Super Bowl Sunday is finally upon us and with it comes the kind of fun and frivolity that transcends gender and game interest. One of the most interesting aspects of the Super Bowl - at least from a betting perspective - is the incredible range of prop bets that are offered. Some of them are typical and game action focused, others are far more creative. Many of the options aren't a particularly good bet, but that doesn't mean that they aren't fun.
We at Wisconsin's Sports Weekend knocked head's and developed our own list of prop bets (for entertainment purposes only). Print it out and follow along at home. Feel free to e-mail us and show how your predictions stack up. We'll post our results after the game.
