The Super Bowl isn't awesome just because it's a culmination of a season's worth of NFL action, though it is awesome for that reason. It's also awesome because everyone you know ends up gambling on the game in some form or fashion.
Super Bowl parties fill up with those square games and the true degenerates among us lay money on stupid things like "What color will Beyonce's shirt be at the beginning of the halftime show?"
Here is a list of some of the prop bets for this year's Super Bowl
