Saquon Barkley is attracting significant betting interest ahead of the Super Bowl, with sportsbooks noting higher wagers on him than on notable Chiefs players like Mahomes. Barkley leads player prop wagers, with around 20% of bets on him at ESPN BET. His odds for MVP are second only to Mahomes, and he is the first non-quarterback to have the shortest MVP odds for his team in two decades. The over/under for his rushing yards is set high at 110.5, a mark not seen for a Super Bowl player in 15 years.
The early betting action on the Super Bowl winner has been balanced enough between the favored Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles that, late in the week, some sportsbooks weren't sure which team they will be rooting for Sunday.
Approximately 20% of Super Bowl player prop wagers have been on Barkley at ESPN BET, more than any other player, and more money has been bet on the Eagles star running back than on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce combined.
Barkley is the most popular bet to win Super Bowl MVP at Caesars Sportsbook, despite historic odds for a running back. Barkley has the second-shortest odds (+250) to win MVP, behind only Mahomes (+120) at ESPN BET.
The over/under on Barkley's rushing yards was sitting at 110.5 on Friday at ESPN BET. He is the first player with a Super Bowl rushing prop over 100 yards in more than 15 years.
If he does happen to score, limiting it to just one would be a help to us as well.
