Super Bowl LII Prop Bets

©  2108 Jordan Long  Sports-Scoop.com | Sports with Attitude Super Bowl LII is this Sunday with the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the New England Patriots.  The simplest bet is to pick the winner and the point spread. But according to boston.com , there are nearly 1,000 different prop bets available.  Here are just a few. The National Anthem singer will be Pink.  Every year there is a prop wager on how long  the song will take.  The bet is over 2 minutes and under 2 minutes.  And you can also  bet on what color hair will the singer will come out with.  The choices are blonde, pink, blue, brown, and green.  The odds onto pink hair are 2 to 1 .

Goldstein, neurologist and associate professor at the Boston University School of Medicine said, “Here’s the deal: If you have had one of these injuries, you are at great

New England Patriots' NFL Playoff Preview

©  2108 Jordan Long  Sports-Scoop.com | Sports with Attitude The New England Patriots secured home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with a 26-6 victory over the New York Jets.  They will have a bye for the first-round and face the highest remaining seed in the divisional round. The Patriots are the team to beat in the AFC. The New England Patriots are a tough team to face.  It starts with the offense.  The Patriots are able to run and throw the football.  The running game will be important in the playoffs.  Brady can throw the football but the running game keeps teams off-balance.  The Patriots should be able to score at will.  The Patriots can strike early and often.  That won’t take a lot of time off the clock. The only downside with the offense is if teams pressure Brady with 4 or 5 defenders.  That will force him to hold onto the football or throw into double coverage.  When that happens, there could be sacks and interceptions that might impact field position allo
