The Super Bowl always brings out some crazy wagers and prop bets and in 2015, some of the best ones for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots include what Marshawn Lynch will do if he gets a touchdown celebration, what the first score will be, if there will be a safety, whether there will be overtime and much more for the game on Sunday in Arizona.
Anyone who bet on a safety being the first score a few years ago cashed in with the Giants and Patriots playing and now gamblers will be looking for another edge in 2015. This Super Bowl could be a high scoring game, or it could be a defensive matchup and there is a big bet on one team scoring just four points in the game, while others have bets on whether a team will score just two points in a game on a safety.
Peyton Manning and the Broncos also started with a safety in the Super Bowl last year and that has started to become a popular bet. Rob Gronkowski is getting attention, as many have bet on him to be the first player to score a TD in the Super Bowl this year. Gronkowski also has bets on his celebration if he does score and according to ESPN.com, Gronkowski has the best odds for any player of scoring the first touchdown. The prop bets are always mostly a joke, but when someone bets correctly and it hits right, it also can make for some rich fans.
The Patriots come in as the slight favorites, but this game is basically a pick em for real gamblers. The prop bets are always fun for fans and Vegas cashes in and now people will try and do the same. Last year there were a number of interesting ones and this year has even more with players like Lynch, Tom Brady and Gronk getting individual prop bets.
