Pro Bookmaker’s Analysis

Below is betting insight that bookmaker Casey Lewless provided to Gambling.com. Lewless manages the ESPN Bet sportsbooks at the Margaritaville and Boomtown casinos in Northwest Louisiana.

Lewless: Let's talk spread and point totals. Kansas City is -1.5, and the over/under is 49. I don’t have a real feel for the -1.5, but I'm going over 49. If your sportsbook will take it, go with a parlay of: 

• Kansas City sacks over 2.5
• Isiah Pachecorush attempts over 5.5
• Kareem Hunt receiving yards over 6.5
• Jalen Hurtscompletions over 17.5

For anytime touchdown, the likely subjects (such as Saquon Barkley-215, Jalen Hurts -122, and Kareem Hunt+123) have been priced super low, in my opinion.

Same with Super Bowl MVP. Saquon Barkleyand the two quarterbacks, PatrickMahomesand JalenHurts, have been priced low. That makes it hard to play anyone else because, for example, if A.J. Brown catches two touchdown passes, that also means Jalen Hurts gets credit for the two.

It’s interesting that neither quarterback is expected to throw an interception, as Patrick Mahomes is +105 and Jalen Hurtsis +128.

Pass completions are set at 17.5 for Jalen Hurts and 23.5 for Patrick Mahomes.The general consensus is for JalenHurtsto go over. Patrick Mahomesis a solid number. 

Receiving yards, I'm going with a couple of small reaches, Kareem Huntover 6.5 yards at -112 and DeAndre Hopkinsover 13.5 at -114.

As for rushing attempts, I'm sticking with my Chiefs theme: Isiah Pachecoover 5.5.

Good luck!
