Speaker 1

Welcome players, You're welcome. Are It's time now Penny versus the Penny? That it is the final the swan song for Benny versus the Penny here in the the year twenty twenty, at least for this version of the twenty nineteen football season. The super Bowl edition of the radio show as what's not really radio show, it's the podcast I called the radio show. But it is Betty versus the Penny, the super Bowl fifty four edition, And I

will pick the game. Now. I've already talked about who I like in the game, but I'll give you my logic behind who I like, why I like the side I like in the super Bowl. But if we did that game, I've determined David Gascon, the voice of the Coin, that if I simply sat here in handicapped the super Bowl, I'd get about fifteen minutes maybe out of that. But my favorite part of the Super Bowl is the prop bets.

I love the they call it the exotic bets. I love the exotic bets because there are literally seventeen thousand, four nine ways to lose money betting on the Super Bowl. And the guys that run the casinos, I know some of these people that they're fans, you know, the fans of the show, and they've listened over the years, and I've talked to him personally, and they love it because even if they get the game wrong, even if they have the point spread completely wrong and there's too much

money on one side, the other side wins. They love the fact that they can still win money in the state of Nevada these other states now with just simply having these prop bets and people lose money on the coin toss, and I'm ever hearing a story I guess gone from already laying the comedian a degenerate gambler and he he would bet I think it was, if I remember correctly, like twenty five thousand dollars on the coin toss before the game even started, and he would lose

twenty five grand. It's just just crazy that kind of stuff. And people are cracked fans, right, so you know that they're not can have just a taste on the national anthem of the coin toss or the gatorade, they'll be action for a full sixty minutes, and then post game too, whether it's the Gatorade Shower, super Bowl, m VP, things of that nature. So you know, it's like pringles, right, you can never have just one. I think that's the best part about it is you're gonna get action across

the board. Now, one question I have for you before we get into our final edition of Benny Versus the Penny Um. Are we going to have a taste on on anything anything of significance in this game? Oh? Like, like, well, well of course, you know, a man to man. I mean, we're gonna have a lot of wagers, so you're actually like an actual wager in the game. As I feel really good about about what's like, what's all right? Well, how about this, I'll give my pick later and then

if we disagree, then we're in good shape. How about that? That would we disagree and we will make a wager and I will I will pay off. This will be a legitimate wager, unlike your your other wages which are are disingenuous and ridiculous and you're Charlottean I legit, straight

up bet on the Super Bowl. I will absolutely do that. Well, when you go through this too, I guess you're gonna identify what your favorite prop bet is because I got let me say, I love these things so much I used to do this on the radio, but you know, it takes a million hours to do it. We have we don't have the time to really do it the right way, but the podcast endless time. Any less time. We so I've made an executive decision to move the bit we used to do on the radio show for

the super p Ones here on on Benny Versus the Pen. No, No, what happens if we have to do a spiced up edition of Benny Versus a Penny, or like we require you to be in a suit or make up their studio lights, Like what happens if we if we ever go down that path, Well, if that happens. And people have brought this up, and I want to put this out very clear clearly that I'm not opposed to that. You know, I like radio and podcasting. Um, but I think it was the phrase everyone has a price, I

think was the phrase there. So I will put my church clothes on, or my case, my my temple clothes. I'll put those on and I'll you know, I'll take a shower, I'll clean up pretty nice, and I'll be very excited about So yeah, absolutely, I would you know, there's a big pot of gold there, I'm all four turn the lights on. You know, I'll even look at the camera every once in a while, which you're you know, you're only supposed to look up every once in a a while.

But but yeah, it'd be all about it, all right. Well, I'm excited about this for a couple of different reasons, and I'm also sad. For one reason, obviously, is because we've gone through sixteen weeks of regular season football. Then we went through the wild card division round and the championships Sundays. But uh, I'm excited about this because we get to close it out and style, but not only just one game, but as you mentioned, a laundry list of prop bets before we get to open and kick.

