Planning on betting your house on the Super Bowl this weekend? Let me just go ahead and tell you that’s not such a great idea.
Gambling in moderation can be fun, but here’s a better idea: Test your skills against me and my readers.
Here’s 10 actual bets you can make on the Super Bowl right now (some slightly modified for our purposes). Make your picks in the comments, and don’t forget to include the tiebreaker question of total yards.
The winner will receive the opportunity to guest post on my blog on a Saturday in March or April. (and if you don’t have a blog, you can gift the guest post to someone else).
