Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome players, You're welcome. Are It's time now Penny versus
the Penny? That it is the final the swan song
for Benny versus the Penny here in the the year
twenty twenty, at least for this version of the twenty
(00:21):
nineteen football season. The super Bowl edition of the radio
show as what's not really radio show, it's the podcast
I called the radio show. But it is Betty versus
the Penny, the super Bowl fifty four edition, And I
will pick the game. Now. I've already talked about who
I like in the game, but I'll give you my
logic behind who I like, why I like the side
(00:42):
I like in the super Bowl. But if we did
that game, I've determined David Gascon, the voice of the Coin,
that if I simply sat here in handicapped the super Bowl,
I'd get about fifteen minutes maybe out of that. But
my favorite part of the Super Bowl is the prop bets.
I love the they call it the exotic bets. I
(01:03):
love the exotic bets because there are literally seventeen thousand,
four nine ways to lose money betting on the Super Bowl.
And the guys that run the casinos, I know some
of these people that they're fans, you know, the fans
of the show, and they've listened over the years, and
I've talked to him personally, and they love it because
even if they get the game wrong, even if they
(01:24):
have the point spread completely wrong and there's too much
money on one side, the other side wins. They love
the fact that they can still win money in the
state of Nevada these other states now with just simply
having these prop bets and people lose money on the
coin toss, and I'm ever hearing a story I guess
gone from already laying the comedian a degenerate gambler and
(01:45):
he he would bet I think it was, if I
remember correctly, like twenty five thousand dollars on the coin
toss before the game even started, and he would lose
twenty five grand. It's just just crazy that kind of stuff.
And people are cracked fans, right, so you know that
they're not can have just a taste on the national
anthem of the coin toss or the gatorade, they'll be
action for a full sixty minutes, and then post game too,
(02:09):
whether it's the Gatorade Shower, super Bowl, m VP, things
of that nature. So you know, it's like pringles, right,
you can never have just one. I think that's the
best part about it is you're gonna get action across
the board. Now, one question I have for you before
we get into our final edition of Benny Versus the
Penny Um. Are we going to have a taste on
(02:30):
on anything anything of significance in this game? Oh? Like, like, well,
well of course, you know, a man to man. I mean,
we're gonna have a lot of wagers, so you're actually
like an actual wager in the game. As I feel
really good about about what's like, what's all right? Well,
how about this, I'll give my pick later and then
if we disagree, then we're in good shape. How about that?
(02:53):
That would we disagree and we will make a wager
and I will I will pay off. This will be
a legitimate wager, unlike your your other wages which are
are disingenuous and ridiculous and you're Charlottean I legit, straight
up bet on the Super Bowl. I will absolutely do that. Well,
when you go through this too, I guess you're gonna
identify what your favorite prop bet is because I got
(03:15):
let me say, I love these things so much I
used to do this on the radio, but you know,
it takes a million hours to do it. We have
we don't have the time to really do it the
right way, but the podcast endless time. Any less time.
We so I've made an executive decision to move the
bit we used to do on the radio show for
the super p Ones here on on Benny Versus the Pen. No, No,
(03:36):
what happens if we have to do a spiced up
edition of Benny Versus a Penny, or like we require
you to be in a suit or make up their
studio lights, Like what happens if we if we ever
go down that path, Well, if that happens. And people
have brought this up, and I want to put this
out very clear clearly that I'm not opposed to that.
(03:58):
You know, I like radio and podcasting. Um, but I
think it was the phrase everyone has a price, I
think was the phrase there. So I will put my
church clothes on, or my case, my my temple clothes.
I'll put those on and I'll you know, I'll take
a shower, I'll clean up pretty nice, and I'll be
very excited about So yeah, absolutely, I would you know,
(04:20):
there's a big pot of gold there, I'm all four
turn the lights on. You know, I'll even look at
the camera every once in a while, which you're you know,
you're only supposed to look up every once in a a while.
But but yeah, it'd be all about it, all right. Well,
I'm excited about this for a couple of different reasons,
and I'm also sad. For one reason, obviously, is because
we've gone through sixteen weeks of regular season football. Then
(04:41):
we went through the wild card division round and the
championships Sundays. But uh, I'm excited about this because we
get to close it out and style, but not only
just one game, but as you mentioned, a laundry list
of prop bets before we get to open and kick.
All right, So so let's get right is and now
the key is for someone to keep tracking. I used
to have this guy spin Mac, who doesn't listen anymore
because he grew up and stopped doing the overnights. He
(05:03):
got a real job during the day, growing up jobs
during the day. He runs like an arena in Ohio.
But but anyway, so, uh, he used to keep track,
guest gun. He would he would keep track of the
beats for us. Now, well, I guess can we go
what we'll trying to tell you that that that since
he's not around, you're gonna have to do it, or
someone else we have to deputize in the mallor militia,
(05:25):
someone like maybe Skeeter in Montana, who I know does
not listen to this podcast because it's a podcast. But
we get somebody and get them to deputize themselves. We
deputize them and then have them do this. So well,
a couple of things you hit on in Championship Ships Sunday,
I'll refresh your memory. You did hit on Derrick Henry
(05:46):
being are totally less than a hunter eighty yards, so yes,
you hit on that. You hit on Ryan Tannehill having
more yards than Derrick Henry. See you hit on that,
um And you also hit on Ryan Tannehill having more
or less than ninety yards in Tennessee won the game,
which he did not do. So you hit on all
(06:06):
three of those. Alright, See you look at that. You're
actually beginning positively. I'm sure at some point you'll become
a narcissist, but right now you're doing good. All right,
So here's some of the exotic bets. Now we'll go
through as many as we can. We'll reach a certain point,
we'll say enough of that. We gotta move on. We
gotta get to the actual game itself. But these exotic
bets I love so much. Now, there's a lot about
(06:27):
Donald Trump. They try to cross over. If you're not
I think most people listen to this are pretty regular gamblers.
But if you're a casual person dabbling and gambling, they
like to mix in pop culture and politics, crossing over
the super Bowl. And so there's a number of prop
bets on President Trump. And and here's one total Donald
(06:49):
Trump tweets on February second, Super Bowl Sunday. The over
under is thirteen and a half. Now over is plus
one thirty under is minus one seventy. So which way
you're gonna go on this one? Man, this is tough,
especially because it's the Sunday. I'm gonna go under. Yeah,
(07:10):
you know, under is the favorite. The only way I
believe this would go over is if Nick Bosa has
like six sacks because he's a Trumper. And if so,
if Nick Bosa has a ridiculously good game, I could
see Trump just going on and on, you know about
how great uh nick boss? But but yeah, I think
the smart money to safe play is under thirteen and
(07:31):
a half. And the main reason why is because you
know there's not gonna it's made people. It's it's a
weird thing, like people are on Twitter during the game,
but are they really looking for President Trump's tweets? And
you know you gotta go where the audience is. So
I would say under thirteen and a half, although there's
value at plus one thirty and over right, will Donald
(07:51):
Trump attend the game? Yes is plus two forty five.
No is minus three ninety. I think he got a
bet on no, because if he was going to attend
the game, there's so much planning, someone would have leaked something.
The security, the extra security even for the Super Bowl
for a president attending. So I would say, no, he's
not going to show up. And like Miami is that
(08:13):
is that Trump theater? Florida is like a battleground state,
right is it a Trump state or not? In Miami?
I think he does better in northern Miami, you know,
northern Florida rather than Miami. I mean mar La goes
down there. And and also he didn't he change his
residency from New York to Florida. That is true yeah,
that's right for tax reasons. Yeah, like Derek Jeter, so
(08:37):
uh yeah, so I'm gonna say he will not show up,
like you mentioned obviously with security detail and whatnot, so
he'll stay away from the scene. Here's one that's the
kicker of the right because he showed up in the
National Championship Game. Yeah, well that was you know, that
was college football. He does better with college football in
the NFL. And it was in a Trump state, right, Louisiana.
That was you know, your happy place. Why he won
(08:57):
Florida though, yeah he did, he did. But anyway, al right,
will the win? These are actual exotic bets for Super
Bowl fifty four? Will the winning team visit the White House?
Will the winning team visit the White House? Yes? Is
minus three hundred, No, his plus two hundred. Hasn't that
(09:19):
been the trend lately? You know, hasn't that been the trend?
I mean, but yes, it's not providing much value. Uh.
The NBA are the ones that don't send anybody but football.
Even if they don't send a full I guess you
don't have to send a full contingent, right, So yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna say, yes that that if the
(09:42):
Niners win, Nick bos it will definitely do it. And
then I think Andy Reid's like a closeted Trump guy
or something like that, So I think the Chiefs will
send and plus Missouri it's more Trump country than certainly California,
so I think either way they will have a contingent
that will visit the White House. So I'm gonna go
yes on that. What will happen to the price of
bitcoin during the Super Bowl? Al Right, bitcoin price is
(10:07):
is higher, it has gone up at the end of
the game, that's minus one five. Bitcoins price is less
at the end of the game, that would be minus
one oh five. Now I don't know any bitcoin. Bitcoin
is my my financial mistake, my great financial mistake in life.
And we'll talk about this at some point on the
(10:29):
other podcast. But I had an opportunity to get in
on bitcoin when it was a hundred dollars. I could
have gotten some some bitcoin a hundred dollars, and I
remember one of my relatives was telling me trying to
sell me on this. You know, I felt like I'm
I felt like I was being scammed, and so I
was like, I'm not that's a scamp and I'm not
doing it now. I'm not gonna touch it now that
things that were like nine grand each or something like that.
(10:50):
It's it's insane. But it keeps going up. So I
will say, why would it not go up during the
Super Bowl game? So I will say it will go up.
I'll take the favorite on that. I like to play
the underdog, but I'll take I'll take bitcoins price going
up by the end of the game at minus one.
You want up over or under. I'm gonna say under,
(11:12):
just to be Devil's advocate. You will take the other.
