It isn’t required to be an avid sports fan to enjoy Super Bowl 58 or to bet on it. In fact, the Super Bowl is an opportunity to wager on unconventional outcomes that have nothing to do with the actual game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Casual fans can wager on everything from the result of the coin toss to the color of the liquid poured on the winning coach’s head at the end of the game. There are plenty of pop culture prop bets as well, including how long Reba McEntire’s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner will be and how many times Taylor Swift is shown on-camera.
If you are going to be watching Super Bowl 58 but aren’t familiar with either the 49ers or the Chiefs, should you consider placing NFL prop bets to get in on the fun? Before betting any NFL props for Super Bowl 58, you need to see the best 2024 Super Bowl prop picks from SportsLine’s R.J. White.Ā
White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. What’s more, he has emerged as SportsLine’s top NFL expert again this season, posting a documented record of 97-76-4 on all of his NFL picks to net his followers a profit of more than $2,000.
White also has also had past success betting Super Bowl entertainment props, particularly the national anthem. Last year, White said to play Under 2:05 and that he expected the rendition to come in just over two minutes, and it landed at 2:01. He also hit the two prior renditions easily. Anyone who has followed White is way up.
After digging into the hundreds of props offered by oddsmakers, White has identified a handful of epic NFL prop plays worth backing. That includes his attempt to nail the length of the Star-Spangled Banner for a fourth consecutive season and a detailed look at Usher’s potential set list for the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show.Ā You can only see his Super Bowl prop picks here.
2024 Super Bowl coin toss props
A coin toss may start every NFL game, but none of them garner the same kind of attention that the Super Bowl coin toss does. This is because viewers can be part of the action and place Super Bowl coin toss prop bets without having extensive knowledge about either team that is competing. Don’t be fooled, however, because wagering on the Super Bowl coin toss isn’t an exact science.
While the Super Bowl coin toss should technically yield a 50-50 result, the opening coin toss has actually landed on tails in seven of the last 10 Super Bowls, including in the Chiefs’ victory last year. Winning the coin toss doesn’t mean that team will go on to win the game, however, as the coin toss winner has lost eight of the last nine Super Bowls.Ā See White’s Super Bowl coin toss prop play here since he’s banking on a recent coin toss trend.
Usher halftime show props for Super Bowl 58
While Usher has a vast catalog of successful and popular songs, it’s hard to argue that any of them have had more widespread appeal than “Yeah!” The 2004 hit stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks and performed very well internationally, topping several other charts including in the United Kingdom and Australia. It has also been used in multiple TV shows and movies, including “Hitch” and “The Hangover.” “Yeah!” is still a staple at sporting events, making it the perfect song to kick off Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.Ā Click here to see White’s detailed breakdown of Usher’s halftime show picks at Super Bowl LVIII.
Reba McEntire National Anthem props for Super Bowl LVIII
Reba is a country music icon who broke into the industry nearly 50 years ago and she’s been asked to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 58. McEntire has had over 100 singles hit the Billboard Country charts and the “Queen of Country” has sold over 75 million records worldwide. However, now she’ll be performing in front of the largest audience of her career with over 70,000 people expected at Allegiant Stadium and over 100 million more watching at home.
McEntire has performed the Star-Spangled Banner several times publicly, perhaps most famously before Game 3 of the 1997 World Series between the Florida Marlins and the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland. That rendition clocked in at roughly 83 seconds but the over/under for the length of her Super Bowl LVIII performance is at 89.5 seconds. So should you be expecting something similar for Super Bowl Sunday or might the added pomp and circumstance make the over a worthwhile investment?Ā Check out White’s surprising pick for the length of Reba’s national anthem here.
Taylor Swift and other Super Bowl 2024 prop markets
Swift has been in the NFL headlines throughout the season due to her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, which has brought new fans to the sport. She is making a stop on The Eras Tour in Tokyo on Feb. 10, but she is expected to fly to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11. Sportsbooks have released numerous Taylor Swift props for the Super Bowl, including whether she will be shown on the broadcast during the National Anthem.
She is currently -130 to not be shown during the Star-Spangled Banner in the latest Taylor Swift prop odds, but she is -135 to be shown before Jason Kelce (+120) during the anthem. Swift fans can also bet on her outfit color and total broadcast appearances. Other Super Bowl prop markets include the color of liquid poured on the winning head coach and which team’s apparel Drake wears on Super Bowl Sunday.Ā Check out some of the 2024 Super Bowl props available and let White help guide you with his NFL picks here.
