Prop bets vary from sportsbook to sportsbook in terms of what you can bet on. That said, there are a few standard bearers that you’re likely to find wherever you prefer to stake your wagers. Props such as which team will score the first goal of the game or if a star player will score a goal/point, etc., are nearly unanimous across sportsbooks. If you prefer to focus on individual players or more obscure elements of the game, you’ll likely enjoy prop betting.

Super Bowl LV is just hours away which means it’s time to take a close look at the game’s best and craziest prop bets, from the color of the Gatorade shower to the coin toss result. Check out PointsBet for more on how to bet on Sunday’s game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions and this year’s favorite to win the Super Bowl over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady will look to add to his NFL record book, while Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will try to become the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since Brady did it with the Patriots in 2003 and 2004.

Super Bowl LV best player prop bets from Kyle Dvorchak

• Tom Brady OVER 295.5 Passing Yards (-115): This game projects to be one of the most exciting of the year based on its 56-point total and that bodes well for the passing and receiving props on both teams. For Brady, getting into a shootout has been the key to unlocking his upside as far as counting stats are concerned. Brady has played in 12 games with a final total of at least 50 points. He has posted an average of 323 yards per game in those contests. He has topped this prop in two-thirds of those games.
• Clyde Edwards-Helaire OVER 30.5 Rushing Yards (-115): It’s going to be impossible to tell what the Kansas City backfield split is going to look like until kickoff but there are reasons to believe CEH could take on a larger role. Last week, CEH opened the game as the clear starter. He out-carried Darrel Williams 5-2 through two quarters and played on 23 snaps to Williams’ nine. It’s quite possible that with a lead in hand entering the second half, Andy Reid chose to let off the gas on his first-round rookie who was coming off a month-long hip injury. If that’s the case this week, CEH’s props will all come in far underpriced.

2021 Super Bowl prop bets: Coin toss outcome

Heads -105Tails -105

In Super Bowl history, the results have been almost split. Tails has been the result 29 times, with heads coming up the other 25 times. Tails has been the result in six of the last seven years since Super Bowl XLVIII.

I like TAILS to continue that hot streak, because after all, tails never fails.

2021 Super Bowl prop bets: Which team will win the coin toss?

Chiefs -105Buccaneers -105

As the road team, the Chiefs will call the toss Sunday. In their eight away games this season, the Chiefs were 4-4 calling the toss. When they won the flip, they chose to defer all four times.

As for the Buccaneers, they won the toss four times in their four home games when the other team called the flip. In three of those wins, they deferred, opting to receive in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons.

It’s a toss-up (pun intended), but I’m leaning CHIEFS (-105) here to win the toss and defer.

2021 Super Bowl prop bets: What will be the decision of the coin toss winner?

Receive opening kickoff +375Defer option to second half -500

DEFER (-500) is the wise choice here. Both the Chiefs and Buccaneers prefer to get the ball in the second half. The Chiefs deferred in all four of their coin toss wins as the road team this season, and the Buccaneers deferred in three of their four choices at home.

Heads -110Tails -110

The Chiefs will be the ones calling the toss as the road team. It’s anyone’s guess what they will call at midfield, but I’ll lean TAILS (-110) here.
