Super Bowl LIX: Prop Bets
Tomorrow is Super LIX & we’re gonna give our picks for all of the novelty prop bets.
Odds provided courtesy of SportsInteraction.
Coin Toss
KC has won the toss the last two years. Last year with heads, and two years ago with tails. The winning split in the previous 10 years is 6 Tails to 4 Heads.
Our Pick: KC & Tails (Both -102)
Gatorade Bath Colour
Chiefs have gone purple back to back years. Eagles went yellow/green when they won last. In the last 10 years, blue has been the overall favourite with 4 total with the Patriots twice, Bucs, and Rams all opting for the Cool Blue. Seems maybe there was a Brady blue connection. With the Chiefs going purple back-to-back years we’ve gotta ride that. We’ll hope if the Eagles win that they did so from the obvious luck that the purple Gatorade provides.
Our Pick: Purple (+300)
National Anthem Length
Jon Batiste is singing the American National Anthem this year and the over/under is set at 120.5 seconds. Over has hit 4 of the last 6 years including last year when Reba McEntire came in a fraction of a second over the 94 seconds her anthem odds were set at. None of these last 4 overs have had an anthem set at 2 minutes. The last time a 2-minute over hit was in 2016 when Lady Gaga barely went over her 142-second expected anthem.
There is video of Batiste signing the national anthem at the 2017 NBA All-Star Game where he comes in much closer to 100 seconds from the start of Oh to the end of Brave. We will be riding the under.
Our Pick: Under 120.5 seconds (-140)
Who Will Be Mentioned 1st In MVP Speech
The favourite is God/Religious figure at -210 but the last three winners have been the pick with the next best odds - Teammates. In a bit of scouring it seems that Teammates is the way players typically go and because of that we’re gonna ride the plus odds on what looks like a pretty common winner.
Our Pick: Teammates (+325)
Half-Time 1st Song Played
Kendrick Lamar is performing and there is tons of talk around Not Like Us. I think it’s a guarantee he’ll play it, even though Too Short thinks he should leave it off the setlist. But first? It has the second-best odds at +375 behind only Humble at +150. Personally, I don’t think it will be either of these. Taking into account the vibes of the Super Bowl, and wanting to come out high energy, my bet will be on Squabble Up being the first song.
Our Pick: Squabble Up (+450)
Half-Time Total Songs Played
Over/Under for this is set at 10.5 - I like the over for this. Usher performed 12 songs last year and Kendrick has a long list of popular songs I’m sure he’d be happy to bust out. Didn’t dive too much into the history on this one just going with my gut that there will be plenty of songs packed into his show. The over is the favourite here as well.
Our Pick: Over (-175)
