Is Scorigami (+2800) a Smart Super Bowl Play?

Breaking Down the Odds of Betting on a Unique Final Score

Will Super Bowl LIX end in a Scorigami? Before we dive into the odds, let's break down what exactly that means.

A Scorigami is a unique final score that has never happened before in the history of a sport or league.

For example, a 36-12 final would be a Scorigami since it’s never been recorded in NFL history, as tracked by Jon Bois, the creator of the concept. In contrast, a 17-14 final is very common and has happened over 200 times — making it far from a Scorigami.

So, back to the big question: Will Super Bowl LIX deliver a Scorigami? BetMGM lets you wager on it at enticing odds of +2800.

But unless you’re just tossing in a fun bet for the price of a cup of coffee to spark a sweat at your Super Bowl party, I wouldn’t recommend it. Here's why:
With the current total sitting at 49 points on BetMGM, the chances for a Scorigami are slim. There are only a few viable scoring combinations near that number.

One possibility is 25-18, but that only adds up to 43 points, well below the projected total. Another option is 37-11, but good luck getting one team to score exactly 11 points. That would involve a quirky combination of field goals, missed extra points, or a safety. In fact, only 49 games in NFL history have ended with one team scoring 11.

There is also the fact that only three Super Bowls have landed on a Scorigami and oddly enough, they’ve all involved the Denver Broncos: Super Bowl XXI (1987): Giants 39 - Broncos 20, Super Bowl XXIV (1990): 49ers 55 - Broncos 10, Super Bowl XLVIII (2014): Seahawks 43 - Broncos 8.

Your best bet? Skip the Scorigami and put your money on other fun wagers like the Gatorade bath color or the first halftime song. The odds of a Scorigami are slim to none!
