Only on Super Bowl Sunday could you be watching Pittsburgh Penguins-Washington Capitals during the day because you need more shots on goal from Alex Ovechkin than catches by Emmanuel Sanders.

The cross-sport prop market on Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most fun, as the sporting events outside of the big game change every year. Whether it's college basketball, NBA, NHL, or even the Oscars, there are plenty of cross-sport props that tie into the headliner when the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here are the best for Sunday:

George Kittle's and Travis Kelce's receiving yards +10.5 vs. total combined points in St. John's-Georgetown

With how much action typically comes in on the overs in the player prop markets, it's wise to wait on numbers. However, Kelce and Kittle are the two best tight ends in the league and can shatter their receiving-yard totals of 76.5 and 70.5, respectively. And you're not in bad shape even if they hover right around that number. Georgetown started the year with plenty of track meets, going over the total in seven of its first 10. The Hoyas have since slowed down a bit, going under in six of their last eight with an average combined score of roughly 145 points. I'd recommend rooting for the tight ends in this prop.

James Harden -7.5 points against Pelicans vs. first-half points in Chiefs-49ers

This is a prop I recommended taking as early as possible, and I'd still play at the current price. The first-half under is a Super Bowl play that some smarter bettors hit last week, so I'm content with tying it in, especially with the upside on the other end of the prop. The New Orleans Pelicans' defense is one of the worst in the league and allows the seventh-most points per game to point guards. For a player who's already averaging north of 36 per contest, Harden's the look in this spot.

Carey Price's saves (-120) vs. Patrick Mahomes' rushing yards

If you've been keeping tabs on our Super Bowl coverage so far, you know how hard I'm fading Mahomes on the ground. I think his odds to score the first touchdown are inflated, as is his longest rush prop. San Francisco's defense allowed an average of 21.1 rushing yards per game to quarterbacks this season. Mahomes' stock is likely at its peak after he ran for 53 yards in back-to-back postseason contests. I like Price's saves to be higher, with the Montreal Canadiens on the second game of a back-to-back Sunday against a Columbus Blue Jackets offense that's No. 12 in the NHL in shots on goal per contest.

Raheem Mostert -0.5 carries vs. Zion Williamson's points

Until Williamson starts to see a full workload, we'll likely see his point total somewhere in the 14-to-16 range. He erupted during the fourth quarter of his debut against the San Antonio Spurs to surpass his total of 13.5 and pushed the following game against the Denver Nuggets when he posted 14. As for Mostert, he carried the ball a whopping 29 times in the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers with fellow running back Tevin Coleman sidelined with a dislocated shoulder. The 49ers have leaned on the ground game all year and figure to play keep-away from the Chiefs' offense. They should also be able to move the ball against a Kansas City defense that's one of the worst at defending the run. Look for Mostert to win this prop.

Pascal Siakam's points + rebounds (-110) vs. Jimmy Garoppolo's passing attempts

I love Siakam in this spot, as he's been on a tear lately. The 2020 All-Star Game starter has at least 18 points in each of the last four games and will match up with a Chicago Bulls defense that allows the most points in the league to opposing power forwards. This gets a bit tricky if Garoppolo is forced to play catch-up early. But if San Francisco can control the clock, the offense will keep it on the ground as much as possible, just as it did two weeks ago against Green Bay when the quarterback threw the ball only eight times.
