Super Bowl XLV Bets You Can Take to the Bank
Sunday, February 6, 2011 at 12:34PM 
Forget the squares games and all the crazy prop bets out there, here are a few bets you can take to the bank Monday morning and count your winnings.
Total 45 points
OVER it is. These teams will score, and a 27-20 score means over. When these two teams played in 2009, it went over, way over.
The Steelers go over in their last 4 playoff games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0 and Green Bay goes over 18 out of 25 games when getting more than 350 yds of offense. Take the OVER
John Kuhn rushing attempts 2.5 over or under
I say this is the type of game where Kuhn can shine. He will get over 2.5 rushing attempts and one will be for a score.
Who will be MVP? Troy Polamalu +900
If Pittsburgh wins, chances are their defense an Troy Polamalu in particular will make a big play. At +900, it's worth putting a little cash on Polamalu to ne MVP.
Greg Jennings - 5.5 catches and 82 total receiving yards
Based on the last few playoff games, you would be smart to go with the over in each of these. Jennings is the first option in most of Aaron Rodgers reads. he'll touch the ball and often.
Total number of field goals missed by both teams. over or under 1 - Over for +400
Lot's of pressure on the kickers in this game, and they've been a little erratic. I think each kicker will miss one. Take the over on FG misses.
Good Luck to all!
