10 best prop bets to wager on for Super Bowl 53
By Nick Villano
Will They Mention Philly Special? Yes +250
This seems like the greatest lock with the best odds of any Super Bowl prop bet. It’s been one year since one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history where a quarterback caught a touchdown pass to bring Philadelphia its first Super Bowl Championship in franchise history.
So, you’re going to tell me that this announcing crew of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will resist the urge to mention the Philly Special?
This is a lock. Romo especially will mention the Philly Special when there’s any kind of trick play, which there will be, at any point during this game.
Largest Lead Of The Game – 14 1/2 (Under +110)
This matchup just doesn’t seem like the one where one team is going to grow to a big lead. The Patriots already pulled their “people think we suck” stretch of the season. The Rams are too good to let the Patriots gain a lead of more than two touchdowns. This is going to be one of those matchups that goes shot for shot. Stop for stop. Point for point.
This just doesn’t feel like one of those games with a big comeback. It seems like one of those games where a team gets a 10-point lead, then the other team scores a touchdown to drop it to three points, then they trade field goals, and the leads grows and shrinks often.
There is an outcome where a team goes out to a big lead, but it’s much less likely than the back and forth game we expect. This isn’t 28-3 against the Atlanta Falcons. Last year’s Super Bowl had a ton of points, but it never saw a 15-point lead. This will be a similar game.
Will There Be A Lead Change In Fourth Quarter (Yes +230)
This one comes down to one simple fact, no matter what a team will throw the kitchen sink at their opponent if they are down, and it likely means teams will give up a lead. In three of the last four Super Bowls, there was a lead change or tie in the fourth quarter. To get +230 on that bet, it just makes too much sense.
It’s really, really hard to get money like this on a prop bet without taking a serious risk. You make a $100 bet and you can walk away with $330. All that needs to happen is one team has to overcome a deficit in the most important quarter of the season. This is so likely to happen. These teams are very close, but when everything is on the line, some teams step up and make something happen.
Next. Steelers, Antonio Brown want to work out differences. dark
Go into this bet with confidence. You can make a lot of money if you play your cards right on this bet. Sure, more Super Bowls had teams go into the fourth quarter with a lead and actually win, but the NFL is so close this season that the Super Bowl will probably reflect that. This means there could be MULTIPLE lead changes in the fourth quarter.
