Gambling is awesome (but remember always in moderation) and it just so happens that odds makers want you to bet on everything Super Bowl related. Literally everything. Gatorade color? Yep. National Anthem length? You betcha. The list of prop bets is almost limitless and in all honesty, the shear amount of things that you can bet on for this game is almost overwhelming. Which is why I am going to hand select the best props to bet.
1. Length of national anthem sung by Demi Lovato
Over 2 minutes, 3 seconds : -175
Under 2 minutes, 3 seconds: +135
I really want to take the over here but 10 of the last 12 have gone under the 2 minute mark, so that stat makes ya think a little bit. For what it's worth, Demi Lavato went over 2 minutes when she sang the national anthem in 2017 before the McGregor v Mayweather fight. Obviously Lavato has a big game voice and has been on this stage before, therefore she'll make it over the 2 minute mark.
VERDICT: Over
2. Length of the word "brave" in the national anthem
Over 5.5 seconds: -185
Under 5.5 seconds: +145
If the national anthem over is going to hit, it's gonna need Demi Lavato to really carry out the 'brave'. But as I previously mentioned before. Demi does have a big game voice so her experience might be enough to hit the over without 'brave' going over. I don't like this prop and realize that I'm contradicting myself a little bit. No further comment.
VERDICT: Under
3. Winner of the 15th puppy bowl
Team Fluff: -300
Team Ruff: +200
The Puppy bowl is a nice little treat on Super Bowl Sunday when you're sick of pregame shows. I don't think that I could sit and watch the whole thing but for 15 minutes it's pretty cool. I mean who doesn't like cute puppies fighting over chew toys? I think you have to love the underdog here.
VERDICT: Team Ruff
Will Tom Brady be mentioned?
Yes: -300
No: +200
In classic Tom Brady fashion, he has made super bowl week all about him in a year that he is not playing. His attention is thanks in part to him tweeting out this "cryptic" tweet. No way his ass doesn't get mentioned now. VERDICT: Yes
4. Will Troy Aikman Mention His Past Super Bowl Experiences?
Yes: -250
No: +175
The Troy Aikman and Joe Buck tandem has grown on me in recent years and I actually don't mind them calling a game. But there's nothing that Aikman loves more than to talk about himself. I could even see him comparing himself to Tom Brady and knocking out back-to-back props.
VERDICT: Yes
5. Will Any Player Finish With Exactly 69 Yards?
Yes +690
No -1290
Nice.
VERDICT: Yes
6. Will a Player Leave The Game and Not Return Due To Concussion Symptoms?
Yes +120
No -150
In all seriousness, what the hell kinda prop bet is this? People are really going to bet on whether or not a player gets a brain injury? That's not cool. I refuse to bet this just out of the principle of it. Given the violent nature of football I get why this is a prop but please don't be the guy who bets on this one.
VERDICT: Don't
7. Which Company Airs the First Commercial After The Coin Toss?
Bud Light:15 to 1
Budweiser: 15 to 1
Coke: 19 to 1
Hyundai: 19 to 1
Skittles: 19 to 1
Mars/ M&M’s: 24 to 1
Kia: 24 to 1
FIELD: 2/3
Companies love to spend big money on super bowl ads and they usually show out pretty well. Over the years we've seen some classic ads, some big time flops and everything in between. Every year the beer guys seem to deliver in some capacity. All i really want is to laugh a lot during the breaks from football. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone on this list has the first ad but I love the odds for the field.
VERDICT: The Field
8. Will Any Scoring Drive Take Less Time Than It Takes Demi Lovato To Sing The Anthem?
Yes -260
No +175
Heyooo one last Demi Lavato related prop. So even if the length of the anthem is under 2 minutes, this prop still has life. Both San Francisco and Kansas City have high powered offenses that could easily make this happen, but both teams also boast some pretty solid defenses. No way an offense with Tyreek Hill doesn't score one time in 2 minutes or less.
VERDICT: Yes
9. Who will the Super Bowl MVP of the Game thank first?
Teammates 3 to 2
Coach 12 to 1
Family 12 to 1
God 3 to 1
Owner 12 to 1
Does Not Thank Anyone 5 to 2
If Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson or Tim Tebow were playing, I'd be hammering God @ 3 to 1, but sadly they're not. Between these two teams I'm seeing a lot of good teammates all across the board, so for me it's a toss up between thanking teammates or coaches (no disrespect god). If the Cowboys were playing all thanks is going to the owner but that's not the case so I think we're safe there.
VERDICT: Teammates
10. What Color will the Gatorade (or liquid) be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the Winning Super Bowl Team?
Purple-130
Red+300
Lime/Green/Yellow+450
Orange +800
Clear/Water+800
Blue+1100
This absurd prop is by far my favorite prop bet that happens every year. Imagine betting on a Gatorade color. So unreal. The Purple color has sky rocketed all the way to -130 after Kobe's death, because of all the ways to honor a guy, purple Gatorade is the best way to do it. Personally I'd take purple if I were the athlete on the team but that's just me. Wanna know a flavor that's underrated? Lemon Lime.
VERDICT: Lime/Green/Yellow
Friends, enjoy your multi-shades of red Super Bowl Sunday. May the day be filled with food and drink alike. If you're going to bet props do something cooler than heads or tails. Also most odds were via respectable sports books and were current at the time of my blogging. Nobody said that being a degenerate sports fan was easy, so onward and upward for us degenerates, let's make Sunday something to remember.
