Imagine this: the Seattle Seahawks dominate the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60, but the real nail-biter wasn’t the game itself—it was the prop bets. While the Seahawks secured a decisive victory, many wagers came down to the final moments, keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the very end. But here’s where it gets controversial: Did the sportsbooks predict the outcome better than the fans? Let’s dive into the results and uncover the surprises that made this Super Bowl one for the books.
The game kicked off with a surprisingly swift rendition of the national anthem by Charlie Puth, clocking in at just 1 minute and 51 seconds. This meant bettors who took the under 116.5 seconds at BetMGM, our sportsbook partner, walked away winners. And this is the part most people miss: The anthem’s brevity set the tone for a game that was largely a defensive battle—until the fourth quarter, when both teams finally unleashed their offenses.
Pregame Props
The Patriots won the coin toss, landing on heads, a small but significant win for those who bet on it.
Halftime Show Props
The halftime show was a spectacle, with the first song being “Titi Me Preguntó” and the last song “DtMF”. Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance as the first guest performer, delighting fans and bettors alike.
Player Props
AJ Barner stole the show as the first touchdown scorer, paying out at +1200 odds. Other anytime touchdown scorers included Barner (+240), Mack Hollins (+400), the Seahawks defense (+400), and Rhamondre Stevenson (+130). Here’s a bold question: Did Barner’s early touchdown shift the momentum of the game, or was it just a fluke?
Postgame Props
The traditional Gatorade shower came in yellow, a colorful end to the Seahawks’ victory celebration.
Miscellaneous Bets
The first points of the game were scored via a field goal, and the winning squares for each quarter were:
- First quarter: Seahawks 3, Patriots 0
- Second quarter: Seahawks 9, Patriots 0
- Third quarter: Seahawks 2, Patriots 0
- Fourth quarter: Seahawks 9, Patriots 3
The first penalty of the game was a false start by the Patriots, and the first turnover was a Patriots fumble. The Seahawks covered the spread in both halves (-3.5 and -4.5) and the totals went under in both the first half (21.5) and the full game (45.5).
Now, here’s a thought-provoking question: With so many prop bets hinging on small details, are these wagers a test of luck or a measure of true sports knowledge? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
