Examining odds for matchups involving Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes is familiar, but The Match 2022 certainly throws a twist into that. As the four NFL quarterbacks take to the golf course at the Wynn Golf Club, let’s examine the latest odds and make a prediction for how things may go when they all have golf clubs in hand.
The Match 2022 betting odds
All odds courtesy of DraftKings sportsbook
- Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers -190
- Josh Allen & Patrick Mahomes +160
The odds for The Match 2022 vary at different sportsbooks, but -160 is generally the best price that has been available since the lines opened. In some places, the pairing has gone as far as -240 but has generally settled between -160 and -200.
When you look at the handicaps of the four golfers, it is no surprise that Rodgers and Brady are the favorites. Rodgers has by far the best-reported handicap at 4.6. Meanwhile, Mahomes and Brady are close together at 7.7 and 8.1, respectively. Meanwhile, Allen trails behind the group with a handicap of 9.0.
The Match prediction
The lack of a professional golfer makes this game tough to predict in many ways. For that reason, if you are betting on The Match in 2022, take some caution and place bets within reason. While Rodgers and Brady are the superior pairing, according to the numbers, the lack of known quantities makes this difficult to predict. However, while the handicaps suggest Rodgers and Brady have an advantage, so does the history between two golfers on the course itself.
Rodgers and Mahomes both took part in the American Century Championship in 2022. Mahomes could only shoot 81, while Rodgers went round in 10 better at 71. With Allen also having failed to make the cut at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, it is hard to look elsewhere than the Rodgers-Brady pairing. Saying that, if you can find odds around +250 on Allen and Mahomes closer to the event, the uncertainty of this matchup could make this a value bet.
What prop bet odds are available on The Match 2022?
From a spectator’s point of view, the variety of options for betting on The Match has been one of the key elements. That tradition will continue in 2022, with DraftKings Sportsbook already having several props available. The most intriguing might be +50000 on a hole in one on any of the four par-3 holes or for any of the four golfers. There is also an offer of +20000 on any golfer to have a hole in one at some point during the competition.
We saw a social media post from Tom Brady in which he hit a hole in one while practicing. While comments have been made about the flag placement and the authenticity of the video, the prospect is enticing. The Match is sure to want an entertaining product. Therefore, with four par-3 holes reportedly set to be played, including the final hole, look out for some enticing flag placements that could be conducive to a hole in one or two.

You can also bet on which team will lead first, who will lead after the third, sixth, and ninth holes, and which team will win the most holes of each par variety. Whatever elements you want to bet on when watching The Match in 2022, there will be an option out there for you. At odds of +20000 and +50000, some small bets on a hole in one are certainly intriguing as long-shot bets to add some entertainment value.
