    It's that time of year again with all of the crazy super bowl prop bets. What does everyone like this weekend?

    I took the Giants big on the money line at +130. Glad I took that right away since it is down to +115. I'm already in a $50 square pool and I'm sure I will have a bunch of strip cards going on the day of the game. Can't wait for Sunday...

    I think the books want to keep the line at 3. Giants are +3 at -125.

    One prop that I like is Hernandez over 67.5 receiving yards.

    Can't figure out why a bad Miami Ohio team is an 8 point favorite over a so so E. Michigan team, So I'm on E Mich +8 tonight.

    I'll get into the props later...lots to digest.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Betting on basketball is the worst. So many garbage baskets at end of games that end up deciding who covers the game. So frustrating...

    Basically betting if dudes who dont practice free throws can hit their free throws to cover a number.

    It was worth it to take the moneyline at +130 since I put up a pretty good amount of money. If I bet it today, I would prob just take the points.

    I gotcha..Do you happen to know what the gmen are at -3? I did a reverse spread with the saints against the colts and it worked out pretty well.

    I'm taking the Under(1:34) on Clarkson's National Anthem. Betting big she won't expose her bellybutton during it. And small that she won't omit or forget any words.

    Then I have Madonna performing without a hat, fishnets, or NFL shirt or jersey.

    He's +800 on my site...and yesterday I was told by someone who has a person in the know locally in the medical field that he is going to be "100%"...take it with a grain of salt, but this same person knew of Myra Kraft's health battle when the public was never alerted.

    I tried that a couple times and got burned. It's almost impossible to bet on the NBA this year....so unpredictable. Especially with this ridiculous schedule.

    Brady is the favorie at -125 on my site and The Goober is 2nd choice at +250 (not too bad a price if you think the GMen win), more fun to toss a small play on a player with high odds in my opinion.

    Its worked for me a couple times in the past , hit huge on Cole Hamels to be NLCS MVP the year the Phils won at +1800 (stupid me didn't play him in the WS cause his price dropped to +600 so I went with Lidge), and had Paul Pierce at +650 to be NBA finals MVP in 2008.

    At one point, teams in their third game were undefeated.
