The biggest sports betting day of the year is Sunday, with Super Bowl LV set to be played between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Chiefs -3.5 and the over/under of 56 haven’t changed much since they first hit the board following Championship Sunday. So if you’re going to play the main Super Bowl game lines, now is as good a time as any.
It’s also when it’s time to start looking at the best proposition bets and the online bets that focus on individual performances and player game awards.
Super Bowl LV MVP Odds
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Patrick Mahomes | -130 |
| Tom Brady | +175 |
| Tyreek Hill | +800 |
| Travis Kelce | +900 |
| Leonard Fournette | +3000 |
| Chris Godwin | +3000 |
| Mike Evans | +3500 |
| Clyde Edwards-Helaire | +4500 |
| Darrel Williams | +4500 |
| Devin White | +4500 |
| Antonio Brown | +4500 |
Quarterbacks usually win the Super Bowl MVP, and the online betting favorites for Super Bowl LV reflect that. If the Chiefs repeat, it will likely be an MVP repeat for Patrick Mahomes. If the Buccaneers win, Tom Brady is the favorite to be crowned the MVP for the fifth time.
If Tyreek Hill goes for 200 yards in the first quarter, as he did in the first meeting between these two, he’s a good bet. If Travis Kelce catches another 13 passes, as he did in the AFC Championship Game, he’s a solid bet.
Also, don’t sleep on Mike Evans, who caught a pair of touchdowns in the regular-season meeting.

You can also wager on which player will score the first touchdown of the game for either team.

Player vs. Player Props
Another favorite proposition bet is when you get head-to-head matchups on yards, receptions, and passing.
