Super Bowl only means one thing to the sports gambler: Props!!
Last year, I went 5 of 6 and had the umpires not given Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhal a generous spot on what should’ve been a 15 yard run (I had bet he wouldn’t bust anything over 16.5), I would’ve been $100 richer.
This year, Sports Action has 50 delectable propositions to muse over… so here goes.
————————————-
PROP #78: Game’s Longest Field Goal — 44.5 yards — Pick the UNDER (1.70)
Two offenses that can really move the ball. Expect a lot of red zone play in this one.
————————————-
PROP #96: Eli Manning Interceptions — 0.5 — Pick the UNDER (2.10)
Oh how quickly the baby face turns into a game face on these special occassions. Eli plays responsibly.
————————————-
PROP #99: Eli Manning MVP — yes/no — Pick YES (2.65)
If the Giants win (which I think they will), this is Eli’s to take.
————————————
PROP #108: Aaron Hernandez Receptions — 5.5. — Pick the OVER (1.75)
With Rob Gronkowski hobbling around on his high ankle sprain, expect the other New England TE to see some more action.
————————————
PROP #113: Victor Cruz Receptions — 5.5 — Pick the OVER (1.40)
Eli’s favourite target sees a lot of balls, again.
————————————-
PROP #116: Rob Gronkowski Receiving Yards — 80.5 — Pick the UNDER (1.60)
81 yards seems pretty difficult to do on one leg — injections may help, but i’ll take my chances.
