Super Bowl = Prop bets

So my favorite thing about the Super Bowl every year is the absurd amount of prop bets available. When I’m at a party w/ like minded folks, I’ll usually try to get as many going as possible. This year, now that I got Bodog working again, I decided to juts make a litany of them there. These are all for small amounts, so I won’t be buying a new car or having to sell my things if they all go south. As for the final, I think the Giants take the game. I plan on taking the money line, but am hoping late money will go the Pats way and push it a little higher. Between the insane pass rush of NY and NE’s porous secondary, I see Eli hilariously passing his brother’s ring total. After the jump, here’s a stupid list of things I’ve decided to wager on. Let me know any thoughts, why I’m dumb, or wagers you’ve got (especially you Sam).

Giants O:

·    Eli Manning pass yards= over 315               16.50 -> 13.70

·    Will Victor Cruz score a TD = YES TD   10 -> 10

·    Eli Manning total TD passes = over 2.5    10 -> 14.50

·    Longest Eli completion = Over 45.5          -> 3.85

·    Eli Manning Rushing Yard = over 3.5       20 -> 15.38

Giants D:

·    Total tackles & Assists for JPP = over 5.5    5.75 -> 5

·    Total Sacks for Osi Umenyiora = under .5    3.45 -> 5

Patriots O:

·    First Patrios reception = Rob Gronkowski  -> 13.75

Misc:

·     Total # Sacks in the game = OVER 4.5  5.53 -> 6.08

·    How many times will Andrew Luck’s full name be said during game = Over 1

5 ->4.55

·    Will there be an excessive celebration penalty in the game = NO       5 -> 12.50

·    How many times will David Tyree’s catch be shown during game = Over 1.5  5 -> 5

·    First TD in the game scored by = Rob Gronkowski -> 30

·    First TD in the game scored by = Victor Cruz         -> 37.5

·     Superbowl MVP = Justin Tuck                              2 -> 100

·     Superbowl MVP = Antrell Rolle                              1 -> 75

Tyree is a sucker bet now that I think about it. I wish I had that one back. It’ll get played 85 times in the pregame, but during the game itself, 1 is probably the max. As you can tell, I’m clearly banking on the Pats secondary getting torn up by Eli and co. We will see. Happy gambling friends.
