Sunday’s Super Bowl is technically the Chiefs versus the Buccaneers; for historians, it’s really Tom Brady vs. Patrick Mahomes.
The odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com have posted a list of 40 different odds and props for the two signal callers.
Some of Brady’s most intriguing props are: odds to score a TD (+350), MVP (+250), Brady shown before Mahomes during the National Anthem (-150) and Brady’s odds to lead the Bucs to a score on the first drive (+350) – amazingly Brady has never put up points in an opening drive in any of his nine Super Bowl appearances.
For Mahomes fans, highlights include: longest pass 26.5 yards, 11.5 rushing yards, announcers mention his father Pat before Brady’s wife Giselle (+200), and Tony Romo accidentally calling him Pat (+1500.)
