Best Michigan betting sites for Super Bowl betting

Betting on the Super Bowl is easy with one of the top sports betting apps in Michigan. You can stay glued to the game while checking the action on your phone and you can also get access to some Super Bowl bonuses & promos right from the app. Below find our picks for the top Super Bowl betting apps and sites in MI.

Caesars Sportsbook

Caesars Sportsbook is a favorite pick for football bettors thanks to its comprehensive coverage of the NFL market. Caesars offers multiple Super Bowl futures all season long as well, letting you bet on the winner, the two teams who will make it, or the division from which the champion will emerge. Other highlights at Caesars include:

• Super Bowl drawings for trips to watch parties at Caesars properties and tickets to the Big Game
• Frequent parlay boosts and promos for NFL and Super Bowl betting
• Plenty of Super Bowl props and promos

BetMGM Sportsbook

Certain names just spring to mind when it comes to gaming, and MGM is a member of that shortlist. The BetMGM Sportsbook platform has quickly become a go-to destination for scores of sports bettors in Michigan, who will find:

• Competitive lines for all Detroit Lions and NFL games
• Huge selection of NFL props, alternate lines, and other betting options
• Innovative features and ongoing incentives for users, especially for the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl

BetRivers Sportsbook

BetRivers Sportsbook is another top choice for all sports, but especially for the NFL where BetRivers is strong on player props and futures with “House Specials” featuring boosted odds. When it comes to betting on the Big Game, at BetRivers you’ll find:

• All of the Super Bowl wagers and props you can imagine
• Industry-leading live betting platform (FlashBet) and huge Super Bowl promos and contests
• Large library of NFL prop bets

FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel Sportsbook is another DFS giant that has taken the same tenets that made it a hit on that front and applied them to sports betting. The result is a top-notch platform that has garnered rave reviews from users.

• Live betting on the Super Bowl
• Futures markets for NFL betting and Detroit Lions betting
• User-friendly platform with fantastic bonus opportunities

FanDuel has crushed it in every sports betting market thus far, and there’s nothing to suggest the same won’t happen here in Michigan.

Fanatics Sportsbook

The Fanatics Sportsbook likewise is a top choice for NFL betting throughout the year as well as for the Super Bowl. Be aware that the site is app-only, meaning it is only available via your mobile device and not over a web browser. Super Bowl-related features at Fanatics include:

• Year-round NFL Championship futures where you can bet on the next Super Bowl champ
• Plenty of player, team, and game props for the Big Game
• FanCash rewards for every bet you place which can be redeemed for bonus bets or official NFL merchandise in the Fanatics Store

Top Super Bowl betting bonuses and promotions at MI sportsbooks

All the sites discussed above and other Michigan Super Bowl betting sites ramp up the bonuses and promos once the Big Game arrives. These can include:

• Bigger and better welcome offers and bonuses — All MI sports betting sites always have welcome offers for new sign-ups (see above), but most will add something extra once the NFL playoffs start and Super Bowl draws nearer.
• Alternate lines and props — Most sites offer alternate moneyline, spread, and totals lines throughout the NFL season, plus a variety of team, player, and game props for every game. For the Super Bowl, these alternate ways of betting expand greatly with literally hundreds of options made available. If you can imagine the bet or prop, you can probably find it or something close to it.
• Profit boosts, odds boosts, parlay boosts — Michigan sportsbooks frequently will add a number of “boosts” to Super Bowl bets, especially to same game parlays. Be certain before placing a SGP or any Super Bowl wager to check the promotions tab for available boosts that can increase your payout should you win.
• “No sweat” or second chance bets — These promos are popular all year, inviting users to wager on a particular game and if they lose receive their bet amount back as a bonus bet. With the Super Bowl, this type of “no sweat” bet promo is a popular one among the sites and worth looking for when placing a wager.
• Free pools, contests, challenges — Sportsbooks often will offer free-to-enter contests and pools connected to the Super Bowl and other major sporting events, so keep at eye out for those as well. For the Super Bowl, prop bet challenges are common, as are squares contests (discussed below), special drawings, and giveaways.

Why do lines change in Super Bowl betting?

After the lines for the Super Bowl are released, the betting public gets its chance to weigh in. That activity can lead to some movement in the numbers after the initial release. So why does that occur? Sportsbooks will respond to market demand by adjusting the numbers. If lots of bets come in on one side while the other direction sees little action, the book will adjust to make the opposite bet more appealing.

Although attracting even amounts of action on both sides likely won’t happen when there’s a big rush in one direction, sportsbooks will still do their best to level it out. This helps to limit the liability on the end of the operator in the event that the initial flood of bets is on the money.

Let’s look back at Super Bowl 58. When the lines opened, at many sites they looked something like this:

• Kansas City Chiefs  +110
• San Francisco 49ers  -125

Let’s say that during the days leading up to the game more money came in on the Chiefs than the 49ers. A sportsbook could respond by making the lines that much tighter.

