Super Bowl XLII Props: Off the Board
Super Bowl XLII is not without its compelling storylines.
Imagine a world where sportsbook props
extended beyond passing yards and rushing
TDs. Sound like fun? We think so too

Brady vs. Manning. New York vs. Boston.
Tom Petty at halftime. The quest for perfection.
And so on. And so forth.
It comes as no surprise, then, that the
Bodog Sportsbook has created a myriad of
prop bets in conjunction with these stories.
You can bet on who'll throw more pass
attempts - Brady (-2.5, -115) or Manning
(+2.5, -115).
You can throw
down on what song Petty will send to
end his halftime show ("Free
Falling" is the favorite at 2/3).
Heck, you can even bet if Pats owner Bob
Kraft will mention the 1972 Dolphins during
the trophy presentation (yes: -135, no:
-105).
We at Bodog Nation have taken Super
Bowl prop betting a step further. For the last
two years (see the 2006 and 2007 editions),
idiots in crime Jason Brough and Mike Halford
have dreamt up a series of fake Super Bowl
props that should be real Super Bowl props
for your reading pleasure. In keeping with
tradition, here are our submissions for
Super Bowl XLII:
Will the entire Fox pre-game team pick
the Patriots to win the Super Bowl?
* Yes, New England is that good (+100)
* No, Terry Bradshaw likes the Steelers
(-110)
In light
of Tom Brady’s ankle injury,
Patriots backup quarterback Matt Cassell
will:
* Attempt between one and five passes
in the Super Bowl (+400)
* Attempt over five passes in the Super
Bowl (+700)
* Donate his ankle to Tom Brady (-300)
If New England wins the Super Bowl and
goes undefeated, the 1972 Miami Dolphins
will send the Patriots:

(+200)
* A team-signed jersey (+800)

hawking this week (-100)
If the Patriots win the Super Bowl, coach
Bill Belichick will first thank:

The headline in the Boston Globe for Monday,
Feb. 4 will read:

(+100)

home MVP (+900)

What will Eli Manning say upon meeting
Tom Petty?
* "Hey, Mary Jane's Last Dance...
that's about weed, right?" (+250)
* "Yeah, that was my brother last
year. Don't expect similar results." (-400)
* "Play some fuckin' Skynyrd, man!" (+100)
* "I just threw up." (-650)
