Out of the 57 Super Bowls in the league's history, 31 have been quarterbacks (54%), 8 have been wide receivers (14%), and 7 have been running backs (12%). On the defensive/special teams' side of this award, there have been 11 (19%), but as you can imagine, it takes a historic performance. The most all time? None other than Tom Brady with 5. Heading into this game, Patrick Mahomes already has one under his belt and would be the favorite should the Chiefs upset the Eagles.
The best way to play this market is to not put all of your eggs in one basket. I would obviously take one of the two QBs (based on who you think wins the game) for 0.5U. In addition to that, place 0.25U on an offensive player (non-QB) and a player on the other team so that you have action on both sides. Below are the 3 I'll be playing for Super Bowl 57.
