GREEN MAG

Oddsmakers were rooting for a boring, low-scoring game and that's pretty much what they got, as many a same-game parlay came up short without Jaxson Smith-Njigba or Kenneth Walker III finding the end zone.

There were thousands of ways to bet on the big game, but here are five interesting prop bets that cashed:

Kenneth Walker III wins Super Bowl LX MVP (+550)

Walker carried the load for the Seahawks, racking up 135 yards on 27 carries, and 20 yards receiving. He was Seattle's most consistent weapon on a night where start WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba had only four catches for 27 yards, even though Walker III didn't find the end zone.

Walker had the third-most wagers and total dollars wagered at BetMGM to win the award, but wasn't among the top five liabilities because of the short price.

Walker is the first running back to win a Super Bowl MVP since Denver Broncos RB Terrell Davis back in Super Bowl XXXII.

Kenneth Walker III over 70.5 rushing yards

Walker's rushing yardage prop was pounded by both sharp bettors early and public bettors as the days leading up to the Super Bowl went on. It opened at 78.5 at BetMGM and was bet down to 70.5 by kickoff, as 63% of bets and 77% of the total dollars wagered were on the under.

Walker went over that total in the second quarter, on his way to 135 yards rushing and the game's MVP.

Total punts over 7.5

Not a bet that was too high on the public's radar, but this one also cashed early on the way to a ridiclous15punts in the game. Seahawks punter Michael Dickson had a few beauties among his seven punts, downing three inside the 20-yard line. Patriots punter Bryce Baringer went over this number himself, punting eight times as a result of five New England three-and-outs (although Baringer didn't punt in the fourth quarter).

Mack Hollins over 25.5 receiving yards

This was a prop that moved significantly from an opening number of 30.5 receiving yards, all the way down to 25.5 off of sharp action at a few sportsbooks. Still, there was far more public money on the over, as 90% of bets nad 95% of the total dollars wagered were on the over.

Hollins ended up as New England's leading receiver, catching four passes for 78 yards and easily eclipsed this number.

Hunter Henry -6.5 receiving yards vs. Anthony Edwards points

Cross-sport props are always fun in the Super Bowl, and due to Edwards' subpar game with 23 points in 115-96 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon, Henry just needed 30 receiving yards to win this prop.

Henry finished with 31 receiving yards on three catches to eke out the cash.

Now, as theNew England Patriotsface off against theSeattle Seahawksin the2026 Super Bowl, each team is hoping to earn its place as the 60th name on the list of winners. Since the first Super Bowl in1967, the Patriots have won six titles, most recently in 2019, while the Seahawks have won only once, in 2014.

Here is a look back at the past winners, year by year.

Who won the 2025 Super Bowl last year?

Though the Chiefs were favored to win going into last year's Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles claimed a resounding 40-22 victory at the Superdome in New Orleans, denying the Chiefs what would have been a historic "three-peat."

It was the Eagles' second-everSuper Bowl win. The Chiefs, as defending champions, had been listed by sportsbooks as 1.5-pointfavorites. The Eagles had lost to the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, making the game a rematch between Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Along with 221 yards passing, Hurts led the team in rushing with 72 yards on the ground. Despite throwing one early interception, his performance earned himSuper Bowl MVPhonors.

Who won the 2024 Super Bowl?

The Kansas City Chiefs won their second consecutive title in 2024 after struggling against the San Francisco 49ers in the first half ofSuper Bowl LVIIIin Las Vegas.

The Chiefs were scoreless until a crucial 28-yard field goal by Harrison Butker finally put the Chiefs on the board, 10-3 athalftime. After some back and forth in the second half, the teams were tied at 19 at the end of regulation, and the game headed into overtime for only the second time in Super Bowl history.

The 49ers Jake Moody hit a 27-yard field goal in overtime to take a 22-19 lead. But Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs down the field, and with 13 seconds left in overtime, connected with receiverMecole Hardmanon a one-yard touchdown pass for the win.

"Really just the whole game, just our whole entire season, it was the defense keeping us in there, and the offense making plays when it counted," Mahomes said after the game.

• Team USA won a gold medal at the figure skating team event at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Feb. 8

• Ilia Malinin, Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea all contributed to the win

• The medal comes after Team USA's gold medal in the same event in 2022, which was marred by scandal

Gold looks good on Team USA!

The American figure skaters jumped, spun and backflipped their way to a gold medal in the figure skating team event at the2026 Winter Olympicson Sunday, Feb. 8 at the Milano Ice Skating Arena.

It was a group effort forIlia Malinin,Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea, who all contributed to Team USA's winning score of 68 via four events: ice dance, pair skating, women single skating and men single skating.

Team USA previously won the same event at Beijing in 2022 — but only after a scandal involving Russian skater Kamila Valieva, who tested positive during the Games for a banned substance. After a lengthy investigation, her team's first-place finish was downgraded, and the U.S.'s second-place finish was bumped up to first. They eventually received their gold medals in Paris in 2024.

