Top NFL prop bet picks and betting advice for Super Bowl LIX. Kipp Heisterman gives an in-depth gambling preview for the big game and his winning bets.
Super Sunday is finally here! Super Bowl LIX will match the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La., with the Chiefs currently favored by 1.5 points.
That being said, we are not here to discuss spreads and totals. Oh no, we are here to discuss the props that are currently out on the market on DraftKings Sportsbook and see which of them we can attack with confidence.
In this article, I will cover some of my favorite props listed under the Super Bowl Specials section of DraftKings Sportsbook. Let's get to the bets already, shall we?

Passing Specials
Total players to have a passing attempt UNDER 2.5 (-238)
We are going to start with a bit of a fun prop. Keep in mind that a player outside of Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts would need to attempt a pass in this game. In recent history, this prop has come to fruition in two of the previous three Super Bowls; however, the one time this prop did not hit was when the Chiefs and Eagles tangled in Super Bowl LVII.
It should also be noted that neither team has had anyone other than the quarterback position attempt a pass all season.
Player Specials
Travis Kelce to have 25+ receiving yards in each half (+140)
I like the value we are getting on this prop. Kelce has a game prop currently set to 61.5 receiving yards, so we are getting a slight discount with his first-half number. The Eagles were exploited vs. Zach Ertz two weeks ago as he hauled in 11 of 16 targets for 104 receiving yards. Kelce should be in line for a solid workload in this matchup as well. He has hauled in 31 of 37 targets for 350 receiving yards in four previous Super Bowls.
Game Specials
Each team to score 1+ rushing touchdown and 1+ passing touchdown (+190)
There are expected to be some points in the game with the current total set at 49. Both of these teams are capable of moving the ball through the air and on the ground. They are also both capable of putting the ball in the end zone on either type of play.
The biggest concern here may be whether or not Jalen Hurts can toss a touchdown, but he has thrown a touchdown in two of three playoff games and 12 of 15 regular-season games.
Jalen Hurts looked comfortable in the pocket, A.J. Brown was the focal point of the passing attack, and both Brown and DeVonta Smith had 10+ targets, 100+ yards, and a touchdown against PIT
