Sports Betting Tips

As promised earlier in the week, I am back with some proposition bet picks. But first I gotta tell ya, they are tough this year. I wonder if the books have been getting beat on these as of late, because the spreads on most of the props are ridiculous - rendering them pure sucker plays. That being said, let’s root around in the Bodog props and try and find some reasonable wagers.

Prop Bet #1:

If the Patriots win, will Bob Kraft mention the 72 Dolphins during the Trophy Presentation?

Yes -135

No - Even

My pick: No - at even money this seems like a good bet. It would be a bit classless to mention them and I don’t see Kraft (or anyone on the Patriots organization) stooping that low.

Prop Bet #2:

Will either team convert a 4th down attempt?

Yes -220

No +180

My Pick: No. The spread is a bit wide but I like the +180. The Patriots don’t have many fourth down situations on offense.

Prop Bet #3:

Which Super Bowl commercial will have a higher rating on USA Today’s annual Ad Meter?

Budweiser 2/3

Go Daddy.com 3/1

Pepsi 6/1

McDonald’s 9/1

Victoria Secret 8/1

Other 2/1

My Pick: Other getting 2-1 odds. Superbowl commercials have been getting worse over the years, not better. Especially the Bud ads. Go Daddy’s are a joke. This environment is ripe for a surprising newcomer to take the honors and I like the odds.

Prop Bet #4:

How Many Times will Joe Buck mention Peyton Manning’s name during the Broadcast?

Over 5.5 -125

Under 5.5 -115

My Pick: Under. Again betting on somebody showing a bit of class. Might be a mistake in this day and age!