What will the case be on on February second, at
the SNP five market close? All right, so now this
is the first day of the market. After the close,
there the Chiefs if they win the Super Bowl. Uh,
there's Super Bow winners. The SNP five closes above the
(11:35):
previous close, and you can do it for each of
the teams. I don't need to walk through each scenario.
But you know, Chief's win, Chiefs lose, um, you know,
I guess. Actually it's it's just the winner. So Chiefs win,
Does it close above? Chiefs win doesn't close below? There's
forty nine or same thing? Does the SMP five hundred
go down or go up depending on this. There's four
(11:57):
total wagers, but we'll do the each team in visually. Um,
and it's totally spitballing, but I guess it depends on
that the virus in China, right, isn't that that's kind
of affected this more? The Super Bowl is not going
to affect that. I will say, you get a little
more juice that it closes below the previous number. So
(12:19):
I'll take in both cases, the Chiefs and forty Niners.
I will take the the underdog here, so I will
say plus two seventy five for the Chiefs that the
market closes down and plus two eighty five forty Niners.
All right, I'm gonna go the other way. I'm gonna
say it's going up. I showed you a couple of
days ago right to return. I've been rocking it. Here
(12:41):
we go. Here's the narcissist part right here. Here's the
narcissist rate of return over the past year, thirty one
five percent. So I'm gonna go up. It has been
dominant for me. So all right, well, Mr Happy over there,
you know you can't share my glory. Be sure to
catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
(13:04):
the I Heart Radio apps. All Right, these are actual
prop bets, exotic bets super Bowl fifty four. These are
the fun bets. I love these things that. Here's some more.
Will Nike release a commercial with Colin Kaepernick during the
Super Bowl. This is known as being opportunistic. Not Kaepernick
here really stepped in it and really upset a bunch
of people recently with some of his comments. But I'm
(13:27):
gonna I'm gonna go, well, see here, I was gonna
go yes, because I think if you were Nike, why
wouldn't you do it? But and yes is plus seven
hundred boys? Are you getting some value for that? Okay,
so let me ask you a quick question on this.
Is it an ad that centralized around Kaepernick or is
it with Kaepernick in it at any moment? Yeah, it
(13:50):
doesn't specifically say that. I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe they'll have a Nike will flash. I would say
it doesn't specify, but I'm gonna go no. And I'm
gonna know if two reasons. Okay, noose minus get no
value on that. But I'm gonna bet no. And here's why. A.
I I believe that Nike UH is they have to
(14:10):
get these things approved by the NFL, the overlords of
the NFL. So I would say the NFL would not
approve a Kaepernet commercial UH number two. And this is
the main reason I would bet against this. It's it's
got to be some kind of Kobe Bryant last minute
commercial they put together. I would think of highlights of
Kobe Bryant's life and trying to, you know, in a
in a ghoulish way, capitalize on the morning process that
(14:33):
so many people have been going through here that loved
the Kobe Bryant and Nike athletes. So I would say
that the Nike commercial, even if they had it in
the can, as they say in the business, they'll they
will update it at the last minute, and it would
be all about Kobe. I'd be shocked if it's not
about Kobe the Nike commercials. So I'm gonna go no, ye,
I'll go what that does, Well, you just piggybacked of
(14:53):
my work there. It's a bad job by you. It's
a bad job by you. Here's one I and this
is one of those things where you see this number
and you're like, oh, holy crap, that really is the number?
How many commercials will be run during the Super Bowl? Now,
before I give you the over under, what do you
think the number would be on on Super Bowl Sunday?
(15:14):
How many commercials are run? So just for the sixty
minutes of action? Yeah, from kickoff to the final buzzer. Damn,
that's tough, um, because what is it. It's ninety about summer, nineties, summer, thirties, summer.
You know there's twenty second commercials. It's hard to get right, Um,
a little super Bowl they're usually longer, right, But he's
(15:35):
also gonna include halftime, which is a longer halftime show
as well, Shakira, I'm gonna say the over under commercials
will be I don't know what about fifty four? I
just had a drink of water. By the way, did
that sound bad? I just had a drink of water. No,
believe it or not. The over under he's ninety two
(15:57):
and a half. Ninety two and a half. Have you
talked about censory, overlord or overload for that nine? Now
it's minus over minus one fifteen under. I'm gonna take
the over man. This is a Marketer's dream. So it's
all about the commercials. It's the one event a year
(16:19):
in America where the commercials matter. That's true. Disney Plus
and all these other streaming services Hulu to avoid the
commercials as much as they can. But this is like
my my new example. My my brother in New York,
my older brother and his his wife runs an advertising
(16:39):
firm in Manhattan, and they watched them. They're not sports people,
but they watched the game just for the commercials. I
think a lot of people, you know, if we're going
advertising or marketing whatever, but they're like that. So I'll
take the over. Yeah, I like that too. Ninety two
ads thoughts, I don't forget. I mean that obviously includes
movie trailers, so I know there'll be a lot of
those coming out. They pay for those. Those aren't true,
(17:00):
You got to pay for those. Alright. I'm moving on.
These are exotic bets here which commercial will appear first?
Audi or Porsche? M M, how do your Porsche? Favorite
is Porsche at minus one sixty for of course the
Volkswagen brand, and they've got Audi and Porsche. I'll take
Audi wine Porsch should be number one. But I'm getting
(17:21):
some value with Audie at plus one twenties. So I'll
take I'll take Outie Man like that too. I'll go
all right, which commercial will appear first? Coca Cola or
Soda Stream, which is a Pepsi product. Soda Stream I hates.
You can make the soda your house, right, That's what
trying to get people to do. My dad loves soda,
by the way, he loves I gave soda up about
(17:43):
fifteen years ago because it makes you fat. But my
dad can't get enough soda. He loves it. Uh, what
Coca Cola is? We'll both have a lot of money.
If if Pepsi was smart, they'd be first. Pepsi is,
Soda Stream is favored. But you know, I'm gonna take
Coca Cola even though Soda Stream's favorite. I'm getting even money.
(18:06):
I mean there, and it's not great, but I'll take
Coca Cola, all right. I'll go the other way with
Pepsi Soda Stream, all right, So it's Soda Stream that brand,
but it's Pepsi brand, all right. Which commercial will appear first?
To go back to the political theater guest guard and
you're a political guy. The first Super Bowl political commercial
will be a Donald Trump at minus two seventy for
his reelection, or be Michael Bloomberg, who has been spending
(18:30):
a gazillion dollars buying. Every time I turn on the TV,
I see a Bloomberg commercial and it's it's fascinating. He's
at plus one eight. I'm gonna gonna I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna go with Bloomberg. Okay, I'm gonna take Trump,
and I'll tell you why. It's it's a Fox product, Okay,
and Trump plus Trump will his people will spend whatever
(18:53):
it takes. Not that Bloomberg wouldn't, but I think it's
more important for Trump and the ego to be number
one one, right, you want to be number one? And
I'm sure Bloomberg this too, But I'm gonna take Trump
that his commercial goes first. Okay, Uh do we I'm
gonna skip over some of these because I mean we
can do well. Here's the one, will do Mountain Dewer Toyota,
which ad shows up first? Mountain Dewer Toyota. Uh, they're
(19:17):
both minus one fifteen, so there's no no favorite. I'll
take Toyota. I'll go with Toyota. Yeah. I like Toyota
as well. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright,
which commercial wi appear first? New York Life or Turbo
Tax Tax seasons right around the corner, turbot Tax? All right,
(19:42):
which commercial will appear? I will take New York Life.
They're the favorite, but I'll take them. Why not? Which
commercial will appear first? Pop Tarts? They're doing a pop
Tarts Supermore commercial. Holy crap, and Derrito's now pop Tarts.
Pop Tarts is a Kellogg's product. Derritos is a Frito
Lay product. De Rito's is the overwhelming favorite. They usually
(20:02):
spend so much and they have these amazing Super Bowl commerce.
But I just like the fact that there's a pop
Tart commercial, so I'm gonna take I used to love
pop Tarts. That's one of the reasons I got so
fat when I was a kid. I love those pop tarts.
I would make too many of them, but I I will.
I will go with the pop Tarts sentimental reasons. I'm
gonna go with Derito's. At the party man, plus Deritos,
they get that whole like Ranch, you know, Ranch Derito thing,
(20:24):
which I don't like. You know, I'm anti range and
they're trying to promote range. All right, moving on, here's
some other game related props. These are actual prop bits
from Super Bowl fifty four. Will Andy Reid coach the
Super Bowl in ha Hawaiian shirt, his trademark Hawaiian shirt.
Is that going to happen? One are the yes and knows?
(20:49):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say here that well, yes, it
is plus fourteen hundred nos minus one thousand or minus
ten thousand. Actually so much chuck. Yeah, there's a lot
of show uck. But I don't think you're allowed to
coach the game. And I think he has to wear
his usual outfit. What if he goes like full Mike
Nolan and just dressed up, dresses up in a suit.
(21:10):
Can't do that either, strict Yeah, I think they put
another dress, they put the dress code back, and then
you have to wear like that, some kind of team gear.
But I think he's got a Hawaiian shirt with the
Chiefs logo on it. I'd love for him. You know,
I'll put a cap. I'm not put a big, big wage.
I'll put a couple bucks. He wears a wine shirt
just because I think he should wear a wine shirt.
Not that he will, but I think he should. Here's one. Now,
(21:32):
this is great. Well, Andy Reid eat a cheeseburger before
the end of the super Bowl broadcast. You can bet
on this. Yes, is plus twelve d No, his MINEUS
seventy five hundred dollars. Wellhy I would be given away
who I like? So, but it doesn't matter. For the
sake of this, I'll say no, he will not. Yeah, yeah,
(21:54):
I mean no, he's gonna pull a Mark Salmon w
Mark Sanchez, the old quarterback, got the got the delio.
