Of the billions of dollars that will be wagered on the 2019 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, a significant portion will be placed on prop bets. You can make Super Bowl prop picks on just about anything, including whether Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine will be wearing a hat at the start of the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show (No -130) and how many times CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will call Rob Gronkowski "Gronk" (Over-Under 2.5). You can also make Super Bowl prop bets on whether the Patriots will make a return appearance to next year's big game (No -500). However, knowing where to find value in 2019 Super Bowl props and which ones to stay away from can be overwhelming with thousands of NFL picks available. That's why you want to see the top 2019 Super Bowl picks and prop bets from the team of Vegas experts and NFL insiders at SportsLine before locking in any of your own.
SportsLine has gathered its top NFL experts and handicappers, a group that has been covering the NFL and the wagering industry for decades. Here's the lineup: Oddsmaker Kenny White, longtime head of Las Vegas Sports Consultants; Micah Roberts, former Station Casinos sportsbook director; rising handicapper Zack Cimini; big-game prop specialist Josh Nagel (33-14 on props); renowned sportswriter Mike Tierney; and No. 1 NFL expert R.J. White, who cashed big in last year's Las Vegas SuperContest. You can see their top 30 picks only at SportsLine.
One of the top 2019 Super Bowl prop bets that White is recommending: The Patriots will record more first downs than the Rams at -110 odds (risk $110 to win $100), even though an initial look at both teams' stats suggests otherwise.
"The Rams rank first in picking up first downs this season, outpacing the Patriots 401-365 in the statistic. So why am I taking New England?" White told SportsLine. "The Patriots' shift to a ground-and-pound team that focuses on running the ball with Sony Michel and getting short completions in the passing game, especially without Josh Gordon, has caused them to blow out teams in this stat the second half of the year, including 30-22 and 36-18 in their playoff games."
Another one of the top 2019 Super Bowl prop bets: Tierney says the Patriots will finish with more penalty yards than the Rams for a solid +170 payout (risk $100 to win $170).
The regular season numbers for the last two years indicate that the Rams are more prone to racking up penalty yards than the Patriots, which is likely the justification for pricing the Rams at -200 (risk $200 to win $100). However, recent postseason trends indicate that the Patriots could be the more penalized team in terms of yardage lost.
"In their two postseason outings, the Patriots have been flagged twice as much as their opponents, so the officials do not always favor them," Tierney told SportsLine. "For a single game, the odds here are way too lopsided." The Patriots had 68 penalty yards to the Chiefs' 21 last game and 75 in the divisional round compared to the Chargers' 33.
White and SportsLine's other elite experts also pounded on several props with big plus-money payouts, including one with a colossal 16-1 return. You can see which props to jump on only at SportsLine.
