Super Bowl bets

I was just looking over the prop bets for the Super Bowl -- 100 to 1 odds that the Bears score exactly 39 points sounds like a good $10 bet to me, as does the 20 to 1 odds that Muhsin Muhammad wins the MVP award. But it got me thinking that they really should offer better options on these side bets...

Odds Bets
A third-quarter holding call by the ref robs one of the teams of the game:
ODDS -- 3 to 1

RB Fred Taylor gets injured on the first play, even though he's not in the game:
ODDS -- 4 to 1

After winning, the Bears dedicate the trophy to the city of New Orleans:
ODDS -- 10 to 1

The halftime show will be good, because it involved Prince:
ODDS -- 100 to 1

No one mentions Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are black until the 4th Q:
ODDS -- 200 to 1

The Colts' inspirational locker room speech includes special guest Barbaro:
ODDS -- 300 to 1

Phil Simms gives articulate and intelligent commentary throughout the game:
ODDS -- 1000 to 1


Over/Under Bets
Total number of Peyton Manning commercials:
O/U -- 17.5

Total funny Peyton Manning commercials:
O/U -- 1.5

Total number of Chunky soup commercials:
O/U -- 9.5

Total Chunky commercials featuring McNabb puking
O/U -- 0.5

Total cutaway shots of Eli Manning
O/U -- 7.5

Total cutaway shots of Eli Manning looking dopey
O/U -- 7.5

Hey Captn
You forgot one. The odds are even 1:1 that the names, Bill Parcels, Jerry Jones and TO will mentioned in the same paragraph by the end of the first half. Satan has a way of working himself into the Super Bowl conversation.
