Super Bowl LVI cross-sport props: Will NHL goals outpace Burrow's completions?

If you haven't already filled your Super Bowl LVI props sheet with enough to keep you entertained, we've got you covered with a host of cross-sport props that'll hold your attention even after the big game is over.

Here's our lean on every cross-sport prop offered at theScore Bet ahead of the Rams-Bengals clash on Sunday:

(All events on Feb. 13 unless noted otherwise.)

Total NHL goals vs. Joe Burrow completions

The wrong side is favored here. Burrow’s total number of completions is the less volatile side of this wager, as he has a smaller range of outcomes. His line is currently set at 24.5, with the juice shaded toward the under. The likeliest number is 24 here, give or take a few completions. With the Burrow side favored by 1.5, that means there would have to be 22 or fewer goals - give or take - scored in Sunday’s four NHL games.

On average this season there have been 6.1 goals scored per game, up from last season’s mark of 5.88. While the range of outcomes for each game is obviously wide, with there being four games we are still likelier to finish closer to the mean than if there was just one. That means, generally speaking, we should see 24.4 goals scored, or close to it.

With the likeliest outcome for both sides being 24, the easy bet here is to take +1.5 at even money.

Pick: Total NHL goals +1.5 (even)

Iowa men's basketball points vs. Ja'Marr Chase receiving yards

This is one of the harder bets on the board to back with any real confidence because both sides of the wager are so incredibly volatile. Chase averages 86.7 receiving yards per game, but he's recorded anywhere from three yards to 266 yards in his last seven games alone. Meanwhile, Iowa is a tick lower at 83.4 points per game, with totals ranging from 46 to 110.

That latter score came on Thursday, when the Hawkeyes blitzed Maryland behind Jordan Bohannon's school-record 10 triples. He's been the engine for Iowa's fourth-ranked offense by adjusted efficiency, which KenPom projects to score 89 points on Sunday against a beleaguered Nebraska defense.

Chase, meanwhile, is priced at just 80.5 yards at theScore Bet for Sunday's contest. He may struggle to even get there against a fierce Rams secondary, which can employ superstar corner Jalen Ramsey at a moment's notice if Chase becomes too big of a threat for the Bengals' passing game.

Pick: Iowa men's basketball points -6.5 (-115)

Penguins-Devils total goals vs. total touchdowns scored

With Tristan Jarry expected to start for the Penguins after getting the night off Thursday, and Jon Gillies likely to start for the Devils, we can project a total of six for Sunday’s meeting. The current line for total touchdowns scored in the Super Bowl is 5.5, with the under more heavily juiced. So why is the total touchdowns side favored here?

Regardless of how you think either the Penguins-Devils game or the Super Bowl plays out, there’s way too much value on the NHL total to pass up a bet here.

Pick: Penguins-Devils total goals +0.5 (-115)

Colorado State-Boise State men's basketball point differential vs. Rams-Bengals point differential

This is one of the most peculiar bets on the board, tasking bettors with handicapping whether either of these entirely unrelated events will result in a blowout.

The line for Colorado State vs. Boise State will likely settle around Broncos -4, which gives an early edge to that side of the wager when compared to the spread for the Super Bowl (Rams -4). All four of these teams are familiar with close games, too: the Rams and Bengals have won by three points in each of the last two rounds, while both hoops squads have had their fair share of close encounters as of late.

However, the nature of the NFL suggests the Super Bowl is far more likely to end in a 7-point margin (or even a 10- or 14-point margin) than a college basketball contest. Boise State's 16-point win on Saturday was its first result decided by more than seven points in its last seven games. Bank on a blowout in the big game.

Pick: Rams-Bengals point differential -1.5 (-130)

Liverpool total goals vs. Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford combined interceptions

This is probably the toughest market to cap, with the margins being so small. Burrow and Stafford are both favored to throw an interception, but the odds of both throwing one are around 35%. The odds of either throwing two aren’t high, but it does push the projected interception total for the game up.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are -400 favorites against Burnley with a total of three goals. The Reds are expected to score two goals and will do so most often if this game is played 100 times. The likeliest total for interceptions in this game is one, but one is only a little bit more likely than two. The lean here would be Liverpool’s total goals -0.5 (+100), but there’s really not an edge to be had for either side.

Pick: Pass
