Super Bowl Picks

Pure sports blog...

In the spirit of Super Bowl weekend, lets have some fun predictions. Super Bowl is probably the biggest event for sports betting. Every type of props you can imagine exists. Now, I am not encouraging gambling, but its fun to see what type of prop bets are around each year. Before the kickoff, millions of dollars are won and lost on the coin flip, with more money being won and lost within the first minute of the beginning of the game.

Example of some weird prop bets from last year's Super Bowl:
If Seattle Seahawks with the Super Bowl, who will Mike Holmgren first thank?
Matt Hasselback? Shaun Alexander? The 12th Man? Jake Delhomme?

If The Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl, who will Jerome Bettis thank first?
God? His parents? Bill Cowher? His sponsor?

This year's Super Bowl, prop bets such as:
The amount of time it takes Billy Joel to sing the national anthem.
Over/Under 1:44

Historical Match-ups: Who will have more passing yards? Peyton Manning, or Joe Montana in Super Bowl XVI?

Who will have more? (assuming Lebron James plays - which doesn't look likely right now) Lebron James' total points, or Colts total points?

Who will have more? Mary J Blige total Grammy wins, or Marvin Harrison total pass reception?

With that said, more props exist, but I will chime in on my own picks on a few just for fun.
