Player props are a massive (and still growing) market in Super Bowl betting action.

Super Bowl player props span from your standard markets, like passing and rushing yards, to anytime touchdown scorers, interceptions, and just about every statistic you can think of.

If it’s on the box score, there's most likely a market for it.

Player props for Super Bowl 59 won't be released until the matchup is set, but we'll break down what to expect when the time comes.

Super Bowl Player prop odds

Super Bowl player props will be available at virtually every sportsbook where you can bet on the biggest football game of the year.

Touchdown prop odds

The Super Bowl touchdown props market is arguably the most popular prop market going, perhaps due to its simplicity: If the player you back scores a touchdown (or multiple TDs), you win.

Some sportsbooks even offer futures on touchdown props that bettors can take long before the teams are known. While anytime TD markets are popular, you can find longer odds on Super Bowl first touchdown props if you're looking for a bigger payout.

Passing prop odds

Passing props markets are for the quarterbacks, with Over/Under totals for markets such as:

  • Passing yards
  • Passing attempts
  • Passing touchdowns
  • Interceptions
  • Longest Completion

There will also be milestone (or alt-total) markets for TDs and yards, allowing you to wager if you think a player will have an extra big game!

Rushing prop odds

The most popular rushing prop is betting the Over/Under for a running back's total rushing yards — but you can also bet on:

  • Over/Under rushing attempts
  • Over/Under rushing touchdowns
  • Over/Under longest rushing attempt
  • Milestones for attempts, yards, longest rush, and TDs

Receiving prop odds

Incorporation wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, and sometimes even the QB, common receiving props markets include:

  • Over/Under receiving yards
  • Over/Under receptions made
  • Over/Under receiving touchdowns
  • Over/Under longest receptions
  • Most receiving yards in the game
  • Milestones for receptions, yards, longest reception, and TDs

Kicking prop odds

Kicking props usually include:

  • Over/Under total points scored by the kicker (three points for made field goals and one point for made extra-point attempts)
  • Over/Under for the total amount of field goals made
  • Over/Under Longest field goal made

Defensive props

Defensive props include the things that defenders do to impact the game, such as tackles, sacks, and interceptions.
