Super Bowl Tips
There are a lot of expert tipsters who will tell you their picks for Super Bowl LIX. If you want specific picks then head to our NFL tips page. Below are our tips for those who are betting on NFL for the first time at the Super Bowl.
These tips are designed to help you understand what you should consider before placing any bet. Of course, it all starts with a little bit of research!
Do your research – This is the biggest Super Bowl tip anyone will ever give you. It’s vital to do some research on the game.. Look at everything from form guides to the injury status of key players. For instance, Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts played the NFC Championship Game (basically, the semi-final of the NFL playoffs) with a knee brace. His fitness is a concern for the big game against Kansas City, and it could affect your betting choices.
Look at past results – NFL teams change every season but rarely are the changes wholesale. Therefore a team that has beaten their Super Bowl opponents in each of their last four meetings probably has the edge here. So, heading into Super Bowl 59, the Eagles beat the Chiefs in the 2023 regular season 21-17. But Kansas City beat Philadelphia 38-35 at Super Bowl 57.
Study the form – The two most common types of Super Bowl winners are teams who dominate the whole season, and teams who peak in the playoffs. Look at the form, how both teams have played since Thanksgiving, and where the weaknesses are. Kansas City lost their last regular season game and have struggled through their two playoff games to date. Philadelphia had a worse regular-season record but came into the playoffs having won two straight games, edged the Lions, and then crushed Washington 55-23. They are, arguably, the in-form team.
Use Paddy’s Power Price – Paddy has Power Prices on loads of outcomes during the Super Bowl, so you can squeeze a bigger profit potential from your stake. Make use of these odds boosts while you can!
Look for promos – We run Super Bowl betting promotions every season, including boosted odds. Be sure to check out the Paddy Power Promos page in the lead-up to the big game.
Super Bowl most popular bets
Betting on Super Bowl games can feel a little daunting if you don’t know all the terminology. Experts tend to forget their audience and will dive into the jargon, which can feel a little alienating.
So, if you’re new to NFL betting then we suggest keeping things simple. Here, then, are some of the most standard and popular bets to make on the Super Bowl:
Game winner – This is the bet most newcomers gravitate towards. It’s a simple bet on who will win the Super Bowl. Remember to select whether you think the game will be won in regulation time, or overtime. For Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs are 1.73 favourites to beat the Eagles (2.10).

Handicaps – This is a really good bet type if you think the game is going to be one-sided. Here, you ‘handicap’ the final score by adding or subtracting from a team’s score. For example, you could back Kansas City to win with -1.5 points. Doing this means you get better odds (as you can see here). The Chiefs need to win by two points or more for you to win your bet!
Kansas City have a -1.5 handicap in the Super Bowl
Total points – Bet on the game as a whole to feature more or fewer than a set points line. If the line is 49.5, for example, you can bet above or below that line.
The Super Bowl total points line sits at 49.5
Anytime touchdown scorers – This is a great bet when backing receivers and running backs, especially if their QB teammate has a deadly arm. The anytime market means you don’t have to rely on them scoring first. So long as your chosen player scores, you win your bet.

Both teams to score X points – If you don’t know who to bet on, you could back both teams to succeed. Bet on both teams to score a minimum amount of points during the game and celebrate touchdowns at either end of the field.
BTTS bet on the Super Bowl is available at Paddy Power
A touchdown each in both halves – Three of the last five Super Bowls have seen both teams score at least one touchdown in each half. It’s always a decent bet to make.

Super Bowl special bets
There’s no shortage of special bets at the Super Bowl. After all, this is the biggest game in American Football betting and we like to have a bit of fun with the odds. The game gets even more attention with a pop superstar like Taylor Swift having her boyfriend playing for one of the teams.
Paddy Power offers extensive Super Bowl special bets alongside all the core markets. These bets are tailored to the big game so you might not see them during the rest of the season.
Here are some Super Bowl special odds to keep an eye on:
MVP – Bet on who will be the MVP of the Super Bowl. The MVP is almost always the winning quarterback, although wide receivers can also pick up the award if they score more than one touchdown.
Player Stats – Paddy Power offers a hoard of alternative stats for the biggest players in the Super Bowl. For example, you can bet on how many yards a QB will gain, the distance of a line backer’s longest pass reception, or even a player to score before half time.
Coin toss – Who doesn’t love betting on the coin toss? If you really can’t make up your mind on who will win the Super Bowl then the coin toss could be the wager for you.
Super Bowl halftime show – Bet on what might happen in the Super Bowl halftime show. Check Paddy’s NFL betting page for the latest markets.
Super Bowl Bet Builder
Paddy Power is also the home of the Super Bowl Bet Builder, where you can create your perfect NFL acca on the big game. A bet builder allows you to add multiple selections to one big bet and avoid any clashes. It’s basically an in-game accumulator that grows every time you add a pick.
For example, you could bet on:
- Chiefs to win
- +49.5 total points
- Travis Kelce scores first TD
If you bet on these odds individually then your payout would be less than if you throw all three picks together in one big bet. All three have to win in order for you to win, but your payout from a £10 bet is £227.78.
Paddy Power’s Super Bowl bet builder
The beauty of Paddy Power’s Bet Builder is you can’t accidentally clash a pick. So, you can’t bet on Kansas City and Philadelphia to win. That means you’re less likely to make a mistake when crafting your perfect bet.
