Super Bowls are well-known for the variety of awesome prop bets they offer. Super Bowl LV is no different.

Team Guides: Kansas City Chiefs / Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Here’s a six-pack of quality prop bets to take advantage of while you watch Super Bowl LV.

Super Bowl LV MVP Prop

Besides winning the game itself, the Super Bowl MVP is one of the most coveted and revered awards in the NFL. Last year, it was Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes that won it. He is the favorite again at -120. Bucs QB Tom Brady checks in at +225.

Most often, a quarterback wins the award and it’s usually the guy that leads his team to a win. Now, just two seasons ago, New England WR Julian Edelman won the award. With the recent play of Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, one of those two is worth taking the risk.

Hill and Kelce set an NFL record with back-to-back 100-yard-plus receiving games in the playoffs. Last week, Kelce caught a franchise record 13 passes and two touchdowns. Hill is listed at +1000 and Kelce at +1200. Either is worth at least a small wager as they will be Mahomes key targets all game long.

Who MVP Refers to 1st in Speech

After the game, it’s customary to interview the Super Bowl MVP. Beginning with New York Giants QB Phil Simms, there has been mention of “going to Disney World” after the game, but will that be what this year’s MVP says first?

The favorite is that the MVP would mention his teammates. That is listed at +100. A better bet is that the winner gives thanks to God first in his speech. That is listed at +225. A number of MVPs have mentioned God first.

The only other play would be a player that says he couldn’t have done it without the support of his family. This year with all the COVID mess, that might a bet worth making. It’s listed at +900.

Will MVP Mention Disney

Years ago, the phrase “I’m going to Disneyland” was introduced as a company slogan. Simms, who led the Giants to a Super Bowl win in 1987, was paid $75,000 to say “I’m going to Disney World” after being named the game MVP. It has been said ever since.

That’s why at +250 bettors should wager on the MVP mentioning Disney.

Coin Toss

The coin toss is a simple bet. It’s a 50-50 proposition. One or the other and, as a result, there is no clear favorite. Both Heads and Tails are priced at -105. So, why bet on the coin toss?

Because it’s fun, that’s why! Plus, you can almost double your money. A $10 bet will pay $9.52. Since the very first Super Bowl, Tails has come up 29 times and Heads 25. Of note, the winner of the coin toss has won the Super Bowl 24 times. Twelve of those times Heads was the call.

How Many Times “Patriots” Is Said

It’s no secret that Brady played 20 seasons for the New England Patriots. That is going to be mentioned during the game. His six Super Bowl rings as a member of the Patriots will be mentioned. There will no doubt be talk of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

Ultimately, “Patriots” is going to be said a few times during the game. Bettors can get Over 2 times for +115. It’s another special prop bet worth making.

That’s why NFL bettors should wager on Over ½ “Home Field Advantage” being said during the Super Bowl. The bet is listed at -150.
