What are Super Bowl prop bets?
For the uninitiated, prop bets may be an unfamiliar term or one you’ve heard but know nothing about. Simply put, they are wagers during a sporting event that has nothing to do with the outcome of a game. And they are a popular way for bettors to keep things interesting during games and Super Bowl prop bets are some of the most memorable.
The two most common prop bets are your traditional bets and the weird bets that seem too outlandish to be real. Below you can find a more in-depth description.
- Traditional Prop Bets: These Super Bowl bets are based on in-game occurrences for the players and teams involved. For example, how many catches, touchdowns, or yards a given player may post.
- Weird Prop Bets: Weird and/or funny Super Bowl bets are some of the most notable ahead of the game. They are often so ridiculous and will never happen, or a unique mash-up of pop culture and sports that can often be too hard to pass on. Like how long the national anthem will go or if a fan will get arrested for running on the field.

10 of the weirdest Super Bowl 58 prop bets
How many times will Taylor Swift be shown?
If you have been watching Chiefs games this season you are quite used to cameras taking a look at the luxury boxes to get reactions from pop icon Taylor Swift, as she cheers on boyfriend Travis Kelce. That will be no different on Super Bowl Sunday when she is likely to make a world-wind trip from a concert date in Japan to see him play in Las Vegas.
With the world watching, CBS is sure to pan cameras her way during the game, and current lines have them doing it over four times. That seems like a very safe bet in a game that is likely to have a bunch of scoring.

Chiefs win, Taylor Swift goes to the White House with the team and endorses Biden
One unique Super Bowl prop bet has a political element to it. One site has a wager that sees the Chiefs winning Super Bowl 58, Taylor Swift accompanying them to the White in a few weeks, and then endorsing incumbent President Joe Biden in his bid to win re-election. Swift has stayed out of the political sphere for much of her career but has been more outspoken on social issues in recent years.
The Biden administration will likely be hoping she does attend since recent reports claim they are trying to get an endorsement from the music superstar ahead of the November elections.
Las Vegas is invaded by aliens and the game ends in a tie
Now, the weirdest bet for the Big Game has a pretty fun extra-terrestrial lean. The game will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, a state almost as famous for its rumored alien crash as it is for gambling. One Super Bowl 58 bet is that there will be a shocking alien invasion that will force the game to end in a tie.
While it is something you can certainly bet against, it would be interesting to wager on if they are visiting to learn about humanity or see Taylor Swift.

How long will it take Reba McEntire to sing the national anthem?
One bet that has become consistent when it comes to weird Super Bowl prop bets is the length of the national anthem. For this year’s game, country music legend Reba McEntire will be singing the song. While the anthem is an afterthought for most, this unique bet will be cause for some funny moments for those at home as they either scream for her to cut the song short or give them a big flourish at the end for a winning bet.
What team will Drake curse at Super Bowl 58?
Hip hop star Drake is not just an avid sports fan but he is also an accomplished sports better. However, some believe a “Drake Curse” exists after teams he has supported by wearing their jerseys on game day went on to take crushing losses. In 2024 fans can also hilariously bet on whether the “Drake Curse” will live in this year’s game.
Will there be a second shirtless Jason Kelce sighting?
Philadelphia Eagles center and future Hall-of-Famer Jason Kelce went viral during the Chiefs Divisional Round win over the Bills for celebrating his brother Travis’ success by ripping off his shirt and howling in joy. It was a hilarious moment that many are wondering if it will happen again on Sunday.
On one betting site, there is a wager on whether Kelce will remove his shirt again this Sunday, and the current odds surprisingly — or maybe not — have it as a strong possibility.

Will a player achieve an ‘octopus’?
One unique bet that NFL fans may not have heard of is if one of the players in the Feb. 11 game will pull off the scoring rarity known as the “octopus.” The only way a player can achieve this feat is by scoring a touchdown (six points), and being the man who scores on a two-point conversation (two points), which adds to eight. Hence the octopus name.
While it seems nearly impossible, Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts actually did it last year.
What Gatorade color will be poured on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58?
A traditional moment in every Super Bowl game is the iconic Gatorade bath the winning coach gets. For Super Bowl 58, fans can bet on the color of the hydration drink that will be poured on either Andy Reid or Kyle Shanahan. Purple is the current favorite, but red, blue, green, orange, and clear are some of the other options.
Will any player propose to his girlfriend on the field after the game?
With so much focus this year on the relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, love is certainly in the air for the Big Game. That is why another one of the odder bets this year is if any player from the Chiefs or 49ers will propose to their significant other at the NFL title game.
Will there be a scorigami?
Some wagerers will have the chance to place their money on an NFL first occurring during Super Bowl 58, and that is of the legendary scorigami. The term was created to mean a score that has never happened before in an NFL game. Considering the long history of the league, it seems like the second most unlikely bet to happen just behind an alien landing at Allegiant Stadium.
