Fun Super Bowl 2021 Props
You've got your drinks, you've got your food, and you've got your big TV moved in front of your favorite seat. Now it's time to get your favorite Super Bowl proposition bets ready for the big day.
Will it be the offensive show that we saw the last time Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes met in the playoffs? Will the weather forecast have an influence on which wagers you place? What crazy play has Andy Reid created in the last two weeks?
Cross Sports Props
One more question is how the Super Bowl will compare to other sporting events taking place around the world.
For example, the Knicks game vs. the Miami Heat on Sunday. The bet: Which will be higher, Tom Brady's total completions or first-quarter points scored by the Knicks?
The over/under line on Brady completions is 25.5. The Knicks are averaging 26.1 points in the first quarter this season.
Or, which will be higher, total punts in Super Bowl LV or the total aces by Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open first round? The Chiefs and Buccaneers combined for three punts on Championship Sunday.
The top-seeded Djokovic isn't known as a big-time server, but at the 2020 Australian Open, he recorded 14 aces in the first round.
Online sportsbooks are also letting you bet on which will be higher, Mahomes interceptions in the Super Bowl or penalties awarded in Wolverhampton vs. Leicester City.
Mahomes threw two interceptions in the Super Bowl last year. When Wolverhampton and Leicester City last met in November, there was one penalty.
Super Bowl Comparisons
The Chiefs are going for the repeat, so almost their entire roster has played in a previous Super Bowl. The Buccaneers have far less experience, except for Brady, who has seemingly played in every Super Bowl ever played.
There are a host of proposition bets that compare how players will do from a past Super Bowl to this one.
