As they do every year, the sports books have been really creative in coming up with prop bets. There are an incredible number of odd yet strangely interesting propositions available. Here's a look at some of the more bizarre. The lines for all these odd Super Bowl bets are from Bodog.

How long will it take Jennifer Hudson to sing the national anthem? - over one minute, 54 seconds (-220), under one minute, 54 seconds (+170). This is the amount of time it took another "American Idol," Jordin Sparks, to sing the anthem last year. So, will Hudson take longer? As the odds would suggest, it seems very likely that she will. First, and most importantly, this is her first public appearance since her family tragedy. That means emotion, and emotion means time. On top of that, Hudson is a diva in the musical sense, so you know she'll be milking every note for all it is worth.

How many times will Al Michaels and John Madden reference Ben Roethlisberger as 'Big Ben' during the game? - over/under 6.5. This one could go either way. Roethlisberger is obviously going to be a huge topic of conversation throughout the game, and his name is quite unwieldy, so the nickname will be attractive. They would only have to use the nickname just over 1.5 times a quarter to hit the number. On the other hand, it might be a bit too chummy and ridiculous even for these two to use the name that often. The under is the heavy favorite at -250, and that makes sense to me.

How many food items will John Madden mention during the game? - over/under 1.5. This one is a no-brainer. John Madden loves his food, and he loves to talk. He'll have this one knocked off by the half. That means that there is probably value in the over, despite it being at -210.

How many times will NBC show Brenda Warner on TV during the game? - over/under 3. There seems to be some solid value here. Back when Warner was with the Rams, Brenda was on TV about 125 times per game. She was omnipresent. If Warner has a good game to this year then Brenda will get her airtime. The over is at +120, and that seems more than fair.

Will Matt Millen pick the correct team during the pregame show? - I don't want to kick on Millen, but there seems to be good value here. The no is at +210. The Cardinals are only at about +225 on the money line, so if he does the safe thing and picks the Steelers then you aren't giving up much value. If he picks the Cardinals, though, then you would get a massive boost on the price for the Steelers.

What color will Bill Bidwell's tie be? - Can the Arizona owner wear a bow tie in any other color than red? Seems highly unlikely. It's at -500 that he will.

Which city will have the larger market share by the TV ratings? - This one seems like another no-brainer. Pittsburgh bleeds Steelers gold and black. It's hard to imagine a single TV not tuned to the game. Phoenix has playoff fever, but the city is full of retirees and visitors from other places who won't be as invested in the outcome. Pittsburgh is -600, and that is fully legitimate.

How many current NFL players will be arrested during Super Bowl week? - over/under 1/2. I desperately, desperately hope that this is an under. I'm not sure that there is anything I am more sick of than players getting arrested and everyone else talking about it endlessly. Sadly, there seems to be no clear favorite here, as the odds are at -120 on both sides.

Who will be tackled by his hair first in the game? - Larry Fitzgerald is the heavy favorite at -500, while Troy Polamalu is the underdog at +300. This prop is so ridiculously stupid that I feel my brain cells dying just from thinking about it.

What side of the ball will the players that perform the Gatorade shower be from? - The truly mind-numbing part of this prop isn't that people are talking about it. It's that there is a clear favorite - the defense is at -135, while the offense is at -105. Given that there is a chance for either team to win the game and thus do the shower, it seems very odd that the two prices would be so unbalanced. If that's not enough for you then you can also bet on what color the Gatorade will be. Water is the heavy favorite at 4/5, while lime green is the real longshot at 10/1.
