It’s just three days till Super Bowl LIV.   Will Kansas City, favored by 1 and 1/2 points, score enough to defeat San Francisco and it’s Gold Rush defense?  You can bet either side of that of course.  But, did you know that you can bet on a few, well, um, interesting novelty propositions before and during the game as well?

Sports gambling has entered a new era with the legalization federally of sportsbooks by state if the state so chooses.   And, speaking of a new era, check out these opportunities to get rich quick below.

1.  The National Anthem Bet–  Will two time Grammy Award winner Demi Lovato sing the national anthem in under/over 2 minutes and 4 and 1/2 seconds? All of Lovato’s six previous national anthem performances lasted under two minutes, with the exception of her rendition at the Mayweather-McGregor bout, which rang in at 2:11.   We’ll take the under and hope that Demi doesn’t inhale too deeply prior to “home of the brave.”
2.  The Gatorade Bet- If Gatorade is dumped on the winning head coach will it be red/clear for +$150, or any other color for -$200? We’ll take any other color.  Red would match either coach’s garb in all likelihood, so it should be considered.  Though Andy Reid looks to BBR as no slave to fashion.
3. The TD Toss Bet- Will any player who scores a TD throw the ball into the stands?  It’s +$150 that one does, and -$200 that he keeps the keepsake all for himself.  We’ll take the toss into the stands.  We’re counting on a decked out fan begging for the ball, or a nearby mom, or a multiple TD game from a participant.
4. The Total Weight of Player’s Scoring TD’s Bet-  Will 1399 and 1/2 pounds of combined humans score touchdowns or less?  It’s an expensive -$120 to take either side of the poundage.  Careful, if one player scores more than once his weight is only counted once.  We’ll take under the weight total and hope like heck that no lineman scoop and score.  Someone in Vegas actually decided that 1399 and 1/2 was the proper total.  This ensures a loser and a winner, thereby making the $20 vig a nice winner for them and a loser for John Q. Public.
5. The J Lo Butt Cleavage Bet-  We aren’t making this up.  It’s +$190 that she does and -$280 that she doesn’t.  The prop bet recognizes plumber crack or the reverse butt cleavage as a YES.  We still aren’t making this up.  We’ll go no butt cleavage betting that the Janet Jackson “accident” has been reviewed with Ms. J Lo and approved by Alex Rodriguez.  We’re also hoping, really hoping, that Andy Reid remembers his belt.  But, we digress.

Your predictions are welcome in the comments.  Your butt cleavage is not.
