Super Bowl Prop Bets: Coolest Bets to Make Your Super Bowl Party More Exciting

If there's one thing missing from your Super Bowl party that will make it much more exciting, it's probably prop bets.

Prop bets are wagers on literally anything, like how long the national anthem will take to sing or how many times Peyton Manning will be shown on camera during the broadcast.

Making some friendly wagers with your friends on these prop bets can add some excitement to the game, especially for people at your party who aren't a fan of the New York Giants or New England Patriots.

Let's look at four awesome prop bets you should wager on between your friends.

National anthem attire

In case you didn't know, pop star Kelly Clarkson will be performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, and one interesting prop bet is what she'll be wearing while singing the nation's anthem.

Odds according to Bovada:

Super Bowl/NFL shirt +300
Colts jersey/shirt +500
Patriots jersey/shirt +700
Giants jersey/shirt +1500
Anything else -300

Number of Tim Tebow mentions by announcers

NBC has this year's Super Bowl so the announcing team of play-by-play man Al Michaels and color commentator Cris Collinsworth will be entertaining us from the booth.

With all the hype surrounding Tim Tebow this season, how many times do you think one of these guys will mention the Denver Broncos quarterback?

This would be a good bet for over/under.

How many mentions/highlights of Super Bowl XLII will be seen during broadcast?

We all know the Giants defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII back in 2008 when New England was 18-0 and trying to become the first 19-0 team in the history of the NFL.

That Super Bowl had many memorable highlights, and between Michaels and Collinsworth, and the pre/halftime shows, that incredible game will be referenced to many times throughout Sunday night.

This is another good over/under bet to wager on between your friends.

Which team and player will score first touchdown?

One aspect of this game that receives a lot of interest among people betting is who will score the first touchdown. You can wager a player from any position, from the star wide receiver to the defensive tackle.

This is an exciting bet to wager amongst your friends because there's always a ton of uncertainty surrounding who will score the first touchdown.

With both the Patriots and Giants defenses playing really well right now, the first seven points of the game might not come from an offensive player.
