While the passing game is the more glamorous way to move the ball on offense, running the ball is the staple of any offense, from the preseason all the way to the Super Bowl. In Super Bowl LVIII, several elite rushers will be featured in the prop betting markets. Here, we break down each of the main Super Bowl rushing props and make our picks in each of them.
Super Bowl LVIII Rushing Props
There are a few main rushing props that we will cover in this preview. Those are rushing yardage props, rush attempts props, and the market for the longest run in this year’s Super Bowl. Bettors can find odds from DraftKings Sportsbook for all three of those prop genres below, along with our predictions for each of them.
Rushing Yards
| Player | Rush Yards | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brock Purdy | 12.5 | -110 | -120 |
| Christian McCaffrey | 89.5 | -120 | -110 |
| Deebo Samuel | 13.5 | -125 | -105 |
| Isiah Pacheco | 67.5 | -125 | -105 |
| Patrick Mahomes | 25.5 | -120 | -110 |
Right off the bat, it is worth looking at the overs for both Chiefs rushers listed above. Patrick Mahomes is a pocket passer for most of the season, but his willingness to put himself on the line in the playoffs makes him an interesting choice for his rushing yardage prop here. Isiah Pacheco’s over is also intriguing here, as the Chiefs will likely lean more heavily on him than many bettors would anticipate given the reputation of the Kansas City offense.
Rush Attempts
| Player | Rush Attempts | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brock Purdy | 3.5 | +130 | N/A |
| Christian McCaffrey | 18.5 | -125 | -105 |
| Elijah Mitchell | 1.5 | -115 | -115 |
| Isiah Pacheco | 16.5 | -125 | -120 |
| Patrick Mahomes | 4.5 | -125 | -105 |
We like one over and one under when it comes to rushing attempts in Super Bowl LVIII. The over is that of Pacheco, who should be utilized to salt this game away, if our handicap in favor of the Chiefs ends up coming to fruition. On the flip side, we expect Christian McCaffrey to go under his rushing attempts total, as the Niners are likely to have to put the ball in the air down the stretch rather than putting the ball in the hands of McCaffrey.
Longest Run
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Christian McCaffrey | -150 |
| Isiah Pacheco | +250 |
| Patrick Mahomes | +1100 |
| Deebo Samuel | +1500 |
| Brock Purdy | +2200 |
| Kadarius Toney | +2500 |
| Jordan Mason | +3500 |
| Clyde Edwards-Helaire | +5500 |
| Elijah Mitchell | +6000 |
| Skyy Moore | +10000 |
| George Kittle | +10000 |
| Ray-Ray McCloud | +10000 |
| Kyle Juszczyk | +10000 |
The market for who will have the longest run in the Super Bowl will be a fascinating one, as there are two main contenders to come out on top. While Christian McCaffrey and Isiah Pacheco are the top-two choices to finish as the winner here, someone like Deebo Samuel could be an interesting choice instead. We will back Pacheco here, but bettors should at least keep an open mind in this market.
