What better way to recap Super Bowl 59 than by grading our props sheet game that many of you printed out and played?

Below are all the official results, along with some commentary.

Let's dig in …

Super Bowl 59 Prop Sheet Answers

1. Will Jon Batiste's national anthem be OVER or UNDER 120.5 seconds? UNDER*

Lol, I can't even get past literally the first question without a CONTROVERSY. This line was so perfect that some books (BetMGM) graded it as UNDER while other books (offshores) graded it as OVER.

Unfortunately for OVER betters, the current tariffs don't allow us to acknowledge rulings from foreign soil. The UNDER stands.

2. Which iconic landmark or cultural touchstone from New Orleans will be shown first on the broadcast? MISSISSIPPI RIVER STEAMBOAT.

This one took forever to hit, but the broadcast team gave us some sweet, sweet b-roll of the steamboat on the Mississippi River coming out of halftime. Bourbon Street takes a huge L.

3. Will Drew Brees be shown on the broadcast? NO

Wow, I thought for sure we'd get a shot of the New Orleans golden boy, but no dice.

4. Will the coin toss come up heads or tails? TAILS

They say tails never fails. They are correct. Better luck next year, heads heads.

5. Who will be the first player to score a TD? Jalen Hurts

This was almost Jahan Dotson, which would have been hilarious. Instead, he was ruled down at the one and the Eagles did what they do best–push Jalen's tushy into the paint.

6. Who will have more receiving yards: Travis Kelce or A.J. Brown? A.J. Brown

This is way closer than you'd assume, but Kelce made this a sweat late in the game. He finished with 39 yards to Brown's 43 yards. A "worthy" head-to-head battle, I'd say.

7. Who will score more fantasy points: Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts? Jalen Hurts

This was also much closer than the game would suggest thanks to Mahomes' garbage time bomb to Worthy. He finished with 24.78 points, but Hurts edged him out with 29.04. 

8. Will Saquon Barkley have a rush that goes for more than 30 yards? NO.

I think if you told anyone that the Eagles would boat race the Chiefs 40-22, they would have bet on Barkley ripping off a big run, scoring a TD, and clearing 100 scrimmage yards. And yet none of those things came true.

Still, I'd say Barkley had a nice birthday.

9. Will a wrong call go in the Chiefs favor? YES

I honestly put this in as a joke, but then we included it in the official props contest.

Of course, we barely made it a few minutes into the game without the refs negating an A.J. Brown catch with an absurd offensive pass interference call. Tom Brady, the FOX referee liaison (I honestly don't know what they are called), and every non-Chiefs backer in the world all agreed.

9. Will any player attempt a hurdle during the game? NO.

Gravity wins this round! I want a rematch next year, though.

10. Will A.J. Brown be caught reading a self-help book on the sideline? YES!

I jokingly said this in the preview piece for this prop sheet:

I can picture it now … A.J. makes a huge play for a TD and heads back to the bench to pull out his "Inner Excellence" book, winks at the camera, and starts flipping through the pages.

And then that's exactly what happened. I kid you not. Mad respect to AJB for committing to the bit and executing the perfect callback.

11. What will be the official distance of the longest-made field goal by either team? 50 YARDS.

Jake Elliott was busy on Sunday drilling four FGs, the longest of which went for a clean 50 yards.

12. Will Kendrick Lamar bring out a surprise guest? YES

Not only did the halftime show open up with Samuel L. Jackson as "Uncle Sam," but it also featured a surprise cameo from tennis legend (and Drake's ex-girlfriend), Serena Williams.

In a very clever bit, Serena did a crip walk during “Not Like Us”—a Drake diss track.

 

13. Will a commercial feature a talking animal? YES

14. Will Taylor Swift be shown giving someone a hug? NO

This prop was heavily correlated with the Chiefs winning the game, or at least keeping it close enough to give Taylor something worth hugging a neighbor for.

That, of course, never happened.

Instead, she was booed whenever she was shown on the jumbotron at the Superdome.

15. Will Jason Kelce chug a beer on camera at some point during the broadcast? NO.

We didn't get any shots of Jason Kelce, but I sure as hell bet you he pounded some beers after this game to drown the sorrows of losing a Super Bowl, retiring, and watching his old team win a Super Bowl.

16. Who will win the game? EAGLES.

Glad we could clear that up for everyone.

17. Who will win Super Bowl MVP? HURTS.

The committee desperately wanted to give it to Barkley, but he didn't find the endzone for them.

18. What color will the Gatorade poured on the winning coach be? YELLOW.

The two-year Purple streak has been broken:
