With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the funniest and oddest Super Bowl LVII prop bets ahead of Sunday’s titanic matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
LeBron James’ stat sheet totals vs. Jalen Hurts’ rushing yards
One of the more interesting Super Bowl LVII prop bets pits NBA icon Lebron James against MVP finalist and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
On the Saturday before the football championship, James faces the Golden State Warriors. On one site fans can bet if the All-Star tallies more combined points, rebounds, and assists than the QB does rushing yards. The Lakers star’s number would place him around 46 for the night, while the talented running QB averaged just over 36 yards per game in 2022-2023.
Travis Kelce’s receiving yards vs. Jason Kelce snaps at Super Bowl LVII
One of the big stories of this year’s Super Bowl is of the Kelce brothers being on opposing sides for the game. Well, they are also being placed against each other in one Super Bowl prop bet. Where you can either wager on the receiving yards Pro Bowl Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce accumulates, or the number of snaps Jason Kelce delivers to Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.
The Kansas City Star is averaging around 79 yards per game and is a -6.5 favorite to beat his brother.
Scoring drive time vs. national anthem length
This year’s Super Bowl national anthem will be sung by eight-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton. While there are many bets on the length of his version of the song (over two minutes is the favorite), one oddsmaker is pitting the anthem length against one of the Super Bowl offenses.
With the Chiefs and Eagles having talented offensive units, either squad is a -180 favorite to have a faster scoring drive than Stapleton belts out the national anthem in 2023.
Super Bowl LVII prop bets for MVP speech first acknowledgments
Winning the Super Bowl is a major achievement on any NFL player’s resume, and there are tons of bets on who will win that honor in 2023, however, one of the best MVP-related bets is on who the eventual winner will thank first when accepting the award.

What team colors will Drake wear?

Will Rihanna have a wardrobe malfunction in the Super Bowl halftime show?
The halftime show for Super Bowl XXXVIII forever put “wardrobe malfunction” into the lexicon of the English language. Janet Jackson’s scandalous moment where her nipple was momentarily visible to the world during her performance will never be topped or forgotten by fans of the event.
However, one of the more hilarious Super Bowl LVII prop bets is a wager on if this year’s performer, Rihana, will have the same “wardrobe malfunction.” Unfortunately, for admirers of the superstar singer, a malfunction not happening is a massive -2500 favorite.
Will Rihanna expose her butt cheek on stage?
While Rihanna is unlikely to show off her bare bosom, there is a Super Bowl LVII bet on if the 34-year-old might showcase her ample posterior during halftime. That possibility is actually the favorite with it being a -120 bet ahead of Sunday’s game.
How many times will Tom Brady be mentioned during Super Bowl 57?

Results of the Puppy Bowl
One of the truly biggest and most important Super Bowl LVII prop bets (thick layer of sarcasm and all) is picking the winner of this year’s annual Puppy Bowl. The clash of titans that Animal Planet offers up every February will see Team Fluff vs. Team Ruff this Sunday. If that wager isn’t thrilling enough, there are also bets on the genders of the Puppy Bowl MVP.
Connor McDavid points vs Patrick Mahomes TD passes
In the same vein as James vs. Hurts, there is an NHL vs. NFL prop bet pitting Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid against Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes.
One wager will be on how many points McDavid tallies in the team’s 12:30 PM matchup against the Canadiens versus the number of touchdowns Mahomes scores on Sunday night. The NFL MVP is a -140 favorite to the man that already has scored 94 points so far this season.
