If you're like me, you've been saving your lunch money this week to throw down a couple-a prop bets on Super Bowl Sunday (gotta do something to get through all that seven-layer dip and Natty Light).
...Yes, totally random, totally worthless gambling (which is, ironically, the definition of gamblng...)
Whether you plunk down your pennies @ West Wendover or Somewhere on The Strip, here's our 5 fave Super Bowl XLII prop bets, followed by some player/fantasy junkie picks (remember Pierre Garcon is Haitian, so he'll have a big day and Jeremy Shockey always does nothing for eventual-winner underdogs).
For a complete list of props and the line, click here.
1) First turnover
Interception (-170)
Fumble (+135)
Take: Fumble. Points gurus are thinking this pass-happy fest is gonna precipitate an early INT. But look for jittery Bush/Addai to cough up early.
2) How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing 'The Star-Spangled Banner'?!
Over 1 minute, 42 seconds (+120)
Under 1 minute, 42 seconds (-150)
Take: Under. Conventional office wisdom says she'll streeeeeeeetch it out, but we think she's going to bust out with something short and sweet.
3) Kardashian facetime
Over/Under 2.5
Take: OVER. Hello... camera will pan to Kim K. (Bush's on-again g/f) at least five times before Carrie gets to the second verse.
4) Will Peyton Manning win the MVP (4/7 odds)
Take: Yes... if Archie doesn't get it instead.
5) Will Townsend smash his guitar at halftime?!
Yes (+160)
No (-200)
Take: Yes. It may be his last chance.
