The Super Bowl is the most watched a drooled over sporting event in our beloved country and betting on this game will be absolutely ridiculous. There are so many different story lines going into this year’s Super Bowl it’s not even funny. And our friends in Vegas are taking full advantage of all of them. Here is our top list of prop bets – bets that sometimes have absolutely no relation to the game itself – for Super Bowl XLVI
10. How many times will Peyton Manning be shown on TV?
Over/Under – 3.5
Eli Manning isn’t the only story in this year’s Super Bowl. There is a lot of buzz about where his big brother Peyton will be playing football next year – if at all. From the kickoff to the final whistle, only live footage only – nothing taped counts toward the wager – I’m taking the over on this bet – way over!
9. How many times will the 2008 Super Bowl catch by David Tyree be shown on live TV during the game?
Over/Under – 1
This is a tough one because if the game is close in the fourth quarter there will be the need for some timeout filler. This highlight is one of the best Super Bowl plays in history but I can’t see them playing it more than once.
8. If Tom Brady’s son is shown on TV during the game will he be wearing a Tom Brady jersey?
Yes – 200
No + 150
I’m picking yes. Even though his super hot mom will probably want to dress him up in a three piece suit with something fancy like a fedora and bow tie, I think she’ll keep it simple and cute to rock daddies jersey during the big game.
7. Which team will Obama choose to win the game?
Patriots
Giants
The president picks usually before kickoff and I can totally see him going with the golden boy Tom Brady and the Pats. It’s the safe pick.
6. How many people will watch the game?
Over/Under 117 million viewers
Let me see here, this year’s Super Bowl is a rematch from 2008 with the same two starting quarterback and head coaches. The media has blitzed us with Super Bowl buzz ever since the AFC and NFC Championship games were over. Everyone cares about New York vs. Boston – Need I say more? Over!
5. How long will it take Kelly Clarkson to sing the National Anthem?
Over/Under 1:34
Kelly will keep it simple. She won’t try to wow the crowd with prolonged notes and ridiculous harmonies. She sang the National Anthem during a Thanksgiving Day halftime show for the Cowboys and it took her about 1:31 seconds. Anything can happen buy I’m going under.
4. Will Kelly Clarkson mess up at least 1 word of the National Anthem?
Yes + 250
Hell No! Kelly Clarkson is the Michael Jordan of National Anthems. She isn’t going to be Christina Aguilera and botch our nation’s anthem for the second year in a row. Christina…that was so embarrassing. I was hammered by kickoff and I still remember that. SMH.
3. Will Madonna wear fishnet stockings at any point during the halftime show?
Yes – 120
No + 120
I’m saying yes. She might be old but she still likes to flaunt it like she’s got it, like the virgin she wishes she still was.
2. What color will the Gatorade Shower be at the end of the game?
Clear/Water (2/1)
Yellow (2/1)
Orange (9/4)
Red (11/2)
Green (6/1)
Blue (10/1)
The Gatorade shower on the winning coach is a football tradition so I’m going to have to go with the classic yellow Gatorade on this one. Blue is too far a fetch to put money on.
1. Will Kelly Clarkson show a bare belly when she sings the National Anthem?
Yes + 300
You have go to be crazy to take this bet! We all know Kelly Clarkson has put on a little extra baggage lately. She might be a little bit bigger now a days but she isn’t stupid.
There are a lot of prop bets for Super Bowl XLVI so call your bookies and have some fun with them.
