It’s the ‘Name Your Price’ tool or a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure,’ because Super Bowl 59 betting is WAY out of hand. What do you do when you can do anything you want? Read on.

Prepare for the intense sports debate that only sibling rivalry can conjure. Seesaw Sports, where Dan Salem and Todd Salem throw down on the NFL, MLB, NBA and more. Only on BuzzChomp. Two brothers from New York yell, scream and debate sports.

 

Once upon a time betting on the Super Bowl was cutthroat and oddly specific. No longer, because Super Bowl bets are everywhere and Super Bowl 59 betting is now quite literally a game of ‘Choose Your Own Adventure.’ The prop betting and gambling landscape took over the sport long ago. However, in this day and age, with the proliferation of online sports books and legal gambling in many states, one major development has been how books create available bets.

It used to be that a set page of bets were available for a game, and you could choose to take one of the bets. Now, some books allow gamblers to create their own bets and adjust lines accordingly. Beyond that, different books offer completely different “standard” bets. Really, there is no such thing as standard anymore and you can basically do whatever you want for the big game itself.

Let’s use Draftkings or Fanduel as examples. Each offers a few regular Super Bowl bets. There is game MVP, the coin toss, and first touchdown. That type of stuff is still around. From there, literally anything else you would want to bet on is also around.

Draftkings has individual player stat props. Or, more accurately, there are the options to create said props. Will Patrick Mahomes throw for more than 250 yards? Maybe, but if you don’t like that option, you can change it to Mahomes throwing for more than 225 yards or 200 yards instead; or go the other way. Each time, the odds change. This is how it works for every player at each skill position. Super Bowl 59 betting has essentially become Progressive’s ‘Name Your Price’ tool. 

If it’s not an adjustable stat line, it’s an accomplishment pick. Prop bets used to be one side or the other. This thing will happen or won’t happen, with each outcome offering odds. Now, you pick your outcome. Either team will record +7 sacks; either QB will throw for 5+ touchdowns; any defensive player to return an INT for a touchdown, etc. These are all fun outcomes that you can bet on happening. They are not baseline props where you pick the better side. It’s a completely different animal! Let us tame the beast for you with some bankable bets for the Super Bowl.

 

Super Bowl 59 Betting Done Right

 

 

Todd Salem:

I, for one, am not a fan of such unhinged betting. The options offer too much freedom or too outlandish of an outcome. Too much freedom means the books don’t do any of the work; it’s all put on us instead. I want to find the best bets. Creating my own bet turns it into homework. It’s the difference between eating at a buffet versus buying groceries.

Likewise, just picking which outlandish outcome I think could reasonably happen is not eating at a buffet either. It’s having your cat order from Grubhub by randomly pushing his toe beans onto the phone screen. Maybe an actual meal will arrive, but you’re more likely to receive six small sodas and nothing to eat. With all that said, we have to find some props to follow for the big game. These are mine.

Patrick Mahomes will have a longest rush of 20+ yards 
+1000
Jalen Hurts will have a longest rush of 20+ yards
+1000

These are cat ordering from food app bets, but they actually feel kind of reasonable! I like the idea of betting both of them too and hoping at least one hits. Mahomes has been running often this postseason; Hurts has always been a big runner. If the latter is healthy (and hopefully a lengthy break between games will help that), he will surely put this to the test multiple times.

Longest field goal made
Kansas City -130

This is a rough return, but it’s one of the smarter bets on the board. Harrison Butker is an elite kicker who has yet to miss this postseason. Jake Elliott is a former elite kicker who went the way of Justin Tucker this season (at least, on the field). He made no kicks over 50 yards in the regular season, missed eight field-goal attempts overall, and has already missed three extra points in the playoffs. The Eagles no longer believe in him, so how often will they even give him a chance at a long kick? Besides, on any fourth-and-two or shorter, Philly goes for it with the Brotherly Shove anyway. The only way this bet fails is if Butker doesn’t need to make any long field goals.

Kareem Hunt 50+ rushing yards
+116

Let’s give one grocery bet a try I suppose. We can slide this line higher or lower, but I’ll settle on the lowest yardage total that offers a positive return on value. Hunt has become the lead back in KC thanks to Pacheco’s missed time. In the conference title game, Hunt dominated the carries 17 to five. We saw much closer usage the round prior, but Hunt has been the lead back since coming in as an injury replacement in September. We know the Chiefs will try to run the ball often, as they don’t have the horses in the passing game to wreak havoc. Hunt should be the main beneficiary.

 

 

Dan Salem:

I’m not doing homework and I’m certainly not letting my cat order dinner for me. What I will do is parlay three sure winners into one massive gamble. I call it the ‘Fat Guy in the Swimming Pool’ wager. Either it’s a huge spectacle that everyone enjoys, or you get soaking wet and no one is happy.

Super Bowl 59 Parlay:
– How Many Players Will Have A Passing Attempt? OVER 2.5 (+155)
– Will Any Player or Coach Cry During the National Anthem? YES (-115)
– Will A Kicker Hit the Upright or Crossbar On A Missed Field Goal or Extra Point? NO (-500)

Each individual bet in this parlay is not get, especially since two of them aren’t paying out well, but that’s why we parlay! In two of the last three Super Bowls a wide receiver or running back has made a pass attempt. All we need is one guy, in addition to our starters, to throw a pass and we win our first leg of Super Bowl 59.

Someone always cries during the National Anthem and this is a rematch, so there is extra emotion on both teams in Super Bowl 59. A player and/or coach is going to cry, which is why the bet itself isn’t great. Adding it to our parlay just makes sense.

Finally we must focus on something obscure and unlikely, which makes it the ideal addition to our parlay. Kicks often doink in for a score, but they rarely doink and miss. It’s highly unlikely that a missed field goal or extra point doinks the upright or crossbar, so add it to a parlay! Now we are cooking with gas.
