The Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) meet the Philadelphia Eagles (16-3) at Super Bowl LVII Sunday. Kickoff from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., is at 6:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s odds for Boston Scott’s Super Bowl prop bets, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Boston Scott is part of a crowded Philadelphia Eagles running back room, but he proved that there is more than enough ball to go around.
Scott has a rushing TD in both playoff games and has found the end zone on the ground in 4 of his last 5 games overall. Still, he is a complementary piece, and not a feature back. It’s a huge roll of the dice betting props on Scott, although I tend to like his potential a little more than fellow reserve RB Kenneth Gainwell.

Boston Scott 2023 Super Bowl prop bets
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 5:49 a.m. ET.
Rushing yards: OVER 8.5 (-115)
This is a slam-dunk play. Scott hasn’t had double-digit touches at any point this season, but he generally makes the most of his opportunities.
Scott rushed 6 times for 21 yards in the NFC Championship Game, and his touchdown came late in the first half and not in garbage time. The same holds true for the NFC Divisional Round score against the Giants, as his TD made it 21-0 in the first half.
He has rushed for 21 or more yards in 3 straight games, including both postseason tilts, and has had 8 or more rushing yards in 7 of the past 8 games overall. It’s amazing that this total is so low. Take advantage.
Take OVER 8.5 (-115).

Touchdown(s)
- Anytime (+350) | 2+: (+4000) | 3+: (+15000)
I don’t love Scott to see a ton of touches, but he has made an impact in both playoff games and has found paydirt in 4 of his last 5 games overall.
He is well down the pecking order behind Sanders, Hurts and perhaps even Gainwell for touches, but he has made the most of his chances. For a chance to multiply your potential return by 3 1/2 times, Scott is worth a small-unit play.
ANYTIME (+350) is worth a look.
Rushing yards
- 40+: (+1050)
Scott isn’t going to see enough carries to hit this number, or come anywhere near it. He had 54 rushing yards in the regular-season finale against the Giants, but that’s the only time he had 34 or more rushing yards in any of his 13 regular-season games or 2 postseason appearances.
AVOID.
