“Odd” Props On The Football Field During Game
First team to score: Kansas City Chiefs -110
This is a play where it seems too easy to take San Francisco at the sportsbook. The Niners have jumped out to a 7-0 lead in their playoff games against both Minnesota and Green Bay. Meanwhile, it has taken Andy Reid’s team basically the whole first quarter to get going – the Titans last week scored an early field goal and in the previous week the Houston Texans scored 21 on Kansas City in the first quarter of play. Also, in last year’s AFC championship game, the Patriots scored first against the Chiefs. So, it would make “perfect sense” to take the 49ers here, and on that fact alone I’m going Chiefs to score first.
Will either team score in the last two minutes of the first half? YES -350
In both of the 49ers’ playoff games this season, a team has scored in this scenario. In the Chiefs’ last seven playoff games, someone has scored in the final two minutes of the first half.
Shortest Touchdown of the Game: UNDER 1.5 yards -165
Over the last 87 NFL playoff games (since 2013), the UNDER’s record is an astonishing 62-25. It is only 17-15 in wild-card games but then it gets crazy good – 25-7 in divisional rounds, 15-1 in conference championships and 5-2 in the Super Bowl. This stat is as good as it could possibly get.
Oddities props during halftime
Will Alex Rodriguez be shown during halftime? YES +300
Well, I think this is a great value play considering he works for FOX’s Major League Baseball crew and his wife J-Lo will be the main halftime act. Again, a great value spot here!
Will J-Lo show butt cleavage? YES +500
This is not such a value play as A-Rod’s prop is and I’m not even sure what butt cleavage is, but whatever it is, yes, please!
Will Gloria Estefan be on Stage at Some Point During Halftime? YES +200
Estefan and her band Miami Sound Machine are legends in the music world and it would be cool to see her and J-Lo perform a song together in her hometown.
Oddities in the broadcasting booth
Will FOX Show a Clip or Picture of Joe Montana Playing With the Chiefs? YES +150
Look, what’s fair is fair and we all know we will see some sort of video during the game of Montana leading the 49ers down the field for a winning score in a Super Bowl, so they have to show him in a Chiefs uniform as well.
Will FOX mention Colin Kaepernick? NO -300
It’s actually a tough call but I feel it’s best if it is left alone. Whenever he is mentioned, there is no fun to be had, and the Super Bowl is supposed to be exactly that.
Will FOX Mention Alex Smith? YES +300
FOX should mention him but probably won’t. Kansas City sent him packing to Washington to make room for Patrick Mahomes and then he basically had his poor leg snapped off during a game with the Redskins. If they mention that, the guy deserves 15 last seconds of fame.
Will Joe Buck mention his father during the broadcast? YES -150
Joe’s dad is a legend in the broadcasting fraternity, and he was the play-by-play broadcaster for the very first Super Bowl. His father deserves more than a mention and it would be a sincere moment that neither Joe nor any of us would soon forget.
