• There’s a game prop for everything from winning margin to first scoring play and everything else in between
• Read below to find out where we think the betting value lies

The Super Bowl is by far the best day on the sports betting calendar, and this year’s game promises to be a doozy. The reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday (Feb. 7, 6:30 pm EST) in a battle of the new guard led by Patrick Mahomes, versus the old guard captained by the GOAT Tom Brady.

The Chiefs are currently a field goal favorite over the hometown Bucs, but you’d be doing yourself a disservice if that’s the only betting avenue you chose to explore. You can literally bet on everything during the Super Bowl, and often the most beatable lines show up in the game props.

With that in mind, we’ve compiled all of the Touchdown | Score | Gameplay | Kicking | Race to X | Halftime / Full-Time | Winning Margin props for Super Bowl 55 below, and provided our best bets for each category. (See here for our Super Bowl player props.)

Touchdown Props

All odds taken Feb. 2nd from DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM.

There’s no better place than touchdown props to start. While you can find each team’s individual props here, this article will focus on the total amount for the entire game.

Big Plays Are Bound to Happen

Last time they met, the Chiefs and Buccaneers produced a plethora of fireworks. They combined for 960 yards of offense and five touchdowns of at least 20 yards.

Hill reached a top speed of 14.40 MPH within 1-second of the snap, 5th-fastest on a go route this season. Hill is responsible for 3 of the top 5 fastest speeds off the line of scrimmage on go routes this season.#KCvsTB | #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/ZCCnSzhbyG

Of course everyone remembers the 75-yard and 44-yard scores by Tyreek Hill, but the Bucs had multiple 30+ yard touchdowns of their own.

KC’s defense meanwhile, surrendered 54 completions of 20+ yards this season and nine completions of at least 40 yards, something that Tom Brady and company will definitely look to expose. Brady led the league in air yards per attempt during the regular season, which plays right into the hands of Tampa Bay’s big play receivers.

With a game total of 56, oddsmakers expect plenty of touchdowns and both teams have ample amount of explosive playmakers to generate at least one or two long touchdowns to help us hit the over.

Pick: Total Yardage of all TD Over 121.5 (+110)

Score Props

The trendy play when winning the coin toss these days is to defer the ball until the second half. That’s what Kansas City has been doing all season and will likely do on Sunday as well, but what about if the Bucs win the toss?

Buccaneers Strike First

Tampa Bay is one of the few teams that likes to set the tone offensively and could wind up getting the ball first no matter who wins the right to choose. They marched 66 yards on their opening drive in the NFC Championship game for a touchdown, and engineered a 70-yard scoring drive to start their Wild Card game against Washington.

The Chiefs meanwhile, gave up a field goal on the opening possession of the AFC Championship game, and fell behind in all three of their playoff games last season, including the Super Bowl, before rallying back to win.

Pick: Buccaneers to Score First (+100)

Gameplay Props

One of the biggest stories leading into Sunday’s big game is Kansas City’s decimated offensive line. Andy Reid’s bunch is expected to be without its starting right tackle, left tackle and left guard which spells trouble against Tampa Bay’s ferocious defense.

No Shortage of Sacks

The Bucs ranked fourth in sacks and third in QB hits this season and will need to get to Mahomes to have any chance of slowing him down. Just one of the Chiefs projected opening week offensive line starters will suit up for this game, and now one of their centers is being forced to stay away from the team until Saturday thanks to a COVID scare.

Chiefs’ C Daniel Kilgore was mid haircut when the barber was notified that he was Covid positive. Kilgore and the barber both were wearing masks. Kilgore has to stay home this week, but has tested negative and can return Saturday, fly with the team and play Sunday, per source. https://t.co/oWfjJX1qIr

On the other side of the ball, Chris Jones and Frank Clark should have no problems against the Bucs 16th ranked pass blocking unit, setting up the potential for big sack numbers on both sides.

Pick: Over 4.5 Sacks (+110)

Kicking Props

Sunday’s weather forecast in Tampa Bay calls for 40% chance of showers and 14 km/h winds with gusts up to 21 km/h. That’s enough to deter me from betting long field goal props, but that’s not the only reason.

Fade Long Field Goals

Reid and Bruce Arians are two of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL, and both teams have been very successful on 4th downs this season. KC and Tampa Bay are each converting over 62% of the time on 4th down, and in a projected shootout, neither coach is going to want to settle for field goals.

Kicker Ryan Succop says it looks like there could be high winds and some rain on Super Bowl Sunday. "That's just something we'll do our best to be prepared for."

— Scott Smith (@ScottSBucs) February 2, 2021

Harrison Butker has only attempted five field goals longer than 47 yards this season, while Ryan Succop has made only three that have travelled further than that number. I’m betting we don’t see them drill a long field goal on Sunday.

Pick: Total Yards of Longest Made FG Under 47.5 (-130)

First to X Points Props

The Chiefs have scored at least 30 points in every playoff game Patrick Mahomes has started and finished in his career, and there’s little reason to believe they won’t hit 30 points on Sunday.

Chiefs Reach 30 Points First

If you give Reid and Mahomes two weeks to prepare, offensive line issues or not, they’re going to produce points.

Andy Reid on the Chiefs' patchwork offensive line: "We're not the prettiest bunch on the offensive line. But I've got scrappy guys and they'll figure out how to do it well.''

— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) February 3, 2021

The Chiefs are averaging 36.6 points per game in outings following byes in the Mahomes era, including playoffs, and the only reason that number isn’t higher is because the 2018 MVP left the Divisional Round game early last month due to a concussion.

Sure, the offensive line might give up a few sacks, but Mahomes is still going to light up the scoreboard.

Pick: Chiefs First to 30 Points (+120)

Halftime / Full-Time Result Odds

The Chiefs are notorious slow starters in the playoffs. It happened three times last postseason, and again in the AFC Championship game versus Buffalo two weeks ago.

KC Starts Slow Finishes Strong

But just like in their 2019 Super Bowl run, they stormed back against the Bills outscoring them 31-6 over the second and third quarters before ultimately settling for a 38-24 victory.

— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) February 3, 2021

We already detailed why we think the Bucs could jump out to an early lead, and they certainly have the talent on both sides of the ball to hold on until halftime. Can they stay ahead of the defending champs for the entire game? I wouldn’t bet on it.

Pick: Buccaneers-Chiefs Halftime / Full-Time Result (+525)

Winning Margin Odds

Oddsmakers are expecting a close game, but that’s not exactly the Chiefs M.O in the postseason. They’ve won four of their past five playoff games by double-digits, and that number would likely be five-of-five if not for Mahomes’ injury against Cleveland.

In fact, KC has an average margin of victory of 13.2 points in Mahomes’ six career postseason wins, while Tampa Bay has a pair of double-digit losses on their resume this season with Brady under center.

Pick: Chiefs to Win by 13-18 (+650)
