Super Bowl 59: Bet On Some Fun Super Bowl Novelty Prop Bets

Anyone can have fun putting a little extra scratch on the silliest and most mundane events of Super Bowl 59. From coin tosses, to anthems, to jersey numbers, to halftime performers and their antics, you can truly bet on anything at the Super Bowl.

What a time to be alive! There are quite literally hundreds of options out there when it comes to these party props and novelty bets, so we’ve cobbled together our five favorites for you from the top betting sites in Canada.

Total Number of Times Taylor Swift is Shown On Broadcast - o6.5 (-115) (Bodog Sportsbook)

Taylor Swift, as was the case last year, is going to be the focus of a lot of Super Bowl betting. There’s just no way of getting around it. So, whether you appreciate her presence, hate it with a passion, or simply don’t mind it (we’d put ourselves in that last category), you might as well make some money off it, right? 

This is one of the most common Taylor Swift-centric props out there, and it’s one we had success betting on last season in Super Bowl 58. During that game, she was shown a whopping 11 times, almost doubling the 6.5 line. Her hubby, Travis Kelce, had nine receptions for 93 yards on 10 targets in that game. When Kelce does well, the reaction shots to the Swift-Kelce box are inevitable.

So, if you think Kelce is going to have a big game, this one’s a no-brainer. Swift was shown six times against the Texans (seven receptions for 117 yards and a TD) and just thrice versus the Bills (two receptions for 19 yards), which speaks to the theory that more Kelce catches equals more shots of Tay-Tay going nuts in her box.

Color Of First Sports Drink Liquid Poured On Winning Head Coach - Purple (+300) (Bodog) 

At most other NFL sportsbooks, the favorite for this prop is purple, but on Bodog, it’s actually 2nd, sitting behind Lime/Green/Yellow. Because of that, it’s offering a little more value at Bodog than elsewhere. The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl in each of the past two years, and after both of those games, the Chiefs players poured something purple on Andy the Walrus.

K.C. is going for a three-peat on the field, so one would think that they’ll be trying to replicate some of the conditions from their last two wins. Sports players and fans are notoriously superstitious. So, if they won with purple Gatorade (or whatever their sports drink sponsor is), in the last two Super Bowls, rational superstitious thinking would suggest they’re going to go with it again.

First TD Scorer Jersey Number - Even (+130) (Bodog) 

Because of the numbers on the jerseys of the main offensive weapons on both teams, this prop is pretty much a bet on who’s going to win the coin toss. And we’re expecting the Chiefs to take it. They’ve done so in their last three Super Bowl appearances in a row, and in three of the last four games Patrick Mahomes has started overall. 

On the Chiefs side, you have 15, 87, 11, 29, and 1. Unless you think DeAndre Hopkins scores it, it’s going to be odd. For Philly, Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown are also on the odd side. 

But the rest of the Eagles playmakers are even number guys. 26, 6, and 88 are the numbers we’ll be looking for. Unless the Birds get it right down to the 1-yard-line, where Hurts and his No. 1 jersey will take over, we should be good if the Eagles get the first shot on offense.

Humble To Be First Song Performed By Kendrick Lamar - (+115) (Fanduel) 

After sweeping the Grammys, Kendrick Lamar continues his run of success with what is sure to be a spectacular Super Bowl halftime show. Much has been made of his beef with Drake, but that has mostly cooled off in recent weeks. If he does perform one of the tracks where he takes a shot at Drizzy, we expect it to come in the middle of the show. Same with any collaborations.

Kendrick wants the walkout to be his walkout. And what better way to walk out than with arguably his biggest song: Humble. It is currently the favorite, but with +115 odds, still offering more than enough value for us to bite. If you’ve been following Premier League football, the phrase “stay humble” has become a common saying surrounding his favorite club, Arsenal, in recent weeks. It’s a long shot that this has any effect on his choice, but still worth noting.

Celebrity Guest To Perform On Stage At Halftime - Jay Rock (+205) (Bet99 sportsbook) 

There are a lot of intriguing options, Metro Boomin and Future stand out to us in particular at +185, but the one offering the best value to us is Lamar’s TDE label-mate, Jay Rock, at205. The pair don’t have a ton of songs together, but one of them, Money Trees, from Kendrick’s critically acclaimed album good kid, m.A.A.d. city, is one of his well-regarded songs, and it can certainly set a mood.

We’d be shocked if Kendrick doesn’t include Money Trees in his setlist, which usually range from 8-12 songs at the Super Bowl. And if he performs it, it would be a travesty not to bring Jay out to do his verse.