All right, So so let's get right is and now the key is for someone to keep tracking. I used to have this guy spin Mac, who doesn't listen anymore because he grew up and stopped doing the overnights. He got a real job during the day, growing up jobs during the day. He runs like an arena in Ohio. But but anyway, so, uh, he used to keep track, guest gun. He would he would keep track of the

beats for us. Now, well, I guess can we go what we'll trying to tell you that that that since he's not around, you're gonna have to do it, or someone else we have to deputize in the mallor militia, someone like maybe Skeeter in Montana, who I know does not listen to this podcast because it's a podcast. But we get somebody and get them to deputize themselves. We deputize them and then have them do this. So well, a couple of things you hit on in Championship Ships Sunday,

I'll refresh your memory. You did hit on Derrick Henry being are totally less than a hunter eighty yards, so yes, you hit on that. You hit on Ryan Tannehill having more yards than Derrick Henry. See you hit on that, um And you also hit on Ryan Tannehill having more or less than ninety yards in Tennessee won the game, which he did not do. So you hit on all three of those. Alright, See you look at that. You're actually beginning positively. I'm sure at some point you'll become

a narcissist, but right now you're doing good. All right, So here's some of the exotic bets. Now we'll go through as many as we can. We'll reach a certain point, we'll say enough of that. We gotta move on. We gotta get to the actual game itself. But these exotic bets I love so much. Now, there's a lot about Donald Trump. They try to cross over. If you're not I think most people listen to this are pretty regular gamblers.

But if you're a casual person dabbling and gambling, they like to mix in pop culture and politics, crossing over the super Bowl. And so there's a number of prop bets on President Trump. And and here's one total Donald Trump tweets on February second, Super Bowl Sunday. The over under is thirteen and a half. Now over is plus one thirty under is minus one seventy. So which way you're gonna go on this one? Man, this is tough, especially because it's the Sunday. I'm gonna go under. Yeah,

you know, under is the favorite. The only way I believe this would go over is if Nick Bosa has like six sacks because he's a Trumper. And if so, if Nick Bosa has a ridiculously good game, I could see Trump just going on and on, you know about how great uh nick boss? But but yeah, I think the smart money to safe play is under thirteen and a half. And the main reason why is because you know there's not gonna it's made people. It's it's a weird thing, like people are on Twitter during the game,

but are they really looking for President Trump's tweets? And you know you gotta go where the audience is. So I would say under thirteen and a half, although there's value at plus one thirty and over right, will Donald Trump attend the game? Yes is plus two forty five. No is minus three ninety. I think he got a bet on no, because if he was going to attend the game, there's so much planning, someone would have leaked something. The security, the extra security even for the Super Bowl

for a president attending. So I would say, no, he's not going to show up. And like Miami is that is that Trump theater? Florida is like a battleground state, right is it a Trump state or not? In Miami? I think he does better in northern Miami, you know, northern Florida rather than Miami. I mean mar La goes down there. And and also he didn't he change his residency from New York to Florida. That is true yeah,

that's right for tax reasons. Yeah, like Derek Jeter, so uh yeah, so I'm gonna say he will not show up, like you mentioned obviously with security detail and whatnot, so he'll stay away from the scene. Here's one that's the kicker of the right because he showed up in the National Championship Game. Yeah, well that was you know, that was college football. He does better with college football in the NFL. And it was in a Trump state, right, Louisiana. That was you know, your happy place. Why he won

Florida though, yeah he did, he did. But anyway, al right, will the win? These are actual exotic bets for Super Bowl fifty four? Will the winning team visit the White House? Will the winning team visit the White House? Yes? Is minus three hundred, No, his plus two hundred. Hasn't that been the trend lately? You know, hasn't that been the trend? I mean, but yes, it's not providing much value. Uh. The NBA are the ones that don't send anybody but football.

Even if they don't send a full I guess you don't have to send a full contingent, right, So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say, yes that that if the Niners win, Nick bos it will definitely do it. And then I think Andy Reid's like a closeted Trump guy or something like that, So I think the Chiefs will send and plus Missouri it's more Trump country than certainly California, so I think either way they will have a contingent that will visit the White House. So I'm gonna go

yes on that. What will happen to the price of bitcoin during the Super Bowl? Al Right, bitcoin price is is higher, it has gone up at the end of the game, that's minus one five. Bitcoins price is less at the end of the game, that would be minus one oh five. Now I don't know any bitcoin. Bitcoin is my my financial mistake, my great financial mistake in life. And we'll talk about this at some point on the other podcast. But I had an opportunity to get in

on bitcoin when it was a hundred dollars. I could have gotten some some bitcoin a hundred dollars, and I remember one of my relatives was telling me trying to sell me on this. You know, I felt like I'm I felt like I was being scammed, and so I was like, I'm not that's a scamp and I'm not doing it now. I'm not gonna touch it now that things that were like nine grand each or something like that. It's it's insane. But it keeps going up. So I will say, why would it not go up during the

