Super Bowl parties are basically gambling events disguised as football gatherings. More money gets bet on props than on the actual game now, and if you're hosting a party without a prop sheet, you're doing it wrong. Here's everything you need for Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on February 8.

The Quick Hit

• What happened: Super Bowl LX prop markets are fully loaded for Seahawks vs Patriots
• The damage: 123+ prop markets available, from coin toss to last scorer
• Why you should care: Party props make even casual fans invested in every moment
• The move: Grab a printable sheet and assign odds—everyone throws in $5 per pick

The Main Event Props

Game Spread: Seahawks -4.5 (-110) Total: 45.5 Money Line: Seahawks -230, Patriots +190

The Seahawks opened as 4.5-point favorites and briefly touched -5 before settling back. Sharp money has been on Seattle in pretty much all markets according to theScore Bet's senior trading director. About 69% of spread bets and 70% of spread dollars are on the Seahawks.

The sharp prop action has focused on unders and "No" props—sharps always bet on things NOT happening because the public loves touchdowns and chaos.

Party-Friendly Props

These are the props that make Super Bowl parties fun. Everyone can play, no football knowledge required:

Coin Toss: Heads or Tails, Seahawks or Patriots to win National Anthem Length: Over/Under (usually around 1:55-2:00) First Commercial: Pringles vs. Ritz, Uber Eats vs. Dove, etc. Gatorade Color: Orange, Yellow, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple Will There Be a Safety?: Yes +550 / No -800 Will the Game Go to Overtime?: Yes +1100 / No -2000 Successful 2-Point Conversion?: Yes +290 / No -350

Public bettors always hammer Yes on safety and overtime, which is exactly why those props are so juicy for the No side. In 59 Super Bowls, there have been nine safeties. The last one was 11 years ago.

Player Props Worth Knowing

Drake Maye (NE) Passing Yards: Under 220.5 Sam Darnold (SEA) Passing Yards: Over 235.5 Kenneth Walker III (SEA) Rushing Yards: Over 73.5 TreVeyon Henderson (SEA) Rushing Yards: Over 18.5

Kenneth Walker at -200 for anytime touchdown is the most popular prop on the board. The Seahawks' lead back has four touchdowns in two playoff games and faces a Patriots defense that can be run on.

For MVP, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been generating liability for sportsbooks. The receiver could win it with a big performance, and his odds have shortened considerably. The biggest Super Bowl bets include a wager that would pay $3 million if Seattle wins.

First Touchdown Scorer

This is the lottery ticket prop. First TD scorer bets typically pay +300 to +2000 depending on the player. Some popular options:

• Kenneth Walker III: +300
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba: +800
• Drake Maye (rushing): +2500
• Defensive/ST Touchdown: +900

The smart play is usually a running back or tight end in short-yardage situations, but everyone wants to hit the +2000 shot on some random wide receiver.

Bad Bunny Halftime Props

The halftime show generates its own prop universe. Bad Bunny's performance has props on first song, whether he'll bring out guests, costume changes, and more.

Popular halftime props include:

• First song performed
• Number of songs performed
• Will there be a guest performer?
• What color will Bad Bunny wear first?

How to Run the Pool

The standard format: print a sheet with 20-30 props, have everyone pick over/under or yes/no for each one, and whoever gets the most right wins the pot. Ties go to the person who correctly picked the winner.

Alternatively, assign point values to harder props and create a weighted system. Either way, collect money upfront and have the rules clear before kickoff. Nothing ruins a Super Bowl party faster than arguing about prop scoring during the fourth quarter.

The Bottom Line

Super Bowl prop betting is entertainment dressed up as gambling. You don't need to know a damn thing about football to have action on the anthem length or Gatorade color. Grab a printable sheet, get everyone invested, and watch even the most casual fans lose their minds when that first commercial airs. Kickoff is 6:30 PM ET Sunday from Levi's Stadium.
