Super Bowl 2018 prop bets: Pregame odds include coin toss, national anthem wagers

After landing on “heads” five straight times, from Super Bowl XLIII to Super Bowl XLVII, the opening coin toss has landed on “tails” in each of the last four Super Bowls. This recent surge has given “tails” a 27-24 all-time lead over its counterpart.

Both “heads” and “tails” being the result of the opening coin toss are going off at -105 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com on the Super Bowl LII prop bets.

In addition to betting on what the coin will land on at Super Bowl LII, bettors also can wager on which team will win the toss, with both Philadelphia and New England going off at -105, and whether the team that makes the call will be correct or incorrect with both sides at -105.

The coin toss has not been kind to the Patriots, the Super Bowl betting favorites, in recent years with six of their last seven Super Bowl appearances kicking off with a coin-toss loss.

The average length of the singing of the last 12 national anthems at the Super Bowl has been 1:58. The line for this year’s rendition of the national anthem, performed by Pink, has been set at 2:00, with the OVER going off as a -150 favorite and the UNDER paying +110.

Of course, the length of the song is just one of many props that pregame bettors can choose from. Pink is also a -500 favorite to not forget or omit a word during the national anthem.

Another sidestory to this year’s anthem performance is the fact that Pink is a die-hard Eagles fan. Will her Philadelphia pride bleed into her performance? Pink making no mention of the Eagles before, during, or after her singing of the anthem is a slight favorite at -150 over a mention at +110.

The three-time Grammy Award winner is also a -300 favorite to not wear an Eagles shirt or hat during her performance, going off at +200 to wear her team’s attire.
