The Best Super Bowl Prop Bets

Prop bets always make me laugh because it shows that people will gamble on anything. Not only are they gambling on the game, but also gambling on events that will take place during the game. Will the national anthem singer go past the minute and 30 second mark? What will the singer be wearing? You can gamble on all of that. So with the help from Bodog, here's the very best Super Bowl Prop Bets.

- How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem?: Over/Under at 1 minute 54 seconds

I would take the over based on her past performances of the National Anthem at the NBA Finals. The more I think about it though, I might take the under. The Super Bowl national anthem is always prerecorded and lip synced by the performer. The NFL might require her to keep the song under a minute and 45 seconds.

- Will Christina Aguilera wear a cowboy hat while singing the National Anthem?: Yes or No?

Christina Aguilera doesn't look like someone who would wear a cowboy hat just because she's in Texas.


- How Many Times will FOX show Jerry Jones on TV during the Game?: Over/Under 2 1/2 times?

Definitely take the over on this one for a variety of reasons. A) Fox is broadcasting the game B) Troy Aikman is in the booth C) The Cowboys were suppose to become the first team to play in the Super Bowl in their own stadium D) Networks love showing Jerry Jones for whatever reason, maybe to make us nauseous.

- How Many Times will FOX mention “Brett Favre” on TV during the Game?: Over/Under 2 1/2 times?

Bodog is crazy for setting that line at 2 1/2 times for the entire game. I'll be surprised if "Brett Favre" isn't mentioned at least 2 1/2 times during the first quarter. That's what Bodog should have done. Make it a quarterly wager.

- How Many Times will FOX mention “Lockout” on TV during the Game?: Over/Under 1 1/2 times?

This is another one where I have to take the over. The lockout has been in the news all season and the reality is this could be the last NFL game we see in a while. Buck and Aikman might not mentioned it more than Brett Favre, but I'm sure it will come up at least over 1 1/2 times during the game.

- What will happen with the Dow Jones the day after the Super Bowl?: Market up or Market down?

Probably my favorite bet. Will the Dow Jones be up or down the day after the Super Bowl? I'm going to say down because people will be too hungover to invest.

- Will Any Player do the Lambeau Leap after a TD? Yes +125

Take the money and run.

The rest of the Bodog bets are your standard prop bets like who will score first and what type of play will the score be? I have some prop bets of my own for our weekly NFL live blogs we've done the past two years.

- Who will be the first person to open the live blog and make a comment?: Justin or Myself?
- Who will be the first person to enter the comments section?: Longley or Scott?
- Who will make the first obscure comment that goes over Justin and Myself head?: RJBO or Kris?
- When will Mookie leave the live blog and head over to Field Gulls to comment? 1st Quarter or Halftime?
- Will James Craven show up? Yes or No? 
- Who will be the first person to leave the live blog if the Steelers win because they can't stand the sight of the Steelers organization? Kris or Myself?
