Super Bowl Novelty Props Predictions & Odds 2024: Coin Toss, Gatorade Color & More!

We're looking at the best Super Bowl novelty props based on the best NFL odds for Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.

Novelty props are some of the most fun ways to wager on Super Bowl prop bet odds. These bets generally have very little to do with football and instead focus on Gatorade color, national anthem length, the outcome of the coin toss, and even Taylor Swift Super Bowl prop bets.

While these bets may seem random, there may be a way to beat the market during this year’s Super Bowl. Are their recent trends, game situations, or other considerations to be accounted for when making your novelty props?

Here are our Super Bowl novelty props predictions and our NFL picks based on the best odds (odds via our best Super Bowl betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Best 2024 Super Bowl novelty prop predictions

National anthem: Over 90.5 seconds (+102 via FanDuel Ontario) ⭐⭐

Sixteen consecutive musicians have taken at least 91 seconds to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Reba McEntire does have a history of performing the national anthem very quickly, but with this price, we’re taking the over.

This is the lowest national anthem total ever listed for a Super Bowl. McEntire has performed the song in as little as 65 seconds on a massive stage before. The longest she’s ever performed is 85 seconds. While that may make the under seem like a lock, we have seen musicians drag it out at the Super Bowl. Why couldn’t McEntire do the same the one time she will perform at the Super Bowl?

Coin toss: Heads (+100 via DraftKings) ⭐

Over the last 18 Super Bowls, heads and tails have each hit nine times. There’s a reason why when something is seen as a 50/50 chance, people say it’s a coin flip. Tails currently leads the all-time series 30-27, so we’re going to back heads to close the gap. This is a one-star play, so make sure you bet at DraftKings, which is the only sportsbook charging even money for both sides.

Gatorade color: Purple (+330 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

This is one of the few novelty bets that actually can be chosen with reason. Generally, the color is reminiscent of the color of the winning team’s uniforms. However, last year, the Chiefs dumped purple on Andy Reid. Athletes and coaches are superstitious people, and if purple worked last year, there’s no reason to think they won’t use the same color this year.

Of course, purple is only going to hit if the Chiefs win this game. If you think the 49ers are more likely to win, then we’d recommend wagering on red. There are odds of +350 available for that color right now. However, we’re backing Patrick Mahomes and his team on Super Bowl Sunday.

First team to call timeout: 49ers (-115 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year. They’ve played in huge games like this every year that Mahomes has been under center. They’re not going to be shaken by the moment. The same can’t be said of the 49ers.

Brock Purdy is a young quarterback who has been prone to mistakes this season. There is a chance that he could get rattled early, which could lead to an unwarranted timeout. This one is about 50/50, but there is a legitimate reason for the 49ers to call timeout first. Purdy may struggle to read what the Chiefs' defense is presenting him.

Final score to have occurred as past Super Bowl final score? Yes (+410 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

A Scorigami is more fun and offers a better payout, but this is one long-shot bet that has a real chance of hitting. There have been some very basic final scores in past Super Bowls. This bet covers you if the final is 28-24, 24-21, 23-20, or 31-24. If the final score ends up being weird, there has been no shortage of weird finals in recent years. Just look at Super Bowls LII and LIII, where the scores were 41-33 and 13-3.

Team to receive opening kickoff: Chiefs (-104 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

The general consensus is that whoever wins the coin toss will defer to the second half. However, we don’t think it’s that simple. Last season, the Chiefs deferred the opening kickoff and it worked out for them. But this season, they’re going against a young quarterback that has started slowly in his last two games.

To put some added pressure on him, Andy Reid could choose to take the ball in hopes that his team will score and Purdy will feel pressure right away.

If the 49ers win the toss, it’s all but guaranteed that Kyle Shanahan will defer. He loves to own the end of the first half and the beginning of the second. Therefore, the Chiefs should be bigger favorites and this is a pretty valuable price.

Final Score to be Chiefs 31-20 49ers (+30000 via BetMGM) ⭐

FanDuel is calling this the "Super Bowl LIV repeat" since this was the score when these two teams met four years ago in Super Bowl 54. While BetMGM doesn’t have a catchy name associated with this prop, they do have a better price available.

The odds of this happening are incredibly low, however, it’s not unreasonable to think this will be close to the final score. Plus, do you want to be the one person who didn’t believe in history repeating itself if this does hit and a $1 bet wins $300?

Team to use the first coaches challenge: Chiefs (-115 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐

Neither of these coaches use challenges very often. However, Reid does get a slight edge in this category. He threw five challenge flags this season, and four of those plays were overturned. That means he’s entering the Super Bowl confident, and if he thinks something should be challenged, he won’t hesitate to throw the flag.

Kyle Shanahan only threw three challenge flags this season. In his career, he’s thrown just 37 challenge flags. That’s an average of just over five per season. Meanwhile, Reid has thrown more than six per season throughout his career.
