Super Bowl Prop Bets

One of the most fun ways to bet on the Super Bowl is with prop bets (short for proposition bet), because there is such a wide range of options that there’s something for everyone, even people who aren’t football fans. A Super Bowl prop bet is basically any bet whose result is not tied to the outcome of the game in question, in this instance, the Super Bowl.

Most of the time with NFL betting there are a lot of prop bets related to how the game plays out, but prop bets for the Super Bowl take it a step further. Super Bowl betting is fun for the whole family, because not only can you bet on how many yards a certain player will have, or how many points will be scored in the game, or who will score a touchdown, you can also bet on how long it will take the national anthem to be sung, what songs the artists on the halftime show will perform, and even which type of commercial will come on the broadcast first.

There are endless options for Super Bowl props, and it will usually depend on which Canadian sportsbook you choose to bet with, because not every sportsbook has every fun prop out there. The Super Bowl is where these prop bet guys can really get creative, and they outdo themselves every year when the big game comes around.

There really is no end to the number of Super Bowl prop bets you can find online. To get you started here, we’ve put together a list of some of the most common prop bets for the Super Bowl that we’ve seen over the years. We’ve also broken them down so you know whether they’re up your alley or if they might be falling under the expertise of a friend or family member that can help you find Super Bowl betting success.

Player Props

Some of the most common Super Bowl props are based solely on the performance of individual players. These include everything from how many receptions a player might have, whether they’ll record a sack or a touchdown, how many yards they might gain, whether they’ll throw an interception or not, and much more.

Team Props

While player props deal with player performance, team Super Bowl props focus on the team’s performance. These can be anything other than the three standard markets: moneyline, spread, and over/under. A few of your options here include, team point totals, first team to score, spread by quarter or half, and how many touchdowns or field goals a team might score.

National Anthem Props

Everything about the Super Bowl is mega, so the national anthem is put under massive scrutiny too. The Super Bowl prop bet here is generally over/under on how long the singer will take to complete the national anthem, but it can also be related to their outfit. Researching previous Super Bowls or national anthem performances by that artist can be a big help in winning this quirky prop.

Halftime Show Props

The fun doesn’t stop during halftime. There are many Super Bowl prop bets centered around the halftime show, including which songs the artist will play, whether they’re bringing in a surprise guest, how they’ll dress, or what order the songs will be performed in.

Super Bowl Ad Props

Even when the broadcast goes to commercial you can win money with Super Bowl prop bets. The kinds of props you can expect here include which companies will have a commercial during the broadcast, when a company might have their commercial aired, what a certain company’s commercial will feature, and which commercials might air before others on the broadcast.

Other Exotic Props

On top of all of those options, there’s still a treasure trove of silly Super Bowl props you can choose from. Some of them are downright ridiculous. For example, when the Chiefs went to the Super Bowl, there was a prop centered around whether head coach Andy Reid would mention cheeseburgers in his postgame speech. More common ones include which color of Gatorade the winning coach will have poured on him, what the result of the coin toss will be, who the Super Bowl MVP will thank first in their speech, will a fan run on the field during the game, whether a kick will hit the uprights during the game, and so much more.

Talking about Super Bowl betting is all well and good, but if you really want to get in on the action, you’re going to have to join a Canadian sportsbook. Unless, of course, you’re old school enough to still have a bookie, but that seems unlikely. Below we have listed the top six sportsbooks we’ve come across in our many years of NFL betting on Super Bowl props.

Super Bowl betting is no more complicated than normal NFL betting or betting on any other sport. We’re going to break down the process for beginners, however, just to make sure there’s no confusion here.
