Super Bowl Props – Bets You Wish You Could Make
I am submitting some Super Bowl props for the digestion of the powers-that-be at BetUS, and I certainly hope they can make use of “The Charles Jay Line” on things. Actually, I do this every year, in the pursuit of laying some out that aren’t part of the menu appearing at any other source. There are so many of them that I cannot be certain these are completely original, but I wouldn’t bet against it.

Super Bowl: An Early Look
The theme of this Super Bowl is already evident: Defense or offense? The Cardinals have the No. 4 offense in the NFL, No. 2 in passing, behind QB Kurt Warner and a talented trio of three-1,000+ yard receivers. The physical Steelers have the No. 1 defense. History says defense wins championships, which is why Pittsburgh is favored. But there’s a reason they play the games, as we saw last season when the double-digit Giants stunned the 18-0 Patriots, 17-14.
