What does an unguarded case of beer + R.E.M.’s  Automatic For the People + internet proposition bets equal?  Like sound advice to take if you read this early enough in the morning to contact your local bookie thats what.

The big game is tomorrow night… my plans to watch Super Bowl 44 have sorta gone up in smoke.  I have a standing invite to head out to Donald’s place to watch the game but I’m not really sure if I’m up for the drive across town when I could just as easily get bombed at home and watch it in HD and pee freely in the backyard with Elliot.

Pulled up Bodog.com today just to see what the lines have settled in at and here are my picks…

Spread :  Colts (-6, -115) / Saints (+6, -105)

If you were lucky enough to pick up the Colts spread at -3 or -4  points, you gotta really like those odds.  I see the Colts covering that easy…  I’m not however recommending that you pick them up giving 6 or 5.5 where the line appears to be on Super Bowl eve.

Verdict : Sucks Wang

Money Line : Colts (-180) / Saints (+160)

I’ve been listening to sports podcasts all week and I’ve heard the money line at -220 for the Colts and it sounded like that was a sound bet.   If you can get the Colts tonight at -180, Super Bowl eve : me thinks that the one you gotta run with.  If you’re looking to cheer the Saints on, I’ve seen the Colts +185 on a few sites.

Verdict : Rocks Wang

Over/Under : 56 1/2  (-110)

Not a big fan of placing Over/Under bets…  If this moves up more than an point, I would seriously consider the under.  I have a feeling that the public money will go on the over, with people betting with their hearts (not heads) on seeing a shoot out.

Verdict : Stay Away  (Saint fans should bet the over… If you’re betting Saints +6, go whole hog and get the over)

Will a member of the WHO smash a guitar on the stage :  +155

I just saw that this prop bet has closed to betting…  My guess is that someone bothered to look up when Pete smashed a guitar on stage and put this line at a tasty +155.  I once saw Pete get mad, when asked why he smashed guitars.  He said something to the effect that he was setting them free… that the instruments failed him in one way or another.  I’m feeling pretty good that he’s gonna smash the shit out of something.

Verdict : If you put down a hundred on this, I’m thinking you’re about to make the easiest 155 of your life .

Over/Under, How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the National Anthem? :  1 minute 42 seconds (+135 on the under)

I’ve made a small killing betting the under on the national anthem against my family in recent years but I don’t recall one being this close to the 1:40 mark…

Verdict : Stay Away

What Color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the Winning Super Bowl Team?

There’s a number of colors to choose from… I’m not going to list them because its silly for the most part but I wanted to share two colors and odds that I think are pretty tasty.

Verdict : If you’re wagering on this, you seriously have a problem…. You gotta love  11/2 odds on Orange Gatorade.
