Super Bowl 54: Prop bet pool sheets

The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will collide in Super Bowl 54 at Miami. Props to those who want to put a few dollars down on these bets.

It will be two young quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo go head to head in the first Super Bowl in three seasons that doesn’t Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. For the Chiefs, this is the first time they’be been in the championship game since beating the Vikings in Super Bowl 4, while the 49ers are only seven years removed from their Super Bowl 47 loss to the Ravens.

The Niners will be leaning on their running game and defensive prowess to carrying them as head coach Kyle Shanahan will attempt to contain Patrick Mahomes and the explosive Chiefs offense. It won’t be a cakewalk for Mahomes who will be facing the league’s best pass defense that also includes two premium pass rushers in Joey Bosa and Arik Armstead.

Yes, there will be plenty of money bet on the outcome of the game in terms of the point spread and the over/under (54.5). But what about those prop bets? The staff at OddsShark.com have put together quite the comprehensive list.

So who will be the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl 54? Obviously, Mahomes (+115) is the favorite having torched the Texans and Titans on his way to leading the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl since 1970. It’s also worth noting that a quarterback has been named Super Bowl MVP on 29 occasions. How about Travis Kelce grabbing the honors? In 53 previous Super Bowls, a tight end has never been named the contest’s Most Valuable Player.

Which team will win the coin toss? Will it be heads or tails? What about which team scores first and who scores the first touchdown of the game. But just when you thought those were pretty mundane, there are some fascinating options.

How many times will the broadcast mention how many teams passed on Mahomes? How long will it take for Demi Lovato to sing the U.S. National Anthem? There are even long-range bets asking whether the winning team will eventually visit the White House.
