Over the last 10 days, I\u2019ve seen at least 900 different ways to bet Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Literally, 900 ways. Legalization provides opportunities for sportsbooks to get creative and, boy, have they figured out a way to entice people from all walks of life. I wrote about the prop phenomenon years ago. Here are my five favorite bets for Sunday. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated.

Hell, Tom Brady never engineered a first-quarter touchdown drive in nine Super Bowls with the Patriots. Nerves should certainly be a thing for both Sam Darnold and Drake Maye, and I\u2019ll be rooting for 0-0, 3-0, 3-3, 6-0, 7-0 or 8-0. Anything 9 or higher is a loss. PICK: First quarter Under 8.5 points scored (-115) Longest field goal Under 49.5 yards Sure, both kickers are weapons, but these coaching staffs are rather aggressive on fourth-and-3 or shorter. That\u2019s because Mike Macdonald and Mike Vrabel trust their defenses coming back the other way. Don\u2019t be surprised when one of these teams passes up a 50-yarder to leave the offense on the field. If somebody drills a long one heading into the half, so be it. PICK: Longest field goal Under 49.5 yards (-110) Drake Maye Under 37.5 rushing yards Does anybody like the Under here? The first number I saw, this prop was 28.5, and now we\u2019re almost 10 yards higher. Alrighty then. It\u2019s easy to peep playoff box scores and see Maye\u2019s 66 yards against Los Angeles and 65 against Denver. However, you can\u2019t ignore the 10 rushing yards versus Houston. I expect Seattle\u2019s stingy defense to account for Maye and limit his breakouts. PICK: Drake Maye Under 37.5 rushing yards (-105) Mack Hollins Under 2.5 catches Wise guys popped this in Vegas at -110 and -130, but I still think it\u2019s good to about -160. Anything higher, it\u2019s a pass. Caesars is out to -200. Woof. Hollins was a popular target for Maye during the regular season until he suffered an abdomen injury in Week 16 at Baltimore. He was activated for the AFC Championship and caught two passes against the big, bad Denver defense. His life doesn\u2019t get any easier against a loaded Seattle secondary. PICK: Mack Hollins Under 2.5 catches (-155) Rashid Shaheed MVP Now we\u2019re gambling. I made this full-unit bet expecting to lose, though it\u2019s easy for me to make a case for Seattle\u2019s Swiss army knife. Shaheed is a speedster that\u2019s no stranger to home-run plays. We saw him blow by defenders and score an 87-yard touchdown pass earlier this season. He also returns kicks and punts, so he\u2019ll touch the ball in high-leverage situations. And who knows, maybe Klint Kubiak will use Shaheed in the running game. FanDuel is offering 45-1 \u2014 the best price by far \u2014 and I think it\u2019s well worth a bet. PICK: Rashid Shaheed (+4500) to win Super Bowl MVP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
