There are countless different kinds of prop bets, so bettors are going to have their pick of options. No football game is going to have more markets and options available, so there are more different types of props than one could even name. When it comes to Super Bowl betting, the best betting sites will literally have thousands of odds available for the game, so it might be a bit overwhelming.
The best betting sites and sportsbooks will likely serve several common bets to bettors that they can look forward to. Super Bowl LX is set, with the Seahawks set to square off against the Patriots in what should be a thrilling matchup. With the two teams determined, the lines are out for the different prop options.
Below is a breakdown of the different betting options that users will have to pick from.
Winning margin: For this bet, bettors pick what they believe will be the exact final winning margin of the game. This is different from the spread, as it is an exact prediction.
First Score: For this bet, bettors can pick what they think the first score of the game will be. They can pick what the method will be and which team will score by that method. Below are some options.
- Patriots/Seahawks Field goal
- Patriots/Seahawks Touchdown
- Any other
Race to 10: This bet is based on who the first team to score ten points will be. Bettors can pick the Seahawks, Patriots, or neither if they believe the game will end with neither team scoring 10 points.
Quarter/Half Lead Bets: These are bets on who will win in a specific quarter or half. Bettors can choose whether a team will be leading after the first quarter or half or get really specific and pick which team will have a better 2nd, 3rd, or 4th quarter.
These are some of the common game prop bets that you will see on typical sports betting sites. While game props are a blast, player props are just as worthy of bettors' times. Let’s look at some popular player prop options.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: This is a bet on if a player will score a touchdown at any point in the game. The odds differ according to the player’s likelihood of finding the endzone, so players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rhamondre Stevenson would have lower payouts than players like Treyveon Henderson or AJ Barner. For quarterbacks, the bet is based on whether they will score a rushing or receiving touchdown, as passing touchdowns don’t count for this market.
Yardage Over/Under: Yardage over/under is a total line that is based on how many yards a player will have. There are passing, receiving, and rushing lines. If Sam Darnold’s passing yardage total is 250.5, he’d need to pass for at least 251 yards to hit the over.
Touchdowns Over/Under: This market works very similarly to the yardage over/under. There are lines for passing touchdowns or receiving/rushing touchdowns. If Drake Maye’s passing touchdown total is set at 1.5 touchdowns, he’d need to pass for two to clear the over.
Other prop bets are more trivial. These are a few examples:
- Will the coin toss be heads or tails?
- Who wins the coin toss?
- What colo r of Gatorade will be dumped on the winning head coach?
- How long will the national anthem last?
- Will a fan run onto the field?
Some prop bets are related tothe halftime show:
- What will Bad Bunny sing first?
- Will Bad Bunny make a political statement?
- How many songs in total will be performed?
- Will Bad Bunny perform a brand-new song?
