Few positions in any sport are as important as the quarterback is in pro football. The quarterback outshines the NHL goalie, MLB pitcher, or NBA sharp shooter as the focal point at top online sportsbooks. With that in mind there are a large amount of quarterback betting props for Super Bowl LII. The matchup between Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Nick Foles of the Philadelphia Eagles will garner plenty of opinion and betting action on Super Sunday.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has caught the top online sportsbooks by surprise as the backup who came out of nowhere to lead his team to the Super Bowl. On the board for odds to win the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award Foles is a +300 selection. It was not all that long ago that Foles was considered a likely quarterback of the future with the Eagles. The 29 year old six year pro caught fire in 2013 when Chip Kelly was head coach of the Eagles. Foles was a Pro Bowl selection that season as well as the NFL passer rating leader and Pro Bowl Most Valuable Player. The fall was just as fast as the rise for Foles however. Banished to the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs for a backup role, he came back to the Eagles this year as a backup quarterback. But when Carson Wentz went down to a knee injury Foles was forced into action and the rest is history. Among the betting options on Foles is his first pass of the game. Completing the first pass of the game is a -250 choice for Foles with incomplete at +200. Throwing an interception in the game is a -150 bet on the Eagle signal caller. No interceptions thrown by the surprise Philly hero is a +130 choice. Total completions for the game opened at Foles 21.5 -110 over under. Passing yards for the game opened at 239.5 -110 for Nick. Touchdown passes by the Eagles QB opened at one with -170 over and +145 under.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a TopBet Sportsbook wagering commodity that is as well known as any athlete. The five time Super Bowl champion is a 13 time Pro Bowler that has boasted a total of four Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Awards. Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl odds understandably opened at Brady -140. On the first pass of the game the Patriots QB opened as a -270 choice for completion and +220 for an incompletion. Total touchdown passes for the game by Brady opened at one and a half -240 over and -190 under. Totally touchdown passes for the Patriots’ legend and future Hall of Famer opened at two and a half +150 over and -180 under. As far as total yards passing in the game Tom Terrific was at 294.5 yards -110 over and under.
