Prop betting is huge for the NFL's big game where you can place a bet on almost any scenario.
But since this is a hockey website, let's see how prop bets for the NHL All-Star Weekend would compare to the NFL's big game.
I am a traditionalist when it comes to our game but my view of the NHL All-Star game has changed. Watch it if you wish and enjoy it, no need to complain about it. After all, the game will be forgotten quickly with the regular season returning on Monday.
Back to the prop bets. Many places take sport bets online and you may find a place to meet your needs on the NHL All-Star game.
This is meant to be fun, especially from the NHL side since the NFL bets are actually being taken.
In the NFL's big game, you can bet on everything from how man tweets will a high profile celebrity make to who will the MVP thank first.
It's had to think of any celeb tweeting about the All-Star game and the MVP of the ASG will probably thank the person doing the interview
You can bet on the temperature at kickoff in Miami, I don't think you can bet on the ice temperature in St. Louis.
How about this one, you can bet on a player getting arrested before the game in south Florida. For the ASG, the only arrest you may see is a player taking a rest on the bench.
How long will the anthems take can be bet on for the football game plus will Demi Lovato forget any words to it. On the NHL side, the fans would just join in if the singer runs into trouble.
Of course in the big game you can put some money down on which team will score first, for our game we know the scoring will be on a very regular basis.
Bets can be placed on the Puppy Bowl, nothing like that exists but perhaps they should continue with the pig race which was held at this year's Winter Classic in Dallas.
Yes, you can put some money down if an NFL player will raise a fist or take a knee during the National Anthem. A good prop bet for the game is St. Louis would be how many smelling salts capsules will be used before the puck drops.
For the Super Bowl another bet is will J-Lo/Shakira first address audience Spanish at halftime. For the All-Star Game the question is who IS THAT performing between periods?
So I have pointed out a few differences between the NFL and NHL. The Super Bowl will have millions of eyes on it. The All-Star Game on Saturday will probably draw slightly less... than the impeachment hearings. But you know what, it is our game, we understand it and love it and would not have it any other way.
Remember, the regular season emerges again on Monday. The race to the Stanley Cup Playoffs is about to begin while the NFL season ends in ten days. The NHL will be in the spotlight.
