Super Bowl LV - Chiefs vs. Bucs Novelty Prop Picks and Bets 💰

With the Big Game, comes not only first touchdown bets and QB throwing yards, but also a host of fun novelty plays that can be just as, if not more, fun to root for on the best day of the year when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55.

The various online sportsbooks across the US have a range of different novelty props for some action around the game, that include things like the coin toss, the gatorade shower and even the half-time show.

We've researched Super Bowls past to identify the trends and also asked our in-house sharps what they think will go down pre-game, post-game and at half-time.

Let's get into some of the best novelty props for Super Bowl LV👇

🎉 Pre-game novelty markets

Coin toss

The first and most popular pre-game prop market is of course the coin toss. Now, there's clearly no way to have any inside knowledge on this one but it's still a very fun way to get your (potentially virtual) parties started, betting your friends whether the coin will land on heads or tails.

National anthem

The other way you can make some money on the pre-game is through the national anthem which is set to be sung by Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan. Thanks to super fan and reddit user, u/billdb, we have the following info to base our bets on:

This my time to shine!

• Will Church wear a jean jacket: No -270

• Will Church wear a leather jacket: Yes -150

• Will Church wear a cowboy hat: No -500

• Will Church wear sunglasses: No +225

• Color of Sullivan's top: Black +200 and White +250

• Will Sullivan wear a hat: No -300

• Style of Sullivan's shoe: Open toe +140

What kind of singer would be wearing a hat during the national anthem?! Church wearing a jean jacket is also a pretty big stretch, that's way too casual for this kind of event and he seems to prefer leather anyway. I was all in on sunglasses but when I asked r/ericchurch about it they seemed to have mixed opinions. Like maybe he wants to be more respectful and won't wear shades. So a sprinkle on No +225.

The color of Sullivan's top is interesting, she seems to usually wear black, but she talked about this being the 30th anniversary of Whitney Houston's GOAT performance and Houston wore white, so there might be a callback to that. I'll just take both and pray there's not a clothing upset. The style of shoe, honestly I have no fucking clue, just thought it was hilarious I could bet on someone's shoe choice. Sullivan is from Philly, doubt she's been wearing open-toed shoes for months, maybe she relishes that opportunity in warm Tampa.

As for the length of the national anthem, well, this seems like it might be kinda illegal, but one fan found an edge by going to rehearsals at Raymond James Stadium and recording the anthem when it was sung. Talk about insider's knowledge!

🎉 Half-time novelty markets

The Weeknd

The half-time entertainment is a staple of the Super Bowl and this year we have one if the biggest pop stars in the world taking center stage, with The Weeknd performing a set that he himself has invested $7million into!

Back to Reddit and its user u/talktobigfudge who has provided us with some solid information again:

I've posted this before, but the last The Weeknd concert was the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in December. He closed with Save Your Tears (+650). He's closed with that song twice since August.

On top of the songs that the Blinding Lights star is going to perform, some sportsbooks also have markets on his outfits. u/playboicarti (probably not that one, no) is confident the Over hits in this one:

I'd say take the Over on whatever The Weeknd’s outfit changes. He's going very character heavy for this new album. Gonna assume one outfit for whatever Starboy track he does, one for I Can't Feel My Face and two for After Hours.

🎉 Post-game novelty markets

Gatorade shower

Now, this one is fun! And you actually have some logic behind your pick too. The Chiefs went with orange after their win last year and host of the House Edge Podcast, Ian Gold, can see them going down the same path due to superstition and not wanting to upset the apple cart. So a potential play here is to take the orange Gatorade as a way of getting boosted odds on the Chiefs moneyline!

Both the Chiefs and the Bucs could go down a different path, so we asked our experts for their picks, with red and orange looking the most popular. Check out the rest of experts' gatorade shower picks as well as predicted scores and MVP picks in The Sharps' Side.
