Super Bowl 2024 Betting Odds: The Ultimate Playbook
Our Betting Game Props Guide
As the clock ticks away towards Super Bowl LVIII, we know you’re not only gearing up to watch the San Francisco 49ers face off against the Kansas City Chiefs but are also getting your bets ready for action. C’mon, you know you are…
Well, whatever you are, doing or otherwise, there’s a play for you in this game of odds. This Super Bowl 2024 betting odds playbook is wide open, with bets galore for every angle of Sunday’s action.
Scoring the First Points
Which team will break the deadlock?
While the coin toss might seem like a 50/50 shot, the 49ers have nosed ahead as the slight favorites to score first, despite their recent track record, with -120 odds.
On the flip side, the Chiefs have shown they can come out of the gates fast. Betting odds are leaning towards a quick score at -105, with a great proposal for a rapid-fire start to the game.
Timing the Touchdowns
How quickly will the scoreboard tick over?
If you’re betting on an early breakthrough, the Super Bowl 2024 betting odds are juicy for the first five minutes. A Super Bowl score happening early has high odds at +185, that is, for a team scoring within the first five game minutes.
A scoreless first five minutes has odds set at -250. The Chiefs and 49ers have both had their moments of early brilliance and sluggish starts throughout the playoffs, making this a bet filled with suspense.
For those who like their odds a bit longer, there’s even a market for a team scoring on their very first offensive play—a true long shot at +5000.
Predicting the Final Score
With the 49ers holding a slender advantage in the run-up to the game, the over/under point total is set at a very juicy 47.5.
If you’ve got a hunch on the final score, there’s a bevy of options to choose from, with a 27-24 victory for either team being pegged as the most probable outcome.
For true NFL aficionados, there’s even the chance to bet on a Scorigami, which is a final score that’s never been seen before in the league’s storied history.
Scoring on Individual Brilliance
Super Bowl LVIII is also the stage for individual brilliance. Will Mahomes or Purdy start with a bang and set a new record for consecutive completions? Betting on either completing the first 10 passes can be done at +550. Or will Kelce or Kittle rewrite the history books for tight ends? This can be seen happening at 134 or more receiving yards, with the record being set at +850 odds.
Super Bowl 2024 Betting Odds Trivia Tidbit:
As an interesting fact, ticket prices for the cheapest seats at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas are setting new records, becoming the most expensive entry-level prices in Super Bowl history.
Surpassing even the high costs of the pandemic-reduced capacity Super Bowl of 2021, the get-in price just days before the game stands at an unprecedented $7,790. In fact, a last-minute rush of purchases is expected to further influence the market. This Super Bowl is on track to become one of the top-selling in history, largely driven by a strong showing from 49ers fans.
