The Super Bowl is the best prop-betting game of the year.
People will be betting on just about everything to do with Super Bowl LVII between the Chiefs and Eagles.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is having one of the best seasons of his career after leaving Aaron Rodgers for Patrick Mahomes in the offseason.
Valdes-Scantling caught 42 passes for 687 yards during the regular season. That's the most receptions in a season he has caught in a season and the second-most yards.
Now he will be expected to make a play or two for Mahomes in the Super Bowl. The betting public believes that might include finding the end zone.
Super Bowl LVII Chiefs vs. Eagles: Marquez Valdes-Scantlings's Most Popular Player Prop Bets
All props are according to PointsBet as of Wednesday morning.
1. Anytime TD (+290)
There will be lots of bets out there on all of the various players to score an anytime touchdown.
At +290 odds, that suggests his implied probability to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl is 25.7%. Valdes-Scantling only scored two touchdowns during 17 games in the regular season. That means he scored a touchdown in just 11.7% of the games.
But the real reason the public is betting Valdes-Scantling to score a touchdown is his production so far in the playoffs. He's scored a touchdown in each of the Chiefs' playoff games. And against the Jaguars, he only had one catch — and it was for a touchdown.
