On Sunday, my alter ego will come out: Mr. $10 Bet.
Why Mr. $10 Bet? Because I am cheap but I also like to have a little fun with FanDuel on the biggest single sports wagering day of the year.
Here are my $10 bets for Sunday:
Will Kansas City score more points in? 2nd half (including OT) -125
The Chiefs have been historically slow starters in the playoffs being outscored 46-20 in the first quarter of their last five playoff games. The Fireworks will happen in the second half!
Total Net Offensive Yards Over -115
The two teams combined for 960 yards in the first half and well, life is too short to bet unders.
Will there be a 2 point conversion Yes -135
History shows the two point conversion will make an appearance in the Super Bowl. A team has gone for two in eight of the past 11 Super Bowls.
Even though it may appear a bit of a long shot considering the Chiefs and Bucs have only gone for it a handful times in the regular season. (KC 3 for 3, TB 0 for 2)
But this is the game for everything and points, possessions, and scenarios come with heightened attention.
Should an extra point be missed, a team get a double digit lead, or find themselves trailing after previously putting up a field goal to match a touchdown, there’s a good chance of seeing “go for 2” come into play.
Plus, the prop pays if there is an attempt, it doesn’t matter if the team converts either way you will.
Will Patrick Mahomes throw a 2nd Quarter TD Yes -145
13 of his 38 TD throws this season have come in the 2nd quarter.
Cameron Braite (TB) will score a touchdown +260
Watch out for Tom Brady’s tight end not named “Gronk” in the red zone.
McElroy’s pick for the game: Kansas City 34 Tampa Bay 24
Same game parlay KC -3 and over 56.5 +264