On the first of the two-night final, Chock, 33, and Bates, 36, kicked things off with a bang, notching the top spot on the ice dance leaderboard with 133.23 points.

Kam, 21, and O'Shea, 34, kept things moving the next night, earning a seventh-place finish (and seven team points) with 135.36. The two were overcome with emotion following their performance, with O'Shea yelling out with joy and Kam fighting tears.

Glenn, 26, was next, scoring 138.62, enough to earn her a third-place finish and eight team points. The athlete was visibly disappointed as she sat amongst her teammates and heard her score read aloud.

"I feel guilty. My team has done so well and my performance was lackluster," she told reporters, including PEOPLE, after her skate. "I scored lower than my median in what they were counting on, and I placed lower than what would have been expected... I made a few too many mistakes."

All eyes were on Malinin, 21, known by fans as the "Quad God," heading into the men single skating round, as the U.S. and Japan were tied with 59 total team points each.

Though he stumbled toward the end of his routine, Mailin ultimately clinched the win for Team USA with help from his signature backflip, scoring 200.03.

"It's honestly just such an incredible, like raw feeling in this environment," he told reporters, including PEOPLE, after his qualifiers event on Feb. 7. "Once I do that backflip, everyone's like, screaming for joy and they're just out of control."

Liu — who came out of retirement in 2024 — contributed, too, notching a second-place finish in the women single skating qualifier.

The medal marked the second of the Games for the U.S., following skierBreezy Johnson's first-place finishin women's downhill.

"We are always excited to take [to the] Olympic ice," Chock said after her and Bates' ice dance free dance on Feb. 7. "We knew what we had to do when we stepped on the ice and were prepared to do it."

O'Shea, meanwhile joked at a press conference that his strategy heading onto the ice was simply "to skate well."

U.S. District Judge William Osteen rejected arguments by the College Democrats of North Carolina and some students that they were likely to win a recent lawsuit because decisions by GOP board members placed undue burdens on the right to vote.

The decision by Osteen — nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush — to deny a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order can be appealed.

Early in-person voting for the March 3 primary begins this coming Thursday. It features nomination races for U.S. Senate and House, the legislature and local elections.

Osteen also wrote that formally backing efforts to open the sites so close to voting could risk confusion.

Osteen's ruling marks a key decision on policy preferences by the State Board of Elections and elections boards in all 100 countiessince a state lawrecently shifted themfrom having Democratic majorities to Republican majorities.

The College Democrats of North Carolina — an arm of the state party — and four voters sued in late January accusing the state board and boards in Jackson and Guilford counties of violating the U.S. Constitution.

The lawsuit involves votes by the state board and the two county boards to not include early voting sites at Western Carolina University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University, also in Greensboro. A&T is the largest historically Black university in the country.

An early voting site at Western Carolina has operated regularly since 2016. Sites at the Greensboro campuses have been offered in recent presidential-year elections but not in midterm elections.

Voting sites are offered at college campuses elsewhere in the state. Same-day registration is available at early voting sites.

Without the sites, the lawsuit says, students will be forced to travel off-campus to vote, imposing time and money upon those least familiar with voting.

Lawyers for the boards defended the panels' actions, writing in legal briefs that there is no requirement boards must retain voting sites used in previous election cycles, and that site decisions were based on reasonable circumstances like parking access and past turnout.

The child, identified in the lawsuit as "Amalia," was released by immigration authorities underPresident Donald Trump's administrationafter her parents sued on Friday, Feb. 6. The parents, who also had been detained, were released as well. The suit had sought the release of all three of them.

The family was detained during a check-in with immigration authorities on Dec. 11 and held at a facility in Dilley, Texas, according to the lawsuit. Amalia was hospitalized from Jan. 18 to 28, and returned to the Dilley facility in the midst of ameasles outbreak, the lawsuit said.

After the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by federal immigration agents (ICE), communities across the U.S. are protesting against Trump's surge of immigration enforcement actions.

"Baby Amalia should never have been detained. She nearly died at Dilley," said Elora Mukherjee, an attorney for the family.

Mukherjee said hundreds of children and families detained at Dilley lack sufficient drinking water, healthy food, educational opportunities or proper medical care, and should be released.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on Saturday, Feb. 7. USA TODAY has reached out to the DHS for comment.

Lawsuit says child was hospitalized with respiratory issues

Amalia's parents, originally from Venezuela, have lived in the United States since 2024 with their daughter, who is a Mexican citizen, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit says all three intend to file asylum applications in the United States.

Amalia developed a fever on Jan. 1 that reached 104 degrees, started vomiting frequently and struggled to breathe, the lawsuit states.

She was taken to the hospital on Jan. 18 with extremely low oxygen saturation levels and diagnosed with COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus, viral bronchitis and pneumonia, according to the lawsuit. She was placed on supplemental oxygen.

Amalia was given a nebulizer and a respiratory medication upon her discharge from the hospital, but these were taken away by detention center staff upon her return, the lawsuit states. The girl has lost 10% of her body weight and was given nutritional drinks to help her regain it, but these were also confiscated by authorities, according to the lawsuit.
