Super Bowl LIII prop bets

Bovada LV lists odds for 1st TD to halftime show

- Tom Schad

Super Bowl LIII between the Rams and Patriots is rapidly approachin­g, which means it’s time to revisit all of the annual Super Bowl traditions: football squares. A new wave of commercial­s. And outrageous prop bets.

Off-the-field propositio­n bets, as they are more formally known, aren’t legal in Las Vegas, where sports books are required to stick to in-game action. But each year, a number of online outlets give gamblers a means of betting on the strangest and most obscure parts of the Super Bowl, from the attire of halftime performers to specific mentions within the broadcast.

Here are some of the weirdest propositio­n bets for Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta on Sunday, courtesy of online sportsbook Bovada LV.