Super Bowl game? So I will say it will go up. I'll take the favorite on that. I like to play the underdog, but I'll take I'll take bitcoins price going up by the end of the game at minus one. You want up over or under. I'm gonna say under, just to be Devil's advocate. You will take the other. What will the case be on on February second, at the SNP five market close? All right, so now this is the first day of the market. After the close, there the Chiefs if they win the Super Bowl. Uh,

there's Super Bow winners. The SNP five closes above the previous close, and you can do it for each of the teams. I don't need to walk through each scenario. But you know, Chief's win, Chiefs lose, um, you know, I guess. Actually it's it's just the winner. So Chiefs win, Does it close above? Chiefs win doesn't close below? There's forty nine or same thing? Does the SMP five hundred go down or go up depending on this. There's four

total wagers, but we'll do the each team in visually. Um, and it's totally spitballing, but I guess it depends on that the virus in China, right, isn't that that's kind of affected this more? The Super Bowl is not going to affect that. I will say, you get a little more juice that it closes below the previous number. So I'll take in both cases, the Chiefs and forty Niners.

I will take the the underdog here, so I will say plus two seventy five for the Chiefs that the market closes down and plus two eighty five forty Niners. All right, I'm gonna go the other way. I'm gonna say it's going up. I showed you a couple of days ago right to return. I've been rocking it. Here we go. Here's the narcissist part right here. Here's the narcissist rate of return over the past year, thirty one five percent. So I'm gonna go up. It has been

dominant for me. So all right, well, Mr Happy over there, you know you can't share my glory. Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio apps. All Right, these are actual prop bets, exotic bets super Bowl fifty four. These are the fun bets. I love these things that. Here's some more. Will Nike release a commercial with Colin Kaepernick during the

Super Bowl. This is known as being opportunistic. Not Kaepernick here really stepped in it and really upset a bunch of people recently with some of his comments. But I'm gonna I'm gonna go, well, see here, I was gonna go yes, because I think if you were Nike, why wouldn't you do it? But and yes is plus seven hundred boys? Are you getting some value for that? Okay, so let me ask you a quick question on this. Is it an ad that centralized around Kaepernick or is

it with Kaepernick in it at any moment? Yeah, it doesn't specifically say that. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they'll have a Nike will flash. I would say it doesn't specify, but I'm gonna go no. And I'm gonna know if two reasons. Okay, noose minus get no value on that. But I'm gonna bet no. And here's why. A. I I believe that Nike UH is they have to get these things approved by the NFL, the overlords of the NFL. So I would say the NFL would not

approve a Kaepernet commercial UH number two. And this is the main reason I would bet against this. It's it's got to be some kind of Kobe Bryant last minute commercial they put together. I would think of highlights of Kobe Bryant's life and trying to, you know, in a in a ghoulish way, capitalize on the morning process that so many people have been going through here that loved

the Kobe Bryant and Nike athletes. So I would say that the Nike commercial, even if they had it in the can, as they say in the business, they'll they will update it at the last minute, and it would be all about Kobe. I'd be shocked if it's not about Kobe the Nike commercials. So I'm gonna go no, ye, I'll go what that does, Well, you just piggybacked of my work there. It's a bad job by you. It's

a bad job by you. Here's one I and this is one of those things where you see this number and you're like, oh, holy crap, that really is the number? How many commercials will be run during the Super Bowl? Now, before I give you the over under, what do you think the number would be on on Super Bowl Sunday? How many commercials are run? So just for the sixty minutes of action? Yeah, from kickoff to the final buzzer. Damn,

that's tough, um, because what is it. It's ninety about summer, nineties, summer, thirties, summer. You know there's twenty second commercials. It's hard to get right, Um, a little super Bowl they're usually longer, right, But he's also gonna include halftime, which is a longer halftime show as well, Shakira, I'm gonna say the over under commercials will be I don't know what about fifty four? I just had a drink of water. By the way, did that sound bad? I just had a drink of water. No,

believe it or not. The over under he's ninety two and a half. Ninety two and a half. Have you talked about censory, overlord or overload for that nine? Now it's minus over minus one fifteen under. I'm gonna take the over man. This is a Marketer's dream. So it's all about the commercials. It's the one event a year in America where the commercials matter. That's true. Disney Plus and all these other streaming services Hulu to avoid the commercials as much as they can. But this is like

my my new example. My my brother in New York, my older brother and his his wife runs an advertising firm in Manhattan, and they watched them. They're not sports people, but they watched the game just for the commercials. I think a lot of people, you know, if we're going advertising or marketing whatever, but they're like that. So I'll take the over. Yeah, I like that too. Ninety two ads thoughts, I don't forget. I mean that obviously includes movie trailers, so I know there'll be a lot of

