I could say Patriots 31 Giants 20 (my official score prediction) but that would be boring. So here are my official oddball preditions. All bets begin after opening kickoff.

Number of aircraft to fly over the stadium during pre-game ceremonies: 5
First player to be interviewed on camera: Ex-Giants player
Which Manning family member will appear first on the Fox broadcast, Peyton or Archie (doesn't have to be live): Peyton Manning
First commercial to be shown: a Budweiser/Bud Light commercial
Number of songs Tom Petty plays at Halftime: 4
First Tom Petty song played: Running Down a Dream
First Fox Series celebrity shown will be from: K-Ville
Which will be mentioned first during broadcast, Spygate or Arizona Senator John McCain: John McCain
Result of opening coin toss: Tails
Winner of the opening coin toss: New England Patriots
Which hand will Pam Oliver be holding the microphone in when she first appears on the broadcast: Right

You don't know Pam Oliver at all.

I heard somewhere that Las Vegas acutally takes bets on things like this. There is a list of about 100 different superbowl related bets.

The weirdest one I remember was an over/under on the jersey number of the first person to score a TD.

Prop bets.

That's where I got a lot of these - a Vegas online betting website. Let's look at the results:
1. Aircraft - yes, it was 5
2. I don't remember either being interviewed
3. Peyton. I didn't see Archie at all.
4. The commercial was a Bud Light commercial - I believe it was the fire breathing one they ripped off of Dairy Queen
5. There were 4 TP songs
6. But RDAD wasn't the first. I should've known it'd be the last.
7. I don't recall any Fox celebrities outside of Jordin Sparks' terrible lip synched "Star Spangled Banner". By the way, I think I heard something about a Terminator show... I wish they would've showed me more about it.
8. I don't recall hearing either, but I doubt they would've gone the whole broadcast w/o mentioning Spygate. They had to at the end.
9. Correct! It was tails
10. But the Pats didn't win it - the Giants did.
11. It was nice to see PO hold the mic in her RIGHT hand.

So overall, it looks like I was 6-4 (while ignoring number 2).
