FOX Sports Gambling analysts Chris 'The Bear' Fallica and Geoff Schwartz successfully predicted several bets during Super Bowl LIX. This article details their winning wagers, including player props, cross-sport bets, and more.
Super Bowl LIX has come and gone, with the Philadelphia Eagles emerging victorious over the Kansas City Chiefs in a 40-22 rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl. This annual sporting spectacle always sees a surge in betting activity across sportsbooks nationwide.
Throughout the week leading up to the big game, FOX Sports Gambling analysts Chris 'The Bear' Fallica and Geoff Schwartz provided their insights and picks on various bets, ranging from conventional player props featuring star players like Saquon Barkley and Patrick Mahomes to more unconventional wagers involving punters and other sports. The Bear Bets podcast hosts made several astute calls, and below we delve into the winning bets they placed, along with the odds available at the time of each wager.\Fallica and Schwartz's winning bets started with Saquon Barkley's first rush being UNDER 4.5 yards at -130 odds on DraftKings. Despite Barkley's impressive performance throughout the playoffs, racking up over 400 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns exceeding 60 yards, the Chiefs' run defense managed to contain him, limiting him to 57 rushing yards for the game. His initial run of the game yielded four yards in the first quarter. Another successful bet was Patrick Mahomes' first rush OVER 6.5 yards at -110 odds on DraftKings. This bet proved to be a nail-biter, as the Chiefs quarterback faced constant pressure, being sacked six times throughout the game. However, Mahomes managed to break free for an eight-yard run in the third quarter, ultimately finishing with 25 rushing yards for the game.\The analysts also correctly predicted Matt Araiza recording a touchback on any punt at +225 odds on FanDuel. Although the game itself wasn't heavily reliant on punting, with a total of eight punts attempted, Araiza executed six of them. This bet easily cashed out as he registered two touchbacks, accumulating 311 punting yards throughout the game. His first touchback came in the opening quarter. They also nailed the bet on Saquon Barkley's longest rush UNDER 24.5 yards at -110 odds on DraftKings. As previously mentioned, Barkley's rushing yards were limited to 57. His longest run of the game, a 10-yarder, occurred in the second half. Rounding out their successful bets was a cross-sport wager involving the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. The bet placed was on Total passing TDs greater than total goals in Saturday's Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid match at -140 odds on SuperBook. The Madrid derby ended in a 1-1 draw, resulting in a total of two goals scored. Hurts and Mahomes combined for five touchdown passes in a game that saw 62 total points, making this an easy victory. Another successful bet was the Highest scoring half to be second half at -125 odds on DraftKings. With the Chiefs taking a commanding 24-0 lead in the first half, it seemed unlikely that the second half would be high-scoring. However, Mahomes and his team fought back, with the three-time Super Bowl MVP throwing three touchdown passes in the second half to make the score more respectable. Adding to this, the Eagles scored 16 points in the second half, resulting in a total of 38 points scored in the final two quarters. Another close call was Patrick Mahomes OVER 250 pass yards at -130 odds on DraftKings. Mahomes struggled throughout the game, particularly in the first half where he only managed 33 passing yards, the fifth fewest ever by a quarterback in the first half of a Super Bowl. However, he rallied in the second half, throwing three touchdowns, two of which were over 45 yards, ultimately finishing with 257 passing yards. Geoff also correctly predicted Saquon Barkley's longest rush UNDER 24.5 yards at -110 odds on DraftKings, echoing Fallica's successful bet. Lastly, he nailed JuJu Smith-Schuster OVER 1.5 receptions at -146 odds on FanDuel. Smith-Schuster had a relatively inconsistent season, recording between one and two catches in nine of his 16 games (including playoffs) while also having zero catches in six outings. However, he secured two receptions in the first quarter of the game, making this bet an early win. This turned out to be his only two catches for the entire game.
