Friday Five (Super Bowl XLIII version)
Since the Super Bowl is this Sunday I thought I would bring back the Friday Five with a football feel. Today I’m going to give you 5 prop bets that you can actually bet on for Sunday’s big game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. We’ll tally up how many you get right on Monday.
1) Coin will land: Heads or Tails?
2) Who will win the coin toss: Cardinals or Steelers?
3) Total number of punts by both teams: Over or Under 9 1/2?
4) Who scores first: Cardinals or Steelers?
5) Largest lead of the game: Over or Under 14 1/2?
And finally as a bonus question:
Prediction (w/ score):

“Men of Steel”?
Please, don’t tell me you’re a Steelers supporter. Can’t stand those guys.

Cool. I hate them too. Now even more so.

I should stick to college football prognosticating.
D.M.B. says RE: Mr. Wilson got 4 of February 2, 2009 at 11:20pm
I think I might do a college football score guess contest next year.
Mr. Wilson says RE: Mr. Wilson got 4 of February 2, 2009 at 9:10am
Iiiiiii am the champion, my friends! And Iiiiii’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end!
Why is it always the clueless guy who wins these things?
