Super Bowl 2012: Predicting Prop Bets for Patriots vs. Giants Clash

Ah, the Super Bowl, an event that guarantees we will be eating and drinking in ridiculous fashion, and our wagers will be just as silly. 

We will all be stuffing copious amounts of guacamole in our mouths and dropping mustard on the ol' Gronkowski replica. If we are going to look ridiculous, we might was well make equally insane bets on a game that has become far more holiday than contest. 

After laying money on some of these things, you will wonder if there is even a game being played. All the action is on the prop bets, and you have to get in on them now. 

Here is our picks for some intriguing prop bets. Bets according to Bovada.lv

The Coin Flip

It all starts with the flip of a commemorative coin and a nation that will be banking on one of its sides. The Wall Street Journal reports that Giants' captain Zak DeOssie will be calling tails on Sunday. 

Now consider that the NFC has won the toss the past 14 times, something that ESPN stated live on air has a 0.006 percent chance of actually happening. So the choice is yours. Are you going to bet against some scary voodoo mess that is going on for more than a decade? I go tails. 

Kelly Clarkson Bets

There are a few of these, but here are the most exciting: 

Will she omit a word during the National Anthem?: Christina Aguilera flubbed a whole line last year, so I put this at 50/50 going in. Based on the fact that Clarkson will be practicing her behind off to prevent that, I would bank on a flawless presentation.

Will Kelly Clarkson Show her Belly?: Women hate the word belly and you know that this bet has been received by Clarkson, a zaftig girl. The last thing she wants is for her tummy to be the center of attention. Look for a long garment, maybe even a Snuggie, to be around her.

Madonna 

Yes, a geriatric pop star will again take center stage at the Super Bowl. They should just do the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions at halftime and be done with it. 

Will Madonna wear an NFL jersey or shirt at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show?: A woman that is being labeled as over-the-hill will be doing her best to dress like a sex symbol. We can expect to see an adult grasp at the last remaining straws on Sunday. 

Will Madonna be wearing fishnet stockings at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show?: I kind of just assumed her whole wardrobe would be made out of fishnet. 

Other 

A couple more that interest me. 

How many times will Gisele Bundchen be shown on TV during the game?: This is going off as an over/under of .5. Take the over my friends. The hottest lady in the dome will be shown in her suite, and I will be irate if she is not. 

How many times will Peyton Manning be shown on TV during the game?: Tricky, tricky line. This is an over/under of 3.5. 

I am convinced that Manning will be shown all game, but the fine print is where this gets interesting. It has to be a live shot and can't be during halftime. That being said, he still gets over 4 live shots. This is the biggest story in Indianapolis and his brother is playing. Easy, take the over.
