In addition to your basic NFL betting choices — the winner against the spread, the winner straight up with the moneyline and the point total — there are over 400 different Super Bowl LII prop bets that you can choose from with regards to Super Bowl LII. Some of them are even combination props, such as a comparison between the number of touchdowns that Philadelphia will score and the number of blocks that Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will register in his game the night before. This article features a number of different props that feature the Philadelphia Eagles and that we think represent sound plays for you.

Who will score first? New England (-145) / Philadelphia (+125)

Did you know that, in the seven Super Bowls that have featured Bill Belichick and Tom Brady for the Patriots, they have not scored any points in the first quarter? Not a single one. To be sure, they have come back to win most of them (except when they have faced the New York Giants). But in the early going, they tend to feel out the opposition. Given this moneyline, I’d definitely take the Eagles on this prop.

Who will win the MVP? Nick Foles (3/1), Jay Ajayi (15/1), Alshon Jeffery (30/1)

On the Patriots’ side of this wager, Tom Brady is the heavy favorite (1 / 2). However, Brady wasn’t the favorite in the AFC Championship, despite leading that fourth-quarter comeback. That honor went to Danny Amendola, who caught both of Brady’s touchdown passes in the last frame. If the Eagles can pull off this upset, you can rake in a lot of extra value by considering one of these options. If Foles has another huge night, he’ll get the trophy — quarterbacks have gotten the vast majority of the Super Bowl MVP awards. Jay Ajayi could tear up the Patriots, but they’ve done a good job stopping the run in the second half of the regular season and the postseason. Plus, it’s been 20 years since a running back earned the MVP trophy in a Super Bowl. But what about Alshon Jeffery? If he can haul in a couple of touchdown passes, perhaps including the game-winner, then he could get the trophy — and you would walk away with a lot of cash.

Will the Eagles (+4 or +4.5) cover the spread?

New England has never won a Super Bowl by more than six points — and that came last year, when their overtime touchdown proved to be the final margin of victory. Unless Nick Foles falls apart and starts throwing out interceptions like Halloween candy, the Philadelphia defense should keep this close — and the holes in the New England secondary should give the Eagles some opportunities. I see this game coming down to the final possession — which means that your margin would be three or four at most. I jumped on this when the spread was still 5 ½ points — but I’d still take it where it is now.

How many passes will Nelson Agholor catch? (O/U 3.5)

Let’s say that New England can find ways to take Zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffery out of the game. Agholor hasn’t done a whole lot in the playoffs yet, but he should find himself open with those other two receivers taking the bulk of the Patriots’ attention. Going over on this prop could turn into a wise move.

How many times will Nick Foles throw the ball? (O/U 34.5)

If this total goes over, it won’t be good for the Eagles, because it likely will mean that they are playing from behind and that their running game has been absolutely bottled up. Against New York and Oakland, he had 38 attempts in each game — and the running game struggled. Against Atlanta in the divisional round, he attempted 30 passes, as the running game was able to provide some balance. Against Minnesota in the NFC Championship, he attempted 33 passes — but the Vikings’ run defense is better than New England’s. I recommend the “under” on this prop.