those coming out. They pay for those. Those aren't true, You got to pay for those. Alright. I'm moving on. These are exotic bets here which commercial will appear first? Audi or Porsche? M M, how do your Porsche? Favorite is Porsche at minus one sixty for of course the Volkswagen brand, and they've got Audi and Porsche. I'll take Audi wine Porsch should be number one. But I'm getting some value with Audie at plus one twenties. So I'll take I'll take Outie Man like that too. I'll go

all right, which commercial will appear first? Coca Cola or Soda Stream, which is a Pepsi product. Soda Stream I hates. You can make the soda your house, right, That's what trying to get people to do. My dad loves soda, by the way, he loves I gave soda up about fifteen years ago because it makes you fat. But my dad can't get enough soda. He loves it. Uh, what Coca Cola is? We'll both have a lot of money. If if Pepsi was smart, they'd be first. Pepsi is,

Soda Stream is favored. But you know, I'm gonna take Coca Cola even though Soda Stream's favorite. I'm getting even money. I mean there, and it's not great, but I'll take Coca Cola, all right. I'll go the other way with Pepsi Soda Stream, all right, So it's Soda Stream that brand, but it's Pepsi brand, all right. Which commercial will appear first? To go back to the political theater guest guard and

you're a political guy. The first Super Bowl political commercial will be a Donald Trump at minus two seventy for his reelection, or be Michael Bloomberg, who has been spending a gazillion dollars buying. Every time I turn on the TV, I see a Bloomberg commercial and it's it's fascinating. He's at plus one eight. I'm gonna gonna I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go with Bloomberg. Okay, I'm gonna take Trump,

and I'll tell you why. It's it's a Fox product, Okay, and Trump plus Trump will his people will spend whatever it takes. Not that Bloomberg wouldn't, but I think it's more important for Trump and the ego to be number one one, right, you want to be number one? And I'm sure Bloomberg this too, But I'm gonna take Trump that his commercial goes first. Okay, Uh do we I'm gonna skip over some of these because I mean we can do well. Here's the one, will do Mountain Dewer Toyota,

which ad shows up first? Mountain Dewer Toyota. Uh, they're both minus one fifteen, so there's no no favorite. I'll take Toyota. I'll go with Toyota. Yeah. I like Toyota as well. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, which commercial wi appear first? New York Life or Turbo Tax Tax seasons right around the corner, turbot Tax? All right, which commercial will appear? I will take New York Life.

They're the favorite, but I'll take them. Why not? Which commercial will appear first? Pop Tarts? They're doing a pop Tarts Supermore commercial. Holy crap, and Derrito's now pop Tarts. Pop Tarts is a Kellogg's product. Derritos is a Frito Lay product. De Rito's is the overwhelming favorite. They usually spend so much and they have these amazing Super Bowl commerce. But I just like the fact that there's a pop Tart commercial, so I'm gonna take I used to love

pop Tarts. That's one of the reasons I got so fat when I was a kid. I love those pop tarts. I would make too many of them, but I I will. I will go with the pop Tarts sentimental reasons. I'm gonna go with Derito's. At the party man, plus Deritos, they get that whole like Ranch, you know, Ranch Derito thing, which I don't like. You know, I'm anti range and they're trying to promote range. All right, moving on, here's some other game related props. These are actual prop bits

from Super Bowl fifty four. Will Andy Reid coach the Super Bowl in ha Hawaiian shirt, his trademark Hawaiian shirt. Is that going to happen? One are the yes and knows? I'm gonna I'm gonna say here that well, yes, it is plus fourteen hundred nos minus one thousand or minus ten thousand. Actually so much chuck. Yeah, there's a lot of show uck. But I don't think you're allowed to coach the game. And I think he has to wear

his usual outfit. What if he goes like full Mike Nolan and just dressed up, dresses up in a suit. Can't do that either, strict Yeah, I think they put another dress, they put the dress code back, and then you have to wear like that, some kind of team gear. But I think he's got a Hawaiian shirt with the Chiefs logo on it. I'd love for him. You know, I'll put a cap. I'm not put a big, big wage. I'll put a couple bucks. He wears a wine shirt just because I think he should wear a wine shirt.

Not that he will, but I think he should. Here's one. Now, this is great. Well, Andy Reid eat a cheeseburger before the end of the super Bowl broadcast. You can bet on this. Yes, is plus twelve d No, his MINEUS seventy five hundred dollars. Wellhy I would be given away who I like? So, but it doesn't matter. For the sake of this, I'll say no, he will not. Yeah, yeah, I mean no, he's gonna pull a Mark Salmon w Mark Sanchez, the old quarterback, got the got the delio.

