The Best Value Super Bowl LIII Prop Bets

January 31, 2019

The Super Bowl provides the biggest sports betting event on the United States’ calendar and there are markets for almost every aspect of the presentation.

The game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots is expected to draw over 100 million viewers in the States for CBS, anchoring the coverage.

It promises to be an active day from start-to-finish for bookmakers and punters, who will be desperately tracking events from the national anthem to the presentation of the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the end of the programme.

We’ll now break down the betting markets available, using the latest odds.

The stage is set for Super Bowl LIII

Pre-Game

The US national anthem – Star Spangled Banner – will be sung this year by Gladys Knight. The 74-year-old found notoriety between the 1960s and 1980s with her band Gladys Knight and the Pips, winning seven Grammys and earning 22 nominations. Knight is a native of Atlanta and will join names such as Beyonce, Jordin Sparks, Aretha Franklin and Dianna Ross to have performed the national anthem in their hometown. The most popular bet available for the anthem will be the length of the rendition.

Alicia Keys holds the current record at 156.4 seconds, roughly two and half minutes. Knight should come in under that mark at odds of 1.83Bet €100 to win €18383/100Bet £100 to win £183-120Bet $100 to win $1830.83Bet HK$100 to win HK$183-1.20Bet Rp100 to win Rp1830.8300Bet RM100 to win RM183  with BetOnline, although it will be over the 1 minute 50 barrier. Christina Aguilera famously forget the words to the Star Spangled Banner in Super Bowl XLV. Knight has odds of 4.00Bet €100 to win €4003/1Bet £100 to win £400+300Bet $100 to win $4003.00Bet HK$100 to win HK$4003.00Bet Rp100 to win Rp400-0.3333Bet RM100 to win RM400  with Bovada to forget or omit a word from the anthem.

The issue of kneeling during the national anthem has been a storyline in the NFL in recent years. It has abated somewhat this term therefore don’t expect anyone to be kneeling at 1.10Bet €100 to win €1101/10Bet £100 to win £110-1000Bet $100 to win $1100.10Bet HK$100 to win HK$110-10.00Bet Rp100 to win Rp1100.1000Bet RM100 to win RM110  with BetOnline.

Half-Time Show

Maroon 5 were selected by the NFL to perform at the half-time show, following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake. The act always provides a spectacle either for the right or wrong reasons as Janet Jackson discovered during her wardrobe malfunction in Super Bowl XXXIX.

The NFL have taken steps to ensure that there is no controversy this year amid calls for the band to make a political stance during the event. Adam Levine and his band-mates will be keen to let their music do the talking.

Their opening song is one of the most popular markets available “Makes Me Wonder” is the bookies’ consensus, but back “Sugar” to be their lead off at 10.00Bet €100 to win €10009/1Bet £100 to win £1000+900Bet $100 to win $10009.00Bet HK$100 to win HK$10009.00Bet Rp100 to win Rp1000-0.1111Bet RM100 to win RM1000  with Bovada.

Once the game comes to an end the tradition for the winning coach is to be doused in whatever drink is available on the sideline.

The Super Bowl MVP is likely to be one of the quarterbacks and they will be on the mic, being predictably asked who they’d like to thank for the award.
