    Everyone knows that for a good portion of America, especially for casuals and fans of non-participating teams, the Super Bowl is one of the best excuses to throw a party.

    And what better to have at your gathering than some (responsible) gambling among friends and acquaintances? If you're looking for some fun topics to toss a light wager on while the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs go at it in Super Bowl LIX, you've come to the right place.

    Bleacher Report staffers Joey Akeley, Bryan Toporek and Jason Dunbar knocked their helmet-less heads together to come up with the following fantasy props that you aren't likely to find at any sportsbook.

Will Kendrick Lamar Perform 'Not Like Us' at the Halftime Show?

    Yes: -2000
    No: +2000

    On 2022's "Rich Spirit," Kendrick Lamar said "Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you 'to a song."

    Turns out that, in part, served as the ultimate foreshadowing for the public escalation of his beef with Drake. After multiple diss tracks on both sides, including Lamar's "Not Like Us," Drake filed an anti-defamation lawsuit against both rappers' music label, Universal Music Group in January. This came in the wake of the serious accusations leveled against the Canadian star in Lamar's Grammy Award-winning track.

    Now, Lamar is the headlining act at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.

    Reams of speculation exist about whether he'll perform the knockout blow in one of the most famous rap battles of all time.

    All signs point to yes. Fox has promoted the song in a Super Bowl commercial, and rumors are that the NFL won't stop him from performing it. Per Marc Lamont Hill, an anonymous "NFL person" said "Kendrick can do whatever he wants at the Super Bowl."

    Perhaps the more intriguing questions are whether he'll perform the whole thing and which parts of it will he roll out if he works it into a medley—as some lines are more incendiary than others.

    Since we won't know until the show goes on in New Orleans, the will-he/won't-he dilemma isn't solved. But it still feels like it did heading into the San Diego Chargers-San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl XXIX matchup in January 1995: another knockout for the favorite.

    I'm sure Lil Wayne is just glad Drake is taking the brunt of Kendrick's ire these days.

    Verdict: Yes, he'll perform at least some portion of it, which counts here.

Will Travis Kelce Propose to Taylor Swift Postgame?

    Yes: +2000
    No: -2000

    Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was non-committal when a reporter asked him in the lead-up to the Super Bowl whether he'd propose to 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift.

    "Wouldn't you like to know," he said.

    Given Swift's business acumen, it seems unlikely that she'd risk her empire by subjecting it to the institution of marriage. It's clear a prenuptial agreement would have to be involved if this were to happen.

    Beyond that, if Kelce were to ask her in any sort of public forum, you'd have to believe the couple would have worked out the answer ahead of time. There's no chance that Kelce would risk the public humiliation of a "no" in front of a good portion of the Western world and beyond.

    The Chiefs would also likely have to win the game, as no one would want such an important life event tied to a painful L.

    Given all of the above, the odds are extremely long that this will happen during the postgame festivities.

    But hey. Maybe love conquers all.

    Verdict: No postgame proposal

Will There Be a Kelce-Reid-Like Incident on Either Team?

    Yes: +1500
    No: -1500

    You may remember Travis Kelce getting into Andy Reid's face and bumping his head coach during last year's Super Bowl. It went viral, and everyone had a good laugh about it in the end since the game resulted in another Kansas City championship.

    If a similar incident were to happen, the smart money would be on a Jalen Hurts-A.J. Brown blowup. That's because there was at least some smoke in December amid the Eagles' 10-game winning streak.

    During the penultimate victory of that run, Hurts threw for 108 yards against the Panthers, and Brown was shown on the sidelines animatedly talking to fellow receiver DeVonta Smith. The Eagles' top target also threw his helmet after a three-and-out. After the game, a reporter asked Brown about what Philly needed to improve, and he said "passing." He also said there was "not too much conversation" between him and his quarterback about the need to get better.

    A day later, on a radio spot with Sports Radio 94 WIP, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said "things have changed" in regard to the Hurts-Brown relationship.

    The situation made the rounds on the morning sports talk shows. Brown and Graham then clarified and/or walked back their comments. The receiver and QB said they were "good" with each other, and, per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, people within the organization said the situation was overblown.

    On its face, that all sounds reasonable. But we're having some fun here in our fantasy prop-bet land. What happens if Hurts is sitting around 100 passing yards in the third quarter and the Eagles can't get anything going offensively? Would Brown lose his cool again? Would he get in Hurts' face?