He's eating the cheeseburger on the on the side, remember
that whole thing. Yeah? Um, but but no, uh yeah,
I mean that's not I mean, in what scenario it was,
you know, some assistant he's really hungry and they're gonna
give him a burger on a on a silver platter,
(22:15):
you know, third quarter, start of the fourth. But you
said Superbowl broadcast, so that also includes post game? Yeah? No, it'
says before the end of the super Bowl broadcast. And
does that include postgame or is that just the I
think that goes into the postgame ceremony. I think it
goes in a trophy presentation m v P, and then
(22:37):
post that that was a possibility that some some opportunists
will like Carrot Top will show up with a on
on Fox with a silver platter of a cheeseburger and say, Andy,
here's your victory cheeseburger. Which coach will be mentioned first?
This is a traditional one, Andy Reid at minus one
or Kyle Shanahan plus one fifteen? Doesn't this depend who's
(23:00):
getting the ball first? Because don't they usually show the
head coach, like, yeah, the forty Niners are on offense.
There's Kyle Shanahan whose last Super Bowl experience he lost
the three lead. I could see Joe Buck saying some
something like that, right, but and he reads the favorite
at minus one fifty five. But I'll take Kyle shann
and just because I believe it depends on who gets
(23:21):
the ball first, and there's a fifty fifty chance on that,
So I'll take Shanahan. I'll go with Andy Reid. Okay, Well,
David Portnoy, you know what David Portnoy is. There's a
prop bet about David Portnoy. He runs bar stool, will
he get kicked out of the Super Bowl. You can
bet on this. It's it's been a tradition here. He
has battles with the NFL people. Yes is plus six fifty,
(23:44):
No is minus. I'm gonna go no, Yeah, you gotta
go no. I think the only way to go on
this is no plus. The Patriots aren't playing. Isn't he
a big Patriot guy from what I understand, So I'm
gonna go No. Do we care about the lique color
of the liquid that's poured on the winning coach the
Super Bowl? I think it'd be fascinating because you have
(24:06):
two teams that are both red, but there's also a
little bit of gold and orange, and um, well, you
can bet there's every color in the rainbow pretty much
along here. You got clear with just water like ice
water or just waters plus six hundred, lime or green
(24:26):
or yellow. They you get value on that lime, green
or yellow plus two fifty. That's the that's not the favor. Actually,
red is the favorite, I believe, and plus one five
you've got purple, blue and orange or the other possibilities.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go lime, green, yellow, I'm
(24:48):
gonna go. I think there's value in that because it's
kind of like three different colors in one and yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna lime, green, yellow. Huh yeah, is
there blue in there now? Yeah? Blues plus plus six
fifty going big. That's the biggest underdog is the blue,
(25:11):
and you're taking the big underdog there. Yeah, alright, let's
see what else do we have? You know, I do
a couple more of these. This is always a fun
one too. It's been around for years. On the exotic bets,
Who will the Super Bowl? M v P mentioned first
in his speech. Now, the options are teammates, God, family,
or family member, city, coach, owner, and then you can
(25:35):
also bet that the person does not mention any of
the above. So none of the above. Yeah, now, teammates
is favored, but if it's a really religious person, we'll
get a glory to God. So I'm going God. I'm
playing the God card here. I believe we will get
the Super Bowl. M VP will thank God before teammates, coach,
(25:57):
city owner, family, going God. I'm gonna go. I'm on
the God squad. I'm gonna go coach coach. Yeah, I'm
gonna like yeah, Patrick Mahomes, we did it for Andy
Reid something like that, or of course if you get
if you get both, and he starts chanting, obviously, what's
what the defensive coordinator's name, Robert Slay, Yeah, Sally or something. Yeah.
(26:24):
So I'm gonna go coach, all right, Coach is plus
five hundred, there's some value in that, but I'm taking God,
I'm getting plus two fifty. It would be great if
they were just they didn't mention anybody, and they just
total narcissist And I'd like to thank myself for being
good will. The Fox broadcast mentioned the point spread or
(26:44):
total during the broadcast. Now, yes, it is plus one
thirty five. No, his minus two twenty. Now I'm gonna
go yes, And I'll tell you why. I know it's
taboo for the NFL and all that they don't like
the gambling in the Super Bowl, but Fox has their
own gambling website where their partners with Right, so they've
been running commercials all footballs, and so I'm gonna go
(27:06):
yes that Joe Buck will mention and he'll slick, He'll
be slick. He'll like mention a pro bow for the
gambling site that they have. And I saw the line
on the Fox gambling app that you know, the Chiefs
were favored by one and worked at it. So I'll
go yes. Yeah, I'll go yes as well. I like
that Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup
(27:30):
in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox
sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio
app search f s R to listen live. Will a
fan run onto the field during the game? Jeez, I
can imagine. No, it's probably what like minus ten thousand
minus twelve hundred. Yes, is plus six hundred. There is
(27:51):
that famous guy from Europe that goes around and is
able to wear a trench coat and then runs all
over the field covering his junk with some game ling
websites that remember that guy a couple years ago, I
was doing that, Remember that gambling website that he wanted
people to go to. Yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm
gonna give I'm gonna put my faith in Super Bowl
security and believe these people will do their jobs. So
(28:13):
I'll go plus six hundred. Maybe morgana the Kissing bandit
will come back. She's like eighty, but maybe she'll run
back across the field and and all that for sentimental sakes, uh?
Will any player proposed to his girlfriend on the field
after the game. That has happened. It doesn't always get
on TV. Has happened after several Super Bowls. Yes is
(28:34):
plus five fifty. No' is minus a thousand. I'm gonna
say no, I'll take yes. Why not. There's some guy
on the Chiefs. It's like, I'm waiting to win the
Super Bowl and I want to get on the knee
right after the game, and I go yes, Yeah, I'll
go yes six and value in that. Uh, here's a
(28:54):
fun one. Will any player be arrested in Miami after
the game in these celebratory moments after the game? Now
is minus two thousand for obvious reasons, Yes, plus seven fifty. Now.
We mentioned this on the radio the other night. Guest
gun that of all the cities, all the metro areas
in the United States, Miami is number one over the
(29:17):
last twenty years for players being arrested. More NFL players
have been arrested in Miami than in any other city
in the United States. So you're getting some value in
that department. But you know it's after the game. Does
that does that just that night or could it be
like Monday or Tuesday? They hang around and get you know,
(29:39):
you know what I'm saying. Uh, that's said, I'm gonna bet. No, Yeah,
I'll go and know as well. If it was before
the Super Bowl, I might be venturing off and saying, yes,
will Joe Bucker Troy Aikman say Patriots now is plus
two hundred? Yes, is minus three hundred. Absolutely, he's gonna
because Jimmy Garoppolo was Tom Brady's back up with the Patriots.
(30:01):
Bull done you win the bet? Right? Oh? Man? Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, he's of course he's gonna say the
word Patriots. Uh. Then there's a bet on the largest
wager by Floyd Mayweather under one million or over one million.
Under is obviously the favorite at minus four fifty. Now,
the only way we'll know this is if Mayweather wins
the bet. He does not promote lost wages. Correct, that's correct,
(30:25):
So I don't I think he's submitted tickets before. Yeah,
we'll use this stuff now because the casino will leak. Hey,
I got a million dollars from Mayweather and yeah that's true.
So you're gonna go You're gonna go under. Yeah, I'm
gonna go onto. I mean, why would you bet a
million dollars on this game. He come on because he
can I know, but it's ridiculous. Uh, what you're what
(30:47):
do you take it? I'm gonna go over just to
be over, Yeah, just to be a contrarian. He's got
the juice, all right. It's a it's a short line anyway,
it's what what is? I mean? You pretty much just
like a pick him. So it's pretty much a pick
him at one point. I mean the odds of the
game ending at one point or minute. Our largest wage
(31:08):
you're taken via Nevada Sports Book over two million, under
two million. I'll take under. I'm gonna take under the
it's minus one for each, but I'll just take under you. Yeah,
I'll go under, all right, I really John three sixteen
banner or signed be shown on the Super Bowl broadcast.
(31:31):
No is minus five hundred, Yes is plus two hundred.
Now I'm gonna take no, I'm gonna take yes. Actually.
Uh and let me tell you why, because the way
you get this band and on the on the broadcast
is when they're they're kicking a field goal and an
extra point, you know that wide shot behind the kicker,
and some guys, you know, some religious guy pulls up
a John three sixteen signed Boom, I win the bat.
(31:53):
So I'm gonna take that. It's hard to get that's contraband.
It's hard to get that in right, hard to get
that into the in the stadium. But if you to
get it in, but then to drape it like that
full length, yeah, that's true. It might just have to
be like like, uh, you hold it up a blanket
with a couple other guys, get them involved in it. Uh,
(32:13):
let's see here. I have a couple more. Now, the
prop bet that we submit, there's a there's a few
of these here. Some of these I had nothing to
do with. And I'll give you the one that our show.
Our show provided. These were for charity. They had a
contest to submit prop bets. And these are actual bets.
You can wager. Will Joe Buck mentioned his dad Jack,
who also was broadcasting Super Bowls. You can bet on that.
(32:36):
I I'm gonna go yes. At some point he will
mention his old man. So I don't have the line
particularly on this, but you can. These are actual bets.
I'll say he does. I'm alright. Let's see here, what
will be higher after Super Bowl fifty two? Patrick mahomes
passing yards or George Brett's career batting average, or you
(32:58):
can use career home runs. What did he finish? A
three oh five was his career batting average, and he
had three and in seventeen home runs. So you're basically saying,
is my home is gonna be over three seventeen or under?
You know, because there's like twelve yards difference. I think
we go back to the way the Super Bowl had
been for a few years where it was a lot
(33:18):
of offense, even though the forty Niners have a good defense.
So I think Casey's gonna score around thirty points. So
I will take the over because they're not gonna be
able to run the ball. So I'm gonna take the over. Yeah,
I'll go with that too. That's a good call. Uh,
here's one will they will they show the Andy Reid
punt pass and kick photo or video during the broadcast.
