Did you ever think you’d equate Super Bowl prop bets with the Cardinals?

There’s still admittedly a lot of disbelief when I envision camping out in front of the tube on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the Cardinals take on the Steelers. So, pretty much everything associated with the Super Bowl being steered toward Arizona is hard to grasp as well.

That goes for prop bets as well. You know, proposition bets…those silly little game related nuggets that make it seem ok to throw away the kids’ college fund because, after all, they’re not real bets.

Here’s some of the prop bets on the board for Super Bowl XLIII, created by Richard Gardner, Bodog Sportsbook Manager.

***I’m not a gambler, but put all your money on the cheerleader prop…the Steelers don’t even have cheerleaders!

    Vince, I thought all of these were pretty fun to look at so I posted it early today as well. I totally forgot about the cheerleader bet. Bet the house on that one! What color will Bill Bidwill’s tie be? has it ever been anything but red? If it has then I’m not aware of it. But I’m also color blind.
