What Can You Bet On For Super Bowl

This year is the first time that Illinoisans can legally bet on the Super Bowl in the Land of Lincoln.

PointsBet is a fun option for betting on the Super Bowl. Though they are only available in a handful of States – including New Jersey, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, and Michigan – PointsBet offers some of the best tech in the business, with absolutely excellent customer service. If you placed your risk-free bet on the Chiefs your $500 bet would profit $3,000 if Kansas City followed up with another Super Bowl win in 2021. Just days after Kansas City’s Super Bowl LV loss, DraftKings Sportsbook set the Cheifs as the favorite to win Super Bowl 56.

The logical follow-up question: What can you bet on exactly?

The Super Bowl and gambling go together like peanut butter and jelly. For bettors of all levels, it’s a chance to watch the best teams in the NFL square off while wagering on everything from the Super Bowl coin toss to which team will cover the spread. In-game Super Bowl betting is the ultimate rush for sports bettors. It’s the ability to wager on the game AFTER it’s already started. This means that as the score changes and events happen, you’ll be able to make real-time moneyline, spread, and totals bets. If you want, you can bet more or less on Super Bowl betting sites, depending on the maximum and minimum limits allowed. The ratio in place for each team for the amount bet to the amount won in return, will just be applied to the bet amount. For the most part, moneyline bets are the most conservative wager you can make on the Super Bowl.

There are currently five online sportsbooks in Illinois: DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, William Hill and BetRivers.

Each has hundreds of prop bets available, far more than any typical NFL game. The Super Bowl is always the most bet on individual game on the sports calendar.

Most Illinois sportsbooks have a similarly lengthy betting menu for the big game, though certain operators have lines available that you can’t bet on elsewhere.

And obviously, you can still make the usual bets, such as spread, moneyline, point total, first touchdown scorer, etc.

What are the odds on the Super Bowl?

Here are the current Chiefs vs. Buccaneers lines at top IL sportsbooks:

But if you’re looking for some novelty items, here are some of the highlights for Super Bowl betting in Illinois.

Super Bowl Proposition Bets List

DraftKings Super Bowl props

At DraftKings, like the other four Illinois online sportsbooks, you can bet on the outcome of the coin toss. The standard vig for that bet is -103.

New User Bonus. T&Cs Apply.

Up to $1,000 Deposit Bonus

You can also bet on the coin-toss winner, whether it’s the Chiefs or Buccaneers.

Beyond the coin toss, DraftKings also has some interesting trick play specials. For example, the over/under for “players to attempt a pass” is 2.5.

So, if there is a trick play involving a running back or receiver throwing a pass or a backup quarterback has to come in, the over would hit.

DraftKings is also offering a “Fat Man TD” prop. An offensive lineman scoring a touchdown is listed at +2,000.

An offensive or defensive lineman scoring a touchdown, meanwhile, is offered at +800.

FanDuel Super Bowl props

Think the last play of the game will be a kneel down? “Yes” is currently -135 at FanDuel, while “no” is +105.

FanDuel is also offering some interesting quarterback props.

Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes throwing six touchdowns or more is offered at +1,000.

You can also bet on certain individual plays. For example, Mahomes’ first pass attempt result is offered at -200 complete, +155 incomplete or intercepted.

Brady, on the other hand, is listed at -185 complete and +145 incomplete or intercepted.

PointsBet is also offering single game teasers. For example, Chiefs +2.5 and over 50 is listed at -110.

Another fun one seen at most books: you can bet on the exact total of touchdowns scored. Currently, six is the favorite at +400 odds.

BetRivers Super Bowl props

BetRivers has many of the same props as listed above, but a few interesting wrinkles.

If you could see Andy Reid burning an early timeout, you can bet the Chiefs using the first timeout at -112. The Buccaneers are also -112.

Vegas Super Bowl Proposition Bets

On a related note, you can take either team to use the first challenge of the game at -112.

William Hill Super Bowl props

One fun thing about Super Bowl betting is that you can get extremely specific, if you wish.

William Hill offers the exact number of plays on the first TD drive. “Seven or eight” is the favorite, listed at +300.

A random one: what will be longer, the gross yards of the first punt, or the longest TD scored? Both are offered at -110.

One more note …

At Wednesday’s Illinois Gaming Boardmeeting, administrator Marcus Fruchter said books can offerwhat color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach.

However, as of this writing, no Illinois books have it listed. It will be interesting to see if that changes as the big game nears.

Illinois sportsbooks also cannot offer bets on the length of the national anthem, commercials or half-time show content.
