2023 Super Bowl Prop Bets Guide
From Jalen Hurts passing yards to National Anthem over/unders, prop bets are a big part of what makes the Super Bowl betting experience what it is. Below is a list of some of the most popular prop bet wagers one can make heading into Super Bowl 57 along with updated odds information for each and historical data to inform one’s prop bet analysis.
Super Bowl Player Props
NFL player props allow prospective bettors to place wagers on individual player actions. These actions are broken down into statistical categories such as rushing yards, passing yards, rushing attempts, receptions etc… with a projected over/under value assigned to each player for each statistical category.
In the context of Super Bowl 57, an example of this would be Jalen Hurts passing yards. Currently, sportsbooks have Jalen Hurts projected to pass for 235.5 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57. Those who believe Hurts will pass for more than 235.5 yards can bet the over on this prop and those who believe he will not can bet the under.
The best part about the Super Bowl is that there are markets for a number of different props. These markets are included below.
Super Bowl Prop Bets: Passing
Major sportsbook operators such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, BetRivers, and more all have odds for Passing props heading into Super Bowl 57. Currently, these props include everything from over/unders on passing yards to over/unders on the number of players to attempt a pass and everything in-between. The best way to get the most up-to-date information on these props is to check the “passing props” tab in the top navigation bar of your sportsbook of choice. Those who don’t have a mobile sportsbook app can find an up-to-date list of passing yardage props below.
Super Bowl Prop Bets: Rushing
Similar to passing props, Super Bowl rushing props are covered by each of the major sportsbooks heading into this weekend’s showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia. Leading the board in projected rushing yards is Eagles running back Miles Sanders, followed by Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco, and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
While yards is the most popular market for Super Bowl rushing prop bets, individuals can also bet on markets such as “longest rush” and “rushing attempts” among others. Each of these types of rushing prop bets can be found in the top navigation bar of one’s sportsbook of choice.
Super Bowl Prop Bets: Receiving
Finally, individuals looking to bet on lines for their favorite receiver heading into Super Bowl 57 will have ample opportunity to do so via Super Bowl receiving props. From yardage to receptions, sportsbooks have markets for almost any receiving state one can find in a box score. One of the more intriguing aspects of this prop is that it allows individuals to bet on all projected pass catchers in the game, instead of limiting the selection to exclusively wide receivers.
Entering Super Bowl 57, for example, running backs Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco are both expected to have over 1 reception, while tight ends Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert are listed as premiere pass catchers ahead of the game. Individuals can find the best receiving prop odds for Super Bowl 57 pass catchers in the table above or at their local sportsbook.
Super Bowl MVP Prop
Super Bowl MVP odds allow individuals to place a wager on which player they believe will be the most outstanding individual in the Super Bowl. Because winning the Super Bowl MVP award is largely contingent on one’s team winning the Super Bowl, sportsbooks provide these odds at “plus money”, allowing people to more than double their money with the correct bet. Historically, the Super Bowl MVP has been a quarterback centric award, though it may be worth noting that two of the last four have been pass catchers and two of the last 9 have been defensive players.
Super Bowl Game Props
In addition to prop bets for different players playing in Super Bowl 57, individuals can also wager on the likelihood of certain things happening in a game via Super Bowl game props. Game prop bets include markets such as “Any team to score 30+ points” and “Odds of each team to score 1+ touchdown and 1+ field goal”. On most sportsbooks, there is a tab in the top navigation bar of the Super Bowl LVII page that will direct individuals to each of these game props
Exotic Super Bowl Props Bets
One thing that sets the Super Bowl apart from other football games is the pageantry associated with it. Included in this pageantry are events such as the singing of the National Anthem, the dumping of the gatorade on the winning coach and the ceremonial coin toss to start the game.
For viewers, this is all part of the pomp and circumstance that comes along with the Super Bowl. For bettors, these events provide a way to make some money on events that have less to do with the game and more to do with the entertainment around it.
Below are some of the more popular exotic prop bet markets, including the National Anthem over/under, coin toss, and gatorade bath.
National Anthem Odds
While this number has moved around, the current over/under for the Super Bowl sits at 1 minute and 59 seconds. After hitting the over in 3 of the last 4 years, an over in 2023 would mean that Chris Stapleton would need to sing the longest national anthem at the Super Bowl since Luke Bryan in 2017. That said, Stapleton’s musical style certainly lends itself to a slow, drawn out anthem — as evidenced by the lengthy choruses in some of his most poplar songs (i.e., Tennessee Whisky and Broken Halos).
Find some updated historical data on the last decade of the Super Bowl National anthem, including over/under results and official times.
| Year | Singer | Over/under | Actual Time | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Chris Stapleton | 2:05 | 2:01 (Video) | Under |
| 2022 | Mickey Guyton | 1:35 | 1:52 (Video) | Over |
| 2021 | Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church | 1:59 | 2:17 (Video) | Over |
| 2020 | Demi Lovato | 1:55 | 1:49 (Video) | Under |
| 2019 | Gladys Knight | 1:47 | 2:01 (Video) | Over |
| 2018 | Pink | 2:00 | 1: 52 (Video) | Under |
| 2017 | Luke Bryan | 2:09 | 2:04 (Video) | Under |
| 2016 | Lady Gaga | 2:22 | 2:22 (Video) | Over |
| 2015 | Idina Menzel | 2:02 | 2:04 (Video) | Over |
| 2014 | Renée Fleming | 2:23 | 2:03 (Video) | Under |
| 2013 | Alicia Keys | 2:15 | 2:36 (Video) | Over |
Coin Toss Odds
Most sportsbooks currently have the coin toss odds split evenly at +100 for both heads and tails. Though betting on the coin toss is the true essence of gambling, the lack of a sportsbook tax makes it a generally attractive proposition. Generally, sportsbooks juice odds on anything they deem to have a 50/50 chance of occurring. Markets such as spread and total bets qualify as events the sportsbooks deem as 50/50 propositions. Despite this, bettors have to swallow a 10 percent tax on these bets, making it hard to win consistently over time.
