Super Bowl Prop Bets!

I wasted $20 from my Bodog account to place insane wagers on all manner of unpredictable things to happen (or not) during the game. I put $1 on each of these 20:

Colts (-5) over Saints: I would be shocked and appalled (but happy!) if the Saints won this game

Team offense to cross the 50 yard line first in the game
Wager is official once either team offense crosses the 50 yard line. Punt / Kickoff / Fumble / Interception Return does not count towards wager
Colts (-130)


How many yards will the first field goal of the game be?
37-43 (7/2)


What will be the result of the first coaches challenge of the game?
Play Stands (-115)


The last score of the game will be
Field Goal or Safety (+160)


Total quarterback sacks made in the game by both teams
Over 3.5 (+220)
I feel like the Saints will be doing everything humanly possible to get to Pey Pey. They gotta get at least a couple. And Drew Teeth Brees will do soemthing stupid and get his ass sacked.

Will there be a lead change in the second half?
Yes (+150)
God I hope so

Will there be a missed extra point after touchdown?
Yes (+1000)
There was no way I could pass this up. What a line. Also, this is another reason why athletes get paid like they do. Can you imagine if these guys made what truck drivers make and this line appeared in a sportsbook? Throw a quick $2500 on this and BAM! How could they not conspire to miss an extra point?

In which quarter will the Saints score the most points?
3rd (57/20)
I like this one cause the line is 57/20) if it were bumped up to 3/1 I would have never bet it.

Will the Colts score in every quarter?
Yes (+125)
This seems like easy money ($.25!)

The largest lead of the game by either team will be
Under 15.5 (-140)
This is more me hoping for a good game than anything.

Double Result: Overtime does not count towards wager
Tie - Colts (16/1)
So for me to win this the game must be tied at halftime and the Colts have to be leading at the end of the fourth quarter. There is absolutely no way this happens.

Will the game total be odd or even?
Even (+110)
The money line for "odd" was like -125 or some shit. Is it really more mathematically likely that any game will end with an odd total number of points than even? I don't get it.

Odds to win MVP
Austin Collie (20/1)
I like the cut of this fellow's jib, I guess

****THINGS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL****


How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the National Anthem?
Over 1:42 (+135)
I know nothing about this woman, but I feel confident she will sing the shit out of every note in order to squeeze as much time out of this appearance as possible. I wonder if she is allowed to wager on this?

What will be the result of the coin toss?
Tails (-105)
Never fails, bro.

What color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the winning team?
Lime Green (8/1)
Have you ever even seem lime green Gatorade? Isn't lime flavored Gatorade yellow? This is a horrible bet.

How many times will CBS announcers fully mention Hurricane Katrina during the game?
Wager is on the number of times announcers specifically say "Hurricane Katrina" during the game (from kickoff to final whistle).
Over 2.5 (-150)
I wish there was a way I could put one million dollars on this.

How many times will Pete Townshend do his legendary windmill move?
Windmill move must be a full 360 degree revolution and be shown on TV to be counted for this wager
Under 5.5 (+160)
Pete Townshend is 64. There is absolutely no chance he can successfully execute six "full 360 degree revolutions" on a 64 year-old shoulder.

Will they show a replay of Tom Benson celebrating the missed field goal against Tampa Bay from the regular season?
Replay must be shown after the kickoff and before final whistle for "yes" to be graded the winner.
Yes (+275)
This is my favorite highlight from the entire season. Too good to not show.
