MVP odds, 1st look at player props for Super Bowl LVIII

The Super Bowl is still 13 days away, but it's never too early to look at all the odds already available for the 49ers-Chiefs showdown in Las Vegas.

The game line initially opened with San Francisco as 2.5-point favorites, but that's already been bet down to -1 - essentially a coin flip.

The total opened at 47.5, and it appears oddsmakers got that one right, as it remains at that number for now.

But before odds on what color Gatorade will get dumped on the winning coach or how long it'll take the anthem singer to finish "The Star-Spangled Banner," let's look at some of the most popular markets' opening lines.

Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win his third Super Bowl MVP. If you believe the Chiefs will win, you may be better off backing Mahomes at +130 to claim MVP instead of the Kansas City moneyline at -105 and hope to dodge huge games from Travis Kelce or Isiah Pacheco.

Brock Purdy is the top option of any 49ers player, with Christian McCaffrey close behind. Purdy's never received the credit he's due because of all the talent around him and Kyle Shannan's masterful offensive scheme. If you think that trend may continue in the Super Bowl, backing McCaffrey or Deebo Samuel may be the play.

McCaffrey is -230 to score anytime, which equates to an absurd implied probability of 69.7%. However, he scored in 15 of 18 games this season for a hit rate of 83.3%, so perhaps -230 is a valuable price.

Mahomes is expected to throw for more yardage than Purdy in the Super Bowl, but both have the same odds of tossing over 1.5 touchdowns.

Mahomes is averaging 239.3 passing yards per game in these playoffs after throwing for 261.4 per contest during the regular season. Purdy posted a 267.5 per-game average in the regular season and is at 259.5 in the postseason.
