2026 Super Bowl: Expert Picks That Could Make You ...

One of the most fascinating aspects of Super Bowl betting is the sheer variety of prop bets available. We're not just talking about who wins or loses; we're talking about the intricate details of the game and surrounding events. Will the opening coin toss be heads or tails? How long will it take Charlie Puth to sing the National Anthem? And, of course, the ever-popular Gatorade shower – what color will it be this year? These novelty wagers add an extra layer of fun and engagement to the Super Bowl experience, consistently drawing massive interest from casual and seasoned bettors alike.

Let's get down to brass tacks. As of February 7th, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook, the Seattle Seahawks are favored to win, sitting at -4.5 on the spread. The moneyline reflects this, with the Seahawks at -235 and the Patriots at +194. The over/under is set at 45.5 points, suggesting a potentially moderate-scoring affair. Of course, the MVP odds are a big draw. Sam Darnold leads the pack at +115, followed by Drake Maye at +230, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at +550. A longshot bet on Rhamondre Stevenson or Rashid Shaheed could pay off handsomely, both at +3000. Stefon Diggs is even further out at +4000.

What are the experts saying? One analyst pointed out the Patriots' resurgence after the Belichick era but cautioned that the Seahawks pose a significantly tougher challenge. "I expect a low-scoring game, but I think the more talented Seahawks will ultimately pull away and win 27-17, with Sam Darnold taking home MVP." Another expert anticipates a slow start, predicting a 24-13 Seahawks victory. "Mike Vrabel is a tremendous underdog coach," they said. A third expert emphasized the Seahawks' overall dominance this season. "The best case for the Patriots in this game is Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold turning back into a pumpkin, which I don't expect. He's been nails this postseason. The Seattle defense is going to sit in zone coverage and force New England to work for all its yards, which is difficult without dynamic playmakers at the skill positions. The Seahawks win this game comfortably."

And don't forget about the National Anthem! If you're feeling particularly daring, you can wager on the length of the last "brave" note held by Charlie Puth. Over 3.5 seconds is at -122, while under is at +100. The total anthem length is projected at 119.5 seconds, with both over and under at -110. Perhaps the most emotionally charged prop is whether a player or coach will cry during the anthem, with "yes" heavily favored at -230. Will the pressure and emotion of the Super Bowl get to someone? Only time will tell! So, do your research, place your bets, and get ready for Super Bowl LX!
