The Super Bowl is set! We know it’s the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Now, we have just under two weeks to get all our bets in for one final hoorah of the NFL until next fall. One of my favorite articles last year was coming up with 59 bets for Super Bowl LIX, 59 of course. This year, we’re running it back with 60 of the best and most fun bets out there for Super Bowl LX. I’ve searched high and low, near and far, to bring you 60 bets for Super Bowl LX.
We’ve gotten truly spoiled in betting on football. We used to have to wait until the Super Bowl to get a lot of prop bets, but now we get that for any given game. The Super Bowl, however, it brings all the bets out. Things we don’t normally see. From Gatorade color, to what the first play or pass will be, to how long the national anthem is. In addition to the wide swath we already get on any given Sunday. There’s no better American pastime than betting as many props as you can in the Super Bowl.
60 Bets for Super Bowl LX (60) New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks
Novelty Props
1. Tails (+100)
2. Blue Gatorade (+260)
3. Bad Bunny’s First Song During Halftime – DTMF (+500)
4. Length of National Anthem- Under 125 seconds (-110)
Tails never fails. They are simple words I like to live by. This is a bet you place just for the sweat of a pure random 50/50 shot at hitting it. For the love of the game! Tails is 31-28 all-time in the Super Bowl and has hit in two of the last three games. For what it’s worth, tails was the winner when these teams last matched up in Super Bowl XLIX.
Spoiler, I’m on the Patriots in this one. They’ve used blue Gatorade in two of their last three wins, after not using any in the overtime win over Atlanta due to a lack of time. Blue has been used in three of the last seven Super Bowls.
I’d be lying if I said I knew Bad Bunny’s catalog extensively, but I was looking for songs with ties back home or political meaning. If you see TURiSTA listed, I like that as a long shot. But for DTMF, it has ties to home and makes a political statement, good enough for my money.
Charlie Puth has said he wants to give a nod to fellow New Jersey native Whitney Houston as he models his version of the Anthem. Houston’s went for 116 seconds.
He also mentioned how much he loved Chris Stapleton’s version, which went right at the 125 mark. Puth should keep it short like Houston’s while paying his tribute, give me the under.
First Touchdowns
5. Drake Maye (+1700)
6. Sam Darnold (+4500)
7. Jake Bobo (+8000)
8. Kyle Williams (+10000)
9. Jack Westover (+16000)
Go big or go home. That’s what I’m looking for for the most part when it comes to the first touchdown scorer in Super Bowl LX. Drake Maye at 17/1 is too good to pass up on. He is a mobile quarterback not afraid to run and put his body on the line. If they get close enough, they’ll run the tush push with him, and don’t rule out a little New England Special where he catches the first touchdown.
Darnold isn’t a runner like Maye is, but it’s the Super Bowl, baby. These quarterbacks are going to leave it all on the field. Darnold has 14 rushing touchdowns in his career. His receiver, Jake Bobo, just caught a touchdown last week against the Rams. This Patriots defense can lock down receivers like JSN in the red zone. Darnold may need to look at a trusted receiver.
Kyle Williams is a home run-hitting receiver for the Patriots. He’s most likely to score on a deep shot or by busting a big play. Williams found the end zone three times in his rookie year. One player who isn’t listed that if you see in the wild, you should grab, Patriots defensive lineman Khyris Tonga. Tonga comes in to help on the tush push and block extra. Mike Vrabel was a guy who caught two touchdowns in the Super Bowl as a defensive player. Tonga is the guy he’d want to get the ball to. In his place, I’ll toss a 160/1 on the fullback Jack Westover. He’s the type of locker room guy this team wants to highlight.
First Half Bets
10. Under 23.5 (-135)
11. Patriots +3.5 (-125)
12. Rhamondre Stevenson Over 22.5 Rushing Yards (-118)
Mike Vrabel and Mike Macdonald are two great defensive minds. They have two weeks to plan out this game and their attack. I think things will start slowly, as they feel each other out and adjust later. Give me the first half under. If it’s going to be low scoring, it’ll be close too. Give me the dog in that case. For a team floating around 4.5 for the game, getting more than a field goal seems like a nice line for the first half.
