ThatGuyBets’ best Super Bowl 59 player prop bets
Saquon Barkley (PHI) first touchdown to be a rush (-140)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
This is a new market exclusive for the Super Bowl, but I like it. Essentially, we need Saquon’s first touchdown to be a rush and not a catch. If he doesn’t score at all then we lose. This is a nice way to pay less juice on Saquon’s regular anytime touchdown line of -190. Kansas City admittedly has a great run defense, but Barkley is the best of the best. Saquon will be playing in the big game on his birthday and it feels written in the stars for him to find the end zone at least once.
Kansas City allowed Joe Mixon to run in for one in their first playoff game and James Cook punched in 2 in the AFC Championship game. Barkley has scored 5 rushing TDs in his last 2 games and has only posted 2 receiving touchdowns all season. Neither of those have come in his last 11 starts, so if you like Barkley to score like I do, this looks to be the market to play him on.

Dallas Goedert (PHI) over 4.5 1st-quarter receiving yards (-150)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Super Bowl is where you should have your most fun betting and where the quirky prop bets are god to target. Dallas Goedert is in a phenomenal spot here against Kansas City. The Chiefs allow the most receiving yards to tight ends in the entire NFL. Goedert has his normal receiving-yards prop in the 50s now and has been a popular pick, but I like zigging when everyone zags.
I think this market has more value than his main prop. Goedert has averaged 11.3 receiving yards in the 1st quarter in the NFL Playoffs and is fresh off games of 10 and 20 yards to open the game. Goedert should hit this on 1 catch and I think he will be a big part of Philadelphia’s gameplan. This has ladder potential as well, but for my official play, I’m staying conservative and targeting him to post at least 5 yards in the 1st quarter as one of my Eagles player props for the Super Bowl.

Prop Holliday’s best Super Bowl 59 player prop bets
Marquise Brown (KC) over 3.5 receptions (-118)
Marquise Brown (KC) over 4.5 receptions (+178)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown has had a rough first season with the Chiefs. He didn’t see his first start until Week 16, where he logged 8 targets and 5 receptions for 45 yards. Brown immediately followed that up with 7 targets for 4 receptions and 46 yards. The playoffs have not been as kind to him. In the Divisional Round against Houston, he saw only 2 targets for 0 receptions, while the AFC Championship Game brought him 5 targets and 3 receptions. For the Chiefs, it’s truly a team-first approach that can see any skill position player step up to make plays, but I love Brown at this 3.5 mark.
The Vic Fangio defense is very much bend-don’t-break that has 2 high safeties and light boxes. It makes it very hard to throw over the top and limits the big, explosive plays while keeping everything in front of you.
So, why Marquise Brown? I went back and watched every target he had this season (there weren’t many due to injury) and he’s been thriving underneath with very few deep targets. His aDOT on the season was 8.1 and they used him frequently on plays out to the sidelines in quick outs. Occasionally, these quick outs are used to set up a deep play when the corner bites on his curls, drags, and out routes, but its all done on the basis of him being a short-yardage receiver. It’s why he never went over 46 yards this season, but what was promising was that he had 65%+ offensive snaps in both playoff games. I’m going with 1u on 4+ receptions and 0.5u on 5+ receptions as the best of my Chiefs player props for the Super Bowl.
