The 2022 FIFA World Cup final features the tournament's top four scorers, and they are among the many options prop bettors can back on Sunday. France's Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi of Argentina are the Golden Boot co-leaders with five goals. Les Bleus veteran Olivier Giroud and La Albiceleste youngster Julian Alvarez have scored four apiece. But France and Argentina both posted clean sheets in the semifinals. So will it be a goal-fest Sunday, or can the defenses keep the scorers in check? Messi has the shortest odds to score at any time in the match, priced at +170 at Caesars Sportsbook. He is followed by Mbappe (+188), Giroud (+275) and Alvarez (+275). Unlikely players like France's Theo Hernandez (+1200) and Argentina's Nahuel Molina (+2000) also have scored in Qatar, so who should you back?
Kickoff is set for Sunday at 10 a.m. ET. Argentina are slight +160 favorites (risk $100 to win $160) on the 90-minute money line at Caesars Sportsbook, with France priced at +185 and a draw listed at +200. Caesars also offers dozens of other player props, as well as final-score wagers and first- and second-half props, among many others.

Top 2022 FIFA World Cup final prop picks
One of Eimer's top 2022 World Cup final picks: He's backing Messi as an anytime goal scorer (+170) in what is likely the all-time great's final appearance on the sport's biggest stage. The 35-year-old is gunning for the Golden Boot -- and the crowning achievement for his illustrious career. He has 11 goals in 25 World Cup matches, but Argentina have played for the title just once, losing to Germany in 2014. Messi has scored 15 goals in Argentina's past 10 matches in all competitions.
He has won 40 career trophies, but the 2021 Copa America is his only one with Argentina. He will do everything he can to change that Sunday. Eimer loves the fact that Messi is the team's penalty-taker and is one of the best in the world from the spot. France yielded two penalties against England, and Messi's quick feet can twist up defenders and leave them flailing in the box. Les Bleus have issues on defense, so Messi should get on the board one way or another. You can see the rest of Eimer's prop bet picks here.
