From Jason Kelce’s outfit to Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance, here are the wackiest Super Bowl LIX novelty bets

The Super Bowl is a time for both die-hard and casual fans to come together, enjoy a high-stakes football game, and everything else that comes with it. Fans are tuning in from all over to watch the big game — whether it’s for the halftime show, the game itself, the commercials, or the unusual gambling opportunities.

With the nonstop action the night brings, there are plenty of wacky novelty bets to wager on and you don’t need to be a football expert to make them. If you spent too much money preparing for your Super Bowl party — or buying tickets to attend the game in New Orleans — then now is your time to win some back, and have fun in the process. As a reminder, some of these bets vary state to state and are made available in some legalized gambling states. Some of these props may also be unavailable to bet on in Pennsylvania. Either way, here are some of the wackiest bets to wager on for Super Bowl LIX …

This year’s national anthem will be performed by musician and composer Jon Batiste. The artist attended Julliard and released his first album at 17-years-old. Since then, he has release six studio albums and won seven Grammy’s including album of the year for We Are in 2021. Now, the Louisiana native will sing the anthem for Super Bowl LIX and fans can bet on performance.

Viewers can take the over or under for the total length of the entire performance or the total length of the last “brave” sung by Batiste. You can also bet on whether or not he’ll perform the song with a piano. If you’re unfamiliar with Batiste and you’re not sure if you want to take the chance on those bets, then you can bet on whether or not a player or coach will be shown crying during the performance.

If you want some help, I would recommend looking back at 2023’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles when Nick Sirianni went viral for crying during the national anthem sang by Chris Stapleton.

Perhaps some of the most entertaining — and difficult — bets come from the halftime performance. This year’s performance will feature Kendrick Lamar and special guest SZA. The 22-time Grammy winning artist has a huge catalog of songs and a wide range of stars he could bring to the stage. Viewers can bet on what his first song and final songs will be, along with which guests he could bring out.

Lamar’s catalog includes songs with Rihanna, his cousin Baby Keem, West Coast artist Tyler, the Creator, and Taylor Swift — who we already know should be in attendance for Sunday’s game. Betting on Swift as a special guest appearance for the performance could earn fans some big bucks.

There’s even some fun prop bets that involve his beef with Canadian rapper Drake. How many diss songs will Lamar play about Drake and will Drake release a song on Super Bowl Sunday? The funniest part about this is that these bets are only available to place in Ontario.

The betting opportunities continue even after the game is over. The color of Gatorade poured on the winning head coach is one of the most popular things wagered on. In the last two years, the Kansas City Chiefs have poured purple Gatorade on Andy Reid. In the chance of a three-peat, they could change it up.

If the Eagles win, we’re not quite sure. But blue could be a fun pick since that was what was the color poured over Lamar’s head in the Apple Music teaser for the halftime show. Viewers can also bet on who the Super Bowl MVP will thank first and whether or not Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift post-Super Bowl — but it has to be on the field.

In fact, there are quite a lot of Swift-themed bets fans can take this year. These bets include normal football prop bets that are named after iconic Swift songs.

And of course, you can’t mention Swift, Travis Kelce, and the Eagles without mentioning Jason Kelce. Fans can bet on what the former Eagles center will wear during Sunday’s game as he watches his brother compete against his former team.
