If I had A Hundred Dollars

This is how I would bet Super Bowl XLI...

Game: $50 Indianapolis Colts (-7) over Chicago Bears- This just seems like one of those 80's Super Bowls where the media spends two weeks trying to convince themselves the team from the inferior conference has a chance. Plus this game is eerily similar to the 2004 World Series with Manning and the Colts able to be loose after climbing their biggest hurdle. I expect Indy to break away late.

Over/Under: $25 Over (49)- If you take the spread and the over/under and use some High School algebra Vegas is predicting Colts 28, Bears 21. I like the Colts by at least 10 after Grossman tries to do too much to win the game and gives up at least one pick-six.

Jersey Number of First Player to Score a Touchdown: $10 (would payout $8.70)Under (61.5)- The question here is whether or not a Running Back or Wide Receiver/Tight End will score the first touchdown. I couldn't find odds on each player without attempting to go on gambling websites which my company has deemed NSFW. Seems like a no-brainer here. Deep down Lovie Smith doesn't trust Rex Grossman in the red zone, Indy likes to get the ball to 4th and Lynches' own Joseph Addai in the red zone, if Rex Grossman throws an interception for a touchdown it'll be to a Colts DB wearing a number in the 20's.

Cross-Sport Prop $10 (would payout $8.70): Colts (-.5) over LeBron James Points vs. Detroit- This seems like a lock considering LeBron is coming off a toe injury and only scored 26 in his only other game against Detroit. I really like the Colts in this game, can't you tell?

Coin Toss $5 (would payout $4.75): Bears over Colts- Gotta pick the Bears to win something but this is a blind coin flip (ba dump ching) Betting the Coin Toss is a good way to get into the gambling mood all game long.
