The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl XLVIII champions after easily dismantling the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, but what about the prop bets that you may have decided to have a little fun with?

Here is a look at how some of the top prop bets played out on average, according to RJ Bell of Pregame.com:
