PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Sure, the game is great, but it's often ranked third in importance when talking about the Super Bowl, behind the commercials and the outrageous prop bets.
Bovada, an off-shore sports book, has provided us with an updated list of odds and prop bets (for where this is legal, otherwise for entertainment purposes only, of course).
"The National Anthem length has been far more difficult to handicap this year than previous years with Alicia Keys saying she is singing her own version," Kevin Bradley, sports book manager for Bovada said. "Therefore, we went a little high at 2:15, but with two thirds of the money on the under I dropped it to 2:10 and now we're seeing money on both sides. The MVP odds are always really popular, Patrick Willis has seen a lot of interest dropping him from 66-1 to 40-1, even Alex Smith at 100-1 took so much action I had to drop him to 75-1. From a volume perspective, both quarterback are leading the way in bets."
