Super Bowl LVI kicker props to bet
You know the importance of a strong kicker for NFL postseason success, so why not consider a betting angle on that facet of the game?
As we prepare for Super Bowl LVI, there's a betting angle you need on your radar.
Evan McPherson over 7.5 kicking points (-140 on DK)
At -140, the odds aren't fantastic, but McPherson has been rolling against this number and needs to be involved on your bet slip in some capacity for Super Bowl Sunday.
McPherson has become a household name in NFL circles the past two weeks, with game-winning kicks against both the Titans in the divisional round and in overtime against the Chiefs to send the Bengals to the Super Bowl.
If you've never bet on a Kicking Points prop before, it's quite straightforward. A made PAT counts as 1 point, and a field goal is 3 points.
McPherson has gone over this 7.5 total in seven straight games, finishing with kicking point totals of 14, 13 and 13 in the Bengals' three playoff games this season.
He's not even close to this total, and has made four field goals in all three postseason contests for Cincinnati.
I love that consistency and do expect Joe Burrow and this Cincy offense to have some success in Super Bowl LVI.
Cincinnati Bengals: Over 0.5 field goals made in first quarter (+260 DraftKings)
Continuing with McPherson's steady production, it feels worth it to make a small wager on the Bengals making one field goal in the first quarter at these +260 odds.
Throwing data out the window for a minute, this is just a fun one to root for as you watch the game. If it hits, you can roll that over into the rest of the game.
The Bengals have made a field goal in the first quarter of every playoff game so far, so let's bet on that streak continuing on Super Bowl Sunday.
Plenty more prop angles are yet to come as we gear up for the big game on February 13.
