Super Bowl LV best player prop bets from Kyle Dvorchak
- Tom Brady OVER 295.5 Passing Yards (-115): This game projects to be one of the most exciting of the year based on its 56-point total and that bodes well for the passing and receiving props on both teams. For Brady, getting into a shootout has been the key to unlocking his upside as far as counting stats are concerned. Brady has played in 12 games with a final total of at least 50 points. He has posted an average of 323 yards per game in those contests. He has topped this prop in two-thirds of those games.
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire OVER 30.5 Rushing Yards (-115): It’s going to be impossible to tell what the Kansas City backfield split is going to look like until kickoff but there are reasons to believe CEH could take on a larger role. Last week, CEH opened the game as the clear starter. He out-carried Darrel Williams 5-2 through two quarters and played on 23 snaps to Williams’ nine. It’s quite possible that with a lead in hand entering the second half, Andy Reid chose to let off the gas on his first-round rookie who was coming off a month-long hip injury. If that’s the case this week, CEH’s props will all come in far underpriced.

Marking a square in a grid? Puh-leeze. Get with the times: If you're into Super Bowl wagering, the way to go today is to place your money on one of the weird and wonderful Super Bowl prop bets being offered for Super Bowl LV.
For those of you whose gambling is limited to the occasional scratch-off ticket, a proposition or 'prop' bet is 'a wager on an individual player or specific event,' according to The Lines. For instance, you could place money on the outcome of the opening coin toss, or whether or not you think Kansas City's QB Patrick Mahomes will score a rushing touchdown during the game. Online betting sites, or 'sportsbooks,' offer zillions of props for individual teams and championship games in football, basketball, and other major sports.
Don't know a tight end from a tightrope and couldn't care less? You can still make prop bets on events that don't require you to know anything about the game, such as how long it will take Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church to sing the national anthem before kickoff (per The Lines, the over/under is 1 minute and 59 seconds). And that's tame in comparison to some of the other events sportsbooks are listing. Read on for some of the weirdest wagering ever!
You can bet on dogs, Biden, and Gatorade
Sports-betting site BetOnline.ag has a comprehensive list of Super Bowl LV props and the current odds for each one. Many are game-related, such as which player will record the first reception and how many rushing attempts the Bucs' Tom Brady will make. Others, known as 'specials' or 'exotic,' include how many times President Biden will tweet during the game. You can bet on a lot of things about the color commentary, like the number of times they'll use the words 'kindergarten' or 'Trump.' Which will they say first: 'COVID' or 'pandemic'? 'Mask' or 'coronavirus'? 'Hamstring' or 'groin'?
Crazy Super Bowl 55 Bets
Bettors can predict whether announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will mention Patrick Mahomes' upcoming wedding first, or the baby he's expecting. When they speak of Tom Brady, you can bet on whether they'll mention his age or the fact that this is his 10th Super Bowl. Whoever the MVP is, you can bet on what you think he'll mention first in his victory speech. (Smart money is on his teammates or God, but some might want to go with the long-shot bet of the team owner.)
Super Bowl Prop Bets
Not bizarre enough? Oddsmakers will let you bet on which coach will 'have his nostrils seen first' (e.g., take off his mask), or what color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach (orange is favored). But if you'd rather take your chances with a different type of game, you can always wager on whether Team Ruff or Team Fluff will win the Puppy Bowl.
