Best Super Bowl 57 player prop bets at FanDuel Sportsbook: Mahomes targets Kelce early and often

Super Bowl 57 is just about here, and FanDuel Sportsbook has tons of great betting markets available for the big game. It’s the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs going up against the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday evening. As the -1.5 point spread in Philadelphia’s favor suggests, this is a tough one to call based on the Super Bowl Odds.

What is not hard to do is identify prop bets that have great betting value. After all, there are more Super Bowl Prop Bets available at FanDuel than there are for any other sporting event in the world. Let’s dive into some of the best props for Chiefs vs Eagles, all of which have the best odds and lines at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Kenneth Gainwell Over 19.5 rushing yards (-110) 

This should be everyone’s best prop bet in Super Bowl 57 – well, it’s mine at least! Gainwell has surpassed this number in 3 straight games, and “surpassed” is a gross understatement. He has obliterated it. The former University of Memphis standout finished the regular season with 35 yards against the Giants, torched the same team for 112 in the Divisional Round and churned out 48 in the NFC Championship. I’m surprised FanDuel has the line as low as 19.5, but it’s something I’m looking to capitalize on.

Gainwell had more carries than both Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts against San Francisco and he had more than Hurts and Boston Scott against the Giants while outgaining Sanders by 22 total yards and 4.0 yards per attempt. Kansas City is allowing an awful 6.0 yards per carry through 2 postseason contests. I expect Gainwell to soar over this quota and we’re getting great odds here from FanDuel.

Travis Kelce Over 6.5 receptions (-145)

Our next best Super Bowl prop bet from FanDuel Sportsbook is on Travis Kelce’s receptions. Kelce has been Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target throughout their careers, and that has especially been the case on the biggest stages. So far in these playoffs, the star tight end has 21 receptions on 25 targets for 176 yards and 3 touchdowns. In last year’s AFC Championship loss to Cincinnati, he caught 10 of 11 targets for 95 yards and a score. Over the last 2 games of the 2020 playoffs, Kelce hauled in a ridiculous 23 of 30 targets for 251 yards and 2 TDs.

The Eagles boast a stellar defense but are nothing special when it comes to defending TEs, so there is no reason to think that they will contain Kelce on Sunday. And with Mecole Hardman sidelined for the Chiefs, the 33-year-old will be even more of a focal point for this offense. With Mahomes’ ankle likely forcing him to throw almost exclusively as opposed to tucking it and running, he should be throwing to Kelce early and often. Even with the juiced odds, I love this prop on FanDuel.

Longest field goal Over 46.5 yards (-125)

To round off our best Super Bowl player props at FanDuel, we’re going with the over on the longest field goal. The main reason being that Harrison Butker is officially back, folks. The Georgia Tech product struggled earlier this season after returning from injury, but he is 5-for-5 on field goals in the playoffs and kicked the game-winner in the AFC Championship. He was 2-for-2 from 50+ yards in the Divisional Round against Jacksonville.

Meanwhile, Jake Elliott is 10-for-10 on his field-goal attempts in Philadelphia’s past 5 games. In the final 3 regular-season outings, his long fields goals were 47, 56 and 54 yards. This isn’t a big number at all, so either Butker or Elliott – and maybe both – should hit this on a normal drive without even requiring any kind of last-second try at the end of a half. I don’t expect this line to stay at 46.5 for long, so I’m looking to play it at FanDuel right now.
