The Super Bowl is almost upon us.
The Kansas City Chiefs are going up against the Philadelphia Eagles for the Lombardi trophy and we have got our top five Super Bowl bets to make sure that you have a winning night as well.
Xavier Worthy Anytime Touchdown @ 6/4 (SkyBet)
The Chiefs might not have been prolific scorers over the regular season but in the playoffs, they come to life.
Patrick Mahomes has a history of playing up to the occasion and nothing is bigger than the Super Bowl.
Although Travis Kelce has been his main receiving option over the years, things are changing in Kansas. The guy you want to be looking at now is rookie Xavier Worthy and at 6/4 he is a great price to score a touchdown.
Worthy had 638 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season but also has had the most receptions from Mahomes during the two playoff games.
He did not score against the Texans, but he did against the Bills and another touchdown is on the cards here.
1 Passing Touchdown & 1 Rushing Touchdown BTTS @ 15/8 (SkyBet)
As great as both of the two defences are its going to take a decent number of points to win this match up.
Both teams have strong rushing and passing attacks and so 15/8 is a good price for this bet.
The Eagles have stud running back Saquon Barkley and two great receivers in AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. The Chiefs have also got plenty of options with running backs Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco and receivers Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.
This bet came in during both the AFC and NFC Championship games and it has a very good chance of coming in the Super Bowl.
Saquon Barkley and Xavier Worthy Anytime Touchdown @ 3/1 (SkyBet)
We have already looked at why Xavier Worthy is a good bet to score a touchdown in this game. If you ever wanted someone to add to that bet then it would be the best RB this season to score as well.
Barkley rushed for over 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns during the season and on top of that managed to amass 278 yards and two more touchdowns in the passing game.
The Chiefs ranked 13th overall when it came to giving up rushing touchdowns during the season and Barkley has been unstoppable this season.
3/1 is an excellent price for both of these two guys to score.
1+ Field Goal in Each Half for Both Teams @ 13/2 (SkyBet)
Historically SuperBowl’s tend to be defensive affairs with plenty of nerves out on the field. Although both teams do have strong offences, they do also have quality defences.
It is very possible that both teams will be stopped before reaching the end zone and plenty of field goals will be seen.
Another reason that this bet has a good chance of coming in is due to the venue. The SuperDome in New Orleans is indoors and takes out any potential weather issues for both kickers.
This is a bigger price at 13/2 but is certainly a price worth taking given the conditions both teams will be playing in.
Bet Builder @ 9/1 (Bet365)
Saquon Barkley anytime, Xavier Worthy anytime, Marquise Brown 2+ receptions, JuJu Smith- Schuster 2+ receptions, Dallas Goedert 4+ receptions and Xavier Worthy 30+ receiving yards.
As we have previously looked at Barkley and Worthy to score anytime look like decent bets and so must be included in the bet builder.
Worthy to get 30+ receiving yards is another good choice and something he has done in the previous two playoff games for the Chiefs.
‘Hollywood’ Brown and Smith-Schuster to get two or more receptions each also feels likely to happen. Both got at least two receptions in the Championship game against the Bills and Mahomes has a history of spreading the ball around.
Dallas Goedert to have 4+ receptions is another solid bet given how Jalen Hurts uses him when the defence gets pressure on him.
Goedert has had 4+ receptions in all three of the Eagles playoff games this season and he should have a great chance of doing it again.