He's eating the cheeseburger on the on the side, remember that whole thing. Yeah? Um, but but no, uh yeah, I mean that's not I mean, in what scenario it was, you know, some assistant he's really hungry and they're gonna give him a burger on a on a silver platter, you know, third quarter, start of the fourth. But you said Superbowl broadcast, so that also includes post game? Yeah? No, it' says before the end of the super Bowl broadcast. And does that include postgame or is that just the I

think that goes into the postgame ceremony. I think it goes in a trophy presentation m v P, and then post that that was a possibility that some some opportunists will like Carrot Top will show up with a on on Fox with a silver platter of a cheeseburger and say, Andy, here's your victory cheeseburger. Which coach will be mentioned first? This is a traditional one, Andy Reid at minus one or Kyle Shanahan plus one fifteen? Doesn't this depend who's

getting the ball first? Because don't they usually show the head coach, like, yeah, the forty Niners are on offense. There's Kyle Shanahan whose last Super Bowl experience he lost the three lead. I could see Joe Buck saying some something like that, right, but and he reads the favorite at minus one fifty five. But I'll take Kyle shann and just because I believe it depends on who gets the ball first, and there's a fifty fifty chance on that,

So I'll take Shanahan. I'll go with Andy Reid. Okay, Well, David Portnoy, you know what David Portnoy is. There's a prop bet about David Portnoy. He runs bar stool, will he get kicked out of the Super Bowl. You can bet on this. It's it's been a tradition here. He has battles with the NFL people. Yes is plus six fifty, No is minus. I'm gonna go no, Yeah, you gotta go no. I think the only way to go on

this is no plus. The Patriots aren't playing. Isn't he a big Patriot guy from what I understand, So I'm gonna go No. Do we care about the lique color of the liquid that's poured on the winning coach the Super Bowl? I think it'd be fascinating because you have two teams that are both red, but there's also a little bit of gold and orange, and um, well, you can bet there's every color in the rainbow pretty much

along here. You got clear with just water like ice water or just waters plus six hundred, lime or green or yellow. They you get value on that lime, green or yellow plus two fifty. That's the that's not the favor. Actually, red is the favorite, I believe, and plus one five you've got purple, blue and orange or the other possibilities. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go lime, green, yellow, I'm gonna go. I think there's value in that because it's kind of like three different colors in one and yeah,

I'm gonna I'm gonna lime, green, yellow. Huh yeah, is there blue in there now? Yeah? Blues plus plus six fifty going big. That's the biggest underdog is the blue, and you're taking the big underdog there. Yeah, alright, let's see what else do we have? You know, I do a couple more of these. This is always a fun one too. It's been around for years. On the exotic bets, Who will the Super Bowl? M v P mentioned first

in his speech. Now, the options are teammates, God, family, or family member, city, coach, owner, and then you can also bet that the person does not mention any of the above. So none of the above. Yeah, now, teammates is favored, but if it's a really religious person, we'll get a glory to God. So I'm going God. I'm playing the God card here. I believe we will get the Super Bowl. M VP will thank God before teammates, coach, city owner, family, going God. I'm gonna go. I'm on

the God squad. I'm gonna go coach coach. Yeah, I'm gonna like yeah, Patrick Mahomes, we did it for Andy Reid something like that, or of course if you get if you get both, and he starts chanting, obviously, what's what the defensive coordinator's name, Robert Slay, Yeah, Sally or something. Yeah. So I'm gonna go coach, all right, Coach is plus five hundred, there's some value in that, but I'm taking God,

I'm getting plus two fifty. It would be great if they were just they didn't mention anybody, and they just total narcissist And I'd like to thank myself for being good will. The Fox broadcast mentioned the point spread or total during the broadcast. Now, yes, it is plus one thirty five. No, his minus two twenty. Now I'm gonna

go yes, And I'll tell you why. I know it's taboo for the NFL and all that they don't like the gambling in the Super Bowl, but Fox has their own gambling website where their partners with Right, so they've been running commercials all footballs, and so I'm gonna go yes that Joe Buck will mention and he'll slick, He'll be slick. He'll like mention a pro bow for the gambling site that they have. And I saw the line on the Fox gambling app that you know, the Chiefs

were favored by one and worked at it. So I'll go yes. Yeah, I'll go yes as well. I like that Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. Will a fan run onto the field during the game? Jeez, I can imagine. No, it's probably what like minus ten thousand

minus twelve hundred. Yes, is plus six hundred. There is that famous guy from Europe that goes around and is able to wear a trench coat and then runs all over the field covering his junk with some game ling websites that remember that guy a couple years ago, I was doing that, Remember that gambling website that he wanted people to go to. Yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna give I'm gonna put my faith in Super Bowl security and believe these people will do their jobs. So

