Sunday sees the climax of the 2024 NFL season, with reigning champions Kansas City looking to become the first ever team in history to three-peat.
Here, we look at some of the more unusual prop bets for the Super Bowl, from the colour of the gatorade bath the winning coach will receive, to the length of the national anthem.
In the betting market there are two clear favourites, PURPLE & YELLOW/GREEN, and there's a clear reason why.
In the last two Super Bowls, the Chiefs celebrated by dunking head coach Andy Reid in purple Gatorade. If you were the Chiefs, why would you break this tradition?
Zack Baun is one of the stories of the season. He was signed on a one year deal in what many expected to be a situational pass rusher role, but under Vic Fangio he exploded.
Used at inside linebacker, Baun has been a wrecking ball. Through the regular season he racked up 151 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles and 11 tackles for loss. He earned first team All-Pro honours, alongside a defensive player of the year nomination. He’s simply been immense, and a huge part of why the Eagles’ defence has been elite.
In the last Super Bowl matchup between these sides, Jalen Hurts managed to score the first ever Super Bowl Octopus. The Eagles were trailing 35-27 with just over 5 minutes to play. Hurts ran in for the score and then the subsequent two-point conversion.
After four straight years of the over cashing in the national anthem length, the under is definitely due.
Based on previous performances by Batiste, the under represents value. He’s twice sung the national anthem ahead of sporting events, at the US Open where he clocked a 106 second performance, and then at the NBA All Star game with a 99 second - giving us an average performance of 102.5 seconds.
It’s quite the ask for us to expect him to string out the notes enough to rack up so many extra seconds - take the UNDER.
