Super Bowl Props

Super Bowl XL Proposition Bets

Who will be the MVP of Super Bowl XL on Sunday? At bodog.com, you can get Ben Roethlisberger at 5/2 odds for that award, and Matt Hasselbeck at 3/1 odds. Other solid options include Shaun Alexander (7/2), Jerome Bettis (5/1), Hines Ward (10/1), Willie Parker (10/1), Troy Polamalu (10/1), and Darrell Jackson (12/1). A split decision (that is, co-winners of the MVP award) pays off at 9/1 odds.

And that's just one of the many Super Bowl props currently available for you to place bets on prior to the big game. You can also get your bets down on the player you think will score the first touchdown on Sunday. Bettis currently sits as the 5/1 favorite in that category, followed by Ward (7/1), Jackson (7/1), Heath Miller (10/1), Parker (11/1), Bobby Engram (12/1), and Antwaan Randle El (12/1).

For fans of the quarterbacks, bodog.com offers props on whether Hasselbeck will pass for over or under 235 yards on Sunday, and whether he'll attempt over or under 33 pass attempts in the game. For Roethlisberger, the posted numbers are 222.5 and 26.5.

Over at mysportsbook.com, you can gamble on the total rushing or receiving yards that will be compiled by the game's key offensive players. For the Seahawks, you can choose whether Alexander will go over or under 89.5 rushing yards, and whether Jackson (69.5 yards) and Engram (37.5 yards) will exceed their posted receiving targets. For the Steelers, you have Parker (60.5 rushing yards), Bettis (40.5 rushing yards), and Ward (68.5 receiving yards).

And if you're looking for a little cross-sport action, bodog.com lets you pit football and basketball results against one another. For example, you can place bets on whether the Lakers' Kobe Bryant (+5.5) will score more points against the New Orleans Hornets on February 4 than both teams combined will put up in the Super Bowl. As well, you can wager that the Raptors' Chris Bosh will score more points against the Los Angeles Clippers than Hasselbeck will have pass completions on Sunday. And finally, don't forget to get your bets down on either Elton Brand's total points (-3.5) versus the Raptors or Alexander's total rushing attempts for the Seahawks on Sunday.
