As the Super Bowl approaches, the “Specials and Exotics” market is buzzing. While everyone focuses on betting the moneyline, the sharpest eyes are on the record books.
Oddsmakers have set several lines on legendary milestones, most of which have stood for decades. Here is the breakdown of the records in the crosshairs and the legends who currently hold them.
| Record Category | Current Record | Record Holder(s) | “Yes” Odds |
| Combined Points | 75 | 49ers vs. Chargers (1995) | +1000 |
| Single Team Points | 55 | San Francisco 49ers (1990) | +750 |
| Passing Yards | 505 | Tom Brady (2018) | +1400 |
| Receiving Yards | 215 | Jerry Rice (1989) | +800 |
| Receptions | 14 | James White (2017) | +750 |
| Longest FG | 57 Yards | Harrison Butker (2024) | +300 |
The Scoring Titans: Single Team and Combined Points
The record for the most points scored by a single team is 55, set by the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV (1990). Joe Montana’s squad dismantled the Denver Broncos so thoroughly that the record hasn’t been seriously threatened in 35 years.
The “Yes” for this to be broken sits at +750, reflecting just how difficult it is to reach that eighth touchdown.
Similarly, the combined team record of 75 points was set at Super Bowl XXIX when the 49ers (49) and Chargers (26) turned the game into a track meet. With the “No” heavily favored at -4000, the books expect a more balanced defensive struggle rather than a 40-38 shootout.
The Air Raid: Passing and Receiving
One of the most lopsided lines is the passing record of 505 yards. This monumental figure was set by Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII. Ironically, Brady lost that game to the Eagles, proving that throwing for half a millennium doesn’t always guarantee a ring.
At +1400, breaking this record is the ultimate longshot on the board.
On the receiving end, the legendary Jerry Rice still reigns supreme with 215 receiving yards in Super Bowl XXIII. For a modern receiver to eclipse this, they’d likely need a performance for the ages.
Super Bowl sportsbooks have set the “Yes” at +800, acknowledging that while today’s league is pass-heavy, Rice’s 1989 masterclass remains the gold standard.
The Grind: Receptions and Field Goals
While Rice holds the yardage record, the single-game receptions record is currently 14, shared by James White (SB LI). Note: While Travis Kelce recently broke the career receptions record in 2025, the single-game mark remains at 14.
Betting on a player to haul in 15 catches is a tempting +750 prop, especially in a PPR-friendly era.
Finally, the most “breakable” record might be the longest field goal. The current record is 57 yards, set by Harrison Butker in 2024 (Super Bowl LVIII), surpassing a 55-yarder set by Jake Moody in that same game.
With kickers now regularly hitting from 60+, the +300 line for “Yes” at Bovada is the most competitive record-breaking prop on the list.
