Total 1st-half points by Panthers

Over 13.0 -110
Under 13.0 -110

The Panthers led the Seahawks 31-0 at halftime and the Cardinals 24-7. They don't waste time scoring points. Surpassing 13, even on the biggest stage against the NFL's top defense, shouldn't be much of an issue. - David P. Woods

Pick: Over 13.0 -110

Will there be a safety?

Yes +550
No -800

A prop write-off for years, the safety gained national attention when the ball was snapped over Peyton Manning's head in Super Bowl XLVIII. That was the first score of the game, but I wouldn't advise taking that much risk. With Manning on the field, the football gods are angling for a safety. Go with the gods. - Joe Thomson

Pick: Yes +550

Total number of different players to have a passing attempt

Over 2.5 +175
Under 2.5 -200

There are multiple ways this bet could pay off. With the bright lights shining, one team could decide to use a trick play to fool the defense and swing momentum in its favor. There's also the possibility that Peyton Manning gets hurt or struggles, forcing the Broncos to turn to Brock Osweiler. - Justin Boone

Pick: Over 2.5 +175

Total number of field goals made

Over 3.5 +105
Under 3.5 -125

With two top defenses going head-to-head, touchdowns are going to be tough to come by. Look for a number of drives to stall in opponents' territory as a result, leading to multiple field goals for both the Panthers and Broncos. - Dan Wilkins

Pick: Over 3.5 +175

First score of the game

Touchdown -150
Any other score +130

This isn't a ticket we can expect to cash after the first snap of the game like we saw two years ago, but both teams field respectable defenses and quality kickers that can connect from distance. As both sides feel each other out in the early moments of the game, don't be surprised to see a drive stall in field-goal range. - Gino Bottero

Pick: Any other score +130
