Mahomes Prop Again Dominating Super Bowl Public Betting

It’s certainly understandable why Mahomes is getting the love of the people in the best NFL player props. This will be his fourth Super Bowl game. In two of the three previous contests, he’s gone over 1.5 TD passes.

It’s 49ers QB Brock Purdy holding down the spot as the second-most wagered Super Bowl player prop in terms of public betting. However, it’s Purdy’s legs, not his arm, that the people are backing. At a betting line of -125, the splits are going with Purdy continuing his successful playoff run. Or should that be runs?
