Super Bowl Prop Bets For 2014

What is a prop bet you ask?

Well, since you read the question above that asked you to ask me…I will tell you. A prop bet is a series of wages that take on other aspects of the game besides who wins and by how much. They can involve anything from the color of Gatorade dumped on the coach to the number of times a Budweiser commercial is shown.

They are very real and if you would like to take a quick flight to Las Vegas with me, I have pulled a list of some of my favorites:

• Over/Under for number of times Peyton Manning says “Omaha” during the game: 27.5 times
• 23% chance Michael Crabtree mentions Richard Sherman in a tweet during the game (Yes +300 | No -500)
• 26% chance Knowshon Moreno cries during National Anthem (Yes +250 | No -400)
• 31% chance it will snow during the game (Yes +200 | No -300)
• 31% chance Erin Andrews will interview Richard Sherman live after the game (Yes +200 | No -300)
• 54% chance lowest temperature anytime during game is OVER 28 degrees (Yes -140 | +100)
• 56% chance temperature at kickoff OVER 32 degrees (Yes -150 | No +110)
• Over/Under for number of people who will view the game: 112 million
• Will the power go out in the stadium during the game: 20/1 against
