Super Bowl Prop Bets - Team Propositions

Super Bowl Prop Bets - Team Propositions

When it comes to Super Bowl proposition bets, everybody loves to get into the action. There are more bets offered than seems humanly possible, as it's the last opportunity for the sportsbooks to get their hand in your wallet, or purse.

There are three primary types of Super Bowl propositions - team bets, player bets, and game bets. Team bets are those relating to the performance of one of the two teams, player bets are those relating to the performance of specific players, while game bets, naturally, deal with the game and can include pregame, post-game, and halftime activities.

In this article, we'll look at the team propositions available for betting. All lines are from The Greek, but since odds will vary from sportsbook to sportsbook, it's worth shopping around for the best numbers before placing a bet.

NOTE: The Super Bowl propositions are listed in money line format. If you're new to the world of sports betting, I would suggest reading Understanding Money Lines first, as the odds will be easier to understand.
