The Super Bowl is the most popular event for sports betting each year. In addition to the standard wagers, NFL betting sites also release hundreds of prop bets for the big game.
As you can imagine, not all of the prop bets pertain to the action on the field. In fact, there are some prop bets that will definitely make you scratch your head or think OMG or WTF.
Without any further delay, check out our list of the craziest Super Bowl 55 prop bets.
Coach to Have Nostrils Seen First During Game
- Bruce Arians (-200)
- Andy Reid (+150)
It’s appropriate that the first prop bet of the crazy kind has to do with the pandemic. This prop takes a look at what type of face mask each coach will wear and who will show their nostrils first.
In recent games, Andy Reid has worn a full Chiefs cloth mask almost like a bandana. It’s a far cry from his face shield that he wore in the beginning of the season, which became a national punchline.
With Bruce Arians, he has gone the mask route for the closing stretch of the season. However, the mask seemed to look like a kids’ size instead of one made for an adult. Half the time, he didn’t even have it covering his nose.
Take Arians for this prop bet even though there’s no value.
SB 55 Bet: Bruce Arians (-200)
How Will Sarah Thomas Wear Her Hair?
- Down (Ponytail) (-300)
- Up (in Hat) (+200)
For those that don’t who Sarah Thomas is, she will become the first female to have ever officiated in a Super Bowl. This is just another feather in her cap of being a trailblazer for women in regards to officiating major football games.
Thomas became the first full-time female official in 2015. She was also the first female official of a Playoff game having accomplished that historic feat in January 2019. Thomas was the first female to officiate a major College Football game as well.
This prop bet is based on the live broadcast only, not the halftime or commercials. Additionally, it’s the first time she appears on the live broadcast that counts.
The majority of the time, we’ve seen Thomas wear her hair down in a ponytail. So, there’s no reason to think she will change up her hairstyle for the Super Bowl.
#SarahThomas is breaking barriers as the first woman ever to officiate this upcoming #superbowl.
We are so proud to have her as part of our #BlueDeltaFamily! pic.twitter.com/Q4K3QPqAGy— Blue Delta Jean Co. (@bluedeltajeans) January 26, 2021
SB 55 Bet: Down (Ponytail) (-300)
Will Any Player Slap Sarah Thomas on the Butt?
- No (-10000)
- Yes (+1600)
Of all the prop bets available for Super Bowl 55, this is the one that I believe is the craziest.
Can you imagine the public outcry if a player slapped Thomas on the butt during the game?
Now, football is a sport where players, coaches and refs pat each other on the butt for good plays and good effort.
Yet, it’s clearly a different matter when one of the referees is a female. There’s absolutely no way that any player, coach or ref will slap Thomas on the butt.
What Will be Mentioned First?
- Tom Brady’s 10th Super Bowl (-140)
- Tom Brady’s Age 43 (+100)
When Tom Brady gets on the field for Super Bowl 55, he will officially become the oldest player to have ever played in a Super Bowl. Additionally, he will extend his record of Super Bowl appearances to 10.
Since we’ve heard a lot about Brady going to nine Super Bowls already, I have a feeling that the commentators will mention his age first since it sets an NFL record. Additionally, it provides better value.
The odds should be “even” considering both of these options are going to happen. Go with the value and the new record.
SB 55 Bet: Tom Brady’s Age 43 (+100)
Will Miley Cyrus’ Side Boob Be Seen at Super Bowl 55?
- No (-350)
- Yes (+225)
Miley Cyrus is the headline act for the tailgate party for Super Bowl 55. This performance will stream live on TikTok beginning at 2:30 PM ET. Part of Cyrus’ performance will also be shown on CBS’ pregame show.
.@mileycyrus will be at Super Bowl LV to perform at the first-ever #TikTokTailgate – the NFL’s pregame event for the 7,500 vaccinated health care heroes who have been invited to attend #SBLV
Join the tailgate FEB 7 at 2:30 PM ET on @tiktok_us & @CBS! pic.twitter.com/oMkQnnwBEM
— NFL (@NFL) January 24, 2021
This show will also be only for the 7,500 healthcare workers that have received free Super Bowl tickets from the league.
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to scandals and showing off her naked body. But, would she actually allow any side boobs to be seen or have a wardrobe malfunction?
The safe bet is “No,” but this is Cyrus and the “Yes” option is worthy of a small flier.
First Interracial Couple Shown
- White Woman/Black Man (-150)
- Black Woman/White Man (+110)
This prop bet has to do with the Super Bowl commercials. Essentially, you are betting on which scenario will happen first.
It’s great that we live in an era where interracial relationships are cherished and not frowned upon like they were a few generations ago. Yet, I was a bit surprised that this became a prop bet. I’ve not seen anything like this in recent years.
With that said, stick with the favored option here as there’s no reason to go against the grain on this one.
SB 55 Bet: White Woman/Black Man (-150)
