Out of all the things you can bet on at a legal sportsbook, this has got to be the most outlandish.
Yes, there are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce props that are perhaps more cringy.
But this prop in particular from FanDuel in Ontario is completely contingent on mother nature — and nothing else.
You can bet on what ranges the temperature at kickoff will be in Las Vegas when 49ers vs. Chiefs begins at 3:30 p.m. local time.
Super Bowl Temperature Odds at Kick Off
| Temperature | Odds |
|---|---|
| 51.8 to 60.7 F | +110 |
| 60.8 to 68 F | +140 |
| 68.1F or above | +750 |
| 42.8 to 50 F | +750 |
| 32 to 42.8F | +3500 |
These odds are at FanDuel and are only available to Canadian residents located in Ontario. No legal American sportsbook will host a similar prop.
As of Tuesday night, the expected forecast in Las Vegas on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 11 is expected to be between roughly 45 to 54 degrees, according to Accuweather and the Weather Channel. Neither service has a specific hourly forecast this far in advance.
For what it's worth, neither service have the same predictions for weather that particular day. Accuweather judges the day as having a high of 63 and low of 39. Weather.com, meanwhile, has a forecast of a high of 54 and a low of 37.
The forecast is taken from Harry Reid International Airport, located roughly 3.7 miles away from where the game will be played.
Weather in Las Vegas gets precipitously colder after the sun goes down, as does every other desert city. This game will kickoff at least an hour before sunset.
Of course, the plus-money across the market is indicative of how difficult it is to handicap weather. The game is a week and a half away. Often, even weather forecasts for games happening that same weekend are incorrect. Bettors handicap expected wind, snow or sleet — and often, they're incorrect.
The market, by the way, is in Celcius. The figures above have been converted to Fahrenheit.
