Super Bowl prop bets: The best and oddest available

For some, there’s more at stake during Super Bowl LV than the outcome. Those prop bets can include standard game lines, which team scores first and which player is crowned the game’s MVP.

But there are also some interesting — and somewhat absurd — prop bets to consider ahead of Sunday’s big game. Here’s a look at a few of the best novelty prop bets to jump on before the teams take the field, with all odds coming from DraftKings.

Coin toss

Nothing could be more random than this — it’s literally a coin flip. But there’s also plenty of intrigue in this coin flip, and bettors can choose the outcome ( -103 for heads, -103 for tails), the coin toss winner (-106 for the Buccaneers, -106 for the Chiefs) and whether a team will win both the coin toss and game (+355 for the Buccaneers, +205 for the Chiefs).

Gatorade color

When either Tampa Bay or Kansas City wins the Super Bowl on Sunday night, Bruce Arians or Andy Reid will likely be showered in Gatorade. What color will that Gatorade be, however? There are plenty of possibilities.

The options: Orange (+125), Red (+200), Yellow/Green/Lime (+300), Clear/Water (+350), Blue (+700) or Purple (+800).

Doink special

Big games often come down to the smallest guy — the kicker. Bettors can predict if that kicker will hit an attempt off the upright or crossbar, with a resounding clang that could spell heartbreak for one team and joy for another. Yes (+375), No (-590).

Trick plays

There is a rich history of trick plays in the Super Bowl, such as the Philly Special. Tom Brady had a chance two years ago with the Patriots to catch a pass in the Super Bowl, but he dropped the ball. With that kind of history, there are plenty of prop bets surrounding trick plays.

Will any quarterback throw a forward pass off a flea flicker? Yes (+225), No (-305). Total number of players to attempt a pass? Over 2.5 (+155), under 2.5 (-200).

First play

After the opening kickoff, there could be plenty riding on what otherwise seems like a pretty inconspicuous play — the first play from scrimmage. But will that play be a run (+100) or pass (-124)?

Jersey number

Another random way to add interest — or stress — to the Super Bowl is to bet on the jersey number of the first player to score a touchdown. The Over/Under is set at 24.5, with -121 odds set for the over and -103 given for the under.

There are some great players available at the under. The Buccaneers alone include Scotty Miller (No. 10), Tom Brady (No. 12), Mike Evans (No. 13), Chris Godwin (No. 14) and Tyler Johnson (No. 18). The Chiefs have Tyreek Hill (No. 10), Patrick Mahomes (No. 15), Mecole Hardman (No. 17) and others.
