Super Bowl 52 Prop Bets: Defense
The old saying that defence wins championships is true. However, for Super Bowl 52 prop bets, it may not win people money.
The odds aren’t astronomical that a defensive player will win a Super Bowl MVP award. It happened a couple years ago when Malcolm Smith of the Seahawks secured the honor.
More often than not, however, it is quarterbacks that walk away with the award. QBs have been honored 28 times. Running backs and receivers are the next big winners at 13. Though defensive players are hot on their trail with 11 wins.
The real prop bet to make money on this season is not putting up money on the Super Bowl MVP being a defensive player but perhaps looking at some other defense-strict prop bets from BetOnline.
The player most likely to cause a turnover through the air is a good place to start, considering how much Tom Brady and Nick Foles like to air the ball out. Stephon Gilmore has the best odds of pulling down an opposing team’s pass during the Super Bowl. His moneyline is set at +360.
