SportsLine Staff

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs match up in Super Bowl 55 on Sunday, and William Hill Sportsbook has a ton of exciting wagering options. Many involve Kansas City's high-powered offense and others focus on Tom Brady as one of the most high-profile players in the NFL. Still others center on Tampa Bay's running game, however, and Leonard Fournette is an intriguing player to monitor.

William Hill has set the Over-Under on Fournette's rushing yards in the Super Bowl at 48.5, and it has his total receiving yards at 25.5 and his receptions at 3.5. From there, William Hill also has Fournette listed at +120 to score a touchdown at any point during the game and at +1000 to be the first player to score a touchdown for either team. To get even wackier, Fournette is +550 to score multiple touchdowns and +2500 to score three touchdowns or more during the big game.
