Super Bowl Sacks Prop Odds, Predictions: Over/Under Props for the Big Game

Super Bowl sack prop odds are annually posted prior to the Big Game, and we're breaking down the many markets using the NFL odds from our best Super Bowl betting sites.

The defensive props among the Super Bowl odds expanded during the buildup to the 2024 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. And the Super Bowl sacks odds in particular are always worth serious consideration at our best sports betting sites.

Most of our best NFL betting sites annually hop aboard in some capacity while getting creative with their Super Bowl player props and other Super Bowl prop bet odds. Bettors usually get plenty of selection beyond just the standard "to record a sack" market offered throughout the regular season.

Let's examine the Super Bowl sacks odds and what you can typically expect from the market before the championship game every year, using Super Bowl 58 as an example.

Super Bowl sacks props: To record a sack

This is likely the most popular market related to sacks, and perhaps defensive props in general. And the odds, as well as the lines, often vary.

That applies even to the way the offerings are presented. For example, FanDuel and bet365 both listed this market as "to record a sack" before Super Bowl 58, while DraftKings' offering was significantly more enticing.

DraftKings featured an Over/Under on 0.25 sacks, which means a player can cash the Over even if they team up to record half a sack with a teammate.

Here are the final odds prior to Super Bowl 58.

San Francisco's Nick Bosa was trading at +106 via FanDuel to record a sack and -110 at bet365. However, you could have played Bosa Over 0.25 sacks at an also appealing -105 via DraftKings.

Similarly, Chiefs leading pass-rusher Chris Jones was being offered at +132 through FanDuel and +135 at bet365. Both numbers offer nice value, but DraftKings wasn't too far behind with +130 odds for just 0.25 sacks.

Therefore, DraftKings was the favored choice for wagering on the Super Bowl sacks market. Watch for the "yes/no" versus Over/Under offerings prior to future Super Bowls and shop accordingly.

Super Bowl sacks props: To record the most sacks

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

Bosa was unsurprisingly the clear favorite again before Super Bowl 58. The game-wrecker recorded at least 1.5 sacks during four regular-season games in 2023-24, and he was coming off two sacks during the NFC Championship Game.

However, while there was a decent amount of pressure the two quarterbacks needed to avoid, no one recorded more than one sack. Three players tied for the lead while notching one sack apiece (Arik Armstead, Javon Hargrave, and Chase Young).

Here are the final most sack odds heading into Super Bowl 58.

In addition to wagering on the team to record the first sack (more on that below), you can also bet on the player who will bring the quarterback down first.

Here's how the odds broke down before Super Bowl 58. The 49ers pressured Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes plenty while hauling him down three times, and Chase Young cashed +750 odds for bettors.

Super Bowl sacks Over/Under

FanDuel, DraftKings, and bet365 posted team sack props in 2024.

Super Bowl 58 featured two of the league's most dominant pass rushes, but the Chiefs were on another level after finishing the regular season second with 57 sacks. San Francisco ended up in a tie for seventh at 48.

However, the 49ers still notched the first sack, and led the overall sack scoreboard 3-1.

Here are the team total sacks odds before the Big Game, and the overall total sack odds. The final result for the latter fell just short of the number, with the two squads combining for four sacks.

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 36-15 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.
