The Super Bowl isn’t just about picking a winner. It’s about understanding how the game unfolds and finding value in the props market.
With Super Bowl LIX featuring Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts in a heavyweight rematch, the fourth quarter and turnovers become key areas to target.
Mahomes has built his legacy on clutch moments while the Chiefs defense thrives on creating chaos.
On the other side, Hurts faces a relentless pass rush, and ball security could be an issue.
With both teams under immense pressure late in the game, I’m diving into key game props that highlight fourth-quarter performance and turnover potential — two areas where momentum can swing everything.

Super Bowl 59 Prediction: Eagles Fourth Quarter Total Points Under 6.5 (+125)
Based on the Chiefs' defensive tendencies under Steve Spagnuolo, betting on the Eagles' fourth-quarter total points under 6.5 (+125) presents solid value.
Kansas City's defense takes an aggressive leap in the final quarter, blitzing on 41% of dropbacks, the highest rate in the NFL.
This isn't just about pressure. It's about results.
In the playoffs since 2019, the Chiefs have allowed a 42% completion rate when blitzing in the fourth quarter compared to 65% in the first three quarters.
They have also generated more sacks (8) and forced turnovers (2-1 TD-INT ratio) in crunch time.
Historically, the Chiefs' ability to close out games with constant pressure has disrupted opposing quarterbacks, leading to stalled drives, sacks, and turnovers.
If Jalen Hurts finds himself trailing and forced into passing situations late in the game, Kansas City's blitz-heavy approach could create chaos, reducing the likelihood of sustained scoring drives.
At plus money, under 6.5 on the Eagles' fourth-quarter total points aligns perfectly with the Chiefs' defensive trends, making it a compelling bet.

Super Bowl 59 Prediction: Lost Fumble in the Second Half, Yes (+120)
When considering wagers, you visualize how the game will unfold.
If I like the Chiefs to win because of Patrick Mahomes‘ experience, then I have to weigh that same factor on the other side where Jalen Hurts, while talented, doesn’t have nearly the same level of big-game experience.
That’s where this wager stems from: second half pressured moments.
Hurts is no stranger to taking hits, but against the Chiefs defense, his ball security will be put to the ultimate test.
The Chiefs rank second in forced fumbles per game, thrive in creating havoc, and with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo dialing up pressure, Hurts will have little room for error.
Chris Jones’ interior dominance forces quarterbacks off their spot, pushing Hurts into the path of Mike Danna and company.
Meanwhile, Trent McDuffie — arguably the league’s most disruptive corner in stripping the ball — lurks in the secondary, ready to punch at any loose grip. The Eagles’ run-heavy scheme only increases the likelihood of a fumble, as read-option plays and designed quarterback runs put Hurts in frequent high-contact situations.
Hurts’ extended time in the pocket (3.1 seconds per dropback) gives the Chiefs more opportunities to close in, and with Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal both adept at forcing fumbles in open space, one misstep could be all it takes.
Whether it’s a strip-sack or a punch-out in the open field, Kansas City has all the ingredients to turn a routine second-half drive into a game-changing turnover when pressure is at the highest to deliver.
