Funny Prop Bets for Super Bowl
10 weird Super Bowl prop bets you should make in Rams-Bengals game
Anyone can wager on who wins, but let's have fun and gamble on the length of the national anthem or the jersey number of the first touchdown

Icon Sportswire/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe Super Bowl is the biggest sports gambling day of the year, because you can bet on just about anything. If you want to keep it simple: The Rams are four-point favorites over the Bengals, so that's a bet you can make that everyone understands, but let's get weird. Let's bet on the coin toss. Sure, it's a literal coin flip and none of us have any insight into the result, but stop trying to be reasonable and put some money down already.
You can also wager on the length of the national anthem or the color of Gatorade poured over the winning coach during the postgame celebration. Or, if you think you have a little more football knowledge, dig deep into the prop bets that involve individual player's statistics for the game.
I went through all the prop bets for Sunday's Super Bowl LVI and came up with 10 that you should put your money on (Don't come looking for me if any of these are wrong) ...
Coin toss
Nurse Suzie Dorner flips the coin as captains Lavonte David of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs look on before Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium on February 07, 2021 in Tampa, Florida.
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesLet's get you started with the fairest bet on the board: Heads or tails. The line at Bovada is even, which obviously makes sense. In Super Bowl history, tails has the advantage at 29-26, although it has come up heads in three of the past four Super Bowls. Still, we all know the rule: Tails Never Fails, so give me tails.
Length of National Anthem

Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesThe over/under for country music star Mickey Guyton's anthem performance is 1:40, which is insanely low since the past 16 Super Bowl anthems have averaged right at 2 minutes. However, Guyton was picked partly for her beautiful rendition at last year's National Memorial Day Concert and she got it done in 1:23. Even when she adds a little flair for the Super Bowl, I'm betting she still gets it down in less than 100 seconds, so let's go with under 1:40.
Jersey number of first touchdown scored

MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-Ne/MediaNews Group via Getty ImagesThe over/under at BetUS for the jersey number with the first touchdown is 19.5, which gives you the quarterbacks and all the top receivers if you take the under. The Rams' best receivers, excluding tight end Tyler Higbee, all wear unusually low numbers: Cooper Kupp (10), Odell Beckham (3) and Van Jefferson (12). On the Bengals side, you have star receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who wears No. 1. Give me the under 19.5, and let's hope that first touchdown is a pass to a big-time receiver.
How many players will have a passing attempt?

Kevork Djansezian/Getty ImagesThe over/under is 2.5, so if you take the over, you're basically willing to bet that one of the teams will run a trick play or a quarterback will get injured. At +130, I'm willing to take over 2.5. The under isn't nearly as tasty at -160. Be warned, that in the past three Super Bowls, only the two starting quarterbacks have attempted passes. But in the Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl, there were four passers. The Rams have run two trick plays during the season with punter Johnny Hekker and receiver Cooper Kupp both attempting a pass. The Bengals also let receiver Tyler Boyd throw a pass this season.
Who performs first during halftime?

Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Roc NationThe Super Bowl halftime lineup is insane this year, featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Mary J. Blige. I would guess they're saving a big pop from the crowd when Snoop Dogg and Eminem hit the stage, so they're out as first performer. It makes sense that the halftime show would start slow with a build towards the end, so give me Mary J. Blige, who BetUS has as the favorite at +175 to perform first.
How many times will the chains be used for a measurement?
The officials measure to see if the Carolina Panthers have a first down against the New England Patriots during Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium on February 1, 2004 in Houston.
Donald Miralle/Getty ImagesBetUS has the over/under set at 1.5, and the odds are even for both. I have no statistics to back this up, but it sure seems like there are plenty of games with at least two measurements for a first down. Obviously, since the odds are even on both sides of the 1.5 measurements, it's not that easy, but give me the over and let's put those chain guys to work.
Odell Beckham receiving yards
Odell Beckham Jr. of the Los Angeles Rams runs with the ball in the first quarter of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Playoff game at Raymond James Stadium on January 23, 2022 in Tampa, Florida.
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesThe over/under on Beckham's receiving yards is 64.5 at BetUS. The former Giants and Browns receiver had 113 yards in the NFC Championship Game and 69 yards in the playoff win at Tampa Bay. This is his first Super Bowl and his time to shine, so I'm all in on Beckham going over 64.5 yards.
Joe Burrow touchdowns
Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals reacts after a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders during the second quarter of the AFC Wild Card playoff game at Paul Brown Stadium on January 15, 2022 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dylan Buell/Getty ImagesThe over/under on touchdowns thrown by the Bengals quarterback is 1.5 at BetUS. Burrow threw two touchdowns in each of the playoff wins against Kansas City and Las Vegas, but was shut out in the victory at Tennessee. The Titans' pass rush was in Burrow's face all game, and the Rams have an even better pass rush. That said, I'll take Burrow in an big game and say he throws at least two touchdown passes.
What will be greater: Shortest touchdown or rounds in the Derrick Lewis-Tai Tuivasa fight at UFC 271
Opponents Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa face off during the UFC 271 press conference at George R. Brown Convention Center on February 10, 2022 in Houston.
Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLCThis is a fun tie-in to Saturday night's UFC 271 at Houston's Toyota Center. Lewis, the Houston knockout king, and Tuivasa are going to slug it out and it likely could finish in a first-round knockout, but the shortest touchdown in four of the past five Super Bowls has been from one yard out. It makes sense that the odds on this at Bovada are even. I'm banking on another one-yard touchdown, so give me the rounds in Lewis-Tuivasa being greater and let's hope the fighters start a little slower than usual.
Bengals +4
Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals celebrates the Bengals win over the Kansas City Chiefs with teammate Tyler Shelvin in the AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium on January 30, 2022 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesThis isn't weird at all. Pretty straightforward: The Bengals are four-point underdogs against the Rams. The Bengals' Cinderella story could burst this weekend, but I think that Joe Burrow at least keeps it really close. Give me the Bengals and those free four points.
