Super Bowl LIX is here, bringing with it football, food, and betting. How do the fans think the game, and the prop bets, will shake out? We take a look.
The 2024 NFL season is coming to a close with tonight’s 2025 Super Bowl LIX contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. A rematch of 2022-2023’s Super Bowl LVII, the game could be the crowning of the Chiefs for an unprecedented third-straight time, or we could see the Eagles crowned for the second time in their franchise’s history. Whatever the case, we are going to be seeing it.
The Super Bowl is the most-watched event annually in the United States and rivals some of the most significant events globally. With so many people watching, there is always a considerable betting contingent on the game, with people predicting the winners, the spread, and so very much more. Prop bets can range from the color of the Gatorade poured on the winning coach after the game (yellow/lime or green set as the favorite) to the length of time of the National Anthem before the game, from which song will be sung first during the halftime show to which team will analyst and former Eagles center Jason Kelce, the brother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, represent during the game?
This year, we also have the possibility of Travis Kelce asking singer Taylor Swift to marry him after the game.