I'll go plus six hundred. Maybe morgana the Kissing bandit will come back. She's like eighty, but maybe she'll run back across the field and and all that for sentimental sakes, uh? Will any player proposed to his girlfriend on the field after the game. That has happened. It doesn't always get on TV. Has happened after several Super Bowls. Yes is plus five fifty. No' is minus a thousand. I'm gonna say no, I'll take yes. Why not. There's some guy

on the Chiefs. It's like, I'm waiting to win the Super Bowl and I want to get on the knee right after the game, and I go yes, Yeah, I'll go yes six and value in that. Uh, here's a fun one. Will any player be arrested in Miami after the game in these celebratory moments after the game? Now is minus two thousand for obvious reasons, Yes, plus seven fifty. Now.

We mentioned this on the radio the other night. Guest gun that of all the cities, all the metro areas in the United States, Miami is number one over the last twenty years for players being arrested. More NFL players have been arrested in Miami than in any other city in the United States. So you're getting some value in that department. But you know it's after the game. Does that does that just that night or could it be like Monday or Tuesday? They hang around and get you know,

you know what I'm saying. Uh, that's said, I'm gonna bet. No, Yeah, I'll go and know as well. If it was before the Super Bowl, I might be venturing off and saying, yes, will Joe Bucker Troy Aikman say Patriots now is plus two hundred? Yes, is minus three hundred. Absolutely, he's gonna because Jimmy Garoppolo was Tom Brady's back up with the Patriots. Bull done you win the bet? Right? Oh? Man? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, he's of course he's gonna say the

word Patriots. Uh. Then there's a bet on the largest wager by Floyd Mayweather under one million or over one million. Under is obviously the favorite at minus four fifty. Now, the only way we'll know this is if Mayweather wins the bet. He does not promote lost wages. Correct, that's correct, So I don't I think he's submitted tickets before. Yeah, we'll use this stuff now because the casino will leak. Hey, I got a million dollars from Mayweather and yeah that's true.

So you're gonna go You're gonna go under. Yeah, I'm gonna go onto. I mean, why would you bet a million dollars on this game. He come on because he can I know, but it's ridiculous. Uh, what you're what do you take it? I'm gonna go over just to be over, Yeah, just to be a contrarian. He's got the juice, all right. It's a it's a short line anyway, it's what what is? I mean? You pretty much just like a pick him. So it's pretty much a pick him at one point. I mean the odds of the

game ending at one point or minute. Our largest wage you're taken via Nevada Sports Book over two million, under two million. I'll take under. I'm gonna take under the it's minus one for each, but I'll just take under you. Yeah, I'll go under, all right, I really John three sixteen banner or signed be shown on the Super Bowl broadcast. No is minus five hundred, Yes is plus two hundred. Now I'm gonna take no, I'm gonna take yes. Actually.

Uh and let me tell you why, because the way you get this band and on the on the broadcast is when they're they're kicking a field goal and an extra point, you know that wide shot behind the kicker, and some guys, you know, some religious guy pulls up a John three sixteen signed Boom, I win the bat. So I'm gonna take that. It's hard to get that's contraband. It's hard to get that in right, hard to get that into the in the stadium. But if you to get it in, but then to drape it like that

full length, yeah, that's true. It might just have to be like like, uh, you hold it up a blanket with a couple other guys, get them involved in it. Uh, let's see here. I have a couple more. Now, the prop bet that we submit, there's a there's a few of these here. Some of these I had nothing to do with. And I'll give you the one that our show. Our show provided. These were for charity. They had a contest to submit prop bets. And these are actual bets.

You can wager. Will Joe Buck mentioned his dad Jack, who also was broadcasting Super Bowls. You can bet on that. I I'm gonna go yes. At some point he will mention his old man. So I don't have the line particularly on this, but you can. These are actual bets. I'll say he does. I'm alright. Let's see here, what will be higher after Super Bowl fifty two? Patrick mahomes passing yards or George Brett's career batting average, or you

can use career home runs. What did he finish? A three oh five was his career batting average, and he had three and in seventeen home runs. So you're basically saying, is my home is gonna be over three seventeen or under? You know, because there's like twelve yards difference. I think we go back to the way the Super Bowl had been for a few years where it was a lot of offense, even though the forty Niners have a good defense.

