Super Bowl 2012 Prop Bets: The Best Ones to Use

A variety of gambling Web sites offer prop bets, but most of them are illegal to use within the United States.

So instead we asked our friends at The Trough, a sports book, to provide a good list of 20 questions for sports fans to use for Super Bowl XLVI. We recommend handing them out to your guests before the start of the game and have whomever gets the most picks right win some sort of prize.

With this list of prop bets, it's easiest to print out and ask your guests to circle their answer for each of the 20 questions.
