth at +215.

Defense/Special Teams Props

Defense/special teams props won’t rank high in terms of popularity for Super Bowl bets, but it’s worthwhile to note that there have only been 10 successful two-point conversion attempts in Super Bowl history. The Patriots have three of them, but didn’t attempt one in last year’s 13-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53.

If you think we’re going to see No. 11 happen on February 2 in Miami, jump on it at the +220 price.
