Super Bowl 59 is just days away and the excitement is building to a crescendo as the world beats a path to New Orleans.
Gear up for the biggest day on the sports calendar with a red-hot selection of Super Bowl prop picks from our team of Covers experts.
Best Super Bowl 59 prop bets
Super Bowl prop betting has exploded in popularity in recent years, as fans crave more ways to engage with the game beyond the point spread and moneyline.
Sportsbooks have responded to the increased demand and have rolled out thousands of Super Bowl props this year ranging from typical fare like touchdowns and receptions to whether or not Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift on the field.
From the standard to the sublime, prop bets are a thrilling, interactive way to spice up the Super Bowl viewing experience.
Anytime touchdown scorer bet
When the Chiefs get into the red zone they turn to Kareem Hunt, which is why Covers Senior Betting Analyst Jason Logan is also turning to the former Pro Bowl running back for his Super Bowl anytime touchdown prop prediction.
"Hunt received three red-zone carries in the AFC Championship Game and should the Chiefs get within 10 yards of the goal line against Philadelphia on Sunday, you can be sure he'll get a crack at crossing the plane," he explains. "Also, don’t forget Hunt is also a capable pass catcher. While his role in the receiving game hasn’t been that big in 2024-25, he was a very active option through the air in his first go-around with Kansas City."
Pick: Kareem Hunt anytime touchdown (+120 at Caesars)
Super Bowl MVP bet
Patrick Mahomes has the shortest Super Bowl MVP odds at +105, but Covers Betting Analyst Josh Inglis is expecting Jalen Hurts to steal the show on Sunday.
"Hurts was about as close as one can be to an MVP in Super Bowl LVII: He ran for three TDs, thew another, and had 300+ passing yards," he says. "He enters Round 2 vs. the Chiefs at his healthiest since early December and now has a defense that can stop Mahomes & Co. The +370 price is too hard to ignore."
Pick: Jalen Hurts (+370 at BetMGM)
Coin toss bet
The Super Bowl coin toss may be the ultimate 50/50 proposition, but Covers Betting Analyst Neil Parker has a hunch on how things will go in NOLA.
"It’s been tails in six of the past 10 Super Bowls, but three of the past four have been heads," he says. "Let’s go back to 'Tails never Fails!' for Super Bowl 59!"
Pick: Tails (-105 at Caesars)
National anthem length prop bet
Kendrick Lamar may be getting the lion's share of attention heading into the Super Bowl, but the eyes — and ears — of the nation will be fixated on Jon Batiste’s delivery of the National Anthem before the opening kickoff.
Covers Betting Analyst Douglas Farmer has done his homework and is calling for the Grammy Award-winner to go Under 120.5 seconds in his Super Bowl national anthem length prediction.
"Batiste finished the National Anthem in 1 minute and 46 seconds at the 2017 U.S. Open, and needed just 1 minute and 29 seconds to finish the anthem at the NBA All-Star Game that same year," he explains. "The greatest risk to this Under will be Batiste adding a musical interlude to the anthem, but logic expects that to come before he even begins singing. A dramatic introduction will be fitting for a performance on the biggest stage in Batiste’s hometown."
Pick: Under 120.5 seconds (+115 at BetMGM)

Gatorade color bet
There are few Super Bowl traditions more beloved than the Gatorade bath, which has been capping off every instalment of the Big Game since 1986.
The Chiefs have doused Andy Reid with purple Gatorade in each of their past two wins, but Covers Betting Analyst Rohit Ponnaiya favors another approach in his Super Bowl Gatorade color prediction this year.
"Early money has come in on purple and yellow/green/lime, separating those two colors from the rest of the pack while red/pink has tumbled all the way to +650," he says. "Whether you bet on purple or yellow/green/lime will really come down to which team you think will win. But with both options available at better than +200, it makes sense to put half a unit on each side and hope that neither team decides to switch things up."
Pick: 0.5 units on Purple (+225 at BetMGM), 0.5 units on Yellow/green/lime (+250 at BetMGM)

Kendrick Lamar first song prop
Kendrick Lamar has no shortage of bangers to choose from when opening the Super Bowl halftime show, but Covers music expert Jared Hochman strongly believes he's already settled on "Squabble Up."
"I think Kendrick will opt to go with a slow build for this performance, starting with his hit song off his latest album, GNX," he explains in his Super Bowl props halftime predictions. "It has the perfect elements of an opening song; it's immediately identifiable (those deep, heavy breaths are unmistakable) and slowly builds the energy, easing everyone into the show."
Pick: "Squabble Up" (+380 at FanDuel Canada)
