Super Bowl 55: Prop bets pool sheet

Make the Super Bowl 55 experience a bit more interesting with prop bets.

One of the most exciting times of the year is here for NFL football fans, as Super Bowl 55 takes place on Feb. 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, featuring an exciting matchup with guaranteed history written all over it. It’ll be the old guard of quarterbacking against the new, as Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.

The Buccaneers have already made history before the game even starts, as they will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. After staying with the New England Patriots for what felt like forever, quarterback Tom Brady joined Tampa Bay in free agency and has guided the team to the title game. And he’s had plenty of offensive weapons helping him along the way — Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Ronald Jones, Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette. The defense was solid, too, with stars like Devin White, Ndamukong Suh, Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquil Barrett.

This will be the first time in Chiefs history that the team will participate in back-to-back Super Bowls. The Chiefs, coached by Andy Reid, dominated with a 14-2 run in the regular season, clinching the AFC’s No. 1 seed in Week 16. In addition to Mahomes, the team’s first-place offensive ranking was helped by great pass-catching from Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce and benefited from help by rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and midseason pickup Le’Veon Bell. Defensively, the team was led by Tyrann Mathieu, Chris Jones and Frank Clark.
