Super Bowl Prop Bets: The 5 Best in-Game Bets Worth Wagering on

The biggest sporting event of the year is upon u,s and that also means that more money will be won and lost on this game than any other in the world.

So, while you see people betting on the coin flip, color of the liquid to be dumped on the winning coach and the length of the National Anthem, here are the top in-game bets to consider where actual logic comes into play:

What Will Happen First? Touchdown -200, Field Goal +160

In what is likely to be as random as a coin flip, might as well go with the better value play. The Pats kicked three field goals on Sunday, including their first points against the Ravens. They only scored two touchdowns. The Giants had two field goals and two touchdowns, and the conservative Tom Coughlin will not be passing up easy points early on it the game.

When these two teams first met in Week 9, it was a scoreless game going into the half, so points will be at a premium.

Will a Point Be Scored in First Six Minutes of the Game? Yes -115, No -115

The Patriots' shaky O-Line has been much better recently, but it’s going to take some time for them to adjust to the deadly Giants front four. I think the Pats will fail to score in their first two possessions.

The Giants have been getting off to slow starts recently. They didn’t score in the first quarter of the 49ers win and didn’t score against the Packers until almost nine minutes had gone off the clock.

For whatever reason, the Giants get off to slow starts, which works out perfectly for this bet…and for the next one.

Who Scores First? Giants -105, Patriots -125

The Pats have the offense that can score quicker, and they also have more experience playing on a stage this large. The Giants haven’t scored points in the first 7:30 of the first quarter yet in three games. They take a few possessions to adjust and figure out what the defense is giving them and take advantage of it.

Rob Gronkowski is always one play away from ripping off a 70-yard touchdown.

What Will Eli Manning Throw First? Touchdown -200, Interception +160

Manning only has one interception this postseason, but does that mean he’s due? The Patriots' pass defense has somehow morphed from the 31^st-ranked unit against the pass (294 YPG) during the regular season to a solid group that has given up an average of 221 yards per game in the playoffs. The return of Patrick Chung has been huge, and they are now suddenly hard to throw on.

With all the pressure in the world on his shoulders, this is a value play worth taking a stab at.   

Giants +3 vs. New England Patriots

The G-Men beat the Patriots in the ’08 Super Bow,l and they beat the Pats in Foxboro earlier in the 2011 season. So, why are they favored to lose?

Tom Brady.

America’s obsession with No. 12 is quite odd, and I think the legend of Brady is bigger than his talent at this point. Eli Manning deserves much more credit than what he’s currently receiving…and he will finally get it by winning his second Super Bowl.
