If the pressure of playing in the Super Bowl wasn’t intense enough, the possibility of overtime in the Big Game makes even the sturdiest knees buckle.
Could we see OT when the Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on February 8?
Historically, the chances are slim. But what’s the fun in betting that?
Super Bowl 60 overtime odds
Odds courtesy of BetMGM
Looking at the odds that Super Bowl LX goes to overtime, BetMGM lists “Yes” at +750 (11.76% implied probability) while “No” is priced at -2500 (96.15% implied probability).
These prop odds aren’t an accurate reflection of the possibility of overtime in Super Bowl 60.
Given historical OT percentages, there’s about a 4-5% shot of overtime between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. That should have the “Yes” prop paying closer to +2000.
There was a time when sportsbooks would offer “Yes OT” closer to this true price. However, those longer odds are gone after books paid out overtime in 2017 and 2024.
The Super Bowl overtime prop is very popular among public players and recreational bettors because of its high return. It always draws one-sided money rolling the dice on OT, with little buyback on “No” beyond sharp money showing up late to get a discount on the adjusted market.
These days, many operators protect themselves against a possible overtime outbreak by offering “Yes” shorter than +1000. That said, some bookmakers are still willing to stick their neck out, so shop around for the best return on this long-shot wager.

Overtime games in 2025-26
Looking at the 2025-26 regular season, 14 of the 272 total games played needed an extra frame (5%).
Six of those 14 games closed with a spread of a field goal or shorter, including a 38-37 overtime win by the Seahawks over the L.A. Rams as 1.5-point home chalk in Week 16.
So far in the NFL playoffs, two of 12 games have gone to overtime (17%), with those contests closing with spreads of two and four points.
Super Bowl 60 overtime prediction
For most bettors (myself included), I’m not laying $2,500 to win $100 on “No OT”. If you can afford it, I suggest waiting until closer to kickoff to see how low “No” goes, given all the action will be on “Yes”.
The Super Bowl OT prop is a fun wager and should be treated as such. Depending on your bankroll, go ahead and throw $5, $10, or $20 down and hold out hope for a close contest.
As always, shop around and get the most bang for your buck. Maybe... just maybe... we can make some big money off of free football in Super Bowl LX.
