Matthew Stafford and the Super Bowl -- two things we're not used to seeing in the same sentence.
Welcome to the future!
No, Stafford won't be playing in the Super Bowl anytime soon, not if he stays in Detroit, at least. But you can still put some money on Stafford to play a role in Super Bowl LV next month.
Of course, you can also put some money on an appearance by Michael Jackson, so buyer beware.
In the first round of Super Bowl prop bets released Tuesday by SportsBetting.ag, Stafford was listed alongside the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon as potential actors in a new Doritos commercial.
See, Doritos is premiering an ad for their new 3D Crunch line -- "one of the most anticipated Frito-Lay product launches in memory," according to a press release -- which will feature Jimmy Kimmel, Mindy Kaling and ... a mystery man known as #FlatMatthew.
Here's a sneak preview:
Could that mysterious Matthew be the Lions quarterback? He's tied with actor Matthew Broderick for the second best odds (+350) to portray #FlatMatthew, behind McConaughey and Damon at +150. The full list of odds is below:
Matthew McConaughey +150
Matt Damon +150
Matthew Broderick +350
Matthew Stafford +350
Matt Dillon +500
Matt LeBlanc +800
Matthew Perry +1000
So there you go: a Matthew Stafford Super Bowl prop bet. Who would've thought?
And yes, you can also place a bet on Michael Jackson's hologram performing alongside The Weeknd during the halftime show, and all sorts of other crazy wagers right here.
