CBS Sports Staff Props
Jared Dubin: 49ers win in the first half, Chiefs win (+525, Caesars). “The Chiefs have never led at halftime in the three times they’ve been to the Super Bowl in this era (they were tied with the Niners, trailing the Bucks and Eagles), so if you think the Chiefs will win, this is the one. You deserve better than that.” You’re just taking advantage of the flow of money. ”
Eric Karnish: Team with longest touchdown: 49ers (-142, FanDuel). “The San Francisco 49ers are all about gaining yards after the catch, so it makes sense that they would pick this prop. Expect this to happen in the first half… with Kyle Shanahan’s team probably disappearing in the second half. “Before” the final stretch. ”
Jordan Dajani: Field Goal Play (via Caesars): For the first scoring play, both KC and SF field goals are listed as +360. For example, on each option he plays $20 and if one hits, in total he wins $52.
Josh Edwards: Christian McCaffrey’s first touchdown scorer (+360, DraftKings). San Francisco has scored a touchdown on more than half of its first drives (10 of 19) this season, while Kansas City has scored a touchdown on just 25% of its first drives. Christian McCaffrey has scored touchdowns in 13 of the 49ers’ 18 games this season.
Shana McCalliston: Will the last play of the game be quarterback Neal? Yes (+200, FanDuel). The Super Bowl is a battle between the two strongest teams in the league, so theoretically it should be a close game. A lot of times the game is a fine line and you either get down on the field last or make a field goal to win it all. It will be interesting to see if the match will end in victory or if it will be a battle of the final seconds. I think we’re getting some value out of our knees.
Tyler Sullivan: Travis Kelce wins Super Bowl MVP (+1200, DraftKings). I’m not a fan of good storylines. If Kelce can repeat what he’s done the last two rounds with the Chiefs’ win, he’ll hoist the Lombardi Trophy as MVP while Taylor Swift and her latest Grammy watch on. I feel like this is how this season should end.
John Breech: Total number of players throwing passes: 2.5+ (+160 on FanDuel). This is very simple. If you think players other than the two quarterbacks will throw passes, bet on this prop. The pass doesn’t have to be complete, just a throw is enough. I think we’ll see at least one trick play and this prop will be a hit. And even if you don’t see a trick play, if one of your quarterbacks takes a big hit and has to leave the game for a play or two, leaving room for your backup QB to throw a pass. This prop could also be a hit.
