Super Bowl props were posted right when the matchup was set on Sunday night, and bettors have already identified their favorite picks.

BetMGM has released the five props that bettors are all over, and it should come as no shock that they're all overs. It also isn't a surprise that two of them are on Saquon Barkley.

Odds listed below are as of Tuesday morning via BetMGM.

Super Bowl Props: Most Popular Picks

1. Dallas Goedert Over 48.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

This Dallas Goedert prop was highlighted by our own Brandon Anderson on “The Action Network Podcast” on Sunday night when it was 45.5. Since then, action has come in hot and heavy on Goedert’s over.

The Chiefs allowed the second-most receiving yards per game to opposing tight ends during the regular season. Dalton Schultz went over his total in the Divisional Round with 63 yards, but Dalton Kincaid had just 13 in the AFC Championship Game, although he reportedly was playing with a significant knee injury.

Our anytime touchdown guru Gilles Gallant is also on Goedert to find the end zone in the Super Bowl.

2. Xavier Worthy Over 4.5 Rushing Yards (-140)

BetMGM is the only sportsbook still holding onto 4.5. Caesars is even up to 6.5.

This one opened at 3.5 on Sunday night, but bettors have come in hot on the over with 99% of bets on that side of Xavier Worthy’s rushing yards total.

The versatile rookie has gone over this total in one of the Chiefs’ two playoff games, and he still got a carry in the one under but lost eight yards on that. Overall, Worthy has reached double-digit rushing yards in four of the Chiefs’ last six games.

4. Saquon Barkley Longest Rush Over 23.5 (-140)

This makes sense. If Saquon Barkley didn’t get hurt against the Commanders, he likely would have gone over his absurd pregame total of 130.5, but a calf injury limited him to 15 carries and 118 yards.

The over on his longest rush, though, still hit.

Barkley’s longest rush has been 24 or more yards in 10 of the 18 games he has played in, and he has gained 114 or more rushing yards in 11 games this season, including each of his last five.

5. Patrick Mahomes Over 5.5 Rush Attempts (-150)

Patrick Mahomes’ rushing yards total opened at 28.5, but it was all the way up to 40.5 on Tuesday morning.

The narrative surrounding Mahomes is that he becomes a rushing machine in the playoffs, but that hasn’t necessarily been the case. He has only gone over this total in four of nine playoff games over the last three postseasons.

Betting the over on Mahomes’ rush attempts is usually the way to go, but we’re approaching key-number territory for that based on his recent playoff performances.

Mahomes’ total in that market was 4.5 for the AFC Championship Game. It is already at 6.5 at most sportsbooks, although bet365 and BetMGM still have 5.5 posted with -130 and -150 odds on the over. Mahomes has gone over 5.5 six times in nine games over the last three postseasons, but he’s only gone over 6.5 three times.

This bet opened at BetMGM at 4.5 with -110 on the over and under.
