It is finally that time of year. The NFL season culminates with its extravaganza, Super Bowl 59. The Kansas City Chiefs will have the opportunity to etch their names in the NFL record books by winning an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles will have an opportunity to avenge their Super Bowl 57 loss to the Chiefs.

Our Scores & Stats team has been putting in the time to provide you with the best in Super Bowl predictions, analysis, and more. Bookmark our site and check back throughout the week as we post more Super Bowl content.

As is customary, the list of prop bets is seemingly endless when it comes to the Super Bowl. It’s really where the prop betting markets got their start. Bets such as “Who will win the coin toss?” and “What will be the first song played by the halftime entertainment?” have made betting on the Super Bowl more than just the game itself.

In this post, we will take a look at the top cross sport prop bets that involve Super Bowl 59. Now, if you’re wondering what a cross sport prop bet is, it’s exactly as it sounds. Combine two bets that cross two sports. For example, we might wager on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and on New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson. New York plays the Celtics on Saturday before the Super Bowl. The cross sport prop bet is on which number will be higher – Brunson’s total points and assists or Mahomes’ pass attempts.

Like all bets, there are odds associated with both sides of a cross sport prop bet. You can find odds on these bets as well as NFL odds right here at Scores & Stats. We pride ourselves on providing you with the best in NFL analysis, stats, odds, predictions, and more. Let’s take a look at the best cross sport prop bets for Super Bowl 59.

Super Bowl Cross Sport Prop Bets Predictions

Check out our predictions for the top Super Bowl Cross Sport prop bets:

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Cooper Flagg Points+Rebounds+Assists vs. Clemson (-130)
  • Kareem Hunt-Saquon Barkley Combined Carries (-110)

If you haven’t been following college basketball, Flagg is absolutely incredible. He’s a generational talent much like Luka Doncic (who was just traded from Dallas to the Los Angeles Lakers). Flagg is catching fire late in his freshman season at Duke. He’s averaging 20.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, and 4.2 apg for the season, but lately he has been on fire.

His PRA (points+rebounds+assists) numbers have been through the roof as of late. In his last 8 games, Flagg’s PRA has been at least 34 in all but one game. Even that one was still 26. Flagg against Clemson is likely to see his PRA in the 30s.

Barkley averaged 21.5 carries during the regular season and 22 in the three playoff games. Hunt typically shares some carries, more so than Barkley, and he averaged 15.4 during the regular season. He only carried the ball 25 times in two playoff games for the Chiefs.

Philly will definitely try to establish the run. The Chiefs will throw the ball to establish the run. Hunt and Barkley will likely carry the ball somewhere in the low to mid 30s. Flagg’s PRA will be closer to 40 against Clemson.

Bet: Cooper Flagg Points+Rebounds+Assists vs. Clemson (-130)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Tyrese Maxey Total Points (-170)
  • Patrick Mahomes Completions (+135)

This is the perfect opportunity to jump on an underdog. The Chiefs and Andy Reid love to use the pass to set up the run. If the passing game is working, Reid will just keep going back to it and Mahomes doesn’t miss a lot. Plus, historically in Super Bowls, he’s been money.

Mahomes has completed 26, 26, 21, and 34 passes in his four Super Bowl appearances. Maxey is having a career season for the Sixers. He’s averaging 27.7 points per game, the highest of his career. In an earlier game against the Bucks in January, Maxey put up 37 points. However, in 14 career games against Milwaukee, that game is the outlier.

Maxey has averaged 23.1 points per game against the Bucks in his career. Philly should have Paul George back in the lineup and could have Joel Embiid as well. With Mahomes at plus-money, it’s too hard to pass up.

Bet: Tyrese Maxey Total Points (-170)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo Rebounds+Assists (-140)
  • Jalen Hurts Completions (+100)

It’s no secret that the Eagles base their offense around Saquon Barkley and the run. During the regular season, Hurts averaged 16.5 completions per game. In three playoff games, he’s averaged 16. Is that enough to surpass a superstar on a team competing for an NBA championship?

If you look at Giannis this season, he’s averaging 12.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. That’s a total of 18.1. In the month of January, the Bucks star averaged over 13 rebounds a game and his Rebounds+Assists number was closer to 19. Giannis has had his way with the Sixers throughout his career. In three of his last four games against Philadelphia, he has averaged well Over 20 Rebounds+Assists.

Bet: Giannis Antetokounmpo Rebounds+Assists (-140)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Shortest Super Bowl TD in Yards (-500)
  • Hole in Ones Women’s Phoenix Open (+300)

Even with a team like Philadelphia in the Super Bowl, the shortest touchdown in terms of yards is going to be more than the number of hole in ones in the Women’s Phoenix Open. The tournament begins on Feb. 3 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 9. Over 36 years of this women’s golf tournament, there have only been 11 hole in ones.