    It's not likely, but with the history here and the high-stakes environment, it's at least possible. There are also plenty of fiery personalities in this one—including the Chiefs star tight end who popped off last year.

    Verdict: Yes. I'm feeling frisky at +1500, and Graham's original comments reveal there's at least a chance. I believe in you, A.J.

How Many References to Previous 3-Peat Winners Will There Be? What About Pat Riley?

    Pat Riley

    Over 0.5: -120
    Under 0.5:
    -120

    No, Pat Riley never pulled off a three-peat in his Hall of Fame basketball career, neither as a player, coach nor executive.

    So why's he pictured above?

    That's because the man has the varying versions of the term "three-peat" trademarked. In a stroke of business genius, the then-Los Angeles Lakers bench boss filed for the trademark when his Showtime squad was going for three titles in a row in 1988-89, having beaten the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons two seasons prior. The Lakers fell to the Pistons in the '89 Finals, but Riley's trademark lives on.

    Now, he reportedly has a deal with the Chiefs that will allow the NFL team to use the term on its championship merchandise should it defeat the Eagles. It's possible announcers Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady (or a sideline reporter, who are fair game), will have picked up on that fact and thrown him a mention.

    As for other major American sports franchises that have won three consecutive championships, the last to do it were the Kobe Bryant-Shaquille O'Neal Lakers from 2000 to '02 and the Mariano Rivera-Derek Jeter-led New York Yankees from 1998 to 2000. It has never happened in the NFL.

    Given that, it's possible announcers Brady and Burkhardt branch out and mention those Lakers and Yankees from the NBA and MLB, respectively. There were also two such stretches in the '90s from Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.

    Then again, who can tell if Brady knows about anything other than winning Lombardis.

    Verdict: Take the over on both.

Will Every Eagles Tush Push Be Successful?

5 of 14

    Terence Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

    Yes: -105
    No: +105

    The Tush Push isn't as automatic as it was in 2023, but it still feels like a cheat code. For example, in the NFC Championship Game, the Eagles used it six times and converted four of them with two touchdowns. One of the "fails" came on 1st-and-goal when Hurts fumbled the snap; they ran it again the next play and scored. The other fail came on a two-point conversion attempt from the 1-yard line.

    I'm leaning toward "No" here for two reasons. One, the Eagles will probably attempt a handful, which makes a perfect conversion rate hard to pull off. Two, the Chiefs stopped Josh Allen short (or did they?) on a fourth-down Tush Push that essentially cost the Bills the AFC Championship Game.

    For those leaning "Yes," you'll be happy to know that Hurts is 8-of-8 against the Chiefs on Tush Pushes needing one yard in their last two matchups.

    Verdict: No

Will Tom Brady Address Mahomes and the GOAT Discussion?

    Yes: -250
    No: +250

    Let's clear up one thing right off the bat: Play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt will almost assuredly bring up the GOAT debate.

    The question is, will Tom Brady join that debate, or will he ignore any GOAT talk?

    It's a bit of an awkward situation for Brady, but it feels like something he can't ignore.

    Brady may not specifically say that he is currently the GOAT. But you can expect him to say something like, "Patrick Mahomes is trending toward becoming the GOAT."

    Verdict: Yes

    —Joey Akeley

If There's a Streaker, Will Gronk Have Met Them Before?

7 of 14

    Yes: +3000
    No: -3000

    You might be asking yourself, "What in the world is this question?"

    In the World Series, two Yankees fans interfered with Mookie Betts trying to catch a foul ball down the right field line. The fans were banned indefinitely from MLB stadiums.

    Rob Gronkowski admitted that one of the fans was his college roommate.

    That has us wondering if a friend of Gronk will interfere with the Super Bowl.

    There were streakers at last year's Super Bowl, but anecdotally, it feels like a 50-50 chance there will be one in any given Super Bowl. Your Prop Bet Committee will have to decide how to handle the bet if there's no streaker at all (would it be a void or a loss?).

    If you can get a good price on a streaker knowing Gronk, you gotta put a small bet on it, right?

    Verdict: Sprinkle on "If there's a streaker, Gronk knows them" if you can get it at +3000

How Many Times Will the Giants Be Mentioned Concerning Saquon?