In the case of the coin toss, however, individuals can get a true 50/50 proposition at it’s fair market value of +100.
As far as history goes, heads and tails have split evenly at 5 a piece. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about the coin toss is the fact that the winner of the last 8 coin tosses has gone on to lose the Super Bowl. Below is some historical data for the last 10 years of the Super Bowl coin toss.
| Super Bowl | Matchup | Coin Toss Result | Toss Winner | Super Bowl Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVI | Bengals vs Rams | Heads | Bengals | Rams |
| LV | Chiefs vs Buccaneers | Heads | Chiefs | Buccaneers |
| LIV | Chiefs vs 49ers | Tails | 49ers | Chiefs |
| LIII | Patriots vs Rams | Heads | Rams | Patriots |
| LII | Patriots vs Eagles | Heads | Patriots | Eagles |
| LI | Patriots vs Falcons | Tails | Falcons | Patriots |
| L | Broncos vs Panthers | Tails | Panthers | Broncos |
| XLIX | Patriots vs Seahawks | Tails | Seahawks | Patriots |
| XLVIII | Broncos vs Seahawks | Tails | Seahawks | Seahawks |
| XLVII | Ravens vs 49ers | Heads | Ravens | Ravens |
Halftime Show Props
Similar to the National Anthem, halftime props include bets such as “Which song is Rhianna going to sing first”, “how many songs will be performed at the halftime show”, and “what color will Rhianna’s outfit be”.
While conventional sportsbooks such as FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM don’t offer these props, individuals can usually bet on them via online, offshore books.
Gatorade Color Props
To cap off the night with exotic props, individuals can bet on what color they think the Gatorade bath will be. This is one of the few exotic props that doesn’t force bettors to venture to an offshore book to place a wager. Sportsbooks such as DraftKings, BetMGM, and PointsBet all give their customers access to Gatorade color prop markets and, as such, anyone in a legal state will be able to place a wager on them.
Currently, most sportsbooks have yellow/green as the odds on favorite, followed by orange, blue, red/pink, clear, and none. If someone has a hunch on the Gatorade color heading into the Super Bowl, they will be able to get a bet down at “+” money, meaning that, if they are correct, sportsbooks will pay out more than double what they wagered.
Here is a breakdown of how bettors on PointsBet sportsbook are approaching the Gatorade color prop heading into the weekend.
Defensive Props
Defensive props are essentially player props for defensive stats. Since most of what an NFL defense does is not measured in numeric statistics the selections on these props are much slimmer. Some examples of defensive props include sack over/unders, tackles, interceptions, and first sack.
Heading into Super Bowl 57, DraftKings sportsbook has Eagles Defensive End Brandon Graham and Chiefs Defensive End Frank Clark with the two highest projected sack totals, respectively, followed by Chiefs Defensive End Brandon Graham and Eagles Defensive End Haason Reddick. As the market is currently situated, 1 sack would cash the over on each player.
When it comes to tackles on the game, Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton is projected to have the most with 10.5, followed by Eagles linebacker TJ Edwards at 8.5.
On the interception front, the option with the shortest odds is a “no interception” game at +210 odds. If there is to be an interception in the game, the individual with the shortest odds to have one are Darius Slay at +700.

Special Team Props
Like defensive props, special teams props allow bettors to place wagers on markets such as kicking points, longest field goal, longest punt, and more. These markets can provide some interesting value on a game-to-game basis as they are subject to a high amount of volatility. When looking at kicking props specifically, it’s important to note factors such as how often a team goes for it on fourth down and how good a team’s kicker is.
Using information from the 2022 regular season, one can see that went for it on fourth down just 12 times. This was the second fewest amongst NFL teams on the season. The Philadelphia Eagles, meanwhile, went for it on 4th down 32 times — good enough for 4th best on the season. Going blindly off this information, one is led to believe that Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is more likely to attempt several field goals on Sunday than Eagles kicker Jake Elliott.
Currently, both Butker and Elliot are projected at over/under 7.5 kicking points. Butker’s line has a little more juice a -120 — meaning one would need to wager $120 to win $100 — while Elliott’s line is set at +105.

When Do Super Bowl Prop Bets Get Paid Out
Depending on the prop bet, Super Bowl props will either be paid out immediately once the result has been determined or in the hours following the conclusion of the game. Sam game parlays with a number of different prop bets will likely be the ones that take the longest to pay out, while straight bets on popular props such as passing or rushing yards will usually be the quickest.
Super Bowl Prop Bets Summary
As their name suggests, prop bets come in a number of different forms. While some markets correlate to one another, others are completely unrelated. Understanding what prop bets have a positive correlation (e.g., passing yards and receiving yards) is an important part of understanding how to approach prop bet markets. That said, value can be found in the prop space regardless of the market. Ultimately, one of the most attractive aspects of these markets, especially as it pertains to the Super Bowl, is the entertainment value they provide. While spread betting and total betting, there is something precious about nailing an obscure prop bet that was unique to one’s own analysis.
