Sure, there are the usual betting lines and odds involved in any sort of sporting event, with an Over/Under currently set at 47.5 and the money line set at -165 for the 49ers and +145 for the Ravens, but if you are truly a degenerate, you can bet on almost every single aspect of the game.

You can also bet on which team scores first, who scores it, what type of score it will be and if it will be the game winner. But those are still standard. If you really feel like throwing your money away on February 3, take a look at some of these outstanding prop bets associated with Super Bowl XLVII.
