Just like there is no viewing spectacle as big as the Super Bowl each year, there is also no gambling event like the finale. With such a large market, sportsbooks are more comfortable trotting out all sorts of unique NFL odds.

Depending on where you are, not all these markets will be available to you. In the United States, the broad rule of thumb is that regulated books can only offer bets that would be settled on the field.

For instance, sportsbooks such as FanDuel and DraftKings are prohibited from accepting bets on the style of jersey Taylor Swift will wear while cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs from her suite. However, they can offer bets on the Over/Under of the total sum of jersey numbers for players who score touchdowns.

Join me as I break down some of the craziest Super Bowl odds that are being offered for Sunday's big game, and make sure to check out our full Chiefs vs. 49ers predictions before placing your NFL picks

Color of Gatorade poured on the winning head coach?

Color FanDuel
Orange +300
Yellow, Lime, or Green +390
Purple +390
Blue +440
Red/Pink +500
Water/Clear +700

Though it is a mild surprise regulated sportsbooks can offer this prop, it is widely available and rather confounding. The casual bettor may want to take "Red/Pink" at +500, assuming either team would celebrate with its primary color, but that assumes the players euphoric over winning the Super Bowl take the time to think with that big-picture approach. It is more likely they simply grab the closest Gatorade jug nearby.

Personally, lime Gatorade is the best option during a workout. That +390 garners attention.

Will Travis Kelce throw/kick/give the ball to the crowd after a touchdown?

Yes/No Odds
Yes -120
No -120

A key to this offering is that it will be ruled no action if Kelce does not score a touchdown.

"Drake Curse" — What team apparel will Drake be wearing on Sunday?

Team Apparel Odds
Kansas City Chiefs -170
San Francisco 49ers +130

Given the Chiefs are the more popular team thanks to the most famous pop star’s romance, they make sense to be Drake’s preference this weekend.

Will any player or coach cry during the National Anthem?

Yes/No Odds
Yes -115
No -115

Make no mistake, the CBS production truck will go out of its way to find a shot of any tears available.

What will happen to the price of Bitcoin (BTC) during the Super Bowl?

Yes/No Odds
Price goes up -125
Price goes down -105

If you can accurately assess this market, there may be smarter things to do with your money than wager it here.

Number of patties on Andy Reid's postgame burger?

Number of patties Odds
Under 1.5 patties -200
Over 1.5 patties +150

Is it really a burger if it only has one patty?

Which play will be run first?

Play Odds
Flea flicker -200
Hook and ladder +185

If neither is run, the bet will be ruled no action. The best reason to mention this possibility here is to elicit your memories of Boise State’s Fiesta Bowl upset in 2007.

Super Bowl 2024 odds

Primary color of Taylor Swift's top at the Super Bowl?

Color Odds
Red -500
White +400
Black +550
Yellow +850
Purple +1,600
Silver/Grey +1,800
Blue +2,000
Green +2,000

While I can't claim to be a fashion guru, there may be value in White and Black.

If Taylor Swift wants to stand out in the luxury suite with the Kelce family, something other than red would make sense, regardless of her past album title.

"SWIFT" to be said by either team during play-calling (One-Way Market)

"SWIFT" Odds
Yes +300

“Omaha” will never have sounded so good.

How long will Taylor Swift be shown live on the broadcast?

Over/Under Odds
Over 25.5 seconds -110
Under 25.5 seconds -130

This number continues to fall, previously sitting at 28.5 earlier in the week. 

This could be interpreted as CBS responding to public criticism of Swift's previous appearances on broadcasts this season. However, the truth is that the shots of her have consistently been brief.

Furthermore, with a larger number of celebrities attending than ever before on Sunday night, the production truck will have numerous faces to feature, catering to even the most casual viewers.

Times Taylor Swift is shown during the live broadcast?

Over/Under Odds
Over 5 -165
Under 5 +125

This emphasizes how brief the views of Swift have been. Look at that juice and assume she will pop onto your screen six times. Based on that previous Over/Under, that is only about four seconds per shot.

You might take longer to pick a chip from the pile of nachos on your coffee table.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
