“Will Madonna Be Wearing Fishnet Stockings?” And Other Ridiculous Super Bowl Prop Bets

The Super Bowl is a week from Sunday, and you know what that means: you’re pumped for some football! Actually, let’s amend that to: you’re pumped for some football!…if you’re a Giants or Patriots fan. If not, you’re probably primarily concerned with other things. Even if you count “hope both teams lose” as a football-related interest, there are so many other things you’ll be focused on – eating, drinking, eating, drinking – that the game itself could quickly turn into an afterthought.

One thing, though, might keep your eyes fixated on the screen: gambling. Te great and terrible thing about the Super Bowl being America’s largest sporting event is that you can gamble on…pretty much anything that happens, whether it has anything to do with the game or not. Last year, we listed a few of the more ridiculous prop bets available, and now, with the help of Bovada and Reddit, well, here we go again. Below, a few ridiculous prop bets, and our brief thoughts on each.

Will Kelly Clarkson’s bare belly be showing when she sings the National Anthem? Yes +300 – Bare bellies and the national anthem. They just go together, people. Also, our guess is no, it won’t be.

Will Madonna be wearing fishnet stockings at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show? Yes -120; No -120 – Wouldn’t be confident enough to actually plunk money down on this one, but if we had to choose between this and Kelly Clarkson’s bare belly, we’re going fishnet. Also, we’re almost scared how quickly we got used to this being a thing you can bet actual money on.

If Tom Brady’s son is shown on TV during the game will he be wearing a Tom Brady Jersey? Yes -200; No +150 – Our guess: not a jersey, but some kind of Patriots paraphernalia seems likely. Maybe a hat, because awwwwwwwwww.

What Color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the Winning Super Bowl Team? Yellow 7/4; Orange 9/4; Clear/Water 3/1; Red 11/2; Green 6/1; Blue 10/1 – 3/1 on clear water seems like a losing bet to us. It’s usually some color, no?

Who will the Super Bowl MVP of the Game thank first? Teammates 2/1; God 7/2; Owner 7/2; Family 7/1; Coach 12/1; Does Not Thank Anyone 11/4 – Conversely, God at 7/2 could be a steal. Of course, if the Broncos had made it, that line would look something like 1/10.

Coin toss: Heads -105; Tails -105 and Who will win the coin toss? New York Giants -105; New England Patriots -105 – If you bet on either of these, you suffer from a serious gambling addiction.
