Bill Belichick's shirt, Trump's tweets: 10 strange prop bets for Super Bowl



Here are some of the weirdest prop bets for Super Bowl LII, courtesy of online sportsbook Bovada LV.

While the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles have been preparing for Super Bowl LII on Sunday, oddsmakers have been racking their brains to capitalize on one of the game's annual traditions: Proposition bets.

While the craziest prop bets aren't offered in Las Vegas, where gambling laws require sportsbooks to stick to in-game action, they're out there β€” and they seem to get a bit stranger every year.
