It wasn’t that long ago the National Football League, and every other major professional sport, wanted nothing to do with Las Vegas. The city’s connection to organized crime and gambling was thought to have a negative effect on the sport thus damaging its integrity and credibility. Welp, times change and if you don’t change with them you’ll be left behind. The NFL adapted with one of its members relocating to one of the fastest growing markets in the country and on Sunday, February 11, the league’s showcase event will take place at new Allegiant Stadium when the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers battle in Super Bowl LVIII. The Super Bowl isn’t just a game to determine the NFL champion. Not even close. It’s an experience that lasts the entire day. And to make things more interesting and to liven up the game even more, sportsbooks go all out with an insane market of thousands of propositional bets.
You don’t have to be a football fan to guess whether or not the coin toss will land on heads or tails. But you can place a wager on it. The halftime show has become a bigger deal than the game itself, and because of that there are a number of prop bets available for intermission activities. And let’s not forget why we are here, there is a game taking place between two of the best teams in the NFL. And that’s where the betting really takes place with billions of dollars wagered on which team wins as well as the performance of certain players. Welcome to the world of Super Bowl props.
Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will air live on Sunday, February 11, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. ET from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. The game will be televised on CBS.

Super Bowl LVIII Prop Bets Odds at BookMaker.eu
Prop bets can and do include pretty much everything. Game, team and player props are always fun, but if you have zero interest in who’s on the field or the outcome, what else is there? Plenty actually, and even more now that Travis Kelce is tapping the biggest pop star on the planet so you can bet an entire Taylor Swift market. That’s a separate prop bet category and one that will be discussed in another article, so let’s stick to the basics here. Player props are all about numbers so it’s only fitting that skill positions on offense get most of the attention. And since the quarterbacks handle the football on nearly every play, they are the ones getting plenty of action. Between them, Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy have thrown for 9,700 yards and 64 touchdowns. However, football is a team game and instead of looking at quarterback props let’s look at other options where money can be made.
Isiah Pacheco Total Rushing Yards
Over 65.5 ( -120 )
Under 65.5 ( -110 )
Just like any other bet you can find wagers and odds more to your liking if you shop around. I backed Pacheco going over his rushing yard total in last year’s Super Bowl and he paid off so I’m going back to him. The number is higher but the Niners had difficulty stopping the run in their two playoff games allowing Aaron Jones to run for 108 yards in the Divisional Round with David Montgomery going for 93 in the NFC title game. The Chiefs have been more aggressive running the football with Pacheco the NFL’s postseason rushing leader surpassing his projected total of 65 in all three games.
Prediction: OVER 65.5 ( -120 )
Three Straight Scores by Either Team?
Yes ( -165 )
No ( +135 )
This is an interesting prop especially when two good teams are going after it and you don’t expect one club to reel off three successive scores. The 49ers had a run of five consecutive scores in their NFC Championship win over Detroit, but got plenty of help when the Lions failed on two fourth downs and committed a turnover. I don’t think Kansas City, or SF for that matter, will be that careless with the football. In last year’s tightly contested Super Bowl win neither the Chiefs nor Eagles scored three straight times and this one has a chance to be very similar. If anything the game will have fewer points with two strong defensive clubs, giving the teams fewer chances to score points in bunches.
Prediction: NO ( +135 )
