Popular Prop Bets For Super Bowl XLIX
Thursday, January 29th, 2015 -- 10:34 AM
Picking the exact score is just one of hundreds of prop bets available at the SuperBook and other sportsbooks across Vegas and online.The most popular prop bet at William Hill's Nevada sportsbook is on something that's occurred in the last three Super Bowls -- a safety. The Denver Broncos started last year's game with an errant snap over Peyton Manning's head that resulted in a safety for the Seahawks. Two years ago, theBaltimore Ravens took an intentional safety while protecting a late lead in their victory over the San Francisco 49ers. And, in 2012, the Patriots were called for an offensive holding penalty in their own end zone, resulting in a safety for the New York Giants. Bettors are loading up that it happens again. A safety is paying around 5-1.
At the Stratosphere, bettors believe there's a good chance that the Super Bowl will go into overtime for the first time. Like the safety, overtime is paying around 5-1.
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is attracting the most attention for the first player to score a touchdown. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (7-1) is the next most popular pick.