    Over 2.5: -110
    Under 2.5: +110

    Bleacher Report NFL editor and diehard Giants fan Wes O'Donnell posed this question, because of course he did. Saquon Barkley lives rent-free in his head.

    But in all seriousness, it's a great question.

    First, a point of clarification. We're only counting in-game references. Pregame, halftime and postgame shows don't count.

    It seems like a lock that Fox will have a graphic about Barkley's dominance this year, and the Giants will definitely come up there. So that's one.

    There are plenty of ways we could get to two. For example, Barkley's second-highest rushing total of the regular season came against the Giants (176), which could be mentioned. As could one of Barkley's pre-Super Bowl quotes about how the Eagles' offensive line is better than the lines he had with the Giants.

    The third one might have to be an organic mention, which will be more likely to happen if Barkley has an amazing play or an amazing game.

    Verdict: Give me the over, as I think there will be exactly three mentions

Will KC Come Back to Win After Facing a Largest Deficit of 10?

    Yes: +1000
    No: -1000

    First, let's clarify this prop. If the Chiefs get down by 11-plus, this is an automatic losing ticket. They have to be down by exactly 10 and come back to win.

    The implied odds of a +1000 bet are 9 percent. This feels more like a 1 percent chance.

    And yet, this bet would have hit in the last three Chiefs Super Bowls.

    Their largest deficit in Super Bowl LIV was 20-10.

    Their largest deficit in Super Bowl LVII was 24-14.

    Their largest deficit in Super Bowl LVIII was 10-0.

    I think a sprinkle is in order.

    Verdict: Yes, but ideally you get longer odds than +1000

Will A.J. Brown Be Shown on Camera Reading His Motivational Book?

    Yes: -250
    No: +180

    A.J. Brown had a quiet game during the Eagles' Wild Card Round victory over the Green Bay Packers, finishing with only one catch on three targets for 10 yards. That didn't stop him from making headlines off the field, though. During the fourth quarter of the game, Fox's broadcast showed Brown reading a book on the sideline.

    B/R Gridiron @brgridiron

    Always a great opportunity to improve yourself <a href="https://t.co/f5XsxrAPZU">pic.twitter.com/f5XsxrAPZU</a>

    The book, Inner Excellence, is about how to "train your mind for extraordinary performance and the best possible life." After the game, Brown explained on social media how reading the book helps him lock in mentally.

    Earlier this season, Brown said the Eagles' offense needed to improve on "passing," which created a brief firestorm around the team. Given his lack of involvement against the Packers, some speculated that his in-game reading session was a sign of frustration. However, Brown shot that notion down after the game as well.

    "I wasn't frustrated at all. I figured that's what y'all probably thought," he told reporters. "Why do you always think I be frustrated? Dang. I like to read."

    Inner Excellence quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on Amazon's best-sellers list after the Eagles-Packers game, and Brown met with the book's author, Jim Murphy, the following week. Given all of the extra hoopla that comes with the Super Bowl—which Brown already seems to be over with—his well-read copy of Inner Excellence is all but certainly making the trip to New Orleans.

    Verdict: Yes.

Will There Be a Major Stadium Issue?

11 of 14

    Yes: +130
    No: -200

    The last time the Super Bowl was held at the Superdome in New Orleans, an "abnormality in the system" caused the stadium to lose lighting for 34 minutes.

    When the Eagles and Chiefs met at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for Super Bowl LVII two years ago, issues with the turf caused players to slip and slide all over the field. After the game, Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata described it as like "playing in a water park." (The NFL later blamed Eagles and Chiefs players for not wearing the right cleats.)

    With that in mind, the Eagles and Chiefs should be on high alert for unusual circumstances this year.

    The Eagles already dealt with suboptimal field conditions in their Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in São Paulo, Brazil. Their experience from the Super Bowl two years ago helped them to be more prepared this time around. They also overcame the conditions during a snowy divisional-round victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

    The Superdome is home to the New Orleans Saints, so the stadium crew has plenty of practice hosting NFL games. Let's just hope the NFL doesn't decide to debut another new "experimental" grass this year.

    Verdict: It can't happen again...right?

Will Jason Kelce Take His Shirt Off at Any Point?

