During Super Bowl 60, the Seattle Seahawks decisively defeated the New England Patriots with a score of 29-13, comfortably exceeding the 4.5-point betting margin. Seattle held a 9-0 lead at halftime and maintained it throughout the contest. The total points for the match remained below 45.5, despite a late surge that nearly pushed it over.
Those setting the betting lines had hoped for a dull, defensively focused encounter, which largely materialized; numerous same-game parlays fell flat because neither Jaxson Smith-Njigba nor Kenneth Walker III scored a touchdown.
While countless wagering opportunities were available for the championship event, the following five intriguing proposition bets proved successful:
Kenneth Walker III Secures Super Bowl LX MVP Award (+550)
Walker served as the primary offensive force for the Seahawks, accumulating 135 yards from 27 rushing attempts and an additional 20 receiving yards. He represented Seattle’s most reliable offensive option during an evening when prominent wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba managed just four receptions for 27 yards — despite Walker III not scoring.
At BetMGM, Walker attracted the third-highest number of bets and overall monetary value for the MVP honor, yet he did not rank among the top five financial risks due to his relatively low odds.
Walker’s achievement marks the first instance of a running back receiving the Super Bowl MVP accolade since Terrell Davis of the Denver Broncos accomplished it in Super Bowl XXXII.
Kenneth Walker III Exceeds 70.5 Rushing Yards
The proposition bet concerning Walker’s rushing yardage saw significant action from both expert and casual bettors in the days preceding the Super Bowl. Initiating at 78.5 at BetMGM, the line decreased to 70.5 by game time, with 63% of all wagers and 77% of the total funds placed on the under outcome.
Walker surpassed that specific benchmark during the second quarter, ultimately accumulating 135 rushing yards and earning the MVP title for the game.
Aggregate Punts Surpass 7.5
While not heavily favored by general bettors, this particular wager also paid out early, leading to an astonishing 15 punts throughout the match. Michael Dickson, the Seahawks’ punter, delivered several exemplary kicks among his seven attempts, placing three within the 20-yard line. Bryce Baringer, the Patriots’ punter, personally exceeded this threshold, punting eight times following five three-and-outs by New England (though Baringer did not punt during the fourth quarter).
Mack Hollins Exceeds 25.5 Receiving Yards
This specific proposition bet saw a considerable shift, starting at 30.5 receiving yards and dropping to 25.5 due to informed betting at various sportsbooks. Despite this adjustment, a significantly larger volume of public funds favored the over, with 90% of wagers and 95% of the total amount staked on that outcome.
Ultimately, Hollins emerged as New England’s primary receiver, securing four catches for 78 yards, thereby comfortably surpassing the set figure.
Hunter Henry’s Receiving Yards (-6.5) Versus Anthony Edwards’ Points
Wagers spanning multiple sports frequently add excitement to the Super Bowl, and given Edwards’ less-than-stellar performance of 23 points in Sunday afternoon’s 115-96 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, Henry only required 30 receiving yards to secure this specific prop bet.
Henry ultimately accumulated 31 receiving yards across three receptions, narrowly clinching the payout.
