The Best Exotic Prop Bets for Super Bowl 58
The teams for Super Bowl LVIII have been decided, but no matter which team comes out on top, many legal online sportsbooks are offering other ways to get in on the action without any knowledge of the game.
Sports betting offers are not available this state.
Anyone can be successful when they place their wagers on a variety of exotic props and novelty bets for the Super Bowl at NFL betting sites.
More bets are placed on the Super Bowl than any other single sporting event in states where online wagering is legal, with only two states, Colorado and Ohio, that prohibit betting on random outcomes like the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach or the length of the National Anthem. Fans might also find a few Travis Kelce props involving Taylor Swift among the Super Bowl prop betting lines this year.
Here’s a look at a few of the exotic prop bets players can expect for Super Bowl LVIII.
Scorigami
A Scorigami is guessing if the exact final score will be one that has never happened in any NFL game. While the league has been in existence for more than 80 years, this occurs several times during the regular season but has never happened in the Super Bowl. Over 1,000 Scorigamis have occurred in the NFL, and recent rule changes have seen more teams consider the two-point conversion at the end of scoring drives, increasing the chances of winning.
There were nine Scorigamis during the 2023-24 NFL regular season, with the Miami Dolphins involved in three. This prop typically has long odds for anyone lucky enough to win, with BetRivers Sportsbook currently offering +1600 odds for a winning Scorigami wager on this year’s game.
Gatorade Bath Color
Guessing the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning Super Bowl coach has been available as a novelty prop bet for many years and has been featured at legal US online sportsbooks since 2019. Blue was the winning pick in three of the previous five Super Bowls, and the Chiefs used different colors in their last two wins in the big game.
Last year’s Gatorade dumped on Andy Reid was purple. Orange has been used five times, while the previous time green was used was back in 2001. BetMGM has purple as the most likely pick at +225 odds, with red/pink currently at +500. Bettors can also get +2000 odds if there’s no Gatorade bath at all at the end of this year’s Super Bowl.
Octopus Betting
In recent years, more bettors have familiarized themselves with the NFL’s unique Octopus prop. This occurs when a single player scores eight points on a single touchdown drive, meaning the same player who scored the touchdown must also find the end zone on the subsequent 2-point conversion for the wager to hit.
The chances of winning this exotic prop bet may be better than the odds indicate. The player most likely to complete this feat in this game would be the Niners’ Christian McCaffrey, especially if the team needs to go for two in a close game or put the game out of reach. BetRivers is currently offering +1200 odds if a player completes an Octopus during Super Bowl LVIII.