• Kansas City Chiefs  +100
• San Francisco 49ers  -110

On spreads and totals, the same thing happens. If the 49ers opens up as a 2.5-point favorite and a lot of folks go with the 49ers minus the points, the spread could rise to 4 or 5 points even higher. The same goes for bets on the total or over-under. If there’s a lot of betting on one side, the sportsbook might shift the line accordingly.

The odds attached to both the spread and total will adjust based on market action even if the released numbers don’t move, so keep that in mind. Also, always remember to shop around to find the best prices.

How to bet on Super Bowl futures

A Super Bowl futures bet allows you to weigh in on which team you think will win the next edition at virtually any time. Once the current season’s title tilt is in the books, the sites will release the lines on who will win next year.

There will be futures available for each NFL team. Typically, the teams are descending order with the favorites on top and longshots on the bottom. Here’s what the Super Bowl futures were looking like at several sportsbooks leading up to the 2024-25 season:

• Kansas City Chiefs +600
• San Francisco 49ers +650
• Baltimore Ravens +1000
• Detroit Lions +1200
• Cincinnati Bengals +1400

Now let’s say that after you give the board the once-over, you walk away feeling like it’ll be the Lions hoisting the Lombardi Trophy next time around. You decide to place a $100 bet while taking the long-range view.

The season plays out, and it turns out you were right on. Detroit wins the Super Bowl, and you have yourself a winning ticket. That $100 initial bet returns you a total of $1,300 — the amount of your wager ($100) plus a staggering profit of $1,200.

As it happened, the Lions got out to a hot start and quickly became a betting favorite as the year progressed. By December, the Lions Super Bowl odds had dropped all of the way to the +250 range at most sites, meaning a $100 winning wager would only return $250.

The Super Bowl futures market can be lucrative. There are bettors who place their wagers soon after the futures bets are released, and others who stay engaged throughout the year to find appealing targets as they come up. Super Bowl futures will move based on betting action, so keep that in mind. Once again, you can always shop around to find the best prices.

Most popular Super Bowl bets

You can just pick the winner of the Super Bowl and call it a day, but you’d be missing out by doing so. There are a number of ways to get involved with the biggest sports betting event of the year. Here’s a look at the most popular:

• Super Bowl moneyline bets — This is a simple bet in which you are just picking the winner of the game. The favorite will have negative odds, while they are positive on the underdog side. The closer the two numbers are to one another, then the tighter the game sets up to be.
• Super Bowl point spread bets — The spread is basically an estimated margin of victory that needs to be factored into the equation. You can take the favorite minus the points, or go with the underdog plus the points. Whichever way you go, that spread has to be covered at the end result of the game.
• Super Bowl totals bets — This “over-under” wager is a bet on the total combined points scored in the contest by the two teams. The sites set the benchmark with an estimated number, and bettors then make their choice based on that projected total.

There are many other ways to bet on the Super Bowl, too, as discussed below.

Super Bowl same-game parlays

A same-game parlay — also called a single-game parlay — lets you place multiple bets from one game into a parlay.

The Super Bowl, given that it is the only major event going on in sports that particular Sunday night in February, is an opportunity rife with possibilities for those single-game combinations.

At DraftKings, to use one example, click on one of the teams from this game when the Super Bowl appears, and click the “same game parlay” option near the top, under team names. Many bets will appear, and a large number of them would otherwise not be on the normal betting menu.

One word of caution, from our friends over at The Lines:

“The biggest problem with same game parlays is there’s almost no way to know the true level of correlation, and therefore the true odds, of a same-game parlay hitting.

Take into consideration using different apps with a same game parlay to see which one gives the best lines available.

Super Bowl prop bets

Prop bets are side bets on things that might happen during the game or at its completion. Sportsbooks will offer hundreds of Super Bowl prop bets for bettors to consider, such as:

• Player to score the first TD in the game
• Yards the quarterback throws in a game
• Whether the defense will score a TD
• If a defensive lineman will score a TD
• … and so on.

There are also hundreds of “exotic” prop bets that exist for this special game. The opening prop bet for the Super Bowl is the coin toss. For instance, sometimes at the Super Bowl you’ll see the lines for both heads and tails at -103 or thereabouts. You could wager on the first play being a run or a pass. There can be prop bets for just about anything that could happen during the Super Bowl, from start to finish. including halftime, postgame and even the famed commercials.

Remember, though, that regulated US sportsbooks have never offered any Super Bowl bet related to the halftime show, commercials, or announcers. The Michigan Gaming Control Board has the final say on what an online book is allowed to have on its board.

Live betting the Super Bowl

These are wagers you can place in real time as the action plays out on the field. The markets move fast, so a mobile app is about the only way to truly stay on top of things. Offerings will vary based on what’s going on in the game, but here’s a sample:

• What will be the outcome of the Chiefs’ next drive — FG/TD/punt/TO/downs?
• Will this upcoming field goal be made — yes/no?

Those are just two of any number of examples. Markets in the game include the standards (think real-time moneylines, up-to-the-second point spreads and game totals, and other types of wagers you could make prior to kickoff) along with some others featured above.

In addition, markets such as the next touchdown scorer, exact quarter scores and more may also be available. The size and availability of live Super Bowl betting options are both dependent on both the sportsbook providing the wagers and the state gaming board’s approval of such betting markets.

