Super Bowl 2012: Awesome Made-Up Prop Bets Vegas Should Consider

Las Vegas already does a phenomenal job of coming up with prop bets of their own.

Sin City thinks of some of the craziest combinations because people simply eat it up year after year.

National Football Post's Joe Fortenbaugh already compiled a list of some of the most intriguing prop bets for Super Bowl XLVI.

The two that truly stuck out were:

"

How many times will Peyton Manning be shown during the game?

Line: 3.5
Over: -130
Under: -110
Where to play it: Bovada.LV

How many times will David Tyree’s 2008 Super Bowl catch be shown on television during the game?

Line: 1
Over: -110
Under: -130
Where to play it: Bovada.LV

"

So we're going to have some fun and come up with a few of our own prop bets.

How many times will the announcers allude to Eli Manning's "elite" quarterback statement?

Line: 2
Over: -130
Under: -110

The skinny: Eli put himself a class with both his brother Peyton and his opponent, Tom Brady, in the 2011 preseason. Everybody scoffed at him, but Eli's play this year has been nothing but "ELIte."

People, announcers in particular, love to talk about it.

Tom Brady's total TD passes vs. Giants' total sacks

Line: Giants' sacks -200

The skinny: This has a lot to do with which team you think will win the game. The key to a Big Blue victory hinges on how often they can put Brady on his back.

If Brady is standing, he'll be slinging touchdowns against this defense. If Brady is on his back, he won't be doing anything of the sort.

Total number of dropped passes vs. Total number of fumbles

Line: Drops -3

The skinny: The Giants' receiving unit is extremely talented, but they are not immune to a drop or two directly off the hands, especially early in games.

This is the Super Bowl too, so some of these players are certain to have some butterflies.
