SuperBowl XLII PROPS:

I would like to hear what people's Favorite prop is and reasons behind their pick. I have hit my PROP of the Year 7 straight years. Here is my last couple and my reasons to support them.


SUPERBOWL XLI
Prop of the year 1:
# of CHI players that will rush the ball
OVER 2.5
- WINNER--- 3 Players had at least 1 RUSH
Over 90% of the time, a team has at least 3 players with 1 RUSH in the SuperBowl.

Prop of the year 2:
# of IND players that will rush the ball
OVER 3
- WINNER--- 4 Players had at least 1 RUSH
Over 90% of the time, a team has at least 3 players with 1 RUSH in the SuperBowl. Really - Did I need any other reason than I thought I had a Push at worst.


SUPERBOWL XL


Prop of the Year:
Seattle will get the ball first! WINNER

People called us stupid, said this prop would be just
luck. I said Seattle would elect to receive
if given the option and Cowher would kick it to get
the ball at the beginning of the 2nd half. Either way,
SEATTLE would get the ball first. Why even bet on
the game with such an easy bet.

I am still still looking this year and will let you guys know when I decide on mine.

Don't know why this one sticks out in my head. I think a punter will have a touchback in the game. If you bet on both sides you will win money. thoughts?

Thats a great way to find an easy way to increase your chance of making $.
I also believe their will be at least 1 Touchback, maybe 1 by each punter.

STRAIGHTANSWERS:

Prop 1: NE PATS will win the COIN TOSS. It's not as Ridiculous as you think. Here's why.......
---The NFC Team has won the COIN TOSS 10 Straight years and the NFC leads 27-14 Overall. The Law of averages show an advantage toward the AFC Team.

PROP 2: Parlay NE wins COIN FLIP with NE will receive the ball 1st.
(This can only be done with some local bookies) Here's why......
---I already explained the COIN FLIP scenerio. In ALL 41 previous Superbowls, the Team that has won the COIN TOSS has elected to Receive the ball. I only get +230 on a 2-teamer with the local, but this ie easy $$$$.
I will back myself up with
PROP 3: Parlay NYG wins COIN FLIP with NYG Receive the ball 1st. This is just in case the NYG win the COIN FLIP. Parlay will pay +230.

Prop 4: Largest Lead of the game is 18 - UNDER. Since Week 9, the NYG have only been behind by 18 points Twive and NE has only been ahead by 18 three times. I will go with the odds.

the "law of averages" is irrelevant. The chances are 50/50, each year. No matter what the outcome has been the past 10 years.

You might as well flip a coin to decide which way to go on this prop

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I understand this. You are actually commenting on the "The Law of Independant Assortment".
But if you look at Prop 2 and Prop 3, I am getting almost a Free shot at what will even out over a period of time because I will win +260 between prop 2 and 3. I figure that I will be either +560 or -70 after the 1st three Props. Life is @ timing and that's what I'm trying to do with the COIN TOSS.