Super Bowl MVP betting

One of the biggest points of speculation in the run-up to the Super Bowl is on which player will be named MVP. Yep, you can bet on that, too.

After the matchup is official, lines will be released on the individual players in the running for the award. Typically, the quarterbacks on the respective teams will be the favorites, followed by key skill position players and impact defenders. The award has gone to a quarterback 31 times in the history of the Super Bowl, and in 12 of the past 20 years. Over the past decade, two linebackers and two wide receiver have been thrown into the mix.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you automatically have to bet on one of the signal-callers. You can spread it out a bit and make multiple picks, or just roll with a single selection. The Super Bowl is exceptionally entertaining as it is, but having a little stake in the outcome can make it even better. Betting on the MVP is one of the best ways to stay engaged throughout the game.

Super Bowl betting tips

The Super Bowl comes our way just once a year, and everyone has an opinion on how it will shake out. As the game approaches and you’re trying to make sense of it all, here are some tips you can use to your advantage.

• Shop for the best prices: Although many sportsbook operators will offer similar lines, that doesn’t mean they’ll all be exactly alike. You might be able to find better prices elsewhere on certain bets, and there’s only one way to find out. Take the time to go line shopping at multiple sportsbooks to see what the market has to offer.
• Keep your prop bets manageable: There are hundreds of prop bets available on the Super Bowl. It can be tough just navigating through them all, so imagine what it would be like trying to bet on every one. Taking a selective approach based on your available time can be a wise choice, and it also allows you to better focus your research efforts.
• Trust your instincts: It can be tough to go against the crowd, but remember to stick to your guns. If you’ve handicapped the game and digested the opinions of sources you trust and still see the game playing out differently than most, then bet in that direction. A wrong bet on a confident choice is nothing to hang your head over, but switching sides when your instincts tell you otherwise can lead to regret.

Other Super Bowl contest options

In order to get a little fix on Super Bowl betting without having to place bets on the game or prop markets, you can also enter group contests or pools for fun. Super Bowl squares makes for a low-stress, informal way to enjoy the game.

Someone creates a 10-by-10 grid (so, 100 total squares). The squares will be empty. You pay for however many squares you want (prices varying, of course). Once you pay for your squares, you write your name randomly into empty squares of your choosing. After all squares are occupied, the numbers 0 through 9 will be drawn randomly and assigned to the rows and columns.

What those numbers represent is the last digit in a team’s score. So, if you have a square that has Team A – 3 and Team B – 6, you would win if those numbers are the score at the end of one of the quarters of the Super Bowl. So if Team A leads Team B 13-6 at halftime, you would win for that quarter. Generally, each quarter pays out 25% of the total money collected.

We’ve got more info on Super Bowl squares if you’re interested.

Can I watch this year’s Super Bowl on a streaming device?

The short answer here is yes. It stands to reason that any online streaming platform you subscribe to that includes a main FOX channel will ensure that Super Bowl 59 will be available to you.

Have the Detroit Lions ever made it to the Super Bowl?

In the early days of the NFL, the Detroit Lions franchise found some success. The team took down the NFL championship in 1935, and followed that up with an impressive run in the 1950s, winning another three crowns.

Since the team’s last NFL title in 1957, there have been just 12 playoff appearances for the Lions. In 11 of those years, the club lost its first playoff game. The biggest success for Detroit over that span came in 1991. The squad pounded the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional playoffs to advance to the NFC championship game against Washington.

Alas, Washington had Detroit’s number that day, winning by a convincing score of 41-10. Although franchise legend Barry Sanders helped push the Lions to the playoffs four more times during the 1990s, the team was one and done in the wild card round thereafter.

Then came last year, when the Lions broke through to win the NFC North, capture two playoff games, and enjoy a lead in the NFC Championship game before falling to the San Francisco 49ers. After coming so close to making a first ever Super Bowl, many bettors are energized to bet on the Lions to win it all this time around.

Biggest upsets in Super Bowl history

During the NFL regular season, there can be upsets each and every week. Although two teams may appear to be a mismatch on paper, the reality is that anything can happen once they step on the field.

It’s the same thing with the Super Bowl, as there have been a number of surprising results through the years. Here’s a look back at three of the biggest upsets.

1. Super Bowl III: New York Jets 16, Baltimore Colts 7: The NFL’s Colts were expected to have little trouble with the Jets of the AFL, but that proved not to be the case. Joe Namath led the way as New York pulled off what still resonates as one of the biggest upsets in football history.
2. Super Bowl XXXVI: New England Patriots 20, St. Louis Rams 17: This was the beginning of the Patriots dynasty, but few saw it coming. The high-powered Rams were huge favorites heading into the game, but New England put the capper on a magical season with a stunning win on a field goal in the final seconds.
3. Super Bowl XLII: New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14: The Patriots were undefeated in the regular season and playoffs, and the club was about to be crowned as perhaps the best team of all time. Then the New York Giants got in the way, as Eli Manning led the team to a shocking win.