This is you gotta show it, right, This is what
(33:41):
Andy's known for, and they want to you know, family affairs.
Super Bowl kids are watching, so I'm gonna go they
definitely show the video. Yeah, I'm going to will a
hail Mary be attempted? Will the hell Mary be attend,
I'll be yeah, right before halftime, you know why not? Boom? Yeah,
I'll go with that too. Will Fox show footage of
(34:04):
Jimmy Garoppolo at a Super Bowl as Tom Brady's backup. No, yeah,
I'm gonna go knowing this too. I don't think that's
gonna happen. How many times will they mentioned Andy Reid
has gone fifteen years between Super Bowls at least twice.
I'm gonna go twice. I don't know if the line
(34:24):
is on the over under, but i'll take at least
I'll take two over. To a number of replay review predictions,
Mike Pereira gets wrong over under one and a half,
I'll take the under. Great, Yeah, I'll go under as well.
He's really sharp. Yeah, he knows this, he knows his
ship higher number Patrick Mahomes passing yards or tiger Woods
(34:46):
total strokes at the Masters in here. Uh, let's see
that's the one course. Tigers still great at the man Stas. Uh.
I'll take Mahomes. Yeah, Mahomes, Well, Patrick Mahomes have more
(35:07):
total yards than his dad had career strikeouts. His the
father relief picture for the Twins and some other teams
and the Mets uh and his career strikeout toll. It
was four and fifty two for the original Pat mahomes Uh. Yeah,
he's not gonna totally yards, so that's running and throwing obviously,
(35:27):
but I'm gonna go under that. Yeah. And here's the
one that was submitted by us. That one, and this
is actual prop you can bet on. I think Manic Mike,
our guy from Nashville, submitted this one. Possibly some other
people also. But how many times will the fact that
the Super Bowl is on Groundhog Day be mentioned? And
(35:48):
there's a number you can bet I I think it
will be mentioned one time. So I think it'll just
be one time that it will be mentioned. But why not? Yeah,
it is a cultural event in America, the Swallows returning
to Capistrano and Punksutani Phil seeing his shadow or not
seeing his shadow, So I say they will at least
mention it one time. You agree, Yeah, I agree on
(36:12):
that too. Alright, let's get to the game. What do
you say? Let's get to the game? All right? Super
Bowl fifty four Santa Clara thirteen and three versus Kansas
City at twelve and four during the regular season. Now,
the line opened the Chiefs by one and a half.
It is currently as we are talking here in real
time at minus one. The weather mostly sunny and nice
(36:37):
give me seventy one degrees at kickoff, or so they
say at hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The money is
relatively easy or even rather, which tells you that there's
no the public is not just running to one side here,
you know. Usually it's a little more swayed that it's
like fifty two or fifty three percent the last I
(36:58):
saw on the Chiefs, So it's a little more on
the favorite, but not much to one point line essentially,
and pick him and I will take Can'sah City, take
the Chiefs here to win Super Bowl fifty four, and
Andy Reid to have the largest cheeseburger on God's Green
Earth when he gets back to Kansas City. But a
couple of reasons why A. My main concern for the
(37:20):
forty Niners is can they win without Jimmy Garoppolo having
a massive impact or footprint on this game? Now, common
sense tells you there's no way. Now I realized they've
been able to get away with this lately. The forty
Niners have a wonderful defense. Uh, and that's great and
all that stuff, but nobody has yet to completely slow
down Mahomes in a couple of years as a starting quarterback.
(37:42):
This express train is, it's the bullet train for Mahomes.
Even when he loses, he still puts up numbers and
points and all that. Entering the Super Bowl. Lookally so,
Jimmy Garoppolo, he will have thrown one touchdown pass in
forty two days, over a month, almost a month and
a half. Now was in the division you'll playoff against
the Vikings, and going back to week fifteen of the
(38:05):
regular season, this guy Garoppolo, Jimmy g he has thrown
one first half touchdown in the last five games. So
it's you know, typically you don't do much early in
the game. You know you're gonna win the Super Bowl,
you'd like to play well in the first half. It
makes the degree of difficulty goes up when you're trailing
going to the second half of the game. Um So
now listen. It certainly is helpful. It's it's helpful that
(38:29):
the forty Niners have that defense. But the Chiefs, if
you're the Chiefs defense, they just contained Derrick Henry, the
greatest running back in football, and they shut him down,
bottle him up. Part of that was because the Titans
went away from him, but they still slowed him down.
He wasn't running wild um and you know, and so
(38:50):
that was an arrowhead. Now to focus, you focus on
the running game. When you play the forty Nights. You
want Jimmy Garoppolo to have to make plays, not that
he can't, but you'd rather have to put the pressure
on Garoppolo then the running game, because that's the meat
and potatoes of the forty Niners approach and Santa Clara,
their whole mindset here going into the forty Niners believe
they can win this because of blocking and tackling, right,
(39:12):
the rudimentary fundamentals of football. And then if it comes
down to trans warfare, they're gonna win the offensive line
versus the Chiefs defensive line. They're gonna win defense versus
offensive line. Now, if right, then they will absolutely be
in the Winter Circle. I believe it will not go
that way. I'm gonna go the other side has said
(39:33):
with Kansas City, and and this is one of those deals.
If you were making a a movie trailer for the
Super Bowl, you said, what happens when the unstoppable force
meets the immovable object, because Mahomes has been unstoppable of late,
and the forty Niners defense has been immovable led by
Nick Bosa and friends up front. But I like the
(39:55):
Chiefs mainly because of Grover Patrick Mahomes, even though he's
won an end ep guiding a super Bowl winner and
being a central figure uh in in that. You know,
obviously being in one of the top players in the NFL,
but it's different. It's different when you are in the
super Bowl and you perform well. Now, the super Bowl
as a team event, but if you are leading the way,
(40:18):
it's a little bit of a different aura around you.
It would take a radical change to see Patrick Mahomes
play like Puke and I can think of this. I
like his bar mitzvah he he becomes a fully immersed
in the NFL hierarchy with this particular game, and I'm
(40:39):
sure I got to enjoy this because eventually I'll end
up hating Patrick Mahomes, which almost always happens with these
guys once they get voted on by the football establishment.
So there will be a passing of the baton here.
And as far as the cliche good defense beats good offense. Uh,
that's great, But there's also another old proverb that probably
rather than says, when you when you have the better quarterback,
(41:01):
you win eight of the time. So the one anomaly,
and I I I put this disclaimer on all this,
The one anomaly which you cannot handicap in most cases
is the scale of choke. And certain guys get so emotional,
they become agitated, they're confused by the moment, moment's too big.
(41:23):
They take a ride on the vomit comet. And I'm
not I'm not saying I don't think Mahomes has that
in him. I would say between the quarterbacks, I would
bet more on Garoppolo than I would on Patrick Mahomes.
But there's no obvious signs of any of these guys
having stage fright and getting flop sweat and all that um.
(41:44):
But it's it's one of those things that it's it's
very difficult to foreshadow that kind of thing. So give
me Kansas City barbecue, the z Man sandwich of Kansas City,
Joe's over that famous sour dough bread in the Bay
Area of San Francisco. So I will take the Chiefs
thirty forty niners seven. Last way, we end this thing
(42:09):
in style, and the penny is going San Francisco. Who
do you like? You said at the beginning of this
nonsense that you liked a certain side, So which side
do you like? I also like Santa Clara? You do?
All right, let's make a way, Jo, I'm gonna take
the Chiefs. Well, we'll do a legit taco meal at
Tito's Tacos, my favorite taco establishment. We're gonna make a
(42:31):
wager on that nice meal. Whoa or or I'll take
you you have that option, Or I'll take you to
Santa Anita as my date. Santa Anita sounds pretty fun.
Bet the ponies? What do we bet? We bet the
ponies that live or the ponies that die. Wow, we
can make our own little bets. We have our own
(42:51):
exotic prop bets, like which horse he thinks most likely
to die in this race? I'll take the number six,
the exotic version of NFL book him. That's the It's
like this the Google pool. You know some people some
people do. But yeah, all right, remember Sanity. You've been
(43:12):
to Sanity before? Yeah, I've been to san twice. Yeah,
it's nice. Let's do standa needed then, so, um yeah,
I like San Francisco straight up. Okay, all right, that's fine,
you don't even need the point. I'll take Kansas City
and I'll lay the point that you know, this not
goond a matter of the point spread, it won't matter.
All right, we'll put the baby to bed. This has
been a lot of fun here doing this all year.
(43:34):
The downloads have been good. We gotta get even better
though next year. So here on this bend, since we've
laid out a lot and we're active on social media,
I would like to make a request for anyone that
partakes in any of the exotics or the games straight
up or even with the total because a lot of
people like the over under tootal in this game. Um,
(43:56):
I think it'd be appropriate if they could send a
snapshot not of the money that they weighed, but the
actual bet that they took and tag us in it
if they can. Yeah, and we can retweeter it out.
All right, we're very good. All right, So well that's
the that's the deal. Yeah, if you can do that,
help us out do us a solid, that would be
very nice. Listen, have a great wee can We'll be
(44:16):
back doing this, I would think, and barring some kind
of raunforeseen change here right here on the podcast next season.
But it might be even bigger and better. You never know,
uh for next year. But but have a great we
can enjoy the super Bowl. Be safe, be careful cutting
your avocados. We don't want you to get hurt there,
Be careful on that. Eat a lot of food, and
(44:38):
there are no calories on Super Bowl Sunday. Calaries do
not count on Super Bowl Sunday, so eat whatever you want.
Enjoy life. As we all learned recently, life is you
never know when it's gonna end, so you might as
well enjoy the hell out of it, all right, Thank you,
guess don I appreciate it, man, it was a lot
of fun here in twenty nine, huge year for you.
Start off right now. We'll see what happens when it's
(44:59):
crunch time. All right, Thanks, have a good weekend.
