Popular
Pre-Game Props - Betting Super Bowl Props
Before the
game even starts, football
bettors can place wagers on two popular pre-game
props: the national anthem and the coin toss.
The most
popular national anthem prop is the Over/Under on the length of the song. The
song typically takes about two minutes, but some artists draw it out longer
than others. Bettors can also make bets on items like “Will there be a scoring
drive that takes less time than the national anthem?
Bettors can
also wager on the coin toss. It’s a 50-50 proposition, but there are a few
different ways to bet the coin toss. You can wager on Heads or Tails or you can
bet on which team will win the coin toss. There is also a wager on whether or
not the team that wins the coin toss will win the game.
Most
Popular Prop Bet
At any
given Super
Bowl, the most popular prop bet is on the player
that will score the first touchdown. It’s an exciting bet because of the
anticipation of the game’s first score. It’s also exciting for bettors because
the payouts can be quite high even on players likely to score first.
Bettors
will typically find running backs and wide receivers that are more likely to
score the game’s first touchdown listed anywhere between +500 all the way to
+2000. Great value.

Betting
Super Bowl Props - Other “Firsts”
The game’s
first touchdown is just one of many “firsts” on which bettors can place wagers.
There is the opening kickoff wager where bettors can place a bet on whether or
not the kickoff will be a touchback.
Anyone
that’s been betting
NFL football props for a while, know the options can
get funky. Sportsbooks are always trying to post creative props to get social
media talking.
Most NFL
kickers can boot the ball into the end zone on the kickoff. With offenses
getting the ball at the 25-yard line, it’s almost a given that kickoffs will go
into the end zone. Many Super Bowls are played in indoor stadiums too where
weather is not a factor.
Other
“firsts” bets include betting on the first play and whether it will be a run or
pass. Another is which team will score first. You can also bet on the first
score and whether it will be a touchdown, field goal, or safety.
Fun Props
It gets
really fun for bettors with all of the other props not related to the game. One
of the more popular bets is which company’s commercial airs first during the
Super Bowl.
Others prop
bets may be related to which auto company or beverage brand airs their
commercial first.
Betting
Super Bowl props are a fun way to stay engaged with the game. They are also a
great way to hedge a traditional bet and add to your bankroll.
