Here are the wildest Super Bowl prop bets and lines

For some sports fans, the Super Bowl can be a little lackluster when their favorite teams aren’t involved.

For this reason, sports players come up with the wildest and most bizarre prop bets to spice up their Super Bowl experience, often referred to as “novelty” or “exotic” bets.

These bets can range from rare on-field events to in-game events such as the national anthem or certain commercials and much more.

Here are some of my favorites, along with odds if you fancy them.

(But always remember these are meant to be fun bets, so gamble responsibly or not at all.)

National anthem over/under

The national anthem this year will be performed by the legendary Chris Stapleton, one of the finest country singer/songwriters since the turn of the century. The man’s haunting, natural vocals and soulful singing are magical.

But the odds makers know this, so the expected total time for the national anthem this year is 2:05, or 125 seconds. I sang the national anthem a few times. It doesn’t have to be that long.

Personally I would go down there.

Coin Toss Results

The coin toss result bets are classics for the Super Bowl. Some simply bet heads or tails (with even -101 or -105 odds either way), others go so far as to play the entire outcome, including which team will win and what they’re doing with the ball.

I’m a reverse engineer bettor. If the phrase “numbers never fail” comes to mind on this bet, it means I’m definitely going heads.

What I’m gonna do here

Gatorade shower color

Watching a coach get doused in gooey sports drink is one of the best parts of any post-Super Bowl celebration. For several years, bettors have done extensive research to guess what color of Gatorade Nick Sirianni or Andy Reid will shower in. This bet is so popular that it was placed on more than any other player support in last year’s Super Bowl.

This year the old favorites are back on top.

I personally like two of the longshots here. First, Blue Gatorade (+500) appeals to me, and the ROI is great at these odds. But the even better odds are No Gatorade.

It’s an extreme longshot, but it’s possible neither team will pour Gatorade, especially if the game is a blowout. Just something to chew on.

Commercial Super Bowl Betting

The last one I will mention here is betting on the commercials that will air during the Super Bowl. These spots are the most expensive TV spots per minute in a year, so many brands are doing their best.

There are so many props here that I could never explain them all, but usually these bets follow a first-to-air format. In this format, two brands compete to see whose commercial, you guessed it, will air first.

I say go Doritos here, they always give it their all for the Super Bowl.

Have fun, bet responsibly and let me know how you’re doing at @roguesportsla on Twitter.
