Betting on a Philadelphia Octopus for Super Bowl 57

The Eagles attempted four two-point attempts during the 2022-23 season and 50% of them converted. In week 15 against the Chicago Bears, Jalen Hurts ran for a touchdown and followed it up with a two-point conversion run, recording the octopus.

While they have recorded no official two-point attempts during the 2022 playoffs, the Eagles lined up for a two-point attempt in both the Divisional and the Wild Card Round. After scoring at the end of the second quarter in both playoff games, Nick Sirianni had his offense run a hard count and tried to get an offsides call.

While neither were successful in getting the flag, an offsides call would likely set up a one-yard Jalen Hurts two-point conversion, which could potentially set up a Super Bowl 57 octopus if the Eagles get another shot.

Betting on a Kansas City Octopus for Super Bowl 57

During the 2022-23 season, the Chiefs attempted five total two-point conversions and three of them were successful. Patrick Mahomes successfully recorded the only octopus for KC against the Tennessee Titans in week 14 after a rushing touchdown was followed by a successful rushing two-point conversion.

Jerick McKinnon recorded a two-point conversion during the 2022 season from a pass from Patrick Mahomes. With Mahomes still dealing with an ankle sprain, McKinnon could be a target for short conversions in the Super Bowl. McKinnon had nine touchdown receptions during the 2022 season.

The other successful two-point conversion of the 2022 season for the Chiefs was from a Travis Kelce reception during the third week of the NFL season.

What is an Octopus in the NFL?

For betting on the NFL, an octopus is when a player has to both score a touchdown and be the player to convert a successful two-point conversion. The term was created by Mitch Goldich in 2019 and was inspired by the total points of a touchdown and a two-point conversion adding up to eight.
