There are so many player props to bet during Super Bowl LVII, it’s impossible to keep track of them all.
However, all you need are a few to focus on; and FrontPageBets is here to offer three of our top player props to consider when the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles kick it off Sunday night from Glendale, Ariz.
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings and subject to change)
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce anytime touchdown (-135)
Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce is a touchdown-scoring machine.
After finishing the regular season with 12 TD catches – which was good enough for second in the entire league – he added three more in the postseason through two games, including two against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round.
In that game against the Jags, Kelce also set an NFL record for most catches by a tight end in a playoff game with 14.
In the AFC title game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Kelce snagged seven passes for 78 yards and a touchdown.
Oh, by the way, his TD catch against the Bengals was the first touchdown of the game. Kelce has now scored the first touchdown in five games this season, and been the first Chiefs' touchdown scorer in seven of them.
The odds for Kelce to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl LVII currently sit at +700. For him to be the first Kansas City player to score a touchdown, the odds are +310.
And for fun, the odds of Kelce catching a touchdown pass and the Chiefs winning are +195.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown longest reception over 25.5 yards (-115)
Philadelphia wideout A.J. Brown has been the Eagles’ big-play threat all season.
He led the team in receiving yards during the regular season with 1,496, which was 300 more than the next-closest receiver, DeVonta Smith. His 11 touchdown catches also led the team to go along with 145 targets.
Brown caught at least one pass for 29-or-more yards in 12 out of 17 regular-season games. His 17-yards-per-catch average was fourth in the entire NFL.
And while he’s only averaging 7.1 yards per catch in the playoffs, Brown hasn’t lost his step, nor have the Eagles gone away from giving him multiple opportunities to make big plays.
In the postseason, Kansas City has given up an average of 243.5 passing yards per game, including six passes of 20 yards or more.
Eagles OLB Haason Reddick first player to record a sack (+290)
The Eagles don’t need a reason to get after the quarterback – or much help in getting to him. They led the NFL in sacks during the regular season with 70. They have eight in the playoffs.
Outside linebacker Haason Reddick leads the charge. He finished the regular season tied for second in the NFL with 16 sacks. He has 3½ in the postseason, which it the best of any player in the playoffs.
And now that KC quarterback Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, his mobility will suffer. Philly knows that.
Mahomes has been sacked 29 times this year, including playoffs. He was brought down three times by the Bengals in the AFC Championship.
