If you have blood in your veins and breath in your lungs, you’re probably going to wager on Super Bowl LX.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) projects that millions of people will wager around $1.76 billion prior to kickoff on Sunday — which only accounts for legal sportsbooks and would still set a record.
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks’ matchup provides plenty of interesting angles for us to explore, so let’s take a look at the ones that might be able to make us some money!
NESN’s prop bet choices and their odds were taken from DraftKings Sportsbook:
Coin Toss Outcome — Heads (-103)

It’s the best odds we’ll get all weekend!
The Super Bowl coin toss has been rather consistent over the years, landing on tails 8-of-12 times since 2014.

The Seahawks and Patriots have also seen that side come up in the majority of their appearances in the big game, with the former having it land on tails in all three of theirs (XL, XLVIII and XLIX) and the latter in seven of their nine (XX, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII, XLIX, LI, LIII). Super Bowl 50, the only other iteration of the game to be played at Levi’s Stadium, also had the coin toss land on tails back in 2016.
I don’t know about you, but despite the odds remaining a total crapshoot, it feels like the other side is due.
1Q Rush Yards — Rhamondre Stevenson 15+ (+101)

New England runs the ball extremely well in the early going, ranking third in rushing success rate and fourth in explosive run rate during the opening script, according to Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice.
Rhamondre Stevenson has backed those numbers up recently, averaging 29.3 rushing yards in the first quarter since returning to his starting role in Week 13.
Don’t overthink it!

Anytime TD — Kayshon Boutte (+330) or George Holani (+550)
No, I am not suggesting that you parlay these guys together.
I am suggesting that you take your pick depending on which feels more likely.

Kayshon Boutte has been rather inconsistent in finding the end zone, but does feel like the only option if you’re expecting an explosive passing touchdown for Drake Maye — especially in a game where his team could be playing from behind.
George Holani only has one touchdown all season, but is now serving in the “steal all of Kenneth Walker’s red zone touches” role that was made so effective by Zach Charbonnet. If you don’t believe me, just know that Walker’s five rushing touchdowns came from an average of 15.8 yards, while Charbonnet’s 12 rushing touchdowns came from an average of 6.0.
Uchenna Nwosu Sacks — 1+ (+293)

Maye has been battered and beaten recently, being sacked for times in each of his first three playoff starts — so why would things change now?
Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, who will make history by becoming the first rookie duo to start on the offensive line in a Super Bowl on Sunday, have struggled with stunts and allowed edge rushers to generate pressure up the middle.
Uchenna Nwosu is our choice to get home due to the odds (fourth best on his own team) and the fact that he has three this season when primarily matched up with rookies/sophomores.
Milton Williams Sacks — 1+ (+195)
Milton Williams has four total sacks in his last four postseason games, including two in Super Bowl LIX.
It’s an easy choice…
Stefon Diggs & Jaxon Smith-Njigba Total Receiving Yards — O143.5 (-112)
Stefon Diggs and Jaxon Smith-Njigba averaged 165.1 receiving yards per game during the regular season.
It’s safe to say that number has dropped significantly during the postseason, though the latter’s blowout victory in the divisional round significantly impacted the numbers. JSN could do this one himself, with every catch from Diggs serving as a sweetener.
Seahawks First Reception — Kenneth Walker (+550)
The Seahawks really like to spread the wealth early in these games, though no one has made the first reception more than K9.
Seahawks First Reception (2025)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba – 5
Kenneth Walker – 5
A.J. Barner – 3
Cooper Kupp – 2
Tory Horton – 2
Rashid Shaheed – 2
Walker’s odds (+550) are far and away the best of that group as he sits behind Smith-Njigba (+160), Kupp (+425) and Barner (+475).
Exact Game Points — 41 (+2200)
You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts!
I don’t expect anyone to drop significant funds on this bet, but I have the final score at 21-20, so why not see if I can reward myself for being correct?
If you have a different final score, try it out and let me know if it cashes.
