Superbowl = Super bets
While listening to sports talk radio this morning, one of the topics of conversation was, of course, the Superbowl. However, rather than focusing on the question of who would win, the focus was on the prop bets for the Superbowl. While most non-football fans can appreciate the Superbowl and surrounding activities (parties/performances/commercials/etc.), prop bets can add a little excitement to the Superbowl for even the most lackadaisical sports fan.
Here were a few of the prop bets that we thought were interesting and are becoming popular in Vegas. Check 'em out and let us know whether you'll be betting on any of these Superbowl prop bets. Leave a comment for us on the Lids Blog, Facebook or Twitter.
