Point spreads? Yawn. First player to score? Boring.
Here are some of the most unique prop bets on MyTopSportsbooks.com for when the Patriots and Eagles meet in the Super Bowl.
Gatorade Color
Best Odds: Orange 3/1
A tradition that started with the New York Giants in 1986, the Gatorade bath has become a popular ending to the Super Bowl. Since the turn of the century, five coaches have received the orange crush with Gary Kubiak the most recent to do so in 2015.
Belichick’s Hoodie Color
Best Odds: Blue 3/2
When you’re Bill Belichick and you win five Super Bowl titles in 17 seasons, you can wear virtually whatever you want on the sidelines.
Hoodie hysteria is at its peak as fans eagerly await to see how Belichick is dressed when New England takes the field on Feb. 4. Blue checks in with the best odds after the Belichick won Super Bowl 49 in a blue hoodie with sleeves.
Feeling risky? Red has the lowest odds at 54/1 but hasn’t been worn since Eli Manning and the Giants ended a perfect season for the Patriots in Super Bowl 42.
Rob Gronkowski tackles someone/jumps on a defenseless player when the play is dead
Odds: 24/1
With modest odds, Gronkowski’s status for the Super Bowl remains up in the air as he is in concussion protocol. The eighth-year pro makes the cut here following a hit on Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White earlier in the year that earned him a one-game suspension.

First commercial aired (after the coin toss)
Best Odds: Bud Light 15/1
One of the more popular commercials, the “Dilly Dilly” ads have taken off since it debuted on Dec. 10.
Bud Light released a trilogy of ads leading up to the Super Bowl. Due to it’s popularity, it’s expected that the commercial will air in a prime slot so that all true friends of the crown will watch.
Halftime show wardrobe malfunction
Odds: 49/1
After a 13-year hiatus, Justin Timberlake is the halftime performer once again. His last performance was marred by Janet Jackson’s infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during Super Bowl 38.
Payouts on this would likely remain smaller than the $550,000 fine the Federal Communication Commission attempted to levy toward CBS and Viacom.