So I think Casey's gonna score around thirty points. So I will take the over because they're not gonna be able to run the ball. So I'm gonna take the over. Yeah, I'll go with that too. That's a good call. Uh, here's one will they will they show the Andy Reid punt pass and kick photo or video during the broadcast. This is you gotta show it, right, This is what Andy's known for, and they want to you know, family affairs. Super Bowl kids are watching, so I'm gonna go they

definitely show the video. Yeah, I'm going to will a hail Mary be attempted? Will the hell Mary be attend, I'll be yeah, right before halftime, you know why not? Boom? Yeah, I'll go with that too. Will Fox show footage of Jimmy Garoppolo at a Super Bowl as Tom Brady's backup. No, yeah, I'm gonna go knowing this too. I don't think that's gonna happen. How many times will they mentioned Andy Reid has gone fifteen years between Super Bowls at least twice.

I'm gonna go twice. I don't know if the line is on the over under, but i'll take at least I'll take two over. To a number of replay review predictions, Mike Pereira gets wrong over under one and a half, I'll take the under. Great, Yeah, I'll go under as well. He's really sharp. Yeah, he knows this, he knows his ship higher number Patrick Mahomes passing yards or tiger Woods total strokes at the Masters in here. Uh, let's see that's the one course. Tigers still great at the man Stas. Uh.

I'll take Mahomes. Yeah, Mahomes, Well, Patrick Mahomes have more total yards than his dad had career strikeouts. His the father relief picture for the Twins and some other teams and the Mets uh and his career strikeout toll. It was four and fifty two for the original Pat mahomes Uh. Yeah, he's not gonna totally yards, so that's running and throwing obviously, but I'm gonna go under that. Yeah. And here's the one that was submitted by us. That one, and this

is actual prop you can bet on. I think Manic Mike, our guy from Nashville, submitted this one. Possibly some other people also. But how many times will the fact that the Super Bowl is on Groundhog Day be mentioned? And there's a number you can bet I I think it will be mentioned one time. So I think it'll just

be one time that it will be mentioned. But why not? Yeah, it is a cultural event in America, the Swallows returning to Capistrano and Punksutani Phil seeing his shadow or not seeing his shadow, So I say they will at least mention it one time. You agree, Yeah, I agree on that too. Alright, let's get to the game. What do you say? Let's get to the game? All right? Super Bowl fifty four Santa Clara thirteen and three versus Kansas

City at twelve and four during the regular season. Now, the line opened the Chiefs by one and a half. It is currently as we are talking here in real time at minus one. The weather mostly sunny and nice give me seventy one degrees at kickoff, or so they say at hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The money is relatively easy or even rather, which tells you that there's no the public is not just running to one side here,

you know. Usually it's a little more swayed that it's like fifty two or fifty three percent the last I saw on the Chiefs, So it's a little more on the favorite, but not much to one point line essentially, and pick him and I will take Can'sah City, take the Chiefs here to win Super Bowl fifty four, and Andy Reid to have the largest cheeseburger on God's Green

Earth when he gets back to Kansas City. But a couple of reasons why A. My main concern for the forty Niners is can they win without Jimmy Garoppolo having a massive impact or footprint on this game? Now, common sense tells you there's no way. Now I realized they've been able to get away with this lately. The forty Niners have a wonderful defense. Uh, and that's great and all that stuff, but nobody has yet to completely slow down Mahomes in a couple of years as a starting quarterback.

This express train is, it's the bullet train for Mahomes. Even when he loses, he still puts up numbers and points and all that. Entering the Super Bowl. Lookally so, Jimmy Garoppolo, he will have thrown one touchdown pass in forty two days, over a month, almost a month and a half. Now was in the division you'll playoff against the Vikings, and going back to week fifteen of the regular season, this guy Garoppolo, Jimmy g he has thrown

one first half touchdown in the last five games. So it's you know, typically you don't do much early in the game. You know you're gonna win the Super Bowl, you'd like to play well in the first half. It makes the degree of difficulty goes up when you're trailing going to the second half of the game. Um So now listen. It certainly is helpful. It's it's helpful that

the forty Niners have that defense. But the Chiefs, if you're the Chiefs defense, they just contained Derrick Henry, the greatest running back in football, and they shut him down, bottle him up. Part of that was because the Titans went away from him, but they still slowed him down. He wasn't running wild um and you know, and so that was an arrowhead. Now to focus, you focus on

the running game. When you play the forty Nights. You want Jimmy Garoppolo to have to make plays, not that he can't, but you'd rather have to put the pressure on Garoppolo then the running game, because that's the meat and potatoes of the forty Niners approach and Santa Clara, their whole mindset here going into the forty Niners believe they can win this because of blocking and tackling, right,

the rudimentary fundamentals of football. And then if it comes down to trans warfare, they're gonna win the offensive line versus the Chiefs defensive line. They're gonna win defense versus offensive line. Now, if right, then they will absolutely be in the Winter Circle. I believe it will not go that way. I'm gonna go the other side has said with Kansas City, and and this is one of those deals.

