Select Novelty Prop Bets You Might Wager
With just one game being played, the number of bets available are severely limited with just two teams playing. Though the Chiefs and Eagles roster plenty of players that offer masses of monetary value, the outer edges of the gambling sites present some of the most distinct and specific wagers only the Big Game could even attempt to tease.
Some of these are more dependent on who will raise the trophy to close out the Superdome’s drama, but this exercise is one of amusement and entertainment solely, so hopefully fans of all teams can enjoy.

Last year’s nearly translucent hue to the electrolyte shower dumped all over Andy Reid’s husky shoulders is unlikely to repeat itself even if Sirianni ends up drenched. The race is fairly bunched up with the usual suspects making appearances, but Purple’s leadership makes sense as a clash to both team’s uniforms. If I were a hydration specialist (water boy) for one of these squads, I would fill each with a rainbow’s assortment of liquid to assure that triple zeroes would be a surprise to everyone.
National Anthem by Jon Batiste
O/U 120.5 seconds
(Pitchfork)
Two of the last three National Anthem performances did not clear this particular hurdle. Reba McEntire barely tripped over the 90-second bar while Mickey Guyton sat just nine seconds short of a couple of minutes. Chris Stapleton played himself into my heart (and Super Bowl zeitgeist) by going just over the two-minute mark by a singular moment. New Orleans native and seven-time Grammy winner Jon Batiste is set to display one of the most unique performances of the song with trumpets, trombones, and an overall groovier atmosphere just before kickoff. For my money, he outdoes Stapleton on the swell alone.
Flea Flicker
Yes (+250)
No (-330)
Nick Sirianni is liable for anything at this point. The Jalen-Saquon-Jalen-AJ or DeVonta connection is an exciting possibility, but Xavier Worthy’s speed is…well…worthy of an exotic play call from one of the best to ever call a game.
Will there be overtime?
Yes (+1200)
No (-3500)
Last year’s event was capitalized by Mecole Hardman’s punctuation in the extra quarter and with both team’s love of entertaining (to say the least) ball, free football might be on the menu next to Po’ Boys and boudin.

Player to score an octopus (+1400)
Ok, it’s a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Some people just have to find a way to make life just a little weirder, and as one of them, leave whoever came up with this asinine term alone. Again, a tight contest will lend itself to stranger decisions as situations grow in intensity and pressure. We’ve seen penalties on PATs turn into massive swings in momentum in this postseason with the endeavors for a double serving of points becoming too sweet not to indulge. Back-to-back Brotherly Shoves (potentially interrupted by Leo Chenal soaring over the mumbling mess akin to fellow linebacker Frankie Luvu) could make a very rich person out of the proper prospector.
Gamble responsibly.