Welcome players, You're welcome. Are It's time now Penny versus
the Penny? That it is the final the swan song
for Benny versus the Penny here in the the year
twenty twenty, at least for this version of the twenty
(00:21):
nineteen football season. The super Bowl edition of the radio
show as what's not really radio show, it's the podcast
I called the radio show. But it is Betty versus
the Penny, the super Bowl fifty four edition, And I
will pick the game. Now. I've already talked about who
I like in the game, but I'll give you my
logic behind who I like, why I like the side
(00:42):
I like in the super Bowl. But if we did
that game, I've determined David Gascon, the voice of the Coin,
that if I simply sat here in handicapped the super Bowl,
I'd get about fifteen minutes maybe out of that. But
my favorite part of the Super Bowl is the prop bets.
I love the they call it the exotic bets. I
(01:03):
love the exotic bets because there are literally seventeen thousand,
four nine ways to lose money betting on the Super Bowl.
And the guys that run the casinos, I know some
of these people that they're fans, you know, the fans
of the show, and they've listened over the years, and
I've talked to him personally, and they love it because
even if they get the game wrong, even if they
(01:24):
have the point spread completely wrong and there's too much
money on one side, the other side wins. They love
the fact that they can still win money in the
state of Nevada these other states now with just simply
having these prop bets and people lose money on the
coin toss, and I'm ever hearing a story I guess
gone from already laying the comedian a degenerate gambler and
(01:45):
he he would bet I think it was, if I
remember correctly, like twenty five thousand dollars on the coin
toss before the game even started, and he would lose
twenty five grand. It's just just crazy that kind of stuff.
And people are cracked fans, right, so you know that
they're not can have just a taste on the national
anthem of the coin toss or the gatorade, they'll be
action for a full sixty minutes, and then post game too,
(02:09):
whether it's the Gatorade Shower, super Bowl, m VP, things
of that nature. So you know, it's like pringles, right,
you can never have just one. I think that's the
best part about it is you're gonna get action across
the board. Now, one question I have for you before
we get into our final edition of Benny Versus the
Penny Um. Are we going to have a taste on
(02:30):
on anything anything of significance in this game? Oh? Like, like, well,
well of course, you know, a man to man. I mean,
we're gonna have a lot of wagers, so you're actually
like an actual wager in the game. As I feel
really good about about what's like, what's all right? Well,
how about this, I'll give my pick later and then
if we disagree, then we're in good shape. How about that?
(02:53):
That would we disagree and we will make a wager
and I will I will pay off. This will be
a legitimate wager, unlike your your other wages which are
are disingenuous and ridiculous and you're Charlottean I legit, straight
up bet on the Super Bowl. I will absolutely do that. Well,
when you go through this too, I guess you're gonna
identify what your favorite prop bet is because I got
(03:15):
let me say, I love these things so much I
used to do this on the radio, but you know,
it takes a million hours to do it. We have
we don't have the time to really do it the
right way, but the podcast endless time. Any less time.
We so I've made an executive decision to move the
bit we used to do on the radio show for
the super p Ones here on on Benny Versus the Pen. No, No,
(03:36):
what happens if we have to do a spiced up
edition of Benny Versus a Penny, or like we require
you to be in a suit or make up their
studio lights, Like what happens if we if we ever
go down that path, Well, if that happens. And people
have brought this up, and I want to put this
out very clear clearly that I'm not opposed to that.
(03:58):
You know, I like radio and podcasting. Um, but I
think it was the phrase everyone has a price, I
think was the phrase there. So I will put my
church clothes on, or my case, my my temple clothes.
I'll put those on and I'll you know, I'll take
a shower, I'll clean up pretty nice, and I'll be
very excited about So yeah, absolutely, I would you know,
(04:20):
there's a big pot of gold there, I'm all four
turn the lights on. You know, I'll even look at
the camera every once in a while, which you're you know,
you're only supposed to look up every once in a a while.
But but yeah, it'd be all about it, all right. Well,
I'm excited about this for a couple of different reasons,
and I'm also sad. For one reason, obviously, is because
we've gone through sixteen weeks of regular season football. Then
(04:41):
we went through the wild card division round and the
championships Sundays. But uh, I'm excited about this because we
get to close it out and style, but not only
just one game, but as you mentioned, a laundry list
of prop bets before we get to open and kick.
All right, So so let's get right is and now
the key is for someone to keep tracking. I used
to have this guy spin Mac, who doesn't listen anymore
because he grew up and stopped doing the overnights. He
(05:03):
got a real job during the day, growing up jobs
during the day. He runs like an arena in Ohio.
But but anyway, so, uh, he used to keep track,
guest gun. He would he would keep track of the
beats for us. Now, well, I guess can we go
what we'll trying to tell you that that that since
he's not around, you're gonna have to do it, or
someone else we have to deputize in the mallor militia,
(05:25):
someone like maybe Skeeter in Montana, who I know does
not listen to this podcast because it's a podcast. But
we get somebody and get them to deputize themselves. We
deputize them and then have them do this. So well,
a couple of things you hit on in Championship Ships Sunday,
I'll refresh your memory. You did hit on Derrick Henry
(05:46):
being are totally less than a hunter eighty yards, so yes,
you hit on that. You hit on Ryan Tannehill having
more yards than Derrick Henry. See you hit on that,
um And you also hit on Ryan Tannehill having more
or less than ninety yards in Tennessee won the game,
which he did not do. So you hit on all
(06:06):
three of those. Alright, See you look at that. You're
actually beginning positively. I'm sure at some point you'll become
a narcissist, but right now you're doing good. All right,
So here's some of the exotic bets. Now we'll go
through as many as we can. We'll reach a certain point,
we'll say enough of that. We gotta move on. We
gotta get to the actual game itself. But these exotic
bets I love so much. Now, there's a lot about
(06:27):
Donald Trump. They try to cross over. If you're not
I think most people listen to this are pretty regular gamblers.
But if you're a casual person dabbling and gambling, they
like to mix in pop culture and politics, crossing over
the super Bowl. And so there's a number of prop
bets on President Trump. And and here's one total Donald
(06:49):
Trump tweets on February second, Super Bowl Sunday. The over
under is thirteen and a half. Now over is plus
one thirty under is minus one seventy. So which way
you're gonna go on this one? Man, this is tough,
especially because it's the Sunday. I'm gonna go under. Yeah,
(07:10):
you know, under is the favorite. The only way I
believe this would go over is if Nick Bosa has
like six sacks because he's a Trumper. And if so,
if Nick Bosa has a ridiculously good game, I could
see Trump just going on and on, you know about
how great uh nick boss? But but yeah, I think
the smart money to safe play is under thirteen and
(07:31):
a half. And the main reason why is because you
know there's not gonna it's made people. It's it's a
weird thing, like people are on Twitter during the game,
but are they really looking for President Trump's tweets? And
you know you gotta go where the audience is. So
I would say under thirteen and a half, although there's
value at plus one thirty and over right, will Donald
(07:51):
Trump attend the game? Yes is plus two forty five.
No is minus three ninety. I think he got a
bet on no, because if he was going to attend
the game, there's so much planning, someone would have leaked something.
The security, the extra security even for the Super Bowl
for a president attending. So I would say, no, he's
not going to show up. And like Miami is that
(08:13):
is that Trump theater? Florida is like a battleground state,
right is it a Trump state or not? In Miami?
I think he does better in northern Miami, you know,
northern Florida rather than Miami. I mean mar La goes
down there. And and also he didn't he change his
residency from New York to Florida. That is true yeah,
that's right for tax reasons. Yeah, like Derek Jeter, so
(08:37):
uh yeah, so I'm gonna say he will not show up,
like you mentioned obviously with security detail and whatnot, so
he'll stay away from the scene. Here's one that's the
kicker of the right because he showed up in the
National Championship Game. Yeah, well that was you know, that
was college football. He does better with college football in
the NFL. And it was in a Trump state, right, Louisiana.
That was you know, your happy place. Why he won
(08:57):
Florida though, yeah he did, he did. But anyway, al right,
will the win? These are actual exotic bets for Super
Bowl fifty four? Will the winning team visit the White House?
Will the winning team visit the White House? Yes? Is
minus three hundred, No, his plus two hundred. Hasn't that
(09:19):
been the trend lately? You know, hasn't that been the trend?
I mean, but yes, it's not providing much value. Uh.
The NBA are the ones that don't send anybody but football.
Even if they don't send a full I guess you
don't have to send a full contingent, right, So yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna say, yes that that if the
(09:42):
Niners win, Nick bos it will definitely do it. And
then I think Andy Reid's like a closeted Trump guy
or something like that, So I think the Chiefs will
send and plus Missouri it's more Trump country than certainly California,
so I think either way they will have a contingent
that will visit the White House. So I'm gonna go
yes on that. What will happen to the price of
bitcoin during the Super Bowl? Al Right, bitcoin price is
(10:07):
is higher, it has gone up at the end of
the game, that's minus one five. Bitcoins price is less
at the end of the game, that would be minus
one oh five. Now I don't know any bitcoin. Bitcoin
is my my financial mistake, my great financial mistake in life.
And we'll talk about this at some point on the
(10:29):
other podcast. But I had an opportunity to get in
on bitcoin when it was a hundred dollars. I could
have gotten some some bitcoin a hundred dollars, and I
remember one of my relatives was telling me trying to
sell me on this. You know, I felt like I'm
I felt like I was being scammed, and so I
was like, I'm not that's a scamp and I'm not
doing it now. I'm not gonna touch it now that
things that were like nine grand each or something like that.
(10:50):
It's it's insane. But it keeps going up. So I
will say, why would it not go up during the
Super Bowl game? So I will say it will go up.
I'll take the favorite on that. I like to play
the underdog, but I'll take I'll take bitcoins price going
up by the end of the game at minus one.
You want up over or under. I'm gonna say under,
(11:12):
just to be Devil's advocate. You will take the other.
