SB XL MVP Prop

[WayneWonder]

Jerome Bettis +750 @ Olympic

The Bus has been making frequent stops in the endzone recently with one touchdown in each of the three playoff games and three in the season finale. If Pittsburgh happens to win the Super Bowl (as many people believe they will) then Roethlisberger is the only competiton for this award. I feel that the Super Bowl being in Detroit, the hometown of Bettis, and also the fact that he is set to retire after this game all will work in his favor allowing him to win the award despite not having the best game.

Wagering 50.00 to win 375.00

Interesting play, it could happen if they actually give him the ball as he can still average 4-5 yards per carry. How do they decide who is MVP? Is there a panel of judges, polling people, or some kind of formula? Never put any thought into that before but just wondering.

 

[WayneWonder]

The Super Bowl MVP is decided by 19 "voters." Fifteen are media members covering the game. Four are designated fan votes. You can vote on the Internet late in the game and just after the game, and the winner of the fan vote gets all four designated fan votes.

WOW- intriguing bet...its almost worth the 50 bucks...he could easily pull off one of those 3 TDs and 15 yards games

Another prop play for the Super Bowl:

Total net rushing yards made by both teams OVER 210 (+115) Olympic

Seattle averages 153.6 rush yds per game in reg. season, 154.5 in playoffs.

Pittsburgh averages 138.9 in reg season, 115.3 in playoffs.

Risking $100.00 to win $115.00 :toast:

Who do you use to get your props. I use betjamaica and they hardly have any and they are never in advance, always seem to be around gameday.

 

[WayneWonder]

Colonel...I use Olympic Sports Just follow the link. It is the only book I have experience with but have nothing but good things to say about them.

 

[Statman02]

the thing about rushing that I don't like is their defenses.......in the last 6 games Seattle is #1 against the rush allowing 62 YPG.....and Pitt is #3 against the rush allowing 73 YPG.......Seattle should have it a little better than Pitt because Pitt allows 3.89 YPR while Seattle only allows 2.44......I just don't think either one of them will be able to run the ball........for the season Pitt is #2 against the rush @ 84.5 YPG and Seattle is #3 against the rush @ 89.2 YPG

Adding another prop play:

Which half will there be more points scored in....2nd half + OT -110 (Olympic)

Take a look at the last seven Super Bowls.

PHI/NE 1st half 14...2nd half 31

NE/CAR 1st half 24...2nd half 35

TB/OAK 1st half 23...2nd half 46

NE/STL Ist half 17...2nd half 20

BAL/NYG 1st half 10...2nd half 31

STL/TEN 1st half 9...2nd half 30

DEN/ATL 1st half 23...2nd half 30

Wagering 110.00 to win 100.00

Bettis for MVP now down to +450. I hope you got it while the getting was good.

Final prop play:

Will at least one quarter be scoreless Yes +210 (Olympic)

I feel like this has a great shot at hitting in the first quarter, much like the WAS/SEA game did. Both teams came out a little flat to start that game, which is expected when two defensive-minded teams meet. From all the quotes I have heard the Steelers plan on getting back to running the ball instead of opening up pass-wacky as they have in their last two playoff games.
The last two Super Bowls have had 3 scoreless quarters out of a possible 8. (37.5%)
NE - PHI 1st qtr scoreless
NE - CAR 1st & 3rd qtr scoreless

I'll bite at more than 2-1.

Risking $100.00 to win $210.00
