Tips for Betting Super Bowl Props in 2025

Tips for betting Super Bowl props A.J. Brown Philadelphia Eagles

We are just two days away from the biggest betting event of the year, as Super Bowl LIX, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, is set to kickoff this Sunday. As sports betting continues to become available and popular, so do the player and novelty prop bets.

Though betting on the game itself through the spread and the game total is traditionally where people spend most of their time and resources, in recent years, the introduction to novelty bets such as the result of the coin toss and the winner, the duration of the National Anthem, and the color of the Gatorade bath have grown in popularity and have become another avenue of walking away from the Super Bowl with more money in your pocket.

With all the options available and the multitude of specials being floated around from sportsbook to sportsbook, to all the noise about Taylor Swift appearances and pending officiating interruptions, it is easy to be completely lost and in foreign territory. So whether you are new to betting or looking to fine-tune your approach to the Super Bowl, here are some valuable tips to consider ahead of kickoff.

Fundamentals, Not Hype

With no bigger betting event than the Super Bowl, it is easy to get lost in the hype and availability of options which could be detrimental to your success. With so many things to choose from, like player props to novelty props, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the endless possibilities and potential outcomes, so it is vitally important to not forget your fundamentals. At the end of the day, we are all trying to walk away with more money than we started with so it’s essential not to forget the steps you took to build your existing bank roll. Staying disciplined and true to your form, if it works of course, is the best course of action instead of throwing money left and right at all these Taylor Swift bets and instead focusing on the X’s and O’s you know, that are backed with useful metrics. Focus on your sustained approach and not the “endless possibilities” of the Super Bowl.

Know the Limits of Your Coffer

Bouncing off the idea of focusing on the fundamentals, know your coffer. Don’t forget the value of your stack of money. It’s best to preserve the integrity of your bankroll and avoid being impulsive. There may be some high value bets you could have missed on the first go around, or that occur leading up to the game or during the game itself, but it is important to not stretch your limits and dig yourself into an even deeper hole. If you have struck out with the coin toss or length of the national anthem, don’t jump on the first live-action odd tilt just to try and make the ground up. Expand your portfolio on the game beforehand and trust the strategies you have in place (if they work). There is a lot of fun surrounding the Super Bowl but remember March Madness is soon on hand. If you dig yourself into a big hole, you will miss out on the fun surrounding the ultimate college basketball tournament.

Trends Are Trends

Regular season trends lose value when the postseason roles around and the small sample size of the postseason may even become void when the Super Bowl kicks off, however, numbers don’t lie. There is an extremely long list of valuable trends that apply to this year’s Super Bowl matchup so do your research. Patrick Mahomes is 13-0 in his career playing inside a dome and he is also 7-0 ATS in playoff games when the spread is less than three points. With the game inside the Caesars Superdome and the current projection has the Chiefs favored by just -1.5 points, these trends have merit. The Eagles have been off to historically hot starts this postseason and teams that score first have won the Super Bowl 63.7% of the time. The underdog has covered 16 of the past 24 Super Bowls and teams with the worst record (of the two) is 17-3 over the past 20 Super Bowls. There is no guarantee that all of these trends will continue in this matchup, but they exist for a reason and there is value in capitalizing on what the numbers tell us.

Multiple Sportsbooks

This is a popular and widely effective tip in general, but especially during the time of the biggest betting event in sports. Spreading your bets amongst multiple sportsbooks allows you to shop for value and it diversifies your options. From small to big differences, opening accounts (responsibly) opens up the possibility of getting better odds for your picks and these differences could add up over time. Though it would require you to invest time in scouring the different sportsbooks as well as requiring you to be organized, this is a tip that could lead to more money for your pocket. In addition to the difference in odds, some sportsbooks may be offering special promotions that others aren’t which could boost your profits by the end of the day. If you have the time to invest and the organizational skills necessary to keep track of everything, this is a highly recommended approach.
