Have you ever noticed that baseball is the only sport where the managers are dressed as if they’re ready to play? Talk about uniformity! Forget about those courtside Armani-clad NBA coaches or football coaches who look like they are going to celebrate their team’s victory at the nearest putting green. For once I’d like to see a manager don proper protective gear. Nobody’s asking him to play, but don’t you think being adequately outfitted with pads or at least a helmet is the best way to head a cohesive team? While you don’t need a jockstrap to be a playmaker, would it hurt to wear the jersey? No matter how you feel about likelihood of any of this coming to pass, you can always put your money where your mouth is by placing super bowl prop bets.

There’s no need to wait until February to make things interesting. Look online and you’ll find tons of superbowl prop bets right now. As you get closer to the big game the variety of options balloons, but the odds can prove lucrative today. If you are the indecisive type, why not bet on the coin toss itself?

The big game is exciting enough on its own, but what if you could really ramp up the whole experience? I’m talking about flying so high you’ll be fighting for airspace with the Goodyear blimp all game long. Have you ever thought about betting on individual statistics, the duration of the anthem, or the half time show? What hits will be bellowed throughout the dome? You can even place some cash on those blockbuster ads. When you’re talking about them at the watercooler, you can make it more personal. Your coworkers will think your prop bets are hilarious, although that might turn into jealousy when you tell them the real score of your bankroll.