What will the case be on on February second, at
the SNP five market close? All right, so now this
is the first day of the market. After the close,
there the Chiefs if they win the Super Bowl. Uh,
there's Super Bow winners. The SNP five closes above the
(11:35):
previous close, and you can do it for each of
the teams. I don't need to walk through each scenario.
But you know, Chief's win, Chiefs lose, um, you know,
I guess. Actually it's it's just the winner. So Chiefs win,
Does it close above? Chiefs win doesn't close below? There's
forty nine or same thing? Does the SMP five hundred
go down or go up depending on this. There's four
(11:57):
total wagers, but we'll do the each team in visually. Um,
and it's totally spitballing, but I guess it depends on
that the virus in China, right, isn't that that's kind
of affected this more? The Super Bowl is not going
to affect that. I will say, you get a little
more juice that it closes below the previous number. So
(12:19):
I'll take in both cases, the Chiefs and forty Niners.
I will take the the underdog here, so I will
say plus two seventy five for the Chiefs that the
market closes down and plus two eighty five forty Niners.
All right, I'm gonna go the other way. I'm gonna
say it's going up. I showed you a couple of
days ago right to return. I've been rocking it. Here
(12:41):
we go. Here's the narcissist part right here. Here's the
narcissist rate of return over the past year, thirty one
five percent. So I'm gonna go up. It has been
dominant for me. So all right, well, Mr Happy over there,
you know you can't share my glory. Be sure to
catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
(13:04):
the I Heart Radio apps. All Right, these are actual
prop bets, exotic bets super Bowl fifty four. These are
the fun bets. I love these things that. Here's some more.
Will Nike release a commercial with Colin Kaepernick during the
Super Bowl. This is known as being opportunistic. Not Kaepernick
here really stepped in it and really upset a bunch
of people recently with some of his comments. But I'm
(13:27):
gonna I'm gonna go, well, see here, I was gonna
go yes, because I think if you were Nike, why
wouldn't you do it? But and yes is plus seven
hundred boys? Are you getting some value for that? Okay,
so let me ask you a quick question on this.
Is it an ad that centralized around Kaepernick or is
it with Kaepernick in it at any moment? Yeah, it
(13:50):
doesn't specifically say that. I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe they'll have a Nike will flash. I would say
it doesn't specify, but I'm gonna go no. And I'm
gonna know if two reasons. Okay, noose minus get no
value on that. But I'm gonna bet no. And here's why. A.
I I believe that Nike UH is they have to
(14:10):
get these things approved by the NFL, the overlords of
the NFL. So I would say the NFL would not
approve a Kaepernet commercial UH number two. And this is
the main reason I would bet against this. It's it's
got to be some kind of Kobe Bryant last minute
commercial they put together. I would think of highlights of
Kobe Bryant's life and trying to, you know, in a
in a ghoulish way, capitalize on the morning process that
(14:33):
so many people have been going through here that loved
the Kobe Bryant and Nike athletes. So I would say
that the Nike commercial, even if they had it in
the can, as they say in the business, they'll they
will update it at the last minute, and it would
be all about Kobe. I'd be shocked if it's not
about Kobe the Nike commercials. So I'm gonna go no, ye,
I'll go what that does, Well, you just piggybacked of
(14:53):
my work there. It's a bad job by you. It's
a bad job by you. Here's one I and this
is one of those things where you see this number
and you're like, oh, holy crap, that really is the number?
How many commercials will be run during the Super Bowl? Now,
before I give you the over under, what do you
think the number would be on on Super Bowl Sunday?
(15:14):
How many commercials are run? So just for the sixty
minutes of action? Yeah, from kickoff to the final buzzer. Damn,
that's tough, um, because what is it. It's ninety about summer, nineties, summer, thirties, summer.
You know there's twenty second commercials. It's hard to get right, Um,
a little super Bowl they're usually longer, right, But he's
(15:35):
also gonna include halftime, which is a longer halftime show
as well, Shakira, I'm gonna say the over under commercials
will be I don't know what about fifty four? I
just had a drink of water. By the way, did
that sound bad? I just had a drink of water. No,
believe it or not. The over under he's ninety two
(15:57):
and a half. Ninety two and a half. Have you
talked about censory, overlord or overload for that nine? Now
it's minus over minus one fifteen under. I'm gonna take
the over man. This is a Marketer's dream. So it's
all about the commercials. It's the one event a year
(16:19):
in America where the commercials matter. That's true. Disney Plus
and all these other streaming services Hulu to avoid the
commercials as much as they can. But this is like
my my new example. My my brother in New York,
my older brother and his his wife runs an advertising
(16:39):
firm in Manhattan, and they watched them. They're not sports people,
but they watched the game just for the commercials. I
think a lot of people, you know, if we're going
advertising or marketing whatever, but they're like that. So I'll
take the over. Yeah, I like that too. Ninety two
ads thoughts, I don't forget. I mean that obviously includes
movie trailers, so I know there'll be a lot of
those coming out. They pay for those. Those aren't true,
(17:00):
You got to pay for those. Alright. I'm moving on.
These are exotic bets here which commercial will appear first?
Audi or Porsche? M M, how do your Porsche? Favorite
is Porsche at minus one sixty for of course the
Volkswagen brand, and they've got Audi and Porsche. I'll take
Audi wine Porsch should be number one. But I'm getting
(17:21):
some value with Audie at plus one twenties. So I'll
take I'll take Outie Man like that too. I'll go
all right, which commercial will appear first? Coca Cola or
Soda Stream, which is a Pepsi product. Soda Stream I hates.
You can make the soda your house, right, That's what
trying to get people to do. My dad loves soda,
by the way, he loves I gave soda up about
(17:43):
fifteen years ago because it makes you fat. But my
dad can't get enough soda. He loves it. Uh, what
Coca Cola is? We'll both have a lot of money.
If if Pepsi was smart, they'd be first. Pepsi is,
Soda Stream is favored. But you know, I'm gonna take
Coca Cola even though Soda Stream's favorite. I'm getting even money.
(18:06):
I mean there, and it's not great, but I'll take
Coca Cola, all right. I'll go the other way with
Pepsi Soda Stream, all right, So it's Soda Stream that brand,
but it's Pepsi brand, all right. Which commercial will appear first?
To go back to the political theater guest guard and
you're a political guy. The first Super Bowl political commercial
will be a Donald Trump at minus two seventy for
his reelection, or be Michael Bloomberg, who has been spending
(18:30):
a gazillion dollars buying. Every time I turn on the TV,
I see a Bloomberg commercial and it's it's fascinating. He's
at plus one eight. I'm gonna gonna I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna go with Bloomberg. Okay, I'm gonna take Trump,
and I'll tell you why. It's it's a Fox product, Okay,
and Trump plus Trump will his people will spend whatever
(18:53):
it takes. Not that Bloomberg wouldn't, but I think it's
more important for Trump and the ego to be number
one one, right, you want to be number one? And
I'm sure Bloomberg this too, But I'm gonna take Trump
that his commercial goes first. Okay, Uh do we I'm
gonna skip over some of these because I mean we
can do well. Here's the one, will do Mountain Dewer Toyota,
which ad shows up first? Mountain Dewer Toyota. Uh, they're
(19:17):
both minus one fifteen, so there's no no favorite. I'll
take Toyota. I'll go with Toyota. Yeah. I like Toyota
as well. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright,
which commercial wi appear first? New York Life or Turbo
Tax Tax seasons right around the corner, turbot Tax? All right,
(19:42):
which commercial will appear? I will take New York Life.
They're the favorite, but I'll take them. Why not? Which
commercial will appear first? Pop Tarts? They're doing a pop
Tarts Supermore commercial. Holy crap, and Derrito's now pop Tarts.
Pop Tarts is a Kellogg's product. Derritos is a Frito
Lay product. De Rito's is the overwhelming favorite. They usually
(20:02):
spend so much and they have these amazing Super Bowl commerce.
But I just like the fact that there's a pop
Tart commercial, so I'm gonna take I used to love
pop Tarts. That's one of the reasons I got so
fat when I was a kid. I love those pop tarts.
I would make too many of them, but I I will.
I will go with the pop Tarts sentimental reasons. I'm
gonna go with Derito's. At the party man, plus Deritos,
they get that whole like Ranch, you know, Ranch Derito thing,
(20:24):
which I don't like. You know, I'm anti range and
they're trying to promote range. All right, moving on, here's
some other game related props. These are actual prop bits
from Super Bowl fifty four. Will Andy Reid coach the
Super Bowl in ha Hawaiian shirt, his trademark Hawaiian shirt.
Is that going to happen? One are the yes and knows?
(20:49):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say here that well, yes, it
is plus fourteen hundred nos minus one thousand or minus
ten thousand. Actually so much chuck. Yeah, there's a lot
of show uck. But I don't think you're allowed to
coach the game. And I think he has to wear
his usual outfit. What if he goes like full Mike
Nolan and just dressed up, dresses up in a suit.
(21:10):
Can't do that either, strict Yeah, I think they put
another dress, they put the dress code back, and then
you have to wear like that, some kind of team gear.
But I think he's got a Hawaiian shirt with the
Chiefs logo on it. I'd love for him. You know,
I'll put a cap. I'm not put a big, big wage.
I'll put a couple bucks. He wears a wine shirt
just because I think he should wear a wine shirt.
Not that he will, but I think he should. Here's one. Now,
(21:32):
this is great. Well, Andy Reid eat a cheeseburger before
the end of the super Bowl broadcast. You can bet
on this. Yes, is plus twelve d No, his MINEUS
seventy five hundred dollars. Wellhy I would be given away
who I like? So, but it doesn't matter. For the
sake of this, I'll say no, he will not. Yeah, yeah,
(21:54):
I mean no, he's gonna pull a Mark Salmon w
Mark Sanchez, the old quarterback, got the got the delio.
