Frank:
just curious, did you make some of these up? are there odds associated with them? are they posted at any sportsbook?
thanks
January 28, 2008
Jeff:
Frank,
Except for the line and the points over/under, I made most of these up, but I’m sure the same or similar items are on most major sports books. As far as odds go, I can’t say for sure, but I’m sure if you look, you can find somewhere to bet on about anything that goes on during the Super Bowl.
