Thunder Dan's NFL Prop Bets for Super Bowl LVII: Top Player Props Betting Picks

February 12, 2023

Dan Palyo's top NFL betting picks and best bets for Super Bowl LVII. His favorite NFL betting picks for NFL player props bets for the NFL playoffs.

The biggest of all the games is almost finally here! We've been waiting for this game for a long time and the extra week between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl only adds to the drama. I've got the Birds winning this one and I'm pretty invested in their ML and spread, but this article is going to focus on player props that you should consider for Super Bowl LVII.

This year, I started my own free sports betting newsletter, and the good people here at RotoBaller are allowing me to share my picks and data with you here in this space! You can access the free substack here and sign up for daily emails in addition to viewing the picks daily here on the RotoBaller website.

In this article, I'll be providing my favorite NFL betting picks for the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 12th. The odds on these bets vary from book to book and are constantly changing. I primarily use FanDuel and DraftKings sportsbooks, but I would strongly encourage you to shop for the best odds at whatever books you use daily. I would also advise checking back later in the week as I may add bets depending on odds changing or specific props becoming available after I first post.

NFL Betting Picks: Player Props for Super Bowl LVII

Miles Sanders OVER 60.5 rushing yards (-115)

This number has been steadily rising now for a week so props to you if you got it at 58 or 59. This is a no-brainer for me. The Eagles are going to run, run, run in this game if they can and I think they’ll be able to against this KC front seven.

Boston Scott OVER 7.5 rushing yards (-140)

These odds have jumped a bit but the number hasn’t moved. Scott is bound to work in for a few carries here and there and he could get this in literally one run, this feels like one of the easier bets to hit assuming we can project Scott for at least 3-4 carries.

Dallas Goedert OVER 47.5 receiving yards (-130)

The Philly big man is quite literally a clone of Travis Kelce and I think you’ll see him on full display in this one as he is a major mismatch for the Chiefs over the middle. The Eagles have been steadily increasing his involvement since he came back from injury and he’s a major threat down the field in addition to being used in the short passing game, too.

Sports Betting Promo Offers

Anytime Touchdown Scorers

Jalen Hurts (-115 DK)

Travis Kelce leads the odds to score in this game at -135 and while that’s a decent bet to happen, I am not too interested in those odds. I do have interest in Hurts here as we’ve seen the Eagles use his rushing ability in the red zone and on the goal line time and time again.

In the biggest game when they need a score inside the two-yard line, it’s hard to imagine that they won’t go back to the bread and butter of the Hurts sneak with the big boys pushing him from behind.

Miles Sanders (-105 DK)

Sanders had two rushing TDs against the Niners and Nick Sirianni has shown that he wants to run the ball in the red zone. I am sure there will be some more gadget-like plays in the playbook, too, but the zone read play with Hurts/Sanders is hard to stop and the Eagles’ offensive line has a big advantage here. I love Sanders’ chances of punching one in at solid odds.

Note: You can get either player to score at TD at +100 on DK with the promo they are running and that’s a max bet for me!

JUST FOR FUN: Any offensive lineman to catch a receiving TD (+3500 DK)

You simply never know when coaches are going to pull out the tackle-eligible play, right? I could totally see Andy Reid doing this or the Eagles lining up in their jumbo set and faking the sneak and getting a big man out there wide open. This is a fun bet for a few bucks, don’t get carried away!

Receptions

The books (or at least DraftKings) have left these numbers all pretty low but juiced up the odds on the OVERS. I am going to list a bunch here but I have them ranked from most confident to least confident if you are looking to use them in prop parlays for SGPs.

A.J. Brown OVER 4.5 (-160)

Travis Kelce OVER 6.5 (-175)

Dallas Goedert OVER 4.5 (-135)

DeVonta Smith OVER 4.5 (-150)

Jerick McKinnon OVER 2.5 (-145)

Kenneth Gainwell OVER 1.5 (-130)
