Super Bowl Propositions Contest

Recommended Posts

Because simply betting on the outcome isn't enough for some people, I looked up some proposition bets on Bodog.com and decided to have a little contest. Winner gets bragging rights. Unfortunately, they don't have the "Which will be higher: Bernard Berrian's receiving yards or Tiger Woods' final round score that Sunday" proposition I saw in the paper today. I swear, people would bet on the gametime temperature if it was available.

 

Anyway, here you go. I'll limit it to the 11 most interesting ones:

 

1) How long will it take Billy Joel to Sing the National Anthem? (Clock starts with first note sung)

 

Over 1m44s

Under 1m44s (1m31s)

 

2) What will Prince's first song of the Halftime show be? (Odds in parenthesis)

 

Let's Go Crazy (1/3)

Song of the Heart (3/1)

Purple Rain (4/1)

When Doves Cry (6/1)

1999 (5/1)

Little Red Corvette (4/1)

Kiss (6/1)

Other (7/2)

 

3) Team to score first in the game

 

Colts or Bears

 

4) Team to score last in the game

 

Colts or Bears

 

5a) Team to use their Coaches Challenge first in the game

 

Colts or Bears

 

5b) Result of that challenge

 

Play overturned

Play stands

 

6)Team to commit the Most Turnovers in the game

 

Colts (3) or Bears (5)

 

7) In which half will there be more points scored?

 

1st Half (30)

2nd Half + OT (16)

 

8) Will there be a lead change in the Second Half?

 

Yes

No

 

9a)Total Number of Indianapolis Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs)

 

Over 7

Under 7

7 = PUSH

 

9b) Total Number of Chicago Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs)

 

Over 6 1/2

Under 6 1/2 (6)

 

10a) Total number of Indianapolis defensive players to Intercept a pass

 

Over 2 1/2

Under 2 1/2 (2)

 

10b) Total number of Chicago defensive players to Intercept a pass

 

Over 2

Under 2 (1)

 

11) Total points scored by both teams

 

0-7

8-14

15-21

22-28

29-35

36-42

43-49 (46)

50-56

57-63

64-70

71-77

78 or more

 

Good luck.

They don't specify, but I am going to include players that catch INTs to spice it up.

 

EDIT: Changed my mind as that would probably tilt it more towards the overs.

 

EDIT2: Added separate propositions (10a and 10b) regarding INTs.

Team to have the Longest Kickoff return in game (IND vs CHI)

 

If longest kickoff returns yardage ends tied, wager has no action. Overtime counts towards wager. No Parlays. Max $700

Indianapolis Colts (Longest Kickoff Return)

Team to have the Longest Punt return in the game (IND vs CHI)

If I had $700 I would bet on the Bears, Vasher for both.

Even though it's Devin Hester doing the returns?

Just as long as its a Bears player it does not matter.

All you guys picking over on the Anthem would lose money. Billy Joel has sung the anthem previously, the longest he has ever sung it was 1 minute 37 seconds. There is only one Super Bowl national anthem that has surpassed two minutes, and that was sung by Beyonce.

 

Research is critical.
