Super Bowl 56 Cross-Sport Prop Bets: Take Rahm's Score Over Mixon's Yards

The entire sports world will be focused on Super Bowl 56 this weekend, but there are still plenty of other sports that will be continuing play.

Does betting on the national anthem not do it for you? Do you use the halftime show as a chance to take a bathroom break and grab some extra food? Will you be watching the NBA or the PGA Tour as a warm-up to the Super Bowl?

If you said yes to any of those questions, then wagering on available cross-sport betting props may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Online sportsbook BetOnline Sportsbook has a wide-ranging list of available betting props that combine the Super Bowl with other events in the sports betting world.

Let’s look at some of those opportunities.

Best Super Bowl 56 Cross-Sport Bet: UFC 271

As an appetizer to the Super Bowl, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting and we get UFC 271 in Houston, Texas, with the main event being a middleweight title rematch between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker. While that bout garners much of the attention, the cross-sport prop I'm looking at highlights the co-main event.

It is the big boys, the heavyweights that will set the stage for the main event. Knockout artists Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa will be colliding. Lewis has knockout king tattooed to his chest and rightfully so as he has the most knockouts in UFC history with 13. Tuivasa, the eight-year-younger fighter, has closed the lights on six of his UFC foes and could inch closer to Lewis for that record.

The prop, which will be higher, shortest touchdown at SB 56 or total rounds in Lewis vs Tuivasa. I like the shortest touchdown to be higher than total rounds. These heavyweights are going to bang and it could take less than a round. I also used our Super Bowl Betting Database to help with me capping this prop. There has been at least one one-yard touchdown in five of the last six Super Bowl's so it could be a push but I'm confident the UFC fight will be short-lived, upside with a win, downside with a push.

Super Bowl 56 Cross-Sport Bets: NBA

Once the Super Bowl wraps up, football bettors will migrate en masse to the NBA and college basketball. Well, why not get a start with your NBA betting season by tying it into a bet on the Super Bowl?

As you can see in our Super Bowl Mega Database, the first quarter tends to be quite slow in terms of getting points on the board. So, I like the minutes to go by before the first score to be higher than Jaylen Brown’s rebounds vs Atlanta, since he’s averaging 6.5 boards per game and I foresee a defensive battle early in SB 56.

Super Bowl 56 Cross-Sport Bets: NHL

Don’t forget about the NHL! Here are some available cross-sport prop bets with NHL games that are set to take place on Super Bowl Sunday:

This could be the best Super Bowl 56 cross-sport prop bet you will find. A total slam dunk – wait, that was the section above. Ummm, a total slapshot? Sure, let’s go with that. The shortest rendition of the national anthem at the Super Bowl over the last nine years was Demi Lovato’s in 2020 at one minute 49 seconds, or 109 seconds total.

The Calgary Flames currently have 52 points through 42 games just past the halfway mark of the NHL season. The Flames have not surpassed 109 points in the regular season since racking up 117 en route to winning the Stanley Cup in 1988-89 – before I was born!

The length of the national anthem in total seconds will be more than the Flames’ regular-season point total – bank it, lock of the century!

What Is A Cross-Sport Prop For Super Bowl 56?

Since the Super Bowl is arguably the pinnacle of competitive sports in North America, sportsbooks naturally like to pair up this betting event with other sporting events/results. The odds listed are similar to any other kind of prop bet; the only difference is you’ll have to pay attention to more than one event to find out if the bet was graded a winner.

Here is how a Super Bowl 56 cross-sport prop should look at an online sportsbook:

In this example, both options have the same payout. These are listed as American odds and each has a minus sign (-) in front of it. This indicates how much a bettor would have to wager to make $100 in profit. If there was a plus sign in front of the odds (+), that’s how much you’d win if you bet $100.

So, if you think the number of seconds it takes for the singing of the national anthem will be more than the total regular-season points for the Calgary Flames, you would take the anthem option for the prop. If it’s a successful bet, and you bet $115 on it, you’d get $215 in return. Your original $115 bet is returned along with $100 in profit.

If these odds aren’t making sense or you’re having difficulty getting a result, try our sports betting odds calculator to help add up the odds and potential payouts.