One thing I know, the Patriots will do their best to establish the run early in this game. They’ll do that with Rhamondre Stevenson, who they trust a lot more than the rookie Henderson.
Game Leaders
13. Receiving Yards – Rasheed Shaheed (1600)
14. Receiving Yards – Kayshon Boutte (+1800)
15. Rushing Yards – Drake Maye
16. Rushing Yards – TreVeyon Henderson (+2500)
Shaeed has shown everyone his big-play ability in the playoffs and why the Seahawks traded for him. If the Patriots slow down JSN (which isn’t far-fetched), that big-play ability could get him this. Drake Maye loves Boutte. Kayshon has been one of his top targets all season long. Against the Texans just two weeks ago, he was the leading receiver for the team. In the Wild Card round, he was the second leading receiver to Stevenson. If the Patriots can slow down Smith-Njibga, Boutte is very much alive at 18/1.
Maye is interesting for rushing the most yards in the game. He has the big scramble ability, and with 65 yards last week, was just six yards behind Stevenson. The Henderson case rests on his breaking a big play for two. I’d highly expect Walker and Stevenson to run away with this category, which is why they are priced so short. If Henderson can bust a big run or two, the long odds are worth it.
Player Props
17. Drake Maye Over 36.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
18. AJ Barner Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
19. TreVeyon Henderson Over 2.5 Receiving Yards (+106)
20. George Holani Over 8.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
21. Hunter Henry Over 37.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
22. Mack Hollins Longest Reception Over 16.5 Yards (-115)
23. Cooper Kupp 4+ Receptions (+136)
24. Drake Maye Over 225 Passing Yards (-105)
25. Sam Darnold Over 225 Passing Yards (-115)
Maye has easily crossed this mark in two of the three Patriots playoff games after 450 rushing yards during the regular season. Maye will need to use his legs against this defense, and I expect him to cruise past this number. The Patriots have struggled a bit against tight ends, and Barner strikes me as the reliable target that Sam Darnold will target in this game. Barner finished the year hitting this number in six of the last eight games of the year.
The Patriots are going to have to pull out all the stops to have a shot in this game. Henderson is one of the most explosive players on their team, and they need to get the ball in his hands. It’ll only take one screen to hit this. George Holiani stepped up big for the Seahawks last week in the absence of Charbonnet. It won’t be easy for the Seahawks in the running game, and quick outs to Holani should hit this number early.
Colby Parkinson had himself a day against this Seattle defense last week, and Hunter Henry is one of Maye’s most trusted and reliable targets. He’ll get the ball to him quickly and let Henry do the work. Hollins had a 32-yard catch in his only playoff start last week. It’s a number he’s now hit in six of the last seven games. Maye will take his shots to the explosive playmaker. Cooper Kupp is a veteran receiver who has caught four passes in both Seahawks playoff games. This is what the team signed him for: experience like what he brings to this game.
It’s going to be a tough game to run the ball in with these defenses. Ultimately, I think that leads to a bit of passing from two offenses and two quarterbacks who know how to do that.
Player Ladder – Drake Maye Rushing
26. 39+ (-109)
27. 50+ (+180)
28. 70+ (+517)
29. 100+ (+1970)
30. 120+ (3800)
Drake Maye’s rushing ability could be a huge key to the Patriots winning this game. He ran for over 65 yards against the Chargers and Broncos in the playoffs. He’s shown he’s not afraid to scramble when he gets pressured (which is a lot). They aren’t afraid to draw up runs for him, and when it’s the biggest of moments, he’ll keep it and beat the defender to the edge. Between what they build in, and him just balling out, if Maye had a huge day, so could we!
