Best Super Bowl 55 player prop bets. With the rushing attacks unpredictable in terms of backs' usage on bot teams, plus how the Buccaneers stop the run defensively and may abandon it offensively. Looking for expert analysis of Super Bowl LV prop bets? Get a full rundown on each prop from the length of national anthem performance to which team scores last.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs clash in Super Bowl 55 Sunday evening at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski, who came out of retirement to reunite with QB Tom Brady in Tampa, will look to put the feather in the cap of an excellent comeback season. Below, we look at Rob Gronkowski’s Super Bowl prop bets with NFL picks and predictions.

Bucs’ first touchdown scorer: +900

Gronkowski is priced at +1800 to score the first touchdown of Super Bowl 55 and +225 for an anytime touchdown, but I like the sweet spot of the value with the Bucs’ first 6-point score.

The future Hall of Famer has three career touchdown catches in the Super Bowl, all from Brady during their dynastic run with the New England Patriots. Gronk also shared the Bucs’ team lead with 21 red-zone targets this season. Should the Patriots get into the red zone Sunday evening, expect Brady to look for his biggest, most-trustworthy option with most of his other targets playing in their first Super Bowl.

Receiving yards: OVER 29.5 (-105)

Sometimes you have to trust the line set by the books, but that’s not the case here. Gronkowski caught 6 of 7 targets for 106 yards in the Week 12 meeting with the Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium. Sure, the Chiefs defense will be tightened up in the Big Game, but Gronk is a big-game player and has the full trust of his legendary quarterback.

It’ll likely take a few catches for him to get to 30 yards Sunday, but that’ll suit the Bucs just fine.

Receptions made: OVER 2.5 (-105)

Gronkowski has just 2 catches on 7 targets through three playoff games thus far. The Bucs will look to move slowly down the field in order to keep the Chiefs offense off the field in Super Bowl LV, so look for Brady to target Gronk in the center of the field more often to keep the clock running.

First reception: UNDER 9.5 yards (-110)

This follows suit of the above pick as Gronkowski should be used to pick up first downs and control the pace of play. His one catch against the Packers in the NFC Championship went for 29 yards, but he had just 10 catches of 20-plus yards in the regular season.

He, and all Bucs pass-catchers, will likely be asked to play conservatively in the center of the field rather than risk going out of bounds and stopping the clock on sideline runs.

1 Chiefs: First touchdown scorer

Steven: Travis Kelce (+600)

It was between Kelce and Tyreek Hill for me, and I ultimately went with the tight end because I refuse to believe the Bucs are going to let the latter run wild after what he did in the first game between these teams. On that opening possession, they’re going to make the Chiefs work for it and they’ll have to score in the red zone. That’s Kelce’s territory.

Charles M: Patrick Mahomes (+2200)

The Chiefs have always been pretty good at designing read and option plays for Mahomes near the goal line. They scored on one last year in their Super Bowl win against the 49ers and they aren’t afraid to use his athleticism when space gets tight.

Charles C: Darrell Williams (+1600)

I’m eyeing the Patrick Mahomes odds at +2200, but it feels like Andy Reid will lean on Williams to run early on, so I’ll back the RB to find the end zone first.

2 Buccaneers: First touchdown scorer

Steven: Rob Gronkowski (+1800)

Those odds are too good to pass up, and Gronk had a good game in the first matchup. I think he’ll be a big part of this week’s gameplan given the personnel the Chiefs defense trots out there. He’ll have some mismatches and Tom Brady will look to exploit them.

Charles M: Mike Evans (+1200)

I like how the Bucs wide receivers match up against the Chiefs cornerbacks. Evans is the Bucs best, healthiest receiver entering the game and they should feed him early and often.

Charles C: Cameron Brate (+1600)

Leonard Fournette at +600 is good — he’s found paydirt five times in his past six games and the Chiefs’ run defense isn’t great. But a longshot bet on the tight end who’s been more of a focus in the postseason feels like an underrated bet.

3 Super Bowl MVP

Steven: Patrick Mahomes (+100)

No need to overthink this. Although if you’re looking for a Chiefs alternative, Kelce is your man.

Charles M: Patrick Mahomes (+100)

Sorry, I’m boring. I know.

Charles C: Travis Kelce (+1000)

Obviously it’s going to be Mahomes if the Chiefs win. But if Kelce has a BIG night? I’m willing to wager on that.

4 Patrick Mahomes passing yards (O/U 329.5)

Steven: Over (-120)

Mahomes nearly hit this mark in the first half of the Week 12 game. And I don’t think the Chiefs are going to be running the ball much against that Bucs defense. This is pretty much a lock.

