Yes, You Can Bet On Just About Everything In Super Bowl 49
They say you can bet on just about anything in Las Vegas, especially when it comes to the Super Bowl. Yes, anything. Literally.
The Las Vegas Sun has published the list on everything you can bet on when it comes to Super Bowl 49 next weekend. Of course, there's who's going to win -- that's nothing compared to betting on:
- Any number of alternate point spreads
- Opening coin toss
- Will either team score in the first 6 1/2 minutes
- Will either team score three straight times
- Will either team score in the final two minutes of the first half
- Will either team score in the final three and a half minutes of the game
- The team that will have the first penalty (declined penalties don't county, sorry)
- Most penalty yards
- Will both teams make 33-yard or longer field goals
- Total quarterback sacks
- Team to use their coaches challenge first
- Will Tom Brady's first pass be complete or incomplete or will Tom Brady throw an interception
- Any number of players doing any number of things (first rushing attempt, first reception, first gross punt, etc.)
- Shortest touchdown of the game
- Will either team score four straight times
- Team to score first, team to score last
- Longest field goal, shortest field goal, total number of field goals, distance of first made field goal of the game, total yardage of all made field goals
- Will either team make a field goal in the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter
- What will the first score of the game be (touchdown, field goal, etc.)
- Total number of touchdowns
- Will [Seattle / New England] score a touchdown in the first, second, third, or fourth quarter
- Largest lead of the game
- Total number of kickoffs returned
- Team to score last in the first half

...and that's just the start of the list! You can bet on rushing yards, passing yards, longest completion, total number of points scored by a certain player, total number of first downs, what certain situations will happen first, total solo and assisted sacks or tackles, and more!
And if that's not enough, there's a big golf tournament on Super Bowl Sunday and you can bet just about everything there, too.
