Super Bowl Sacks Prop Odds, Predictions & Over Under Odds 2024

Super Bowl sack prop bets are a staple at all of the best sportsbooks, and the wager is also one of the most popular Super Bowl prop bets available.

There are plenty of markets among the Super Bowl odds for those who like defensive-minded prop bets.

Most of our sports betting siteshave been capitalizing on the steadily growing popularity of Super Bowl sack odds, expanding beyond just one or two must-have markets and providing customers with plenty of selection.

Odds haven't been posted yet for 2024, though premier 49ers pass-rusher Nick Bosa is listed near the top of our Super Bowl MVP odds. Let's look back at Super Bowl 57 to get an idea of how the market works.

Super Bowl sacks props

Player to record most sacks

This is a simple market to figure out, similar to any other group betting wager. Simply select the player you think will record the most sacks in the Super Bowl – and if you're correct, you win.

Sacks were at a premium in Super Bowl 57, with Kansas City recording two and the Eagles failing to notch any. Leo Chenal and Khalen Saunders notched the game's only sacks.

Super Bowl sacks Over/Under

Bettors will get three main Super Bowl sack prop totals at their disposal from the majority of the best sports betting apps: Each individual team's sack number, and then the combined sack tally.

The Under dominated during Super Bowl 57. The two combined sacks fell well short of the consensus total of 5.5, while the Chiefs and Eagles both cashed the Under on 2.5 for their team totals.

That result ran in stark contrast to how the teams fared during the regular season. Philadelphia set a team record with a whopping 70 sacks in 17 games, 15 more than runner-up Kansas City.

Most sacks/first sack

It isn't just about predicting whether both Super Bowl defenses will make life miserable for the opposing quarterbacks. You can also wager on which team will do it better.

The Chiefs converted the double here while recording the only two sacks of the game during Super Bowl 57. And the Eagles getting shut out marked just the third time in the past 13 Super Bowls that a team has finished with zero quarterback takedowns –  cashing the "No" on "Both teams to finish with at least one sack," which was priced at +550 through DraftKings.

Super Bowl "to record a sack" odds

Super Bowl team sack props are fun and all, but there's something extra special about targeting one specific defensive player and watching with glee as he sends the opposing QB sprawling.

Sack bettors went home mostly disappointed following Super Bowl 57, with none of the top 12 betting options coming through.

That outcome also came with a major negative impact on the "Player to record first sack" market, with none of the favorites coming through. The "No Sack" option on the "Player to record first Eagles sack" list did though, paying a handsome +650 for anyone who took the plunge.

In the not-so distant past there was a game-sealing sack from one of the NFL's best pass-rushers, handing a victory to the Los Angeles Rams over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56.

What are Super Bowl sacks?

What's a sack? In straightforward terms, it's a tackle made on a quarterback behind the line of scrimmage while the quarterback still has the ball.

Sacks can happen when the quarterback is standing in the pocket or when they're on the run. A player isn't credited with a sack if they tackle a quarterback who's considered to be trying to rush forward. In that situation, the quarterback gets negative rushing yards but doesn't get a sack counted against them.

(Little-known fact: Before they were coined "sacks" in the 1960s, they were referred to by the NFL stat office as "dumps". Do with that info what you will.)

Super Bowl sack history

It isn't the first category people peruse when taking a look at the final Super Bowl box score, but there's plenty of valuable stuff in the sacks column if you're looking to do a little homework prior to making your wagers.

Here's a look at the year-by-year Super Bowl sack totals:

Here are a few interesting trends to pull from this list:

• The team that wins the sack battle is 36-14 straight up in Super Bowl history. There have been seven instances when the teams have finished tied in sacks.
• Super Bowl-winning teams have averaged 3.19 sacks per game as of 2023, while the losing team averages just 1.89 sacks.
• Not surprisingly, teams that fail to record a sack in the Super Bowl are just 5-11 straight up.
