Super Bowl XLIII Props Preview – Chasing Tail
I’m half way drunk and ready to rock for Friday night! What better time for me to rant on about the hilarious amount of Superbowl props that we have on the board! Between the coin toss, the National Anthem and the amount of penalty flags sailing through the Tampa skies, there’s plenty of you to make a quick buck on.
The Coin Toss – Steelers Chasing Tail
I’m feeling tails this year. I really am. And I think that the Steelers get the call. Don’t be surprised if they choose to kick and put their defense on the field either.
National Anthem Prop
I’m not trying to be insensitive here, but Jennifer Hudson is going to milk this anthem like a pregnant cow. I don’t even know what that last sentence meant. Between the tearful ovation she will get from fans across the nation, to the fact that she will struggle to tribute her slain family as much as possible, this is a mortal lock at OVER the 2 minute 3 second mark.
Lots and Lots Of Fumbles!
The fact that the you get an EVEN payout for the line on this is totally awesome. Only 1.5 fumbles? Really? Seriously? Between Adrian Wilson flying at Ben Roethlisberger, and the Steelers defense destroying Jesus Boy behind the line of scrimmage all day, the balls will be hitting the floor. Bet on it!
Who Needs Gatorade?
I’m going with Clear/Water at +650. You might think that Yellow or Blue have the lead as the two favorites, but I ‘m banking on the fact that the teams will burn through so much Gatorade throughout the game due to the Tampa heat, that all will be left is water. I know that’s a ridiculous thing to say but I don’t care. I’m down with the clear like Barry Bonds, baby!
First Commercial Is…
…always beer. First commercial to piss me off? Go Daddy.com, if and only if it will remind me at just how disgustingly average my girlfriend is and make me hate my life over and over again. Why did I give up my dream of being a rocket car driver?! Why did I become a writer??? WHY!!!
The Boss Has Spoken
And when he raises the mic, the words that spew from his mouth will be “BOOOORN IN THE USA!”. The outside chance is the “The Rising” at +500, but the EVEN money lies with his time tested favorite. I’d actually be stunned if he opened with anything but “Born in the USA’, but then again I’m still kind of shocked the Cardinals are playing in the big game too. I’m also surprised I haven’t gone back and decided to edit that part about my girlfriend being “disgustingly average”. Isn’t life full of these pleasant little surprises?
Bank On Jeff Reed!
The First score here is going to go to a field goal by Jeff Reed. So I would take “Pittsburgh on any other score” parlayed with Jeff Reed putting up the first points. Don’t be tricked by “Roethlisberger to score” at +fifty million because it’s not him “to throw a touchdown” it’s him to “rush for a touchdown”. So how that works? Yep. Your welcome for saving you from a gut wrenching call to our wagering department!
