The Caesars Superdome will host Super Bowl 59, with the Eagles vs. Chiefs clashing on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. The last time New Orleans hosted The Big Game, in 2013, there was an infamous power outage, and wouldn’t you know, but that is one of the 2025 Super Bowl props one can wager on happening again. The latest Super Bowl prop lines have “No” at -2500 for a Superdome power outage, with “Yes” coming in at +870. These novelty NFL props are becoming increasingly more popular and extend into the entertainment world as well.

Chiefs vs. Eagles prop bets don’t just involve the play in between the white lines, as one could make wagers on the coin toss, National Anthem, halftime show and more. Armchair meteorologists can even bet on the kickoff temperature via some sportsbooks. What are the best 2025 Super Bowl props to jump on for the halftime show, the National Anthem, coin toss and more? Before betting any NFL props for Super Bowl 59, you need to see the best 2025 Super Bowl prop picks from SportsLine’s R.J. White.

White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and has gone 643-543-34 on his ATS picks from 2017-23, which returned more than $4,600 to $100 players. He also went 101-84-4 (+1366) on all NFL spread picks last season and is on a 29-15 roll (+1323) on his NFL picks this season. Anyone who has followed him could be way up.

White also has also had past success betting Super Bowl entertainment props, particularly the National Anthem. Last year, White said to play Over 89.5 seconds for anthem singer, Reba McEntire, and it landed at 94 seconds. He’s now nailed the National Anthem prop in four straight Super Bowls.

After digging into the hundreds of props offered for Super Bowl LIX, White has identified a handful of epic NFL props worth backing. That includes his attempt to nail the length of the “Star-Spangled Banner” for a fifth consecutive season and a must-see play on Kendrick Lamar’s potential set list for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show. You can only see his Super Bowl prop picks here.

2025 Super Bowl coin toss props

Don’t be surprised to see a friend, family member or whomever you’re watching the game with have a notable reaction once the Super Bowl coin toss happens, as millions of dollars will be wagered on its result. It’s the ultimate 50/50 proposition, and Super Bowl history has it pretty close to being evenly split amongst the two sides. Through the first 58 games, Tails has come up 30 times (52%), with Heads at 28 times (48%). In terms of recent history, Heads has prevailed in three of the last four Super Bowls, but the one outlier was two years ago, which just happened to be the first Chiefs vs. Eagles meeting in The Big Game.

There are even Super Bowl odds for both Heads and Tails, via most sportsbooks, and you can bet on not just which side of the coin comes up but also which team wins the coin toss. Additionally, there are Coin Toss Specials via some books which include the toss result and the outcome of the game in an NFL parlay. For example at +240 NFL props odds is Heads coming up and the Chiefs winning the game. Meanwhile, at +290, you could wager on Tails coming up and the Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX. See White’s Super Bowl coin toss prop play here since he’s banking on a recent coin toss trend.

Kendrick Lamar halftime show props for Super Bowl 59

There is no shortage of props available for the Super Bowl 59 halftime show, which is headlined by rapper Kendrick Lamar. Over the past five years, the number of halftime show songs has ranged from nine (2021) to 15 (2020), with last year’s show featuring 10. Lamar’s song total is set at 10.5, with the Under juiced to -122.

Jon Batiste National Anthem props for Super Bowl LIX

Five-time Grammy winner, and New Orleans native, Jon Batiste will perform the Star-Spangled Banner, with a number of National Anthem props available for his rendition. The over/under is 120.5 seconds, and the last three times the Super Bowl anthem had an O/U of at least two minutes, the Under hit every time. Batiste previously sang the anthem at the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, also in New Orleans, and it came in just under two minutes.

That performance came with Batiste on the piano, and that is another Super Bowl prop available for Sunday. “Yes” has prop odds of -400 that Batiste will be on the keys, with “No” at +290. The anthem ends with “The home of the brave”, and one could make predictions on how long Batiste’s note for “brave” will last. The over/under is 3.5 seconds, and it has even odds of -113 for both sides. Thus, doing a fair share of research on Batiste, and his past performances, could result in a lucrative payout with Super Bowl National Anthem props. Check out White’s surprising pick for the length of Jon Batiste’s national anthem here, all from the expert who has nailed this prop four straight years.

Taylor Swift and other Super Bowl 2025 prop markets

Taylor Swift is expected to be at the Superdome rooting on beau Travis Kelce. Last year, there were Super Bowl prop odds of +920 on Kelce proposing to Swift after the game. With another year of being a couple under their belts, those odds have moved to +750, per the latest 2025 Taylor Swift Super Bowl props. The star tight end not proposing to Swift is still the heavy favorite, with “No” having odds of -1500.

Outside of Swift, the Gatorade color that the winning coach gets doused in will also be followed. Purple is the betting frontrunner at +210, as the Chiefs showered Andy Reid in that Gatorade color the past two seasons. Yellow and green, for the Eagles, is +300, while red and pink, for Kansas City, is +350. The biggest longshot for this NFL prop is there being no Gatorade dump, which has happened just once over the last 11 years, at +2500. Check out some of the 2025 Super Bowl props available and let White help guide you with his NFL picks here.
