Super Bowl Picks & Props


Two weeks of hype and we are finally ready for Super Bowl XLV from Cowboys Stadium on Sunday night. Who will win? Does it matter? Only if you have cold, wet, stinky cash on it. And why just bet the game when you can win money based on how long Christina Aguilera holds "brave" during the anthem or what will Fergie wear to start the halftime performance? Besse and I took it all in, and came up with the following props, as all as the winner of the game and MVP. Feel free to parlay!
