Here, we give special teams the attention it deserves by breaking down the Super Bowl special teams props for this Chiefs vs Eagles rematch.

Super Bowl LIX Special Teams Props
Special teams is broken into three main parts: field goal kicking, punting, and kick returning. Here, we look at props concerning all three of those areas of special teams. The odds for the below props are from DraftKings Sportsbook, though bettors can look at other top sports betting sites to compare pricing.
Field Goals Made
| Player | Made FGs | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harrison Butker | 1.5 | -144 | +116 |
| Jake Elliott | 1.5 | +108 | -134 |
The big question when it comes to field goal props in this game is whether or not these teams will get into scoring range before getting slowed down by the opposing defense enough for the kickers to make two or more field goals. So far in the playoffs, both of these kickers have averaged two made field goals per game. The over on both of them seems like the way to go in their field goal over/under props.
Kicking Points
| Player | Points | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harrison Butker | 7.5 | -124 | +100 |
| Jake Elliott | 6.5 | -132 | +107 |
The kicking points prop for both kickers in this game hinges on whether or not you think each kicker will get to two made field goals. Since we think that both men are going over the 1.5 field goal mark in this game, it stands to reason that we also think they will go over their kicking points numbers as they will both do their part to help their teams put points on the board both through field goals and extra points.
Longest and Shortest Made Field Goal
| Market | Yards | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Longest Made Field Goal | 47.5 | -105 | -115 |
| Shortest Made Field Goal | 26.5 | -110 | -110 |
The longest made field goal market is interesting for this game, as the Chiefs haven’t had to try any long field goals with Butker this postseason. Meanwhile, Elliott has really struggled from long distance. As a result, we will take the under on the longest field goal at 47.5 yards as one of our favorite Super Bowl special teams props for this game.
Total Punts
| Team | Punts | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combined Total Punts | 6.5 | -115 | -110 |
We love the over on total punts in this game at 6.5 total punts. The assumption going into this game will be that both offenses will have as easy a time as they did against each other in Super Bowl LVII, where the final score was 38-35. But we don’t think that will be the case, as our Super Bowl over/under pick is for this game to stay under its total of 48.5 points. Look for both teams to do their share of punting and for the number of total punts to reach at least seven.
Punt/Kick Return Props
| Market | TDs | Over Odds | Under Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Punt Return TDs | 0.5 | +1300 | -4000 |
Our final special teams prop ahead of Super Bowl 59 concerns whether or not there will be a punt return touchdown in the game. There is very little chance of a punt return being taken back for a score in this contest. But with the under option here at a whopping -4000, requiring bettors to wager $4,000 to win a profit of $100, there isn’t any real value in playing this market going into the Super Bowl.
