Super Bowl TD props: Our two best bets from both teams
If you aren't yet tired of Super Bowl bets, terrific, we have just the thing! We're expecting three or more touchdowns from both Kansas City and San Francisco in this one, and we're sure neither side wants to let us down in that regard.
In that vein, we'll stake our final claims into the touchdown prop market and pick out two of our favorites from the Chiefs and 49ers.
Kansas City TD props
Rashee Rice (+150 Fanatics)
We've been incredibly drawn to Rashee Rice since this matchup was determined, and here we are on the cusp of the big game, and he's still our first choice.
You see, the 49ers have allowed the fifth-most receptions and ninth-most touchdowns to the WR position, and Rashee Rice has an important designation here as Patrick Mahomes's most trusted wide receiver option.
That's a position not to be taken lightly, and with Rice scoring eight times this season and catching 7+ balls in six of his last nine, we're liking the young wideout to stay involved in this one.
Isiah Pacheco (-115 FanDuel)
The 49ers run defense has been a bit more leaky of late, as both Aaron Jones and the Lions RB tandem saw big games against San Francisco.
Pacheco has carried the ball 63 times in three playoff games, a role that should be there once again on Sunday. Would we prefer better odds? Sure, but sometimes you just have to take what you can get. Pacheco easily topped Kansas City in red zone looks this season with 69, and he's scored a touchdown in seven straight games.
San Francisco TD props
George Kittle (+190 FanDuel)
We love Kittle to have a productive day this weekend while most of the world focuses on the other star tight end. Kittle should see plenty of one-on-one looks, a benefit here. He scored last time he faced off against Kansas City, and is a force in the red zone should the 49ers find themselves in close.
We prefer this price on Kittle to either of Brock Purdy's top WRs.
Brock Purdy (+900 FanDuel)
Now come on, we need to grab a longer odds play, and Purdy seems like just the ticket. We're not comparing Purdy to either of these two passers, but we'll just note that Josh Allen had two rushing touchdowns in the Divisional Round, and Jalen Hurts rushed three TDs in against Kansas City in last year's Super Bowl.
Purdy has taken 11 carries over the past two games for 62 yards, and it just takes one sneak or scramble to give us a +900 cash. This is worth a sprinkle.
