Vegas leaves no betting stone unturned when it comes to Super Bowl 53.
A recent ESPN story said that in just the United States, there would be no less than $6 billion to be bet on Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta.
One of the more creative sections of action are the cross sports Super Bowl props, taking sports action going on in-and-around the weekend and comparing it to the big game.
Let’s have a run through some of the action, and where you may decide to live a little and join in on the betting party.
Super Bowl 53 vs NBA props
New York Knicks Win Total vs Tom Brady Completions
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Knicks 2019 Win Total | +170 |
Tom Brady Completions in Super Bowl 53 | -250 |
*All odds taken 1/30
The Knicks are losing the right way for the first time in a long time. They are dead last in the NBA at 10-39, riding a 10-game losing streak.
Here are some interesting Super Bowl records that Tom Brady holds according to Pro Football Reference:
Career Pass Attempts – 357
Most Pass Attempts without an INT – 48
Most Consecutive Completions in a Single Game – 16
Career Passing Yards – 2,576— Moody (@EricNMoody) January 28, 2019
It’s their ultimate “Tryin’ for Zion”, and you’d be hard pressed to think they’d come close to matching their preseason predictions of around 30 wins.
Pick: Brady Completions (-250)
James Harden Points vs Tom Brady Pass Attempts
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
James Harden Points vs Jazz (Feb 2) | -120 |
Tom Brady Pass Attempts in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
James Harden finishes January averaging 43.6 PPG.
That's the most by any player since Wilt Chamberlain averaged 45.8 PPG in March of 1963. (via @EliasSports) #SCFacts pic.twitter.com/1uNJOMSqm3
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) January 30, 2019
In his last eight playoff games, Brady is averaging 46.4 attempts per game. James Harden has been averaging 45.4 points in his last 10 games. Even against an improved Utah defense, go with Harden’s volatility.
Pick: Harden Points (-120)
James Harden Points vs Jared Goff Pass Attempts
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
James Harden Points vs Jazz (Feb 2) | -120 |
Jared Goff Pass Attempts in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
Read above. Goff has only attempted 40 or more passes in a game five times this season.
Pick: Harden Points (-120)
Kyrie Irving Points vs Rex Burkhead Rush Yards
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Kyrie Irving Points vs Thunder (Feb 3) | -120 |
Rex Burkhead Rush Yards in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
Since rejoining the team in Week 13 from injury, Burkhead’s high was 41 yards rushing in the AFC title game against the Chiefs.

He’s averaged just under 22 yards a game in seven weeks. Kyrie Irving is averaging a shade under 24 points a game.
Pick: Kyrie Points (-120)
Kyrie Irving Assists vs James White Receptions
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Kyrie Irving Assists vs Thunder (Feb 3) | -120 |
James White Receptions in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
https://twitter.com/barstooltweetss/status/1087143893718700032
Kyrie is averaging 6.9 assists per game this season, but he has had 10 or more dimes in four of his last five games. Still, White should be heavily involved in the pass game, trying to alleviate that Rams front four rush.
Pick: White Receptions (-120)
Paul George 3pt Made vs Todd Gurley Receptions
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Paul George Made Three-Point FGs vs Celtics (Feb 3) | -120 |
Todd Gurley Receptions in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
As they streaked out to start the year, Gurley averaged better than four receptions a game through the first nine weeks of the season. He’s cooled off since. Save a 10-catch performance against the Eagles in Week 15, he’s averaged just over two catches a game in his last seven weeks.

— OKC THUNDER (@okcthunder) January 30, 2019
By comparison, George has hit at least three triples a game in 11 of his last 14 contests.
Pick: George 3pt Makes (-120)
Russell Westbrook Pts, Reb & Ast vs CJ Anderson Rush Yards
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Russell Westbrook Pts/Reb/Ast vs Celtics (Feb 3) | -140 |
CJ Anderson Rush Yards in Super Bowl 53 | +100 |
Even if Westbrook puts forward a monster triple-double like he had Tuesday night against the Magic – dropping 23 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists, that’s still just 53 yards.
10 carries
65 yards

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) January 13, 2019
If the Rams do intend to balance the run game with the pass game, that’s a number that Anderson should challenge and top.
Pick: Anderson Rush Yards (+100)
Steph Curry 3pt Made vs Brandin Cooks Receptions
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Steph Curry Made Three-Point FGs vs Lakers (Feb 2) | -120 |
Brandin Cooks Receptions in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
Cooks’ 7-catch performance in the NFC title game was his best output since 8 catches in Week 11 against the Saints. In between, he’s averaged just over four receptions a game.
Steph Curry's range is anywhere on the floor 🔥 pic.twitter.com/lXhXBfrJGI
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) January 29, 2019
Curry can explode at any moment. After posting at least eight three-point makes in three straight games (an NBA record), he had just seven in his next three games. He’s now hit six in back-to-back contests. I’ll say he stays hot.
Pick: Curry 3pt Makes (-120)
Tobias Harris Points vs Longest Run
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Tobias Harris Points vs Raptors (Feb 3) | +150 |
Longest Rush in Super Bowl 53 | -200 |
Harris’ high this season is 39. I suspect explosive plays in the Super Bowl will top that, and Harris won’t come close to that season-high number either.
Pick: Longest Run (-200)
Super Bowl 53 vs NHL Props
Montreal Canadiens Goals/Super Bowl Turnovers
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Canadiens Goals vs Oilers (Feb 3) | -150 |
Total Turnovers in Super Bowl 53 | +110 |
In the last four Super Bowls, there have been at least two turnovers in each game, including three in Super Bowl 51, six in Super Bowl 50, and three in Super Bowl 49.

— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) January 24, 2019
The Canadiens are averaging better than three goals a game in their last six, and they are playing a struggling team in the Oilers, who have lost three in a row, surrendering 15 goals in those games.
Pick: Canadiens Goals (-150)
Bruins Goals/Stephen Gostkowski FGs
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Bruins Goals vs Capitals (Feb 3) | -150 |
Stephen Gostkowski Made Field Goals in Super Bowl 53 | +110 |
🚨GOAL!🚨
The most David Pastrnak goal ever. Bruins take the lead

— Boston Bruins on CLNS (@BruinsCLNS) January 30, 2019
I don’t suspect Gostkowski will be called on for more than two field goal attempts, as touchdowns are going to be needed to win a Super Bowl shootout. Boston’s opponent, the Capitals, have allowed 21 goals in their last three games.
Pick: Bruins Goals (-150)
Connor McDavid Goals/Rob Gronkowski TDs
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
McDavid Goals vs Canadiens (Feb 3) | -120 |
Rob Gronkowski Touchdowns in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
SO. CLUTCH. @RobGronkowski + @Edelman11 came up big in the AFC Championship Game! 🙌 #EverythingWeGot pic.twitter.com/YTXqLwpjOu
— NFL (@NFL) January 21, 2019
Did I mention the Oilers were struggling? Ditto McDavid, who’s goal-less in his last three games. Gronk should be in many favorable matchups, and this may be his last shot at showcasing what made him the best tight end of his generation, and possibly ever.
Pick: Gronkowski Touchdowns (-120)
Super Bowl 53 vs MLB Props
Manny Machado Contract vs Jared Goff Passing Yards
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Manny Machado Next Contract (Millions) | -120 |
Jared Goff Passing Yards in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
Look, there’s literally no one willing to throw Machado a $300-million deal, as baseball deals with its own free agency issues. Goff threw for 297 yards in the NFC Championship, and he’ll need even more to take down the Patriots.
Pick: Goff Passing Yards (-120)
New England Patriots Points vs Red Sox World Series Runs
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Patriots Total Points in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |
Total Red Sox World Series Runs 2018 (28) | -120 |
Put it this way: if the Patriots score 28 points, it’s a lopsided Rams win.
Pick: Patriots Total Points (-120)
Super Bowl 53 vs PGA props
Tiger Woods 1st Round Masters vs Todd Gurley Rush Yards
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Tiger Woods 1st Round Score at Masters | -120 |
Todd Gurley Rush Yards in Super Bowl 53 | -120 |

— CBS Sports Network (@CBSSportsNet) January 30, 2019
Gurley hasn’t been his dominant self since a knee injury late in the season had them sign CJ Anderson off the street. If this were total yards, I think he crushes Tiger’s score, but I don’t think he’s breaking 75 yards. Neither is Tiger.
Pick: Tiger 1st Round Score (-120)
Super Bowl 53 vs College Basketball Props
Villanova Points vs Rams Leading Yards Receiver
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Villanova Team Points vs Georgetown (Feb 3) | -110 |
Rams Receiving Yards Leader in Super Bowl 53 | -130 |
Cooks’ 100-yard receiving day was the first for the Rams since Week 11. Villanova hasn’t cracked 100 points since Big East conference play began, topping out at 90 points.
Pick: Rams Receiving Yards Leader (-130)
Just when you thought the Rams couldn't be any more unstoppable…
Enter Brandin Cooks

Purdue Points vs Sony Michel Rush Yards
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Purdue Points vs Minnesota (Feb 2) | -115 |
Sony Michel Rush Yards in Super Bowl 53 | -115 |
Sony Michel has emerged as the featured back for the Patriots during the playoffs, running for more than 100 yards and better than 24 totes in their two wins.
https://twitter.com/Patriots/status/1084521270237003776
Purdue hasn’t scored better than 89 points in their current five-game win streak.
Pick: Michel Rush Yards (-115)
Super Bowl 53 vs Soccer Props
Man U Goals vs Tom Brady TD Passes
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Man United Total Goals vs Leicester City (Feb 3) | +120 |
Tom Brady Touchdown Passes in Super Bowl 53 | -150 |
Man U has averaged two goals a game in their last five games, while Brady has thrown just a TD pass each game in these playoffs. Still, Brady hasn’t tossed for less than two TDs in a Super Bowl since 2012 against the Giants.
Pick: Brady Touchdown passes (-150)
All 18 TD passes from Tom Brady's eight @SuperBowl appearances!

Real Madrid Goals vs Tom Brady Rush Attempts
What Will be Higher? | Odds |
---|---|
Real Madrid Total Goals vs Alaves (Feb 3) | -125 |
Tom Brady Rush Attempts in Super Bowl 53 | -105 |
In their last match against Alaves, Real Madrid was blanked 1-0. In their prior head-to-head, it was a 4-0 Real Madrid win. Brady had two rush attempts against the Chiefs in the AFC title game, but he’ll only likely be needing one here – a kneel down, if it all goes to plan.
Pick: Real Madrid Goals (-125)