Multiple Touchdowns
31. Hunter Henry 2+ TD’s (+1900)
32. Cooper Kupp 2+ TD’s (+2200)
33. Kayshon Boutte 2+ TD’s (+3000)
34. George Hanoi 2+ TD’s (+4500)
35. Rhamondre Stevenson 3+ TD’s (+5000)
It’s not crazy for someone to find the end zone twice in the Super Bowl. The top guys like JSN and Kenneth Walker III are priced super short, but as you quickly go down the board, the value jumps up fast. We’ve already painted the picture of why any of these guys might get some action, now if one of them can just find the end zone twice or three times.

Last Touchdown
36. Drake Maye (+1800)
37. Seattle DST (+2200)
38. Efton Chism (+3500)
39. Cam Akers (+14000)
Much like first touchdown betting, last touchdown is a fun one to sprinkle the board for a few different players, all with different narratives. Maye, I’m taking if the Patriots need a big play late to win it. Seattle DST comes into play if they are just on a roll or the Patriots get sloppy and desperate. Chism is a solid role player for the Patriots, and Akers is a fun way-long shot that got a few snaps last week and will make our day if he happens to hit.
Team Props
40. Patriots Over 2.5 Touchdowns (+130)
41. Patriots First Drive 3+ Rushing Attempts (+120)
42. Seahawks First Drive 3+ Rushing Attempts (-115)
43. First Drive Both Teams Punt (+375)
I fully believe the Patriots will have no problem finding ten end zone three times, just like Los Angeles had no problem scoring on them last week. This week I do love the run the ball and going slow angles, feel each other out. I also am bought into the slow start for both teams as they run the ball and feel each other out.
Game Props
44. Over 121 Offensive Snaps (-115)
45. 2-point Conversion Attempt – Yes (+130)
46. Highest Scoring Half – 2nd (-110)
47. Touchdown Scored in First 10 Minutes- NO (-105)
48. Drake Maye Over 199.5 Pass Yards + 1.5 Touchdowns (+175)
Last year’s high-flying Super Bowl only had 119 snaps, but the previous Super Bowl, a more methodical game, had 152 offensive snaps. That’s the direction I’m leaning in this one. We’ve seen teams be more aggressive when it comes to 2-point attempts. If one team gets down, they may need to get aggressive, and we all love the good ole two point try. My entire game flow is based around the second half being the higher scoring half, so let’s bet on that too!
Back to that slow start, no score in the first 10 minutes as the teams try to establish the run and feel each other out. Caesar’s has the Drake Maye special over passing yards and touchdown passes, at almost 2/1 odds, I like that to happen.
Defense
49. Christian Gonzalez Anytime TD (+5500)
50. Demarcus Lawrence to Record a Sack (+140)
51. Coby Bryant Over 2.5 Tackles (+124)
Christian Gonzalez will be tasked with guarding Jaxson Smith-Njigba. Sam Darnold will try to force the ball to him, and one of those times, Gonzalez may just get the best of him. Demarcus Lawrence shouldn’t have a hard time getting to Drake Maye against a subpar offensive line, and he’s already had a sack in each Seahawks playoff game. Coby Bryant has been a workhorse in the Seahawks’ defensive backfield. Look for him to rack up some tackles in this one.
Game Lines
52. Scoragmi – YES (+1500)
53. First Half Under (23.5) + Game Over (45.5) (+426)
54. Over 45.5 (-100)
55. Patriots +4.5 (-100)
56. Patriots Moneyline (+207)
A Scoragami is always fun to root for; that is, a final score that has never happened before. At 15/1, let’s have fun with some of these props! First half under, game over is some good negative correlation, and that’s my vision for this game. Which also means I like the game to go over. I’m also on the Patriots to cover as well as win this game. Give me Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye, and this team’s underdog mentality over Mike Macdonald and Sam Darnold.
Super Bowl MVP
57. Sam Darnold (+130)
58. Drake Maye (+235)
59. Rasheed Shaheed (+2800)
60. TreVeyon Henderson (+7500)
I hesitated to list both quarterbacks; they are the most obvious candidates here for a reason. My advice would be to bet on the one you think wins the game, and then bet the others. Shaheed is a good long shot if he returns a kick and adds a few big plays and a touchdown. Henderson is a great candidate as another big-play guy who could take over the game and steal the trophy from his quarterback.
