I can\u2019t recall which team I backed in the 2018 Super Bowl, but I\u2019ll always remember giving Post readers the first touchdown scorer (Alshon Jeffrey, 12\/1). I recall almost nothing from the next Super Bowl, but I\u2019ll never forget hitting on MVP Julian Edelman (18\/1). I draw blanks on my own birthdays, but the feeling of watching Rob Gronkowski (18\/1) and Odell Beckham Jr. (+900) cash our first touchdown tickets will never fade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know who will win this year\u2019s Super Bowl. I don\u2019t even know how long I\u2019ll remember the game\u2019s details \u2014 unless we hit another home run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here is a breakdown of some of the most intriguing prop bets in this year\u2019s big game (prices vary by sportsbook):\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kickoff\u00a0<\/p>\n
National anthem Over 120.5 seconds (-142): The over has hit four straight times, including the past two performances with an over\/under of at least 119 seconds. NOLA native Jon Batiste won\u2019t rush his rendition, potentially stretching out the song instrumentally (-400 to play piano. Seriously.).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coin toss (-102): Heads took three of the past four meetings. Tails will respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What will happen first: A touchdown (-150) or Taylor Swift live shot (+110):\u00a0Swift was shown 11 times during last year\u2019s Super Bowl. The biggest TV audience of the year shouldn\u2019t wait long to see the most famous celebrity in attendance. Plus, who knows how long it will take a team to reach the end zone?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scoring\u00a0<\/p>\n
First quarter ends 0-0 (+900): Teams often start slow on the big stage. Since 2001, 21 teams haven\u2019t scored in the first quarter, with four of the past 10 Super Bowls scoreless after 15 minutes, including last year. Less risky options include no points through 10 minutes (+360) and Under 9.5 first-quarter points (-108).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kareem Hunt touchdown (+145): Hunt has become the go-to back, scoring in four straight games. Add a lower-unit first touchdown bet (+950).\u00a0<\/p>\n
DeVonta Smith touchdown (+230): An uninspiring postseason offers value for the receiver who led the Eagles in touchdowns (eight). Plus, a first touchdown sprinkle (17\/1).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah Gray touchdown (+550): Kansas City\u2019s No. 2 tight end quietly posted the second-most receiving touchdowns (five) on the team \u2014 more than Travis Kelce. Plus, a first touchdown sprinkle (30\/1).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts two touchdowns (+550): The Saquon Barkley tax (+280 for two touchdowns) is outrageous since Hurts has played two fewer games and recorded the same number of rushing scores (18). Hurts was back to full health in the NFC Championship, scoring three times. He also had two rushing touchdowns against the Chiefs last season and three in the Super Bowl two years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Each team scores one rushing and one passing touchdown (+210), each team scores one touchdown and one field goal in each half (14\/1), each team scores two rushing touchdowns and two field goals (48\/1): Another shootout isn\u2019t necessary to raise the ceiling as a spectator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake Elliott Over 6.5 points (-130): The Eagles kicker has struggled, but he has recorded at least seven points in seven straight games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Passing\/Rushing\/Receiving\/Misc.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No interceptions (+200): Hurts and Mahomes haven\u2019t thrown a pick since November and have combined for only one in their past 16 postseason games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mahomes 25+ passing yards every quarter (-130): He\u2019s very good. And he doesn\u2019t even have to be to hit this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mahomes or Hurts to have a run of at least 25 yards (+440), Mahomes and Hurts to rush for 5 yards each quarter (60\/1): Both quarterbacks had a run of 25-plus yards in their most recent Super Bowl matchup. Mahomes averages 43 rushing yards per Super Bowl. Hurts averages 42 rushing yards per game this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mahomes Over 6.5 rushing attempts (+110): Andy Reid takes the bubble wrap off in the postseason. Mahomes has 27 carries in his past three postseason games and has averaged 7.25 per Super Bowl. Kneel downs count, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saquon Barkley longest rush Under 25.5 yards (-110): It\u2019s a scary proposition, but the Chiefs allowed only three running backs to break this mark this season and have allowed only two such postseason runs during the Mahomes era.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saquon Barkley\/Kareem Hunt rush for 5 yards every quarter (+450): Hunt received 17 carries in the AFC Championship \u2014 for 64 yards, with at least five each quarter \u2014 the most since Isiah Pacheco returned from injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier Worthy first to 10 rushing yards (25\/1), Kareem Hunt first to 20 rushing yards (+450): In a perfect world, we hit a grand slam, then a solo shot. In another world, Barkley gets the ball first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dallas Goedert Over 4.5 receptions (-130): The Chiefs surrendered the most catches to tight ends this season. Goedert averages 5.25 receptions in eight postseason games with Hurts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most receiving yards: DeVonta Smith (+650), Dallas Goedert (+850): Mahomes\u2019 tendency to spread targets puts an Eagle in strong position to take the honor. If All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie contains A.J. Brown, Goedert or Smith will benefit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eagles first half\/Chiefs win (+700) or first half tie\/Chiefs win (20\/1): The Chiefs are playing, so it will be a close game, and therefore hold the edge, winning an NFL-record 17 straight one-possession games. KC has never led at halftime in four Super Bowl appearances in the Mahomes era.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gatorade bath color: Orange (+500): The popular money is on purple (+225), the color dumped on Reid the past two seasons. Orange is the sleeper, the most-used flavor of the past 15 Super Bowls, including Mahomes\u2019 first title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Betting on the NFL? <\/p>\n
Super Bowl MVP\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts (+380): The quarterback of the underdog is a personal favorite, hitting four of the past seven years. Hurts nearly won two years ago, putting up 374 total yards and four touchdowns. Barkley\u2019s all-time season has made him the Philly favorite, but no running back has won the award this century, and the Chiefs haven\u2019t allowed 100 rushing yards to the position this season. Barkley entered the divisional round without a touchdown in four of five games and could see Hurts vulture more scores via the tush push. You may never see odds like this for a quarterback in a coin-flip game again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier Worthy (30\/1): You\u2019re better off with the Chiefs money line (-115) than Mahomes (+120). Tom Brady and Joe Montana didn\u2019t always win MVP, each helping receivers win the award. Wide receivers have won it two of the past six years and the Chiefs have made it a priority to give the rookie speedster more touches. Worthy led the Chiefs in receiving touchdowns in the regular season and has led the team in receptions and receiving yards in the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
