With the Super Bowl being one of the biggest sporting events on the calendar, it is safe to say that there will be a bucket load of betting markets available for the Super Bowl on Sunday February 9.
I am going to go through a few of the most popular markets with my tip. Take a look and see if you agree with me. If you don’t, you can check out more odds from the best Super Bowl betting sites.
The betting market for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the Super Bowl is very popular. It is important to note that it is more than likely an offensive player that will win the award. In the last 21 years there have been just two defensive players to be named MVP, the rest have been on the offence.
Here is a brief run down of the players expected to be in the running for the MVP at Super Bowl 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans with odds provided by BetMGM:
Patrick Mahomes has played in four Super Bowls. He has won three of those matches, and in those three wins he won the MVP Award. So, if the Chiefs are winning then it is more than likely Mahomes will be crowned the MVP. His throwing arm and passing yards will be key to what Kansas City does on offence. Mahomes is the favourite for a reason.
Saquon Barkley was written off when he left the New York Giants to join the Eagles. Critics felt his best years were behind him. Well, he has proved everyone wrong as he is the main reason the Eagles are in the Super Bowl. Barkley has rushed for 2005 yards this season with 13 touchdowns. If the Eagles can get the ball in his hands, he will take some stopping. If he rushes for over 100 yards, scores a TD or two and the Eagles win, then he will win the MVP Award.
Jalen Hurts is just as important to the Eagles as Mahomes is for the Chiefs. Hurts might not have the arm strength of Mahomes, but he can motor with his legs and his vision in the Red Zone is something else. It would take three or more passing touchdowns and over 300 yards passing for Hurts to win this award, but he is more than capable of doing it.
Travis Kelce is still one of the best Tight Ends in the NFL despite being 35 years of age. He might garner more attention because of who he is dating - Taylor Swift - but he is still capable of finding the gaps and getting open. Once he gets open, Mahomes will find him. Kelce is a good shout for the MVP Award, but he manages to make a bunch of catches and scores a TD or two, then the plaudits will probably go to Mahomes for finding him open in the first place.
There are quite a few markets regarding touchdowns for the Super Bowl. The most popular betting market is the first touchdown of the Super Bowl.
More often than not it is going to be a running back, tight end or wide receiver. Although if the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills were in the Super Bowl, you would be advised to back the quarterback in that one as they are no strangers to running in the odd six pointer.
Saying that, Jalen Hurts is no stranger when it comes to keeping the ball himself. He has mastered the Tush Push and that is a dangerous weapon for the Eagles.
Aside from backing the first touchdown of the game, you can back your favourite player to score the last TD of the game or just to score any time during the four quarters.
Backing the any time market is not as profitable, but it is a good route to go down because you are unsure who will be receiving the ball first and your bet for first touchdown scorer could be over before your selected player even gets his hands on the ball.
Our selection for Super Bowl LIX is Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley. Yes, the Eagles might not receive the ball first, but we are sticking with him.
He showed against the Washington Commanders that he is so dangerous running in open field, plus he can charge through defences as well if needed to.
We are backing Hurts to hand it off to him a few times in their opening drives, so we are backing the process and having Barkley as our first touchdown pick.
You will know by now that the Super Bowl is mainly about the two quarterbacks. A lot of the Super Bowl odds will centre around the two QBs.
They will have the ball in their hands more than any other player and their performance will determine how the match ends up.
You can bet on your selected quarterback to throw over or under a certain amount of yards. Some markets will have milestones for the QB, so you can back one of them to throw 150, 200, 250 plus yards.
Other markets include passing attempts, touchdown passes, passing completions and even longest pass completion.
Basically, anything the QB can do in a game you can bet on it. You can also go with how many interceptions a quarterback will throw, not sure Mahomes or Hurts will thank you for choosing that market, but it is available.
Mahomes has thrown for 3928 yards this season, with 26 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. Hurts has thrown 18 TD passes for 2903 yards, while he has only been picked off five times.
Bet: Patrick Mahomes over 250.5 passing yards @ 20/23 Bwin
Bet: Jalen Hurts over 1.5 passing touchdowns @ 27/20 Bwin
Backing the outcome of the first drive of the game is a bit of a risk if you place the bet before the match has started.
You could back it in-play, but the odds will not be as favourable because you will then know who has the ball on the first drive.
It literally is a toss of the coin who will receive the ball first - something you can actually bet on. For some reason, we expect the opening few drives to be a cagey affair. There is so much on the line, you will want to keep mistakes and penalties to a minimum.
We expect Kansas City to win the toss and opt to kick off. So, for that reason we are going with the Eagles to march down the field and have a field goal attempt.
Bet: Outcome of first drive - Eagles field goal attempt @ 7/2 Bwin
A lot of bookmakers will allow you to back a double result market on the Super Bowl. This is backing which team will win the first half and then be the winner at the end of the game.
For some reason, we think this will be a tight affair in the first half with both teams going tit-for-tat. We are backing the scores to be level at the break, before both teams try to open it up a bit in the second half.
In the remaining two quarters, we expect Hurts and Barkley to take control and take a lot of time off the clock and hurt the Chiefs with the run game.
We just feel that the Eagles will be too strong for the Chiefs in the end.
Bet: Double Result - Tie/Eagles @ 20/1 Betfred
You cannot have a big sporting event like the Super Bowl without some novelty Super Bowl prop bets. You can have serious prop bets on how many passing yards, receiving yards, points total etc, but you can also have a little bit of fun.
BetMGM have their own market for novelty offers. The majority of them will probably not come in, but it is fun to have a look and chance your arm.
This year the novelty market includes the game to end in a ‘Scorigami’, This is when the match ends with a scoreline never seen before. To be honest, that is a difficult bet to come in considering how many matches there have been in the past.
There is a bet called the ‘Octopus’ as well. This is where a two-point touchdown is scored by the same player who scored the initial TD. This bet is perfect for Barkley. He loves to punch holes in the defence, so he is more than capable of rushing for a TD and then adding the extra two points if the game is close. This has a good chance of happening, so might be worth a shot.
Bet: Octopus - Yes @ 12/1 BetMGM
