Thus I have a little extra money to gamble on Super Bowl prop bets for the big game on Sunday. So here are 5 great prop and otherwise bets and 7 fun/I have a gambling problem bets that I will be wagering on this weekend.

So let’s put these songs head-to-head in a fight song rap battle of Super proportions. Continue reading
