While there’s nothing wrong with betting on a team to cover or hammering the over, I’d argue that if you wager on the Super Bowl without placing at least one prop bet, you didn’t really wager on the Super Bowl at all. Sure, it can be fun to try your luck by buying some boxes in an office pool or at a Super Bowl party, but thanks to the number of states that have legalized sports betting in recent years, it’s now easier than ever to get in on the action (and have a way to soften the blow when the person who tells everyone to shut up when the commercials come on inevitably hits the final score jackpot).
