Sunday’s Super Bowl will not only feature two elite offenses, but two of the league’s best pass rushes. Together, the teams combined for 93 sacks during the regular season. But which players will record a sack in Miami? Here are the top-seven odds to record a sack on Sunday.
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 5 a.m. ET.
Nick Bosa (-134)
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is the favorite to record a sack and it’s not hard to see why. In his last 12 games (including the postseason), he’s recorded eight sacks to go along with 19 quarterback hits. However, stay away from this bet as the odds just don’t provide enough value.

Arik Armstead (-125)
Surprisingly enough, no player on either team had more sacks in 2019 than Arik Armstead. During the regular season alone, Armstead tallied 10 sacks and added two more during the playoffs. But much like Bosa, there just isn’t enough value to bet on Armstead to record a sack in this game.
Dee Ford (-118)
When the 49ers traded for Dee Ford from the Chiefs, they were hoping to get the 2018 version of Ford who recorded 13 sacks in the regular season. Instead, they got a player who produced 6.5 sacks in 11 games as he dealt with injuries. However, due to his speed and ability to bend around the edge, he’s always a good bet to record a sack. And given that he will face his former team on Sunday, it’s not hard to imagine there is even a little more motivation there. Consider Ford a better bet to record a sack than Bosa or Armstead this week.
Frank Clark (-118)
Arguably the most talented pass-rusher on either side, Frank Clark sits at -118 to record a sack after notching eight in 14 games this season. However, he will face a 49ers’ offensive line with outstanding tackles, Clark is too risky of a bet in this game.

Chris Jones (+110)
After sitting out the divisional round with a calf injury, Chris Jones returned to the lineup against the titans and dominated. Now that he’s had two weeks to rest his calf, he should be close to 100 percent for this contest. And given that the interior of the 49ers’ offensive line isn’t overly strong, Jones isn’t a bad bet to record a sack at +110.
DeForrest Buckner (+120)
One of the better bets for this game is DeForrest Buckner recording a sack at +120. While he only recorded 7.5 sacks this season, the mismatch inside of him against the Chiefs’ offensive line is drastic. And given all the attention Nick Bosa and Dee Ford are likely to draw, betting on Buckner to record a sack seems like a pretty safe bet.
Terrell Suggs (+150)
The player with the lowest odds to record a sack this week is Terrell Suggs, who joined the Chiefs midseason after being released by the Cardinals. Suggs recorded 6.5 sacks this season, but none so far this postseason. He is a part-time player for Kansas City as a situational pass-rusher. However, there just isn’t enough value to bet on Suggs to record a sack in the Super Bowl.
