Which team scores first? (Denver -115 / Seattle -105)
Denver has the stronger offense by far but this prop depends a lot on who wins the coin toss and gets the ball first. I like Seattle to score first in a very mild upset.
Which team scores last? (Denver -115 / Seattle -105)
You might think this is who you think will win the game will score last. However, what if a team has a large lead and the other team scores a late garbage touchdown? This is another coin flip basically but I like Seattle to score last as well.
Will there be a score in the last 2 minutes of the first half? (Yes -270 / No +230)
This seems like the odds are awfully low on a score in last two minutes of the first half. I think no is definitely worth a play at +230.
Will either team score three straight times? (Yes -170 / No +150)
I think these two teams are evenly matched and I don’t see either team scoring three straight times. Seattle will want to control the clock with their powerful running game with running back Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Russell Wilson. Seattle has a great defense but the best defense against Denver’s explosive offense is to keep Manning on the sideline.
Will there be a successful two point conversion? (No -440 / Yes +350)
Two point conversions happen more often then you would think, especially if a team is up by 8 or 11 points. I think yes at +350 is definitely worth a shot.
Will there be a safety in the game? (No -1000 / Yes +650)
Safeties don’t happen all that often hence the long odds on yes. However in last year’s Super Bowl the Baltimore Ravens were up by 5 with less than a minute left against the San Francisco 49ers and intentionally took a safety to run time off the clock. I think yes at +650 is worth a play.
Will the game go into overtime? (No -1165 / Yes +750)
In 47 previous Super Bowls, no game has ever gone into overtime. It has come close in recent years, and will happen eventually. Any bet on yes would be no more than a shot in the dark.
Will there be a defensive or special teams touchdown? (No -185 / Yes +165)
The Broncos and Seahawks combined for 9 defensive/special teams touchdowns, and allowed six during the regular season. I think yes is a good play.
Will the first score of the game be a touchdown? (Yes -150 / No +130)
Teams usually are a little nervous and need some time to settle down in the Super Bowl. I think it is very possible the first score could be a field goal. No is worth a shot.
What will the largest lead of the game be? (over 13 1/2 -150 / under +130)
This is similar to the three unanswered scores prop. I think this will be a very close game and getting plus money on under 13.5 points is a good bargain.
Total yards of longest touchdown scored in the game? (over 44 1/2 -105 / under -115)
Both teams have explosive big play potential especially Peyton Manning and Lynch. I like over 44 1/2 yards for the longest touchdown.
Those are some fun props I like and I hope everyone enjoys the game.