In last year’s Super Bowl, the shortest touchdown was a three-yard TD pass from Mahomes to Mecole Hardman. Even if one team scores from the one-yard line, that number is likely to be greater than zero. That’s why the odds on this bet are -500. That equates to implied odds of 83.33 percent. We’ll take the Shortest Super Bowl TD.

Bet: Shortest Super Bowl TD in Yards (-500)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Shots on Goal Utah-Washington (-160)
  • Dallas Goedert Receiving Yards (+120)

This one is a little surprising. Our NHL experts point out that both Utah and Washington are among the bottom 10 teams in shots per game. Both teams average right around 27.5 shots on goal per game. The Capitals, of course, connect on a larger portion of those shots and with guys like Ovechkin, they just don’t need as many shots to win games. Washington is one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference.

The two teams have played once this season. Washington won the game played on Nov. 18, 6-2 on the road at Utah. The game featured a total of 50 shots. That’s right around what our Scores & Stats experts estimate for Super Bowl Sunday’s matchup.

Now, Godert has been the Eagles leading receiver this season despite only playing in 10 regular season games. He averaged 49.6 receiving yards per game during the regular season. However, his performance in the playoffs has spiked. Goedert is averaging 62.6 yards per game as Hurts’ top target in the passing game. At plus money, this makes Goedert the pick.

Bet: Dallas Goedert Receiving Yards (+120)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Jalen Hurts Completions (-140)
  • Alexander Ovechkin Ice Time (+100)

We’ve looked at Hurts’ completion numbers already – 16.5 during the regular season, 16 in the playoffs. We know that Philadelphia relies heavily on the run, which means Hurts is likely to complete fewer than 20 passes in the Super Bowl.

Since Sept. 29, Hurts has completed more than 20 passes in a game just once. He had 25 in a win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 15. He did hit 20 in the NFC championship game victory over Washington.

Ovechkin averages 17:30 of ice time per game this season. In that first game against Utah, Ovechkin scored two goals but only played 14:06. He has only played more than 20:00 a handful of times this season. This might be the closest of all the cross sport prop bets, but there is a reason that Hurts is favored.

The Capitals will head into the All-Star break after this game. That would give Washington plenty of time to rest their star, who is 39 years of age, by the way. Philly will need Hurts to complete more balls to win whereas the Caps won’t need Ovechkin on the ice as much to win this game.

Bet: Jalen Hurts Completions (-140)

Which Will Be Higher?

  • Patrick Mahomes 1H Passing Yards (-140)
  • 2025 Kentucky Derby Winning Time in Seconds (+100)

This is a great cross sports prop, but if you have to be comfortable locking up some of your bankroll until early May. The Kentucky Derby will run on May 3 this year. That’s when you’ll know if you’ve won this bet.

Mahomes hasn’t had outstanding numbers in his playoff games this season. But, as mentioned earlier, he’s got some pretty solid numbers in his four Super Bowls. He threw for 333 yards in last year’s Super Bowl win, though that game did go to overtime. He had 276 and 280 in his first two Super Bowls and his lowest output, 182 passing yards, came against the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

Since 2013, the average winning time of the Kentucky Derby is 2:02.69. In seconds, that puts us at about 123. Will Mahomes hit 123 passing yards in the first half of the Super Bowl? All it would take is one big play, but the way most Super Bowls start, our experts like the Kentucky Derby in this one. Mahomes hasn’t had the big numbers of past years and the Eagles pass defense only allowed 184.9 passing yards per game during the regular season.

Bet: Patrick Mahomes 1H Passing Yards (-140)

What Will Be Higher?

  • Biggest Super Bowl Lead (-120)
  • Cooper Flagg Total Rebounds and Assists in Game (-120)

The biggest lead in the last three Super Bowls has been 10 points. These two teams are likely to feel each other out like they did in Super Bowl 57. The Eagles held a 10-point lead at the half. Our NFL experts would be surprised if either team led by more than 10 points in Super Bowl 59.

Flagg, of course, is probably the best college basketball player in the country. Even as a freshman, he continues to be consistent. He averages 8.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Over his last eight games, all in ACC play, Flagg has recorded fewer than 13 Rebounds+Assists just twice. In a game against Clemson, expect Flagg to be on top of his game. Duke is a contender for the national championship. The Tigers are right behind Duke in the ACC standings.

Bet: Cooper Flagg Total Rebounds and Assists in Game (-120)
