Each year the Super Bowl is a time for bettors to try to win big. The Eagles are 4.5-point underdogs against the Patriots, which means anyone rolling with the dog mask-wearing squad from Philly could be due for a nice payout in an upset.
But the real fun comes from the wild list of Super Bowl prop bets. These wacky bets range anywhere from the length of the national anthem time, all the way to what color shoes Justin Timberlake will be wearing for the halftime show. There are even bets on whether Terrell Owens, Donald Trump and Janet Jackson get mentioned during the TV broadcast.

One of the most popular national anthem prop bets has to be the time length of the performance. Pink does boast quite a vocal range, but the odds of her breaking Alicia Keys' near four-minute rendition in 2013 seem slim. Pink grew up about an hour outside of Philly and is a big Eagles fan, so uttering some sort of "Go Eagles" cheer or donning green apparel is a strong possibility.

And, of course, we can't forget that the pop singer has been known to rock some pretty wild hairstyles and colors. That being said, it seems a standard blonde look is a safe bet for her national anthem performance.
Halftime show prop bets

Will any members from *NSYNC perform with Justin Timberlake? | |
Yes | +300 (3/1) |
No | -500 (1/5) |
The oddsmakers had to have something for Mr. Timberlake's wardrobe in arguably the biggest concert of the year. The shoes prop bet seems a bit tough to guess, but betting on him wearing the hat, that shows a true gambler. Being that the Super Bowl is in Minneapolis, it would only seem right that they pay some sort of tribute to the Minnesota native and pop legend Prince, whether that's sung by Timberlake or potentially a special guest. And speaking of special guests, could we see J.T. throw back all the way to his *NSYNC days with Lance Bass or Joey Fatone? Let's hope not.

The broadcast bets are an interesting bunch with the big names and events as the focal point. The biggest number comes from whether or not certain people will be mentioned and, in some cases, how many times they are. That list includes Carson Wentz, Terrell Owens, Janet Jackson and even President Trump.
Then there's how many times certain talking points will come up such as McNabb's puking incident in Super Bowl 39, which also featured the Patriots and Eagles; the infamous wardrobe malfunction the last time Timberlake performed the Super Bowl halftime show; and, of course, just how frigid the temperatures are outside of U.S. Bank Stadium on game day.
