The Super Bowl, of course, inspires more betting annually than any other event in the world of sports. It gets bigger and bigger every year, too.

Just look at some of the numbers recently crunched by the American Gaming Association in a survey. A record 50.4 million American adults (or approximately 20 percent) plan to bet on Super Bowl 57. That’s a 61 percent increase from a then-record number who wagered on Super Bowl 56. Prospective SB bettors say they will wage an estimated $16 billion on Sunday’s showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles – more than double their spending on the 2022 game between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals.

But what specifically are people betting on? Let’s take look at the most popular bets that the public is making on Super Bowl 57 along with their latest Super Bowl Odds.

You can bet on the Super Bowl at FanDuel Sportsbook, which has the best odds available and a great new customer offer where you can get a no-sweat first bet up to $3,000! Click here to take advantage of this can’t-miss offer. 

Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer (-113)

The anytime touchdown scorer market is always a popular one for Super Bowl Prop Bets and this is no exception. According to Caesars Sportsbook, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce scoring a touchdown is inspiring a greater number of bets than any other prop option (player, team, game, etc.). In terms of the total amount of money wagered, Kelce scoring a touchdown is 3rd among props. This is also one of our best Chiefs prop bets.

Coin toss

Yes, betting on the Super Bowl is so popular that bettors will throw their money at something that involves nothing more than luck. The coin toss is obviously a complete crapshoot, a 50/50 proposition between heads and tails. The coin toss is so popular that both outcomes – heads and tails – are in the top four of all Super Bowl props at Caesars in terms of handle generated. Tails is #1 and heads is #4 in that department.

Opening kickoff to be a touchback – No (+155)

A lot of bettors are in the business of immediate satisfaction; they don’t want to wait around until the end of game to see if their best bet is going to win or lose. It’s why the first-basket scorer is extremely popular in the NBA and why the YRFI/NRFI is a Major League Baseball favorite. When it comes to the Super Bowl, wagering on the opening kickoff is an option. Will it be a touchback or will it be returned? No touchback is incurring the sixth-most tickets and the 10th-most money among prop bets at Caesars.

Gatorade shower color

How exotic does Super Bowl betting get? Well, you can even wager on the color of Gatorade with which the winning head coach gets dumped. It may not generate the most bets or most money, but Yellow/Green is currently dominating the action in a big way. Even with 7 options (6 different colors and also “no Gatorade poured”), Yellow/Green (+275) is getting 32 percent of the tickets and 33 percent of the handle at BetMGM Sportsbook. Orange (+300) is next at 20 percent and 21 percent, respectively.

Money Line

In sports betting as a whole, the most basic and most popular markets are the point spread and money line. With this particular spread almost negligible (Eagles -1.5), the money line for Super Bowl 57 is bringing in a whole host of bets. Kansas City is a small +105 underdog, while Philadelphia is a slight -125 favorite. Don’t expect those odds to change, as the betting is right where DraftKings Sportsbook wants it to be. Both sides are currently getting 50 percent of the money line bets.
