No matter what is going on in the world, more than a hundred million people will tune into the Super Bowl on Sunday. Thus, sportsbooks trot out more bets than they do for any other event in the year.
Most of those bets have nothing to do with football. Some of those will not be available through legal sportsbooks in the United States. The rule of thumb remains that sportsbooks can offer only bets that are settled on the field.
For the most part, that makes sense. Preventing insider knowledge from steering a market holds merit. But sometimes, a laugh should be had, even in Super Bowl odds.
They provide far more laughs than NFL odds do, though once delving into those, look at some Seahawks vs. Patriots predictions, too.
How many Olympics promo commercials will air?
- 0-1: (+475)
- 2-3: (+115)
- 4-5: (+220)
- 6-7: (+525)
- 8+: (+245)
Take the 8+ commercials at +245. If an alt line existed, it would be worth betting on.
NBC paid $3 billion less than a year ago to retain its Olympics rights for another decade. Do you really think Peacock executives aren’t going to take advantage of the biggest audience of the year to help recoup that spend?
This limit doesn’t exist.

Will electrical substation near the stadium be mentioned?
- Yes (+200)
- No (-275)
Do you ever think the internet was a mistake? This is one of those moments where maybe the internet was a mistake. Some rumor, buried deep in the wasted time of the internet, prompted a player or two to worry about electromagnetic pulses in the Bay Area, and even typing this sentence was more time spent than this idiocy is worth.
The broadcast will not indulge this hysteria. Take the No despite the juice.

Which will be greater?
- Shortest Touchdown in Super Bowl LX (+105)
- Christian Pulisic Goals Scored in the World Cup (-135)
The instinct is to dissuade this bet because it effectively promises the sportsbook a loan until late summer.
But betting on Christian Pulisic could become a quick winner given the likelihood of a one- or two-yard touchdown on Sunday night. Meanwhile, the best U.S. scorer should manage at least three World Cup goals.
Which will be greater?
- Kawhi Leonard Points vs. Timberwolves on 2/8 (-110)
- Mack Hollins Receiving Yards in Super Bowl LX (-105)
- Tie (+2800)
Let’s use some logic. Mack Hollins’ receiving yardage prop is currently set at 24.5. Kawhi Leonard has exceeded that in his last three games, all coming since James Harden forced his way out of Los Angeles.
However, two of those times Leonard topped that number came only by the hook. He is not scoring in bunches without Harden around, which isn’t surprising given that Harden both set up Leonard and commanded the defense’s focus.
With the Minnesota Timberwolves likely better focused following a relatively quiet trade deadline, their defense should be trusted, and that defense should stifle Leonard.
Bet on Hollins.
Which Will Be Higher?
- Trump Approval Rating on Feb. 9 (+150)
- Total Points Scored in Super Bowl LX (-200)
Let’s again use some logic. Per The Economist, Donald Trump’s approval rating on Friday, February 6, was 41%. The Over/Under on Super Bowl LX is at 45.5.
That may seem like an easy bet. Take the total points scored, right?
Wrong.
At +150, there may actually be value in betting on Donald Trump’s approval rating, no matter the events of the real world in recent weeks. Look at it this way: FanDuel lists an alternate Under 41.5 at +144.
Taking Trump’s approval rating here is effectively a way to get a better price on that alternate Under.
