Super Bowl Prop Bets: Looking at Best Bets for Harrison Butker and Jordan Mason in Sunday's Big Game

Will Butker or Mason have an impact on Sunday's Super Bowl?

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. 

The final football game of the season will commence on Sunday and it is a familiar matchup. The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco will face off in the big game and there are a pair of former Yellow Jackets in this game, guaranteeing that Georgia Tech will have a winner in this game. 

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is no stranger to Super Bowls, as he is playing in his third one with the Chiefs. Butker played a key role in last year's game, knocking in the game-winning field goal to push the Chiefs past the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Could Butker play a big role in this year's game? It is a possibility. 

On the other side, Jordan Mason has been a key depth piece for the 49ers in the backfield and is looking for his first Super Bowl Win. While Christian McCaffrey dominates the carries and snaps in the backfield, Mason could be a useful complement to him on Sunday. The Chiefs have a solid defense, but their run defense is the weakest link and San Francisco could decide to try and pound the rock on Sunday, which could include Mason getting some touches.

When looking at the possible impact these two players could make on Sunday, what do the prop bets have to say?

Over at Ceasar's Sportsbook, Mason has +2500 odds to score a touchdown. While it is unlikely, there have been times that San Francisco has used other running backs when they get near the goal line, as a way to ease the workload on McCaffrey. Could Mason be that guy? That is the most likely scenario for Mason to score a touchdown. 

For Butker, there are a couple of interesting bets you can make. 

A field goal attempt as the result of the first drive is +325. That would be one that I take a look at.

The 1st scoring play of the game being a Kansas City Field goal is currently +360. Again, I think both of those would make for an interesting play. 

Some background on Butker from his days on The Flats: 

From Georgia Tech Athletics:

Georgia Tech’s starting place kicker … finished his career as Georgia Tech’s all-time leading scorer with 337 career points and 208 career PATs … ranks third in school history in career field-goal percentage (.717) and fifth in career field goals (43) … one of three team captains in 2016 … honorable-mention all-ACC (media) … led Georgia Tech and ranked 10th in the ACC (all positions) in scoring with 91 points (7.0 ppg) … made 15-of-17 field goals, good for an .882 percentage that led the ACC and ranked 13th nationally … was 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts from 40-plus yards out … was 46-for-46 on PAT attempts … scored 10 points (2-for-2 FG, 3-for-3 PAT) at Pittsburgh (Oct. 8) … tallied eight points in back-to-back games versus Duke (1-for-1 FG, 5-for-5 PAT on Oct. 29) and at North Carolina (2-for-2 FG, 2-for-2 PAT on Nov. 5) … set a career high with 12 points and matched a career high with three field goals in Georgia Tech’s 30-20 win at No. 18 Virginia Tech (Nov. 12) … set a Georgia Tech postseason record by making 4-of-4 field goals (23, season-ling 52, 44 and 26 yards) in TaxSlayer Bowl win over Kentucky (Dec. 31) … accounted for 15 of the Yellow Jackets’ 33 points in the 33-18 win over UK … was also a huge weapon on kickoffs, with 54-of-73 traditional kickoffs (pooch and post-safety kicks not included) going for touchbacks … only five of his kickoffs were returned past the 25 yard line and none were returned past the 38 yard line … opponents’ average starting field position was their own 24.5 yard line following Georgia Tech kickoffs.

Mason was an instant contributor from the time he stepped foot on campus back in 2018 for Georgia Tech. On just 108 carries in 2018, Mason totaled 659 yards and had seven touchdowns, while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. Mason had his career-best year in 2019, Geoff Collin's first year in Atlanta. He totaled 172 carries for nearly 900 yards and seven touchdowns. His yards per carry dropped, but Mason was the most effective player on the Georgia Tech offense.

The Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