He's eating the cheeseburger on the on the side, remember
that whole thing. Yeah? Um, but but no, uh yeah,
I mean that's not I mean, in what scenario it was,
you know, some assistant he's really hungry and they're gonna
give him a burger on a on a silver platter,
(22:15):
you know, third quarter, start of the fourth. But you
said Superbowl broadcast, so that also includes post game? Yeah? No, it'
says before the end of the super Bowl broadcast. And
does that include postgame or is that just the I
think that goes into the postgame ceremony. I think it
goes in a trophy presentation m v P, and then
(22:37):
post that that was a possibility that some some opportunists
will like Carrot Top will show up with a on
on Fox with a silver platter of a cheeseburger and say, Andy,
here's your victory cheeseburger. Which coach will be mentioned first?
This is a traditional one, Andy Reid at minus one
or Kyle Shanahan plus one fifteen? Doesn't this depend who's
(23:00):
getting the ball first? Because don't they usually show the
head coach, like, yeah, the forty Niners are on offense.
There's Kyle Shanahan whose last Super Bowl experience he lost
the three lead. I could see Joe Buck saying some
something like that, right, but and he reads the favorite
at minus one fifty five. But I'll take Kyle shann
and just because I believe it depends on who gets
(23:21):
the ball first, and there's a fifty fifty chance on that,
So I'll take Shanahan. I'll go with Andy Reid. Okay, Well,
David Portnoy, you know what David Portnoy is. There's a
prop bet about David Portnoy. He runs bar stool, will
he get kicked out of the Super Bowl. You can
bet on this. It's it's been a tradition here. He
has battles with the NFL people. Yes is plus six fifty,
(23:44):
No is minus. I'm gonna go no, Yeah, you gotta
go no. I think the only way to go on
this is no plus. The Patriots aren't playing. Isn't he
a big Patriot guy from what I understand, So I'm
gonna go No. Do we care about the lique color
of the liquid that's poured on the winning coach the
Super Bowl? I think it'd be fascinating because you have
(24:06):
two teams that are both red, but there's also a
little bit of gold and orange, and um, well, you
can bet there's every color in the rainbow pretty much
along here. You got clear with just water like ice
water or just waters plus six hundred, lime or green
(24:26):
or yellow. They you get value on that lime, green
or yellow plus two fifty. That's the that's not the favor. Actually,
red is the favorite, I believe, and plus one five
you've got purple, blue and orange or the other possibilities.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go lime, green, yellow, I'm
(24:48):
gonna go. I think there's value in that because it's
kind of like three different colors in one and yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna lime, green, yellow. Huh yeah, is
there blue in there now? Yeah? Blues plus plus six
fifty going big. That's the biggest underdog is the blue,
(25:11):
and you're taking the big underdog there. Yeah, alright, let's
see what else do we have? You know, I do
a couple more of these. This is always a fun
one too. It's been around for years. On the exotic bets,
Who will the Super Bowl? M v P mentioned first
in his speech. Now, the options are teammates, God, family,
or family member, city, coach, owner, and then you can
(25:35):
also bet that the person does not mention any of
the above. So none of the above. Yeah, now, teammates
is favored, but if it's a really religious person, we'll
get a glory to God. So I'm going God. I'm
playing the God card here. I believe we will get
the Super Bowl. M VP will thank God before teammates, coach,
(25:57):
city owner, family, going God. I'm gonna go. I'm on
the God squad. I'm gonna go coach coach. Yeah, I'm
gonna like yeah, Patrick Mahomes, we did it for Andy
Reid something like that, or of course if you get
if you get both, and he starts chanting, obviously, what's
what the defensive coordinator's name, Robert Slay, Yeah, Sally or something. Yeah.
(26:24):
So I'm gonna go coach, all right, Coach is plus
five hundred, there's some value in that, but I'm taking God,
I'm getting plus two fifty. It would be great if
they were just they didn't mention anybody, and they just
total narcissist And I'd like to thank myself for being
good will. The Fox broadcast mentioned the point spread or
(26:44):
total during the broadcast. Now, yes, it is plus one
thirty five. No, his minus two twenty. Now I'm gonna
go yes, And I'll tell you why. I know it's
taboo for the NFL and all that they don't like
the gambling in the Super Bowl, but Fox has their
own gambling website where their partners with Right, so they've
been running commercials all footballs, and so I'm gonna go
(27:06):
yes that Joe Buck will mention and he'll slick, He'll
be slick. He'll like mention a pro bow for the
gambling site that they have. And I saw the line
on the Fox gambling app that you know, the Chiefs
were favored by one and worked at it. So I'll
go yes. Yeah, I'll go yes as well. I like
that Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup
(27:30):
in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox
sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio
app search f s R to listen live. Will a
fan run onto the field during the game? Jeez, I
can imagine. No, it's probably what like minus ten thousand
minus twelve hundred. Yes, is plus six hundred. There is
(27:51):
that famous guy from Europe that goes around and is
able to wear a trench coat and then runs all
over the field covering his junk with some game ling
websites that remember that guy a couple years ago, I
was doing that, Remember that gambling website that he wanted
people to go to. Yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm
gonna give I'm gonna put my faith in Super Bowl
security and believe these people will do their jobs. So
(28:13):
I'll go plus six hundred. Maybe morgana the Kissing bandit
will come back. She's like eighty, but maybe she'll run
back across the field and and all that for sentimental sakes, uh?
Will any player proposed to his girlfriend on the field
after the game. That has happened. It doesn't always get
on TV. Has happened after several Super Bowls. Yes is
(28:34):
plus five fifty. No' is minus a thousand. I'm gonna
say no, I'll take yes. Why not. There's some guy
on the Chiefs. It's like, I'm waiting to win the
Super Bowl and I want to get on the knee
right after the game, and I go yes, Yeah, I'll
go yes six and value in that. Uh, here's a
(28:54):
fun one. Will any player be arrested in Miami after
the game in these celebratory moments after the game? Now
is minus two thousand for obvious reasons, Yes, plus seven fifty. Now.
We mentioned this on the radio the other night. Guest
gun that of all the cities, all the metro areas
in the United States, Miami is number one over the
(29:17):
last twenty years for players being arrested. More NFL players
have been arrested in Miami than in any other city
in the United States. So you're getting some value in
that department. But you know it's after the game. Does
that does that just that night or could it be
like Monday or Tuesday? They hang around and get you know,
(29:39):
you know what I'm saying. Uh, that's said, I'm gonna bet. No, Yeah,
I'll go and know as well. If it was before
the Super Bowl, I might be venturing off and saying, yes,
will Joe Bucker Troy Aikman say Patriots now is plus
two hundred? Yes, is minus three hundred. Absolutely, he's gonna
because Jimmy Garoppolo was Tom Brady's back up with the Patriots.
(30:01):
Bull done you win the bet? Right? Oh? Man? Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, he's of course he's gonna say the
word Patriots. Uh. Then there's a bet on the largest
wager by Floyd Mayweather under one million or over one million.
Under is obviously the favorite at minus four fifty. Now,
the only way we'll know this is if Mayweather wins
the bet. He does not promote lost wages. Correct, that's correct,
(30:25):
So I don't I think he's submitted tickets before. Yeah,
we'll use this stuff now because the casino will leak. Hey,
I got a million dollars from Mayweather and yeah that's true.
So you're gonna go You're gonna go under. Yeah, I'm
gonna go onto. I mean, why would you bet a
million dollars on this game. He come on because he
can I know, but it's ridiculous. Uh, what you're what
(30:47):
do you take it? I'm gonna go over just to
be over, Yeah, just to be a contrarian. He's got
the juice, all right. It's a it's a short line anyway,
it's what what is? I mean? You pretty much just
like a pick him. So it's pretty much a pick
him at one point. I mean the odds of the
game ending at one point or minute. Our largest wage
(31:08):
you're taken via Nevada Sports Book over two million, under
two million. I'll take under. I'm gonna take under the
it's minus one for each, but I'll just take under you. Yeah,
I'll go under, all right, I really John three sixteen
banner or signed be shown on the Super Bowl broadcast.
(31:31):
No is minus five hundred, Yes is plus two hundred.
Now I'm gonna take no, I'm gonna take yes. Actually.
Uh and let me tell you why, because the way
you get this band and on the on the broadcast
is when they're they're kicking a field goal and an
extra point, you know that wide shot behind the kicker,
and some guys, you know, some religious guy pulls up
a John three sixteen signed Boom, I win the bat.
(31:53):
So I'm gonna take that. It's hard to get that's contraband.
It's hard to get that in right, hard to get
that into the in the stadium. But if you to
get it in, but then to drape it like that
full length, yeah, that's true. It might just have to
be like like, uh, you hold it up a blanket
with a couple other guys, get them involved in it. Uh,
(32:13):
let's see here. I have a couple more. Now, the
prop bet that we submit, there's a there's a few
of these here. Some of these I had nothing to
do with. And I'll give you the one that our show.
Our show provided. These were for charity. They had a
contest to submit prop bets. And these are actual bets.
You can wager. Will Joe Buck mentioned his dad Jack,
who also was broadcasting Super Bowls. You can bet on that.
(32:36):
I I'm gonna go yes. At some point he will
mention his old man. So I don't have the line
particularly on this, but you can. These are actual bets.
I'll say he does. I'm alright. Let's see here, what
will be higher after Super Bowl fifty two? Patrick mahomes
passing yards or George Brett's career batting average, or you
(32:58):
can use career home runs. What did he finish? A
three oh five was his career batting average, and he
had three and in seventeen home runs. So you're basically saying,
is my home is gonna be over three seventeen or under?
You know, because there's like twelve yards difference. I think
we go back to the way the Super Bowl had
been for a few years where it was a lot
(33:18):
of offense, even though the forty Niners have a good defense.
So I think Casey's gonna score around thirty points. So
I will take the over because they're not gonna be
able to run the ball. So I'm gonna take the over. Yeah,
I'll go with that too. That's a good call. Uh,
here's one will they will they show the Andy Reid
punt pass and kick photo or video during the broadcast.
