• Super Bowl Prop Bets for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals
Born Wisdom here. I’m gonna be helping HG out here at YBB from time to time. My three favorite things in the world are gambling, sports, and gambling on sports. I’m not really good at the third, but I love doing it and really love talking about it.
It’s no secret that the NFL is as popular as it is because of gambling. So when the Super Bowl comes around each year, you can find dozens of prop bets to wager your unemployment checks on. I’ve gone through the props to find the best of the best.
IF ASKED OR VOLUNTEERED, WHO WILL BARACK OBAMA PICK TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL DURING THE PRE-GAME SHOW?
Betting Line: Pittsburgh (-120), Arizona (-110)
My Pick: Pittsburgh.
Why: Obama lost Arizona in the 2008 election and won Pennsylvania. The least he could do is say that Pittsburgh will win.
COIN TOSS
Betting Line: Heads (-101), Tails (-101)
My Pick: Tails.
Why: Tails never fails.
JERSEY NUMBER OF PLAYER TO SCORE FIRST TOUCHDOWN
Betting Line: 38.5 (-115)
My Pick: Over.
Why: Willie Parker (#39) is going to score the first touchdown. Don’t ask how I know this. I just do.
LARRY FITZGERALD’S TOTAL RECEPTIONS
Betting Line: 6.5
My Pick: Over.
Why: I have no idea how many receiving yards Fitzgerald will go for, but I know Warner is gonna be looking to him the entire game. Whether it’s a screen pass or a bomb 50 yards down field, Fitzgerald is gonna get his touches.
WHO WILL HAVE MORE ON FEB. 1? HEATH MILLER’S RECEPTIONS OR NEWCASTLE/SUNDERLAND TOTAL GOALS?
Betting Line: Heath Miler’s receptions -1.5 (+125), Newcastle/Sunderland total goals +1.5 (-155)
My Pick: Heath Miller’s receptions
Why: The only thing I know about soccer is that all games end in a 1-0 goalies’ duel or whatever they call it. Yawn. Heath Miller is catching more than two passes, so go with him.
Other props include…
WHO WILL THE MVP OF THE GAME THANK FIRST?
God -125
Teammates +200
Family +400

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE JENNIFER HUDSON TO SING THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER?

HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE ON THE GAME CLOCK WHEN THE WINNING TEAM ATTEMPTS TO DUMP GATORADE ON HEAD COACH?

Sergio Garcia’s 4th Round Score -9.5 (-115)
All this being said, don’t gamble. It’s bad. Unless you win. Then it’s awesome.