Prop

Charles M: Over (-120)

The Chiefs are going to air it the hell out. Their offensive line is banged up and they’re going against the toughest rushing defense in the league. Last time they played, Mahomes threw the ball 49 times. I would expect something similar.

Charles C: Over (-120)

I don’t love the odds, and the fact that Mahomes last went over 329 against the Dolphins back on Dec. 13 might tempt you to go under. But the Chiefs are going to be throwing A LOT on Sunday.

5 Tom Brady pass attempts (O/U 44.5)

Steven: Over (+270)

This is going to be a shootout and the Bucs are not going to keep up running the ball. Brady might throw 50 passes on Sunday night.

Charles M: Over (+270)

Gotta throw to keep up with, and bury, Mahomes. Any game against the Chiefs is automatically a shootout, Brady is going to need to throw the ball over and over again.

Charles C: Over (+270)

I have a feeling the game will be close in the first half before Mahomes and Co. take off in the second. That means Brady will have to throw a lot, and he’ll get to 45 before the night is over.

6 Travis Kelce receptions (O/U 7.5)

Steven: Over (-135)

Way over. Kelce might break the record for receptions in a Super Bowl on Sunday. If the Bucs are content to sit in their soft zones, he’ll feast over the middle.

Charles M: Over (-135)

This is an easy one. Kelce is a mismatch against every defender on the Bucs and he averaged seven catches per game during the regular season. Kelce had eight catches on eight targets the last time the Bucs and Chiefs played.

Charles C: Over (-135)

He had at least eight receptions in nine of his last ten games. The Bucs allowed 86 catches to opposing tight ends this year, seventh-most in the NFL. This is easy money.

7 Mike Evans receptions (O/U 4.5)

Steven: Over (+100)

Brady really looked to target Evans in that first game. And I don’t think the Chiefs will be afraid to leave him one-on-one. With the Bucs needing to throw a ton, Evans could get to this number in the first half.

Charles M: Over (+100)

This one seems a bit low to me. Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown are both a little banged up entering the Super Bowl. This seems like a prime time for a heavy dose of Mike Evans, especially considering his size advantage over the Chiefs cornerbacks.

Charles C: Over (+100)

It can be boom or bust with Evans — I’ll happily bet on him finding the end zone, but betting on this can be tricky given the receiver’s low volume. But if I think the Bucs will be playing from behind, it means Evans will end up with five or six catches.

8 Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushing yards (O/U 26.5)

Steven: Under (+115)

The Chiefs rotate their running backs and I don’t know if there are enough carries to go around. And with how important blitz pickup could be against the Bucs defense, the rookie might not see the field a whole lot.

Charles M: Over (-140)

As good as the Buccaneers run defense is, this is a pretty low bar to clear for CEH. Bell and Williams will eat into his workload, but CEH is talented enough to hit the over here.

Charles C: Under (+115)

It feels to me like Williams will get the call in the Super Bowl, CEH will have maybe seven or eight carries, and against that tough Bucs run defense, he’s not going anywhere.

9 Tyreek Hill longest reception (O/U 26.5)

Steven: Over (-125)

He might be the greatest deep threat in the history of the game. Mahomes will find a way to get him the ball deep.

Charles M: Over (-125)

Andy Reid and Eric Bienemy are going to figure out a way to get Hill open for at least one deep shot. He had a couple in the first meeting between these teams.

Charles C: (Over -125)

Lock this one in — he’s gone over that total nine times in 2020.

10 Chris Godwin total receptions (O/U 5.5)

Steven: Under (+105)

The Chiefs defense does a good job of defending slot receivers — especially the one who run deeper routes over the middle — and that’s where the Bucs deploy Godwin. Bruce Arians will scheme some easy catches for Godwin with screen passes and whatnot, but it’s going to be hard for him to get targets organically.

Charles M: Over (-130)

Godwin has a pretty favorable matchup against the interior of the Chiefs pass defense. Unless he gets stuck with Tyrann Mathieu following him around the field, Godwin should be able to clear this reception mark.

Charles C: Under (+105)

Surprise! Brady likes to spread the ball around, so Godwin will end up with five and frustrate you.

Steven: 10+ points scored in each quarter (+240)

Most Popular Super Bowl Prop Bets

Usually, Super Bowls get off to slow starts. But both quarterbacks have been here before and I’m expecting big performances from both offenses.

Charles M: Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, and Chris Godwin all over 100 receiving yards (+900)

Go big or go home. Let’s have a shootout.

Charles C: Patrick Mahomes to record 300+ passing yards, Leonard Fournette to record 50+ rushing yards and Chris Godwin to record 80+ receiving yards (+450)

Love the odds, love how simple this seems, definitely going to lose some money on this one.
