Super Bowl 59 Novelty Props

Here's your guide to Super Bowl 59 novelty props, including the coin toss, Gatorade color, jersey of 1st TD scorer, position of MVP and will there be an octopus

Here are some tips for betting on Super Bowl 59 novelty props:

1. The Coin Toss: Try to find odds as close to even money as possible. It’s literally a coin flip. BetMGM is offering both sides at -102, which looks like the best price right now.

2. Gatorade Color: Over the past 15 years, Purple has hit four times, while Yellow/Green has hit three times. Both teams used Yellow/Green following their conference championship wins this year. DraftKings went with Orange as it’s 2nd option (+250). Red and Blue round out the top 5 at both books. Clear/Water and None are 8-1 or longer.

3. Jersey of 1st TD Scorer: Three of the top four options in terms of odds are in the over 15.5 jersey number bucket, including Barkley, who’s the favorite by a decent margin. Then you get basically every other reasonable candidate in the under 15.5 bucket. Hurts is a solid option for Tush Push reasons, and he could steal an opportunity from Barkley if Philly gets tackled near the goal line.

4. Position of MVP: Quarterbacks dominate this award, just like regular season MVP. However, Barkley is shaking up the market this year. He actually has better individual odds than Hurts on some books, which makes this market extremely interesting.

5. Will there be an Octopus? An octopus is scoring a touchdown and 2-point conversion consecutively. Hurts has two octopuses in his career, but he hasn’t done it since the 2023 Super Bowl. Mahomes has one, back in Week 9 of 2022. Philadelphia was on the receiving end of an octopus in Week 11, with old friend Zach Ertz catching a short TD then securing the 2-pointer from Jayden Daniels.
