There are all sorts of bets that you can place on this Monday’s (AEDT) Super Bowl clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, including longshot wagers that offer big returns for minimal outlay. Of course, these bets have a low likelihood of hitting, but if you hit one or two of these, it can be a profitable venture. Here are our best longshot bets for Super Bowl 57.
Super Bowl 57 MVP: Chris Jones
Chris Jones is one of the best defensive players in the league. He is a certified game-breaker for the Chiefs and will almost certainly have a big impact on this contest. While the Super Bowl MVP is usually given to the winning team’s quarterback, there is a realistic situation where Jones could win it. Essentially, he would have to get two or more sacks in a low-scoring game where the Chiefs prevail. While this game will likely be a high-scoring affair, these defences are capable and they could slow down these powerhouse offences. Jones has 17.5 sacks in 18 games this year and should add to that tally here. If he can do enough, and Patrick Mahomes doesn’t play to his normal standard, this bet will be in play.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson total interceptions: Over 0.5
C.J. Gardner-Johnson is quickly becoming one of the most valuable defenders in the league. This season, Gardner-Johnson had six interceptions and he always seems to be around the ball. While his opposing QB is the best in the business, Mahomes does have a tendency to throw picks simply due to him testing defences. Although Mahomes is yet to throw a pick in this postseason, he threw 12 in the regular season and the Chiefs could throw a ton in this game. If there’s an errant pass, there’s a good chance Gardner-Johnson will come down with it, and at +750 with BetOnline, we like his odds.
Gardner-Johnson over 0.5 interceptions
Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer: Skyy Moore
Skyy Moore hasn’t really made an impact this year, but that could change this Sunday. The Chiefs have two receivers who have already been ruled out for the big game and they have another receiver who is questionable to play. Their unit is severely hurt and that will give Moore a chance to step up. While the rookie hasn’t caught a touchdown yet in his young career, he does get designed touches for the Chiefs’ offence and should be a part of the game plan. Getting a starting Chiefs receiver to score a touchdown at +600 is always a great bet.

Super Bowl 57 first touchdown scorer: Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce is the best tight end in football, and Mahomes’ favourite target. Kelce has caught the first touchdown in each of Kansas City’s two playoff games and it’s clear the Chiefs like to get him involved in the early stages. Kelce has 15 touchdowns this year and has very short odds to grab one in this game. If the Chiefs are going to win, Kelce will have a big impact, and considering their desire to feed Kelce in the beginning of the game, this is a great bet.
Kelce first touchdown
Jalen Hurts total touchdowns: 2+
Jalen Hurts’ legs have really elevated his play this season. The Philadelphia quarterback has 15 rushing touchdowns this year and should be active on the ground again in this battle. His rushing ability is truly an X-factor and the Eagles could choose to let him run the ball more than normal in this game. Hurts has three games with multiple rushing touchdowns this season and we think it could happen again here.
Hurts +2 touchdowns
Philadelphia Eagles total sacks: Over 5.5
The Eagles have the best defensive line in the league and possess a unique ability to destroy opponents with their pass rush. The Eagles sacked opposing quarterbacks 70 times this year during the regular season; that is 15 more than the next-best team, the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chiefs have a solid offensive line, Mahomes will be fighting through an ankle injury that could limit his mobility. If his ankle gets re-injured, Mahomes will have a tough time evading the pass rush and this bet could be in play. At +900 with the top NFL betting sites, this is a solid bet on one of the best defensive units in the NFL.
Eagles over 5.5 sacks
