Super Bowl

[Juan]

Time for a SB thread?

Here are a few things to start it off --

Some bets on Seahawks now. @ +1.5 after topping out @ +2.

Seahawks cover 1.5 and win.

Under on "Omaha"

Some more prop bets --

"Borrowed" from http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/1/23/5338180/super-bowl-2014-prop-bets

They have an entire section there^

Will Knowshon Moreno cry during the Anthem?

In Kansas City this season, Moreno was shown on the sideline crying uncontrollably during the anthem. The odds come in as yes being +400 and no at -700. This is a great bet to try and steal some coin.

Words in the National Anthem

Renee Fleming is singing America's song, and the question being posed is will she omit any words? The line is +200 for yes and -300 for no. Again, good times.

Super Bowl MVP

This is a standard one, but always fun. Peyton Manning is the overwhelming favorite at 6/5, with Russell Wilson coming in at 15/4 and Marshawn Lynch rounding out the top three at 9/2. Maybe the sleeper here? Percy Harvin at 20/1.

Marshawn Lynch's rushing yards - 87.5

Lynch is a monster, but this might depend on how the game goes. If Manning is moving down the field and putting up points constantly, the ball comes out of Lynch's game with Seattle forced to pass. If the game is nip and tuck, Lynch likely totes the rock with authority.

Will it snow?

For yes we have +300 and no comes in at -500. If you're really feeling lucky, or have a background in understanding weather patterns, this might be the one for you.

Will the power go out?

This would be hilarious. The bet is +2500 after watching the Superdome lose half of the lights last season during the big game.

Lynch at 5:1 isn't a bad MVP bet.

Broncos to cover 2

Under 47.5

I'm boycotting the Super Bowl. Playing 36. Go Peyton!!!

 

[HornEsch]

If the weather is nasty Seahawks win, if not Broncos win. The Seahawks are built better for a bad weather game and Payton just is not the same guy in it.

Denver / under on "Omaha"

[SFlonghorngirl]

LOL.....Yes, I'm definitely not over the loss.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Broncos win. Peyton pimps Papa Johns in post game interview.

 

[JMagana]

Niners lost so want Manning to end the debate that hes not top 3 all time.

Of course after Joe Montana as GOAT ;-)

****for the ones that always want to argue everything for the sake of arguing.... The Montana's, Marinos, and Bradshaws didnt have the rules to protect offensive players they have now.

NY and the SB missed this by 10 hours.

Maybe Denver would have had a better chance this way?

Er, prolly not but who knows.
