Best Super Bowl Player Prop Bets And LVIII Half Time Show Predictions

Most popular super bowl prop bets have been National Anthem, Gatorade’s color, MVP speech, and others. They are part of NFL players, teams, and game props.

Player props indicate the stake in the player’s statistics. Team Props are based on a franchise’s performance.

For example, Which team makes the first TD? Which team wins the first half?

Game props refer to the stake on either team to win the title. If the initial favorite is trailing, their odds rise, and so does the spread. Betting in such conditions can land more amount.

Super Bowl Betting Trends shows the team that wears white jerseys wins the game more times than not.

Trends are covered up by the stats prevalent over the years. A few of the more rushes and fewer points allowed per game.

When it’s time to put your wager on something like Super Bowl, it is necessary that you have knowledge about how the game has turned out in the last decade or so. Enough data and information can help you land more bucks in your account.

Here are some of the trends that have dominated the biggest event:

The dominance of White Jersey

The team uniform may have nothing to do with the match’s result, but it matters a lot from a betting perspective.

Over the last 19 mega events, those who took the field in white attire have won 16 times. A recent example is the Kansas City Chiefs attire in Super Bowl LVII. They wore white tops and red bottoms, while the Eagles were seen in green jerseys and white pants.

It would be interesting to see who among AFC and NFC champions wear white when they take center stage on 11th February 2024.

The first team to score = Super Bowl Title

Getting the first points on the board can put pressure on the opposing players. The stats for that probability is 63.79%.

Teams opening the score have won 37 out of 57 championships. Los Angeles Rams did so to emerge victorious against Cincinnati Bengals.

Unfortunately, Philadelphia Eagles, who opened the score, couldn’t hold their end against Kansas City Chiefs in 2023.

Underdogs have conquered the Championships in recent time

A lot of success has been found by underdogs lately in the mega event. The latest record is 8-4 for the underdogs.

Fox Sports reported the Eagles were -133 compared to +110 for the Chiefs in 2023. We all know who got the final laugh on that one. So, if your team is heading as the second favorite in the biggest event, they have more chance of getting the W.

February favors AFC

When the championship match is scheduled in February, the AFC franchise has more chance of winning. In the last 21 years, they have won 13 of them.

Before 2023 the record for AFC was 12-8, and one more was added by the Chiefs with their win over the Eagles.

NFL MVP QB = No Super Bowl

There have only been 8 names who won regular season MVP as QB and lifted the trophy. Since 2000, nine MVP winnings QBs failed to lift the ultimate prize.

It includes Kurt Warner (2001-02), Rich Gannon (2002-03), Shaun Alexander (2005-06), Tom Brady (2007-08, 2017-18), Peyton Manning (2009-10, 2013-14), Cam Newton (2015-16), and Matt Ryan (2015-16). But Patrick Mahomes did win the MVP in 2022 and lifted the trophy in 2023. It may well break the curse.

Other Trends

• If NFC is the favorite, they lose it (1-4 in the last five)
• NFC wins the Super Bowl in Arizona (3-0)
• The underdogs win at Arizona (3-0)
• Female-led halftime performance = AFC win (5-1)
• AFC dominated the last 11 Super Bowls (7 out of 11
• Fewer Super Bowl experience teams have won 10 out of 17
• Teams who gave fewer points per game usually win the Super Bowl
• Teams winning the coin toss are eventual losers (1-8 in the last nine years)
• Wide Receivers gets the first touchdown (46%)
• Worse regular-season record holders get the win (14-3)