If you were making a a movie trailer for the Super Bowl, you said, what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object, because Mahomes has been unstoppable of late, and the forty Niners defense has been immovable led by Nick Bosa and friends up front. But I like the Chiefs mainly because of Grover Patrick Mahomes, even though he's won an end ep guiding a super Bowl winner and being a central figure uh in in that. You know, obviously being in one of the top players in the NFL,

but it's different. It's different when you are in the super Bowl and you perform well. Now, the super Bowl as a team event, but if you are leading the way, it's a little bit of a different aura around you. It would take a radical change to see Patrick Mahomes

play like Puke and I can think of this. I like his bar mitzvah he he becomes a fully immersed in the NFL hierarchy with this particular game, and I'm sure I got to enjoy this because eventually I'll end up hating Patrick Mahomes, which almost always happens with these guys once they get voted on by the football establishment. So there will be a passing of the baton here.

And as far as the cliche good defense beats good offense. Uh, that's great, But there's also another old proverb that probably rather than says, when you when you have the better quarterback, you win eight of the time. So the one anomaly, and I I I put this disclaimer on all this, The one anomaly which you cannot handicap in most cases is the scale of choke. And certain guys get so emotional, they become agitated, they're confused by the moment, moment's too big.

They take a ride on the vomit comet. And I'm not I'm not saying I don't think Mahomes has that in him. I would say between the quarterbacks, I would bet more on Garoppolo than I would on Patrick Mahomes. But there's no obvious signs of any of these guys having stage fright and getting flop sweat and all that um. But it's it's one of those things that it's it's

very difficult to foreshadow that kind of thing. So give me Kansas City barbecue, the z Man sandwich of Kansas City, Joe's over that famous sour dough bread in the Bay Area of San Francisco. So I will take the Chiefs thirty forty niners seven. Last way, we end this thing in style, and the penny is going San Francisco. Who do you like? You said at the beginning of this nonsense that you liked a certain side, So which side do you like? I also like Santa Clara? You do?

All right, let's make a way, Jo, I'm gonna take the Chiefs. Well, we'll do a legit taco meal at Tito's Tacos, my favorite taco establishment. We're gonna make a wager on that nice meal. Whoa or or I'll take you you have that option, Or I'll take you to Santa Anita as my date. Santa Anita sounds pretty fun. Bet the ponies? What do we bet? We bet the ponies that live or the ponies that die. Wow, we

can make our own little bets. We have our own exotic prop bets, like which horse he thinks most likely to die in this race? I'll take the number six, the exotic version of NFL book him. That's the It's like this the Google pool. You know some people some people do. But yeah, all right, remember Sanity. You've been to Sanity before? Yeah, I've been to san twice. Yeah, it's nice. Let's do standa needed then, so, um yeah, I like San Francisco straight up. Okay, all right, that's fine,

you don't even need the point. I'll take Kansas City and I'll lay the point that you know, this not goond a matter of the point spread, it won't matter. All right, we'll put the baby to bed. This has been a lot of fun here doing this all year. The downloads have been good. We gotta get even better

though next year. So here on this bend, since we've laid out a lot and we're active on social media, I would like to make a request for anyone that partakes in any of the exotics or the games straight up or even with the total because a lot of people like the over under tootal in this game. Um, I think it'd be appropriate if they could send a snapshot not of the money that they weighed, but the actual bet that they took and tag us in it if they can. Yeah, and we can retweeter it out.

All right, we're very good. All right, So well that's the that's the deal. Yeah, if you can do that, help us out do us a solid, that would be very nice. Listen, have a great wee can We'll be back doing this, I would think, and barring some kind of raunforeseen change here right here on the podcast next season. But it might be even bigger and better. You never know, uh for next year. But but have a great we can enjoy the super Bowl. Be safe, be careful cutting

your avocados. We don't want you to get hurt there, Be careful on that. Eat a lot of food, and there are no calories on Super Bowl Sunday. Calaries do not count on Super Bowl Sunday, so eat whatever you want. Enjoy life. As we all learned recently, life is you never know when it's gonna end, so you might as well enjoy the hell out of it, all right, Thank you, guess don I appreciate it, man, it was a lot of fun here in twenty nine, huge year for you.

Start off right now. We'll see what happens when it's crunch time. All right, Thanks, have a good weekend.
