Copyright Bill Simmons, these are the SB prop bets I would have made if gambling were legal. Feel free to discuss your likes and dislikes about my picks, and/or any other props you have seen that you like:

1. First TD of the game: Aaron Rodgers (12/1)
1a. Ben Roethlisberger (18/1)
*Both teams have stout run defenses, neither QB is afraid to take off and dive for the pylon. Three rushing TD's between the two of them in the playoffs so far.

2. Game score UNDER 45 (-110)
*NO ONE seems to like the under. This is not always a bad thing.

3. Rashard Mendenhall will NOT score a TD (+110)
*see bets #1 and #1a.

4. Mike Wallace UNDER 66.5 yards receiving (even)
*I know they're playing on turf now... but A) The Packers have very good corners, and B) Wallace has 26 receiving yards in the playoffs so far. Yes, that's both games combined.

5. Packers OVER 76.5 rushing yards (-115)
*Hell, Rodgers alone should be good for about 35.

6. Aaron Rodgers WILL throw an INT (-150)
*I know he's the hottest QB on the planet, but if you can throw an INT-free game against THAT defense, which has had two weeks to prepare for you.... well, I'll just tip my cap to you then.

    Just be sure when signing up on a sports betting website and getting ready to place these bets, when they ask for your middle name...just type in "Sucker" because these prop bets are offered at roughly around a 15% to 40% house edge depending on the particular bet - sucker's bets indeed.

    These gambling websites are such good samaritans because some of them on the Super Bowl coin flip, offer that as an even money bet with no juice...isn't that just so nice of them? LOL

    Is there a prop bet that the Mets will lose more than 90 games? If so, I'm all over that one..image

    Well, once Wilpon is indicted for fraud, maybe the new owner can get us moving in the right direction again..

    I took Wallace getting more than 65 1/2, the over, Rodgers won't throw an interception, Rodgers over 272 1/2 and Jennings to catch the first reception of the game. Only loss was point difference in the game would be odd number- which it was at 3 until they kicked the field goal.
    Pretty impressed with Rodgers and his accomplishments throughout the year with all those injuries. IMO the best QB this year.

    Wow- you'd think that just by pure, blind luck I would have gotten ONE of them right. But nope. image
