Want to bet on Super Bowl 52? There’s a prop for that.  There are dozens of casinos and online sportsbooks worldwide with hundreds of tantalizing props designed to appeal to both hardcore and casual fans.

Most of the options are pretty standard fare, but if you dig deep enough, you can find some truly bizarre bets

Most of the options are pretty standard fare, but if you dig deep enough, you can find some truly bizarre bets ranging from the color of the liquid dumped on the winning coach to the number of tweets generated by our Commander in Chief.
We’ve rounded up ten of the weirdest and most outlandish props below for your viewing (and potentially wagering) pleasure.

1. Who will be taller: The first player to score a goal in the Golden Knights-Capitals game or the first player to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl?

You’d be hard pressed to find a weirder prop. The odds at -150 for a hockey player and -120 for a football player. It’s worth noting that the Golden Knights’ leading scorer, Jonathan Marchessault, is just 5-foot-9, and that the team’s second-leading scorer, William Karlsson, is a mere 6-foot-1.

That’s downright Lilliputian when compared to the Goliaths on the Eagles and Patriots, like Rob Gronkowski (6’6) and Zach Ertz (6’5).

2. Total number of Donald Trump tweets during the Super Bowl (from kickoff to conclusion of last play)

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Donald Trump (and we’ve learned far more than we would like), it’s that he can’t resist sharing his every waking thought with the world. It should come as no surprise then that multiple sportsbooks are accepting wagers on how many times he’ll tweet during the Super Bowl.

The over/under is set at 2.5 tweets, though you can find it elsewhere at 5.5! The good news is that you don’t have to read any of his mind-numbing messages about the national anthem or his good friend Tom Brady in order to lay down a bet. In fact, you’re probably better off just avoiding @realDonaldTrump altogether.

3. Will P!nk be airborne at any point during her rendition of the National Anthem?

The singing of the National Anthem is usually a pretty staid affair, but there’s an excellent chance that P!nk will find a way of spicing it up. The Grammy Award-winner is famous for flying over her audience while performing her hit song “So What,”, and she could easily channel her inner acrobat yet again at U.S. Bank Stadium. Odds set at +250 for YES and -400 for NO.

4. Will the word “Nipplegate” be said during the broadcast?

Ah, the mammaries! The odds that we’ll witness another Nipplegate during our lifetime are quite small, but the odds it will be referenced during Super Bowl 52 are remarkably high. That’s because Justin Timberlake will be headlining the halftime show for the first time since exposing Janet Jackson’s right nipple to 143 million unsuspecting viewers in 2004.

“NBC reportedly read Timberlake the riot act before officially inviting him back”

NBC reportedly read Timberlake the riot act before officially inviting him back, but anything can happen on live TV. Odds say that “Nipplegate” will be referenced at +500 for YES and -900 for NO.

5. Will P!nk display cleavage during the National Anthem?

The only thing more surprising than the fact that you can bet on P!nk’s cleavage is the fact this didn’t go one step further and allow you to wager on the length and depth of the womanly cleft displayed.

For the record, they have set the odds at +380 for YES and -550 for NO.

6. How many times will Gisele Bundchen be shown on TV during the Super Bowl broadcast?

Many non-football fans only know Tom Brady as “that guy who’s married to Gisele Bundchen.”

It may seem hard to believe, but many non-football fans only know Tom Brady as “that guy who’s married to Gisele Bundchen.”

The Brazilian supermodel is one of the most famous figures in the world and will almost certainly be in attendance at U.S. Bank Stadium to cheer on her husband. The over/under on the number of times she’ll appear on TV during the broadcast is 1.5, but we’re personally hoping it’s well over that mark.

Everyone wins when Gisele gets more screen time.

7. How many commercials will Peyton Manning appear in during the Super Bowl broadcast?

Peyton Manning may have only won two championships, but he’s been a fixture of the last five Super Bowls thanks to his hilarious commercials. From his slick DIRECTV spots to his clever Papa John’s ads, the 14-time Pro Bowler is nearly as good on TV as he was on the gridiron.

The over/under on his number of appearances is set at 2.5. We wouldn’t complain if the final number was far higher than that.

8. Will Al Michaels or Cris Collinsworth say the word “Rocky”?

There’s no doubt that things will get a little rocky for one team during Super Bowl 52, but the “Rocky” referenced here is the fictional fighter played by Sly Stallone. The people’s champ was a Philly native so it seems almost inevitable that the broadcasting duo of Michael and Collinsworth will bring up his name when discussing the underdog Eagles.

The odds are at +180 for YES

9. Who will win the 14th Puppy Bowl?

Team Fluff and Team Ruff share identical -115 odds, but anyone who has seen Team Fluff running back Biscuit over the past few months knows they should be the overwhelming favorite to win. The chihuahua/miniature pinscher-mix is an absolute animal in the open field, where his speed and evasiveness make him nearly impossible to corral.

The next dog to bring him down will also be the first. Don’t paws to think this one over, bet all your bones on Team Fluff.

10. Which will be higher: Kyrie Irving points or Rob Gronkowski’s longest reception (-1/2)?

If you’re thinking of letting it ride on this prop, you should know that Irving is averaging 24.5 points per game this season and will be playing at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Feb. 4.

His season high for points came on Nov. 20, when he dropped 47 on the Mavericks. Gronk, meanwhile, averaged 15.7 yards per catch during the regular season and his longest reception was a 53-yarder that ended in a touchdown.
