Super Bowl Sunday is not just about the game. Sure, fans want to see the Super Bowl XLVI matchup of the New England Patriots (15-3) versus the New York Giants (12-7), but with Super Bowl Sunday also comes the wonderful opportunity to place prop bets on the game. These are bets that have virtually nothing to do with the actual play on the field.
Cross-sport prop bets can be highly entertaining on Super Bowl Sunday, and in the instance of this year's big game it just so happens the Miami Heat have a game, so LeBron James and teammate Chris Bosh find themselves involved in some props. Via our friends at OddsShark, here are the James/Bosh cross-sport options:
SUPER BOWL XLVI CROSS SPORT PROPS - What will be higher
Eli Manning Completions (+105)
OR
Lebron James Points (-135)
SUPER BOWL XLVI CROSS SPORT PROPS - What will be higher
Wes Welker Receptions (-125)
OR
Lebron James Assists (-105)
SUPER BOWL XLVI CROSS SPORT PROPS - What will be higher
Ahmad Bradshaw Receiving Yards (-125)
OR
Chris Bosh Points (-105)
The Heat are playing the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The Toronto Raptors are without their best player, and even managed to lose to the lowly Wizards earlier in the season. I would absolutely bet on LeBron James and Chris Bosh in the above scenarios.
Super Bowl XLVI is scheduled to kick off at 6:29 P.M. ET, and the game will be televised nationally on NBC. The network will also be streaming the game live, for free, at NBCSports.com.
