Five fun bets for Super Bowl Sunday, and as always, the odds come from DraftKings Sportsbook.
Coin Toss: Tails (+100)
Tails, it has been said, never fails. And if something never fails, why would you not place a wager on it?
Travis Kelce: First TD Scorer (+650)
How much explanation does this require? Kelce might be the best pass-catching tight end in the history of the league and he’s the favorite weapon of Patrick Mahomes. When they get down inside the red zone, Kelce is options one, two and three.
Jalen Hurts: Under 49.5 Yards Rushing (-115)
It’s been well over a month since Hurts has eclipsed fifty yards rushing, and he did so against the Bears on December 18th. Hurts is sort of an up-the-gut rusher, exploiting gaps left by interior DL. The Chiefs have some of the best players in the league in the interior of their DL. The Eagles will run the ball effectively, but not with the quarterback.
Chris Jones: Over 0.25 Sacks (-135)
Hard for me to imagine a scenario where Jones doesn’t get on the stat sheet. Not a ton of value here but you should be able to parlay it in some locations, perhaps with your choice to win the game on the money line.
DeVonta Smith: 125+ Receiving Yards and 1+ TD (+1000)
The odds are long for a reason. This is a long shot bet. But as someone who has earmarked Smith as a potential MVP of this game, I feel it’s worth a slight financial risk. $10 to win $110 sounds about right.
