Super Bowl Bets

[CUZ]

I get a kick out of the oddball stuff that you can bet on for the Super Bowl. Listed below are some of the things you can bet on.

Over and Unders (You either bet it will be over the number listed or under the number listed.)

- Total points for the game 54 points.

- How Many Times will Joe Buck mention Peyton Manning's name during the Broadcast? 5 ½

- How many times will Archie Manning be shown on the TV Broadcast? 4 ½

- How long will it take Jordin Sparks to sing the National anthem? 1 min 42 seconds
(The Clock will start when Jordin Sparks sings the first note)

- Total number of Penalties made by both teams 10

- Total Quarterback Sacks record in game by both teams 4

Game Stuff (You either pick one of the teams or it's a yes or no proposition.)

- Patriots win by 11 1/2
- FIRST TEAM TO SCORE
- LAST TEAM TO SCORE
- LAST TEAM TO SCORE WINS GAME
- WILL THERE BE A SCORE IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF THE 1ST HALF
- WILL EITHER TEAM SCORE THREE UNANSWERED TIMES (P.A.T. IS NOT A SCORE)
- WILL THERE BE A SCORE IN THE 1ST 6 AND A HALF MINUTES OF THE GAME
- TEAM TO HAVE LONGEST TOUCHDOWN
- WILL THERE BE A SUCCESSFUL 2-PT CONVERSION
- WILL THERE BE A SAFETY
- WHICH HALF WILL SCORE MORE POINTS
- TEAM TO COMMIT 1ST TURNOVER
- FIRST TEAM TO USE COACHES CHALLENGE
- WILL THE FIRST COACHES CHALLENGE BE SUCCESSFUL
- 1ST TEAM TO CALL TIMEOUT
- WILL THERE BE OVERTIME
- TEAM TO GET THE 1ST PENALTY
- Which team will record the 1st QB sack in game?
- Team to make the 1st successful Field Goal in the game
- Team to Miss the first Field Goal in the game

There was a bunch more stuff you could bet on and of course the odds were definitely tilted in the "houses" favor.

So here's your chance to tell everyone which of these is the slam-dunk sure-fire easy-money bet (FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY).

Mine is Archie will be shown more than 4 times, but what do I know?

Last year the flyover was perfect. The land of the free and the home of the brave and whooooosh.
NASCAR flyovers always seem poorly timed.
I like to hear the different interpretations of the anthem at these big events. It's a tough song. And timing that flyover has to be a huge challenge for the squad leader.
For the singers, I only remember the really bad versions. Stephen Tyler (Aerosmith) at the Indy 500, Roseanne at a Padres baseball game.
Billy Joel was good, last year.

A few more yes-no propositions
Place your bets.
Belichik will get a personality injection and shake hands warmly at the end of the game?
Brady will date more than one supermodel before the 2 minute warning?
Plaxico Burress mother will give up the reason she named him Plaxico?

I like those. Here's an over/under for you.

- Number of times they'll say "Brett Favre" during the game. 6 1/2