This is you gotta show it, right, This is what
(33:41):
Andy's known for, and they want to you know, family affairs.
Super Bowl kids are watching, so I'm gonna go they
definitely show the video. Yeah, I'm going to will a
hail Mary be attempted? Will the hell Mary be attend,
I'll be yeah, right before halftime, you know why not? Boom? Yeah,
I'll go with that too. Will Fox show footage of
(34:04):
Jimmy Garoppolo at a Super Bowl as Tom Brady's backup. No, yeah,
I'm gonna go knowing this too. I don't think that's
gonna happen. How many times will they mentioned Andy Reid
has gone fifteen years between Super Bowls at least twice.
I'm gonna go twice. I don't know if the line
(34:24):
is on the over under, but i'll take at least
I'll take two over. To a number of replay review predictions,
Mike Pereira gets wrong over under one and a half,
I'll take the under. Great, Yeah, I'll go under as well.
He's really sharp. Yeah, he knows this, he knows his
ship higher number Patrick Mahomes passing yards or tiger Woods
(34:46):
total strokes at the Masters in here. Uh, let's see
that's the one course. Tigers still great at the man Stas. Uh.
I'll take Mahomes. Yeah, Mahomes, Well, Patrick Mahomes have more
(35:07):
total yards than his dad had career strikeouts. His the
father relief picture for the Twins and some other teams
and the Mets uh and his career strikeout toll. It
was four and fifty two for the original Pat mahomes Uh. Yeah,
he's not gonna totally yards, so that's running and throwing obviously,
(35:27):
but I'm gonna go under that. Yeah. And here's the
one that was submitted by us. That one, and this
is actual prop you can bet on. I think Manic Mike,
our guy from Nashville, submitted this one. Possibly some other
people also. But how many times will the fact that
the Super Bowl is on Groundhog Day be mentioned? And
(35:48):
there's a number you can bet I I think it
will be mentioned one time. So I think it'll just
be one time that it will be mentioned. But why not? Yeah,
it is a cultural event in America, the Swallows returning
to Capistrano and Punksutani Phil seeing his shadow or not
seeing his shadow, So I say they will at least
mention it one time. You agree, Yeah, I agree on
(36:12):
that too. Alright, let's get to the game. What do
you say? Let's get to the game? All right? Super
Bowl fifty four Santa Clara thirteen and three versus Kansas
City at twelve and four during the regular season. Now,
the line opened the Chiefs by one and a half.
It is currently as we are talking here in real
time at minus one. The weather mostly sunny and nice
(36:37):
give me seventy one degrees at kickoff, or so they
say at hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The money is
relatively easy or even rather, which tells you that there's
no the public is not just running to one side here,
you know. Usually it's a little more swayed that it's
like fifty two or fifty three percent the last I
(36:58):
saw on the Chiefs, So it's a little more on
the favorite, but not much to one point line essentially,
and pick him and I will take Can'sah City, take
the Chiefs here to win Super Bowl fifty four, and
Andy Reid to have the largest cheeseburger on God's Green
Earth when he gets back to Kansas City. But a
couple of reasons why A. My main concern for the
(37:20):
forty Niners is can they win without Jimmy Garoppolo having
a massive impact or footprint on this game? Now, common
sense tells you there's no way. Now I realized they've
been able to get away with this lately. The forty
Niners have a wonderful defense. Uh, and that's great and
all that stuff, but nobody has yet to completely slow
down Mahomes in a couple of years as a starting quarterback.
(37:42):
This express train is, it's the bullet train for Mahomes.
Even when he loses, he still puts up numbers and
points and all that. Entering the Super Bowl. Lookally so,
Jimmy Garoppolo, he will have thrown one touchdown pass in
forty two days, over a month, almost a month and
a half. Now was in the division you'll playoff against
the Vikings, and going back to week fifteen of the
(38:05):
regular season, this guy Garoppolo, Jimmy g he has thrown
one first half touchdown in the last five games. So
it's you know, typically you don't do much early in
the game. You know you're gonna win the Super Bowl,
you'd like to play well in the first half. It
makes the degree of difficulty goes up when you're trailing
going to the second half of the game. Um So
now listen. It certainly is helpful. It's it's helpful that
(38:29):
the forty Niners have that defense. But the Chiefs, if
you're the Chiefs defense, they just contained Derrick Henry, the
greatest running back in football, and they shut him down,
bottle him up. Part of that was because the Titans
went away from him, but they still slowed him down.
He wasn't running wild um and you know, and so
(38:50):
that was an arrowhead. Now to focus, you focus on
the running game. When you play the forty Nights. You
want Jimmy Garoppolo to have to make plays, not that
he can't, but you'd rather have to put the pressure
on Garoppolo then the running game, because that's the meat
and potatoes of the forty Niners approach and Santa Clara,
their whole mindset here going into the forty Niners believe
they can win this because of blocking and tackling, right,
(39:12):
the rudimentary fundamentals of football. And then if it comes
down to trans warfare, they're gonna win the offensive line
versus the Chiefs defensive line. They're gonna win defense versus
offensive line. Now, if right, then they will absolutely be
in the Winter Circle. I believe it will not go
that way. I'm gonna go the other side has said
(39:33):
with Kansas City, and and this is one of those deals.
If you were making a a movie trailer for the
Super Bowl, you said, what happens when the unstoppable force
meets the immovable object, because Mahomes has been unstoppable of late,
and the forty Niners defense has been immovable led by
Nick Bosa and friends up front. But I like the
(39:55):
Chiefs mainly because of Grover Patrick Mahomes, even though he's
won an end ep guiding a super Bowl winner and
being a central figure uh in in that. You know,
obviously being in one of the top players in the NFL,
but it's different. It's different when you are in the
super Bowl and you perform well. Now, the super Bowl
as a team event, but if you are leading the way,
(40:18):
it's a little bit of a different aura around you.
It would take a radical change to see Patrick Mahomes
play like Puke and I can think of this. I
like his bar mitzvah he he becomes a fully immersed
in the NFL hierarchy with this particular game, and I'm
(40:39):
sure I got to enjoy this because eventually I'll end
up hating Patrick Mahomes, which almost always happens with these
guys once they get voted on by the football establishment.
So there will be a passing of the baton here.
And as far as the cliche good defense beats good offense. Uh,
that's great, But there's also another old proverb that probably
rather than says, when you when you have the better quarterback,
(41:01):
you win eight of the time. So the one anomaly,
and I I I put this disclaimer on all this,
The one anomaly which you cannot handicap in most cases
is the scale of choke. And certain guys get so emotional,
they become agitated, they're confused by the moment, moment's too big.
(41:23):
They take a ride on the vomit comet. And I'm
not I'm not saying I don't think Mahomes has that
in him. I would say between the quarterbacks, I would
bet more on Garoppolo than I would on Patrick Mahomes.
But there's no obvious signs of any of these guys
having stage fright and getting flop sweat and all that um.
(41:44):
But it's it's one of those things that it's it's
very difficult to foreshadow that kind of thing. So give
me Kansas City barbecue, the z Man sandwich of Kansas City,
Joe's over that famous sour dough bread in the Bay
Area of San Francisco. So I will take the Chiefs
thirty forty niners seven. Last way, we end this thing
(42:09):
in style, and the penny is going San Francisco. Who
do you like? You said at the beginning of this
nonsense that you liked a certain side, So which side
do you like? I also like Santa Clara? You do?
All right, let's make a way, Jo, I'm gonna take
the Chiefs. Well, we'll do a legit taco meal at
Tito's Tacos, my favorite taco establishment. We're gonna make a
(42:31):
wager on that nice meal. Whoa or or I'll take
you you have that option, Or I'll take you to
Santa Anita as my date. Santa Anita sounds pretty fun.
Bet the ponies? What do we bet? We bet the
ponies that live or the ponies that die. Wow, we
can make our own little bets. We have our own
(42:51):
exotic prop bets, like which horse he thinks most likely
to die in this race? I'll take the number six,
the exotic version of NFL book him. That's the It's
like this the Google pool. You know some people some
people do. But yeah, all right, remember Sanity. You've been
(43:12):
to Sanity before? Yeah, I've been to san twice. Yeah,
it's nice. Let's do standa needed then, so, um yeah,
I like San Francisco straight up. Okay, all right, that's fine,
you don't even need the point. I'll take Kansas City
and I'll lay the point that you know, this not
goond a matter of the point spread, it won't matter.
All right, we'll put the baby to bed. This has
been a lot of fun here doing this all year.
(43:34):
The downloads have been good. We gotta get even better
though next year. So here on this bend, since we've
laid out a lot and we're active on social media,
I would like to make a request for anyone that
partakes in any of the exotics or the games straight
up or even with the total because a lot of
people like the over under tootal in this game. Um,
(43:56):
I think it'd be appropriate if they could send a
snapshot not of the money that they weighed, but the
actual bet that they took and tag us in it
if they can. Yeah, and we can retweeter it out.
All right, we're very good. All right, So well that's
the that's the deal. Yeah, if you can do that,
help us out do us a solid, that would be
very nice. Listen, have a great wee can We'll be
(44:16):
back doing this, I would think, and barring some kind
of raunforeseen change here right here on the podcast next season.
But it might be even bigger and better. You never know,
uh for next year. But but have a great we
can enjoy the super Bowl. Be safe, be careful cutting
your avocados. We don't want you to get hurt there,
Be careful on that. Eat a lot of food, and
(44:38):
there are no calories on Super Bowl Sunday. Calaries do
not count on Super Bowl Sunday, so eat whatever you want.
Enjoy life. As we all learned recently, life is you
never know when it's gonna end, so you might as
well enjoy the hell out of it, all right, Thank you,
guess don I appreciate it, man, it was a lot
of fun here in twenty nine, huge year for you.
Start off right now. We'll see what happens when it's
(44:59):
crunch time. All right, Thanks, have a good weekend.
