Super Bowl 60 is just around the corner, as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks prepare to battle it out at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just excited for the snacks and commercials, you can add some extra excitement to your Super Bowl party with prop betting.
Forget about the standard prop bets you see during the regular season; the Super Bowl is a special event that offers hundreds of unique props you won’t get for any other game. Some of these bets may be silly, others based entirely on luck, but they all guarantee to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Let’s explore some of the more interesting prop bets available for Super Bowl 60, covering a variety of categories throughout the game.
How Long Will It Take Charlie Puth To Sing The US National Anthem?
- Over 121.5 seconds -185
- Under 121.5 seconds +140
The Super Bowl betting action starts right away with the singing of the national anthem. This has become one of the more tracked Super Bowl props in recent years, with each performer putting their own personal touch on The Star-Spangled Banner.
This year, it will be Charlie Puth getting things started. He has a power voice and could easily stretch the clock if he holds the final note or adds a flourish at the end. If you’re looking to get paid out before the game even begins, this is your best bet.
First TV Advertisement – Bosch Home vs Dove
- Bosch Home -120
- Dove -120
There’s no need for the excitement to wane between whistles when you can bet on the commercials being aired. There are odds available on several different brands in this category, but Bosch Home and Dove appear to be a coin toss for which brand will have its ad shown first.
It doesn’t matter which brand is bigger or which commercial lasts longer; all that matters is whichever ad is played first in the national feed. This bet is usually decided within the first few minutes of the game, but will give you a reason to keep your eyes on the screen at all times.
Bad Bunny Halftime Show – Total Number of Songs
- Over 11.5 -115
- Under 11.5 -115
There’s a wide range of prop bets focused on Bad Bunny’s halftime show, but we like betting on the total number of songs performed. This fun prop bet will keep things interesting while the players are resting up for the second half.
Most Super Bowl halftime shows are roughly 12-15 minutes, so artists usually perform a condensed medley of their top hits. This prop will turn the halftime festivities into some major betting action, and since it’s based on the total number of songs, it will last the entire performance.
NBC Broadcast Specials – Will Cris Collinsworth mention Patrick Mahomes?
- Yes -190
- No +145
NBC announcer Cris Collinsworth is well-known for heaping praise on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but will that still be the case in a matchup between the Patriots and Seahawks? Collinsworth’s obsession with Kansas City’s quarterback has become a bit of a running joke in recent years, and this prop bet dives right into that gag.
On one hand, Mahomes had a disappointing season and failed to make the playoffs, so his name seems unlikely to come up. On the other hand, he’s appeared in five of the last six Super Bowls and could easily be shown in some highlight packages.
Seattle to Attempt a Pass from Opponent’s 1 Yard Line
- Yes +375
- No -600
Most football fans can still remember what happened the last time Seattle attempted a pass from their opponent’s 1-yard line in a Super Bowl. The infamous play resulted in an interception, costing Russell Wilson and the Seahawks a title.
It’s hard to envision Seattle making that same mistake again, especially with running back Kenneth Walker III in the backfield. Still, when everyone is sure something won’t happen, that’s often when it usually does.
Who will the Super Bowl MVP Mention First in His On-Field Speech?
- God or Jesus -200
- Teammates +150
- City +1400
- Family or Family Members +1600
- Coach +2200
- Other +3000
- Owner +4500
Betting on the Super Bowl MVP is nothing new, but now you can take it one step further by wagering on who the MVP will mention first in his on-field speech. Whether you think it will be his teammates, the team’s city or the almighty himself, this bet will only be decided at the very end of the game.
Religious figures tend to be the most popular option, but it really does depend on who you think will claim the award. This is an unpredictable prop bet that leans heavily on the personality of the winner and the circumstance in which they won the game, which makes it more fun than it is scientific.
