Super Bowl XLVI Opening Kickoff Prop Wagering Odds

With over 500 proposition-betting lines available on Super Bowl XLVI, the job of sorting through them can be a daunting task. We have been scanning all of the prop options and will present some of the more captivating ones as we head closer to kickoff.

We start with the Bovada prop bet posted as “Super Bowl XLVI – Team to receive the opening kickoff” wagering option. New England won the coin toss in seven of their 16 games during the 2011 NFL regular season. Head coach Bill Belichick elected to defer and the opposition received the ball all seven times.

Further to that, dating back to September 7, 2008, New England has won the coin toss 28 times. The Patriots received the second half kickoff all 28 times they won those coin flips. The Pats won the toss to start the AFC Divisional contest against Baltimore two weeks back and deferred as the Ravens accepted the opening kickoff.

By contrast, the last 22 times the G-Men have had the option to receive the opening kickoff, whether by winning the toss or having the decision deferred to them, they have elected to receive the ball 20 times. The two times they didn’t take the ball, the Giants deferred and the opponent elected to receive. New York won the toss during Super Bowl XLII and elected to receive the kickoff.
