Every year when the Super Bowl rolls around, you hear talk of exotic and novelty props that are outside of the normal prop bets in a football game. Some of these can include betting on what the first commercial will be after kickoff or who the MVP winner will thank first in their post-game speech. There are also Super Bowl entertainment props that revolve around the National Anthem or Super Bowl Halftime Show. Usher is headlining the latter and you can make 2024 Super Bowl prop bets on what his first song will be.
Usher’s halftime show is being billed as “30 Years in the Making”, so there’s no shortage of song selections from the last three decades. He’s also had nine No. 1 singles including “Yeah”, “My Boo” and “OMG”. Even the most diehard Usher fans could be stumped as to what he’ll lead off with, so having Super Bowl props advice could be beneficial. Before betting any NFL props for Super Bowl 58, you need to see the best 2024 Super Bowl prop picks from SportsLine’s R.J. White.

2024 Super Bowl coin toss props
No prop bet is more of a 50/50 proposition than the flip of a coin, but the results haven’t been 50/50 historically. Tails has come up 30 times over 57 previous games, at a rate of 53%. Additionally, recent results also favor tails as it has come up in seven of the last 10 Super Bowls, including the Chiefs’ victory last year.
White also brings up that the NFL uses a commemorative coin that isn’t perfectly weighted on each side. However minor of a role that plays on which side comes up is still a role nonetheless. Thus, White won’t stray away from history and backs the side which has prevailed more often than not.
“So I’m on board backing the side that has come in more often long-term in case we get to 1,000 Super Bowl coin flips and Tails has maintained its slight edge over Heads,” White told SportsLine. See White’s Super Bowl coin toss prop play here since he’s banking on a recent coin toss trend.

Reba McEntire National Anthem props for Super Bowl LVIII
Reba is a country music icon who broke into the industry nearly 50 years ago and she’s been asked to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 58. McEntire has had over 100 singles hit the Billboard Country charts and the “Queen of Country” has sold over 75 million records worldwide. However, now she’ll be performing in front of the largest audience of her career with over 70,000 people expected at Allegiant Stadium and over 100 million more watching at home.
