The best part about the Super Bowl? You can bet on all kinds of weird stuff. Here are my favorite weird prop bets:
If Steph Curry is show on TV during the broadcast what will he be wearing?
Personalized Carolina Steph Curry Jersey: 1/1
No Jersey: 2/1
Cam Newton Jersey: 3/1
Any Other Carolina Jersey: 5/1
Photos of Steph showing off his personalized Panthers jersey have oddsmakers thinking that this a lock. However, he also has been spotted rocking a Cam Newton jersey. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ayesha Curry in the personalized jersey while Steph dawns the “1” on his chest with “Newton” across the back. At 3-to-1 odds, why not?
Who will the Super Bowl MVP mention first?
God: 2/1
Team: 2/1
City/fans: 6/1
Coach: 15/2
Family: 15/1
Does not mention anyone above: 9/4
Going against God is not a great feeling, both morally and betting-wise, but Cam Newton did just have a son, so maybe Family is not a bad bet.
Which song will Coldplay play first during the halftime show?
Adventure of a Lifetime: 2/1
Fix You: 7/2
A Sky Full of Stars: 9/2
Viva la Vida: 5/1
Clocks: 15/2
Speed of Sound: 9/1
Head Full of Dreams: 10/1
Paradise: 10/1
I’ll admit I don’t know much about Coldplay, but I have heard of “Speed of Sound”. I’ll stay away from this one, but those odds are tempting.
Odds to win MVP
Brandon McManus: 66/1
It’s a long shot, but if there was ever a team that could win a Super Bowl without scoring a touchdown, it would be this Broncos squad. Imagine Denver wins 15-13 with all of its points coming from field goals. Actually, they would still find a way to give Peyton the MVP, so maybe stay away from this one as well.
