It all comes down to this. Super Bowl 58 is officially upon us, and this Sunday night, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will battle it out for the honor to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Chiefs are looking to go back-to-back after edging the Eagles last year, while the 49ers are out to justify their tag as favorites. We’ll have plenty of sup erstars on the field, with the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle all suiting up. Each of those players and plenty more are available to bet on in the form of an NFL player prop bet. Let’s dive into our experts’ best player prop picks for Super Bowl 58.
Patrick Mahomes over 36.5 pass attempts (-110)'
Mahomes averages 40 pass attempts per game in losses this season and has gone over this mark in 5 of 6 losses in the regular season. Am I tipping my cap as to which way I'm leaning on this game? Maybe. But the public is all over the Chiefs and the line continues to move in favor of the 49ers going from -2 to -2.5 in some books. I won't personally bet against Mahomes from a sides standpoint, but this line is enticing. The 49ers will do a good job controlling the clock with their offense and it will amplify the importance of each KC drive. They cannot run the risk of going 3-and-out in these scenarios, as SF is outstanding at playing with a lead. As a result, Reid will (rightfully) put the game on Mahomes shoulders. This is a good number regardless of the game's outcome, but I like it more given the line movement we are seeing.
