There is no game with more betting excitement than the Super Bowl. Here is a breakdown of all of the different ways you can bet on the big game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Super Bowl 2026 Betting Markets

The Super Bowl is the most bet-on event in America every year. That’s not only because it is such a high-profile and widely watched game, but also because of the expansive betting markets available. DraftKings Sportsbook is the best place to bet on Super Bowl LIX because of the great odds and all of the different betting markets available.

Whether you want to bet on basic game lines like the spread or total, or if you want to dive into the player prop market, there are plenty of ways to attack this game. There are even unique markets for the Super Bowl that wouldn’t be available for a normal game, such as the novelty prop market.


Game Lines

The Seahawks are 4.5-point favorites over the Patriots. Seattle is -238 on the Moneyline, while New England holds +195 odds to pull off the upset. The over/under is 45.5 points.

In addition to the standard spread and total, bettors can slide these in either direction for alt lines. This tool can be used to bring the spread down for the Seahawks or Patriots, often to be included in a same-game parlay. However, you can also slide it to bet on the Seahawks to win by 5.5 points or more at plus money.

In addition to the full game spread, total and Moneyline, you can also bet on similar lines for each half and quarter.


Touchdown Scorers

The touchdown scorer market is always the most popular market for prop bettors. The Seahawks’ two offensive stars, Kenneth Walker III and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, are the two players with the best odds to score. From the Patriots, Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry are the most likely players to score. Bettors can also wager on who will score the first touchdown of the game or who will score multiple touchdowns.


Player Props

All of the classic player props that are available for most NFL games are also ready to be bet on. Bettors can wager on the standard over/under for passing and rushing yards, passing touchdowns, interceptions, receptions, rushing attempts and much more. However, bettors can also scroll the alternate prop numbers if they think a player will vastly overperform their set prop number or make a safer pick to incorporate into parlays.


Game Props

Game props are a fun way to get in on the action because you don’t even need to correctly predict which team or player will perform the best to cash most of these bets. These props are more about the flow of the game or even the likelihood of one specific play happening. Bettors can be as precise as picking the exact final score, or be as general as betting whether or not the game will go to overtime. Bettors can also wager on specific events like what type of play the final play of the game will be, whether there will be a two-point conversion, and much more.


Team Props

The most standard team prop bet is the team total over/under, which basically dictates how many points the team will score. However, there are plenty of other team props available like total touchdowns, turnovers and even third-down conversions for each team.


Game Leaders

One fun market to wager on is the Game Leaders market. Bettors can bet on which player will lead the game in receiving yards, receptions and rushing yards. One can also bet on the Triple Crown, which is a pre-built parlay of who will lead the game in passing, rushing and receiving. The most likely combination is the Seahawks’ trio of Darnold, Walker and Smith-Njigba.


Coin Toss

The coin toss is always one of the most popular bets for the Super Bowl. Bettors can wager on whether the coin will land on heads or tails, and also which team will win the coin toss.


Novelty Props

One of the most popular novelty prop bets each year is on the jersey number of the first touchdown scorer. The over/under for the jersey number of the first touchdown scorer is 10.5. The more likely outcome is the over, which includes Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry. The under would include Kenneth Walker III, Stefon Diggs and Drake Maye.

Another popular market is for over 2.5 players to attempt a pass. That includes a backup quarterback attempting a pass, a fake punt pass or a trick play where a non-quarterback throws a pass. Famously, Cooper Kupp, now a Seahawk, attempted a pass for the Rams in the Super Bowl in 2022. In that same game, Joe Mixon threw a touchdown pass for the Bengals.

The more personalized market on DraftKings this year is on the Seahawks to attempt a pass and to score a touchdown pass from inside the one-yard line. That harkens back to Seattle’s fateful interception from the one-yard line to lose the game the last time it faced New England in the Super Bowl.


Same Game Parlay (Quick SGP)

Bettors can also explore the Quick SGP market, on which DraftKings Sportsbook experts have already prepared same-game parlays of varying odds based on different possible game scripts. This can provide inspiration for those intimidated by the vastness of the betting options for this game.


DK Squares

Squares are an essential part of any Super Bowl party. However, the luck of the draw can often leave you with terrible square numbers. DK Sportsbook allows bettors to pick the square that they want with different odds, all based on the likelihood of that square being a hit.


Super Bowl MVP

These are the 10 players with the best odds to win the Super Bowl 60 MVP. The quarterback of the team favored to win the game will almost always be the favorite to win MVP, followed by the other quarterback and then the top skill position players. One unique player of note on the board is Rashid Shaheed. The Seahawks’ return man is capable of flipping the outcome on one play in the return game, but could also make an impact in the passing game. Seattle’s rookie safety Nick Emmanwori has the best odds of any defensive player to win the award.
