We’ve been talking a lot about Super Bowl props here at The Linemakers on Sporting News in the run up to Sunday’s showdown between the Patriots and Seahawks, listing the hundreds of betting options available at several Las Vegas casinos and enlisting our friends at SN Fantasy for their help in handicapping some of the player-based props. And in the scrollable document below, you can see the most popular props at the 105 sports books operated by William Hill U.S. in Nevada.
For example, many bettors are wagering at less than 5-to-1 odds that there’ll be a safety for the fourth straight Super Bowl.
While that’s certainly a non-traditional way to bet on a football game, it’s nothing compared to the crazy props being offered offshore. Here’s a sample of some of the props we’ve found:
