The Big Game is approaching with Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, 2025 between the Philadelphia Eagles and 2-time defending champions Kansas City Chiefs. Record betting is expected again, but this year’s Super Bowl will make more history with U.S. President Donald Trump being the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
So beyond the spread, total and moneyline wagers on Super Bowl LIX, there are pleny of ways to wager on the cross-pollination of politics and football.
Prop bets at BetOnline.ag are thousands deep for the big game, and there are nearly 30 politics/Trump specific props surrounding the POTUS' attendance, as well as his pregame interview with FOX.
Only select sportsbooks like BetOnline are offering Super Bowl prop bet markets on Trump. That’s because regulated U.S. sportsbooks generally avoid novelty markets that can be predetermined or influenced by individuals outside of the game.
Eagles-Chiefs Picks and Props
Fans wondering who president Trump might pick to win the game may recall the president’s past disdain for the Eagles, who skipped a White House visit in 2018 during Trump’s presidency.
So, the odds favor Trump picking the Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) as the slight favorite to win Super Bowl LIX (if he makes a pick during interview). But the Philadelphia Eagles are taking more moneyline bets to win the game, and star runnning back Saquon Barkley has taken the most bets to be Super Bowl LIX Most Valuable Player.

A live Super Bowl crowd isn’t your typical NFL one. It skews to those with a lot more money and more business oriented since a lot of sponsors show up. Fans for sure as well but they pay a pretty hefty price.
He’s doing it to steal Taylor Swift’s spotlight. She’s gonna be pissed when she’s ignored. He is doing the country a great service by keeping her stupid face off the TV every 3rd down.
Swift has bigger problems at the moment thanks to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds...
Chances are the network will mute the cheers. Trump attended a Pittsburgh Steeler game last year. If you watched it on TV, you would barely be aware that he was there. People who I know who were there live, said the cheers for Trump were epic and loud.
What a change
What’s a “prop” and why should I care?
I sure hope he has a Class A security head.
If it was me, I’d be sleepless.
We have the working class and the rich WHO EARNED THEIR MONEY. Our people will be there cheering. See tag:
