Donald Trump will make history on Sunday by becoming the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Super Bowl.

As if there weren't already enough betting options for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, some books have released Donald Trump odds. Those odds relate to his FOX News interview before kickoff as well as what the Commander in Chief may do during the course of the Big Game.

Here are my three favorite Donald Trump bets for Super Bowl 59 on Sunday, February 9. 

How many times will Donald Trump be shown on the Super Bowl LIX live broadcast?

Number Odds
Over 1.5 -160
Under 1.5 +120

This is my favorite bet on the board for Donald Trump at Super Bowl 59, and I'm surprised it's not juiced more than -160. It's pretty much guaranteed that he'll be shown on screen at least once. After that, it's a long game with plenty of cutaway shots and at least one of them has to feature president, especially if they can capture one of his trademark scowl or fist pump reactions to a big play.

Pick: Over 1.5 appearances (-160)

Will Trump tweet during the game?

Outcome Odds
Yes -115
No -125

There are also odds for "how many times Trump will tweet?" from two hours before the game until two hours after, with the O/U at 1.5 and the Over juiced to -115. However, the truth is that the president hasn't posted on X as much since coming back to the platform, often preferring to use Truth Social. Matter of fact, Trump posted on X just twice on Friday and three times on Thursday.

I'm expecting him to post once during the game, but wouldn't count on him posting any more than that.

Pick: Yes (-115)

Who will Trump mention first in his FOX interview: Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts?

Player Odds
Patrick Mahomes -300
Jalen Hurts +200

This is juiced to -300, but if Trump mentions either quarterback, Patrick Mahomes seems like the obvious choice to get a shout out. When asked who he thought would win the Super Bowl earlier in the week, Trump responded by saying, "I don't want to say but there's a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner."

Trump also congratulated Mahomes and his wife Brittany on the birth of their baby daughter on Truth Social yesterday, which was a bit strange considering that the couple announced the news three weeks ago. Trump has praised Brittany Mahomes in the past, ostensibly due to her own support of his posts on social media. 

There is also the possibility that Trump still harbors ill feelings towards the Eagles since most of the team refused to come to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory in 2018. Either way, it seems far more likely that Trump will mention the consensus best player in the world in Mahomes before talking about Jalen Hurts.

Pick: Mahomes (-300)

With a background playing soccer, rugby, and boxing, combined with a journalism degree, it's little surprise that Rohit gravitated towards the world of sports betting. He specializes in betting on UFC and college basketball, two sports where the eyeball test can tell you a lot more about matchups than any analytics. Rohit has years of experience handicapping NFL and NBA games as well as niche betting markets such as politics and Oscar odds. He's also the resident CFL expert and formerly hosted "The Chez and Ro Show" with former CFL star Davis Sanchez.

You can catch Rohit breaking down every UFC event with Joe Osborne on "P4P Picks" on the Covers YouTube channel and he also has regular appearances on "Before You Bet" with Joe. In addition, he's a regular guest on "By The Book" on the Monumental Sports Network and makes guest appearances on VSIN's "The Handle" and CBS Sports.

Rohit primarily makes his bets at bet365, which offers a wide variety of prop markets, but also has accounts at several others so he can shop around for the best prices. For Rohit, bankroll management is key. He believes you should never bet what you can't afford to lose and maximize those few betting opportunities where books misprice a line.
