Super Bowl 51 Prop Bets Feature President Trump, Deflategate

Bill Belichick

Sportsbooks are back in action this year with a new slate of Super Bowl 51 prop bets ahead of Sunday’s tilt between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.

Bovada.LV, an online sportsbook, is offering entertainment-related bets related to Super Bowl performer Lady Gaga’s halftime show and FOX’s television broadcast. Fans can wager on everything from country singer Luke Bryan’s wardrobe during the National Anthem to what color liquid will be dumped on the game’s winning coach.

Politics, of both the sports-related and presidential variety, also make an appearance. Bets are available on the number of times FOX broadcasters Joe Buck and Troy Aikman mention President Donald Trump, as well as whether they’ll make reference to the “Deflategate” saga involving NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Nevada sportsbooks are also getting in on the action. Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook is taking action on more than 400 game-related props, including whether the opening coin toss will be heads or tails, as well as which player will score the game’s first touchdown.

A breakdown of some of the most interesting prop bets can be found below. All odds are courtesy of Bovada and subject to change before kickoff.
