With hundreds of Super Bowl markets available, it can be overwhelming to handicap for each one. The good news is that you don’t have to, as you have the BetMGM Network here to help you out. You might have noticed a market called the “Super Bowl Rematch Specials” up at the book, and you might be wondering what that is. Essentially, these are bets that all hit in Super Bowl LVII between these two teams in 2023, and you are betting that they happen again.
Clearly, these are very different teams than what we saw two years ago, and the game is going to be different as well. However, that doesn’t mean that some of these bets won’t hit, and I have a few that I like and think are worth a sprinkle for the weekend.
Dallas Goedert 60+ Receiving Yards (+120)
If you read my content last week and have been listening to me on our podcasts and shows, you know that I love Goedert in the Super Bowl. There are several reasons that I think he can have a big day against Kansas City, just like he did two years ago, when he had six catches for 60 yards.
First off, he has recorded at least four catches in nine straight playoff games coming into this one. He is almost certainly going to get his opportunity to rack up yards, and has been a huge part of the Philadelphia passing attack during this postseason run. The Kansas City defense also ranks inside the bottom five in targets, catches, and yards allowed to the tight end position this season. This was a much stronger team against the run in 2024, where they ranked 8th, compared to against the pass where they ranked 18th.
At +120 odds, I love Goedert’s chances to get us 60+ receiving yards as QB Jalen Hurts’ blanket.
A.J. Brown 96+ Receiving Yards (+200)
While everybody is zigging, I am going to be zagging. What I mean by that is that everyone is betting on RB Saquon Barkley to have a huge game, and to be fair, he has been unreal this postseason. However, people seem to be counting out Hurts because he hasn’t exactly been great this season, even though he was tremendous against Washington last week. I’d like to remind everyone that the Commanders had the 3rd ranked passing defense in the NFL this season. Kansas City is ranked 18th, so this should actually be an easier matchup for Hurts than he had in the NFC Championship.
Brown is also one of the best receivers in the league, and he torched this Chiefs secondary last time. Personally, I don’t see anyone on that defense being able to stop him in coverage, especially when it is man-to-man. While I think the Eagles will still focus on trying to run the ball with Barkley, I also think they are going to mix in plenty of play-action for Hurts. This could open things up down the field with the Chiefs doing everything they can to stop Barkley. Plus, with the Chiefs favored in the game, Philly might have a trailing game script, which only helps us here.
I’ll take a shot at 2/1 odds that Brown can once again make an impact on this game with everyone thinking the Eagles will just run the ball a million times.
JuJu Smith-Schuster 53+ Receiving Yards (+900)
If you want a long shot to throw some baby peanuts at, I think you could do worse than backing JuJu to get us 53+ receiving yards. Kansas City has shown a propensity in the past to get their lesser utilized players the ball in these big games, with players like Skyy Moore and Justin Watson having big impacts in the past. While a lot of the attention will be on rookie Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce, Smith-Schuster could have a sneaky performance.
This is obviously a longer shot, but at 9/1 odds, I think a $5 bill is worth being placed here, and it would be something fun to sweat out in the game.
