The folks from Bodog, www.BodogLife.com, were kind enough to pass on to me a list of Super Bowl prop bets, and I thought I'd share some of my favorites, as well as which way I'd lean in the betting. Not the betting of money, of course, as I'd never condone such a thing, but the betting of Skittles.

Yes, please consider all the numbers below to be an amount of Skittles. For example, if a bet is listed as -200, you'd have to lay 200 Skittles in order to win 100 Skittles. If a bet is listed as +150, the gambler would have to lay 100 Skittles to win 150 Skittles. Here we go.

How Many Times will NBC show Brenda Warner on TV during the Game?
Over/Under:  3½

I'd go under here, though considering recent developments, I don't mind telling you that I'm hoping for the over. And we won't have the same confusion we've had in previous years, where no one could tell if it was a shot of Brenda Warner or a shot of Cloris Leachman.

How many times will Al Michaels and John Madden reference Ben Roethlisberger as “Big Ben” during the Game.
Over/Under:  7½ 

I'm going under here, too. I think Al Michaels plays it by the book most of the time, and he'll just call him "Roethlisberger." Madden, too. It's the Super Bowl, they'll be paying particular attention to not showing partiality to either team.

Will Matt Millen pick the correct team to win the SB on the NBC Pregame?
Yes:  -270
No:  +210

Like everyone else, he's got about 50/50 shot, but you can get better than 50/50 money. I'd go with "No" and the +210.

How many food references will John Madden make during the game?
Over/Under:  1½ 

Take the over. One food reference is customary per Madden/Michaels broadcast in whatever city they happen to be in. Throw in the fact that it's the Super Bowl, perhaps the second-biggest eating day on the American calendar, and I think Madden gets two food references in.

Which Teams Cheerleaders will be shown more often on camera?
Pittsburgh:  -175
Arizona:  +135

I recommend betting your house (house of Skittles, of course) on the Arizona Cardinals cheerleaders AS QUICKLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, since the Steelers don't even have cheerleaders.

Who will the MVP of the Game thank first?
God:  1/1    
Teammates:  2/1      
Family:  4/1     
Coach:  7/1     
Doesn't thank anyone:  3/1

Kurt Warner, of course, is a lock for God, and what were Ben Roethlisberger's first words after winning the AFC Championship game? "God is good." Even at 1/1, I think God is where you have to put your money here. Though, an interesting side question: Couldn't an atheist argue that that the options of "God" and "Doesn't thank anyone" are the same thing?
