The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of the NFL season and the sports betting calendar. Each year, millions of fans worldwide flex their gambling muscles by wagering on the NFL's illustrious main event. And this year could be the biggest year yet.
The American Gaming Association expects $1.39 billion to be wagered at legal sportsbooks on Super Bowl 59 between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, up $140 million from last year's $1.25 billion.
With sports gambling legal in 38 states (and DC), it's not necessary to make a pilgrimage to Las Vegas to place your bets on the big game, gamers from all over the US are getting in on the big event and could change the narrative on which state is king (or should I say Emperor) of Super Bowl betting.

Empire State of Mind
Las Vegas may still be the Mecca of sports gambling in the US, but it will lose its title as the home for Super Bowl wagering this year. The AGA expects Nevada's Super Bowl handle to be an impressive $170 million but New York is expected to exceed that number with $183 million in Super Bowl bets. Officially taking the crown from Vegas as the home of Super Bowl betting.
Not that such a development should shock those in the industry, the Empire State has seen over $2 billion in sports wagers monthly since September 2024 while Nevada hasn't seen a monthly handle exceed $837 million in 2024.

When the Eagles and Chiefs met in Super Bowl 57 the score ended in a 38-35 nail-bitter, easily going OVER the total of 51 points. The public and sharps believe we'll see much of the same for Super Bowl 59 with OVER 48.5 points netting 70% of all bets and 64% of the handle.
Per BetMGM, the most bet Super Bowl 59 player prop is OVER 52.5 receiving yards for Dallas Goedert with 99% of the money. The Eagles' tight end has OVER 52.5 receiving yards in back-to-back playoff games and three times in his last four games, in Super Bowl 59 he'll face a Chiefs' defense that has allowed the fourth-most average yards per reception against tight ends.
For the niche prop bettors out there, 35% of the money for Gatorade color props is on "yellow/green/lime". The Eagles dumped yellow/green/lime Gatorade on coach Nick Sirianni when they won the NFC championship game.
