Super Bowl LIII is almost here. With just two teams in the game, fans may be looking for a rooting interest in this game. The easiest way to do this is to pick a team, but to stay engaged the whole game, more might be needed. Doing prop bets is becoming increasingly popular, but what bets should be placed? Here are the top five Super Bowl LIII prop bets.
Fans looking to get in on the action early can bet on the coin flip. It is a 50/50 shot and can get the adrenaline running before the game even kicks off.

This bet is another over/under, which is set at 7.5. While this one also has nothing to do with the game, it could be a way to keep otherwise disinterested fans, on the edge of their seats for halftime. Maroon 5 will be the main attraction, but they will be joined by others, as it has become more customary in more recent years. There are also other bets associated with halftime, including the color of Adam Levine’s outfit and who will be joining them on stage.

It is a tradition to shower the winning head coach with Gatorade when the clock expires. Surprisingly though, it doesn’t happen every season. In the last 18 Super Bowls, four of them have had no Gatorade shower for the winning coach after the game. This bet will keep fans engaged until the end of the game, even if it is a blowout, to see what color the Gatorade shower, if any, is.