12 of 14

    Yes: -300
    No: +200

    Jason Kelce spent 13 years as the Eagles' starting center before retiring this past offseason. His brother, Travis, happens to play for the Chiefs, in case you're one of the three remaining people on Earth who hadn't heard.

    During a recent episode of their New Heights podcast, Jason said that he'd be rooting both for the Eagles and for his brother in this year's Super Bowl.

    "I'll always root for my brother," Jason said. "… But there's a lot of people in the Philadelphia organization, whether it's players, coaches, people in the building, that feel like extended family to me."

    Thanks to the Eagles' late-season collapse last year, Jason was able to head to Kansas City for the Chiefs' divisional-round matchup against the Buffalo Bills. After Travis scored a touchdown in the second quarter, Jason ripped off his shirt and celebrated in the below-freezing temperature.

    "I gave [his wife] Kylie a heads-up the moment we got into the suite," Jason said. "I said, 'I'm taking my shirt off and I'm jumping out of that suite.' And she said, 'Jason, don't you dare.' … And she was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor [Swift]. So, she's like, 'Be on your best behavior.'

    What's going to happen when Kelce has reason to cheer for both sides? Particularly in a city known for its topless drunken revelry? Oddsmakers might not be able to set the odds for "yes" high enough here.

    Verdict: Bet your mortgage on it.

Will Patrick Mahomes Draw a Personal Foul Penalty?

    Yes: -350
    No: +270

    Both Patrick Mahomes and the NFL are pushing back against the notion that he gets preferential treatment from officials. However, the Chiefs are no stranger to having favorable calls go their way in the playoffs, particularly ones involving Mahomes.

    During their divisional-round win over the Houston Texans, the Chiefs had a pair of controversial calls go their way. Afterward, Texans edge-rusher Will Anderson Jr. said the Texans "knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game."

    Two years ago, Mahomes baited Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai into an unnecessary roughness penalty that put the Chiefs in position for a game-winning field goal at the end of the AFC Championship Game. He did the same against the Texans this year, although he later conceded that he "probably did too much" to exaggerate the contact.

    In 20 playoff games, Mahomes has drawn eight roughing-the-passer calls, according to NFLPenalties.com. No other active quarterback has more than two. He finished second in the regular season this year with six roughing-the-passer calls, trailing only Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields.

    The Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII after a ticky-tack holding call allowed the Chiefs to drain the clock late in the fourth quarter. They have to go into this year's Super Bowl assuming they won't get the benefit of the doubt from the officiating crew, even if there's no hard data to prove that referees tend to favor the Chiefs.

    Mahomes has proved time and again that he'll do anything to will his team to victory, including drawing questionable flags. Expect at least one more on Sunday.

    Verdict: Is the sky blue?

Will a Soul-Crushing Special Teams Mistake Swing The Game?

14 of 14

    Yes: -260
    No: +190

    Most of the attention in this year's Super Bowl will revolve around how Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo plan to stifle Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, respectively. Don't underrate the impact that a special teams gaffe could have on the game, though.

    After the Chiefs took a 28-27 lead in Super Bowl LVII early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles went three-and-out. Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney reeled off a Super Bowl-record 65-yard punt return, and the rest was history.

    That wasn't the only critical Super Bowl mistake that the Eagles have made on special teams in recent years. Early in their 41-33 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, then-rookie kicker Jake Elliott missed an extra point, which later caused the Eagles to go point-chasing on two-point conversions. (They didn't convert that, either.)

    Elliott has largely been reliable for the Eagles since then. He drilled a league-high 51 extra points in 2022, and he went 12-of-14 on 50-plus-yard field goals between the 2022 and 2023 seasons. However, he's hit only 77.8 percent of his 36 field-goal attempts this year, including a horrific 1-of-7 from deep. He's also already missed three extra points (on 12 attempts) and a 54-yard field goal in the playoffs.

    With that said, the Eagles' kickoff coverage has come up big in the playoffs this year. They forced a fumble on the opening kickoff against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. They also forced one on a kickoff against the Washington Commanders late in the first half of the NFC Championship Game that gave them some much-needed breathing room.

    The Eagles need to execute in all three phases of the game to beat the Chiefs on Sunday. Given their recent history, don't be surprised if a special teams gaffe either trips them up or swings the game in their favor.

    Verdict: It's happening.
