While millions of people will be betting on Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, most of those wagers will be on either the side/total or player props. There are well over 100 different markets to bet into for the Super Bowl, which will have more money on it than any other game for any sport this year. Some of these more obscure markets can actually have the most value of any that are available, and we have you covered here on site for all of them.
While kicking and punting is actually a very important part of the game, many people don’t bother to bet on it because it isn’t as fun or prominent as taking Saquon Barkley 3+ touchdowns. However, there is a lot of value in this market that I think you can take advantage of, and I already have a few wagers in that could be quite profitable. Here are a few that I have bet on kicking and punting props for Super Bowl LIX.
No Missed Field Goals or Extra Points In The Game (+200, BetMGM)
I am really taking a risk here with this one, as there have been so many times where some kicker totally folds under pressure and misses an easy kick in the Super Bowl. However, I feel like there is value here at 2/1 odds that both Harrison Butker and Jake Elliott are perfect in the game.
First, let’s start with the better kicker. Butker has been nails in the playoffs, and hasn’t missed a single attempt in his last six straight playoff games, and nine of his last 10. He’s 15-for-15 on field goals and 13-for-13 on extra points in his last six playoff appearances, so I have plenty of reason to trust him here that he can continue to drill his kicks, as the moment has never been too big for him in the past.
The one to worry about is Elliott, who has had a stinker this season for the Eagles. In 20 games this season, he has missed at least one kick in 10 of them, so half of his games. However, you have to go deeper into the stats to get a full glimpse of what we are getting here with him. When he plays indoors, which is where he will be in the Super Bowl, he’s 5-for-6 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points this season. He’s been much worse outdoors, where he was 43-for-47 on XP and 25-for-34 on FGs.
Even if the Eagles don’t trust him, they have not been afraid to go for it on fourth down instead of attempting a low-percentage chance. If he doesn’t attempt one, he can’t miss it, am I right? I just think at 2/1, there is value in this prop.
Punt Total - Over 6.5 (-115, BetMGM)
I have expressed my opinion about this game, and how I feel like we will have a lower-scoring affair than we got in Super Bowl LVII between these two teams. This prop just fits right into that, so I took it for some baby peanuts. Many people have that last Super Bowl in their heads when they go to bet on this game, and with a final score of 38-35, they will be betting on another barn burner where the defenses get shredded up and down the field.
I can say with certainty that both of these defenses are far better versions than the ones we saw in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles are the No. 1 ranked passing defense in the NFL, and also ranked 1st in yards per play allowed. Kansas City wasn’t as good as Philly on defense, but they still ranked 12th in yards per play allowed, and did an excellent job bottling up the run, which is what the Eagles thrive on.
