Super Bowl Bettors Can Reach Beyond Football

Don’t like giving up 14 points to bet on Green Bay against New England in the Super Bowl? How about some action on Brett Favre against Bart Starr?

The big point spreads of recent Super Bowls have prompted sports books to offer bets on anything from which team will win the opening coin flip to whether Shaquille O’Neal will pull down more rebounds than the Patriots score points.

Tennis fans can even bet on the number of combined aces in the Australian Open final against the number of Drew Bledsoe passes against the Packers.

At the Boardwalk, bettors can wager on whether the Packers (plus 3 points) will score more than the Packers in the first Super Bowl (minus 3 points), who beat Kansas City 35-10.

They can also bet whether Favre will throw for more yards than Starr did (250 yards) in the first Super Bowl.
