Super Bowl Las Vegas Is Over: No More Football No More Taylor

Author Carla Rea
Super Bowl Las Vegas Is Over -- No More Football So Now What?

The Lombardi Trophy is headed to Kansas CIty, once again. The first Super Bowl in Las Vegas has come and gone. Football season is over. So now what do you do?

It’s a long, sad time for a true blue football fan, once the season ends. But football players need time to recuperate, and so do football fans.

How About Moving On To The Next Sport

For a sports lover, basketball is certainly in full swing, so that would seem to be a pretty natural transition. Hockey is still in mid-season, and the Vegas Golden Knights still have a lot of goals left to celebrate. Major League Baseball spring training starts February 22nd. Regular season begins the end of March.

Cricket starts in mid-April. Yes, I know what a wicket is, but I still don’t fully understand the game. and I’ve watched far more than I ever thought I would. You can too, because ESPN seems to like it.

Think About Getting A Hobby

Yes, a hobby. Collect something. Trading cards, art, wine, , vinyl records. Or, maybe just dust, if collecting isn’t for you. Build models with your kids.

Read a book. Yes, you might be called a nerd, or even asked ‘what on earth are you doing?!” But it really is good for the brain, and it is a great stress reducer. Unless it’s a Stephen King book. Try a real book, with real pages.

Learn a new language. Learn to cook. Learn to play an instrument. Learn to paint. Take up golf. The possibilities are endless!

But It Has To Be Football

If it just has to be football – well, then maybe watch old games. Play Madden NFL. Watch UFL (XFL and USFL merged into one league) football. The season begins the end of March. Another thing you can do – buy your team’s gear now. Chances are, it will be on sale, since the NFL season is over.

If nothing else, keep telling yourself that next season is YOUR season. This will be the year the Raiders do it! One thing is certain –  Super Bowl Las Vegas will happen once again, not too far down the road

Six months till pre-season football, seven months till regular season – and Taylor Swift’s sophomore year in the NFL. You’ll be fine.

Thank The Chicago Bears For The Fun Super Bowl Prop Bets In Las Vegas

Prop betting on the Super Bowl is one of America’s favorite pastimes, and as usual, you can bet on just about ANYTHING related to the game.

They’re called “Prop” or proposition bets, and there’s a bunch of fun ones this year. And there are a few new and different ones, because of one particular pop artist. Oh hush. You didn’t complain when you saw Jack Nicholson, or Spike Lee, or Matthew McConaughey at games, so you just stop!

You Can Thank William “Refrigerator” Perry For Prop Bets

So when did prop bets start and why? Well the “why?” is pretty simple really: MORE money to be made by sportsbooks in Las Vegas. 

Now the “when:” Prop bets began in 1986. Las Vegas oddsmakers introduced a new form of betting before Super Bowl XX. The Lines explains in depth about the first prop be: Whether William “Refrigerator” Perry would score a Touchdown.

Perry was called on to carry the ball, and he scored a touchdown! It cemented his place in Super Bowl history., and literally made him a legend.

The Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan called Perry a wasted draft pick, and refused to play him, Perry became a fan favorite in Chicago, where he was known for his playful personality and infectious smile. Oh, and let’s not forget that Superbowl Shuffle (Or maybe we should). Settle down Bears fans – your time will come again.

Prop Bets Mean A Lot More Money For Sports Books – Of Course

The goal of prop bets was obviously to provide a way to attract more casual bettors to place bets on the Super Bowl. But in more ways than just the final score, and point spread.

According to Legal Sports Reports, Super Bowl LVIII betting projections are expected to reach a record $1.3 billion dollars in legal US betting markets. That’s not counting all the illegal (as a Las Vegas resident, I say that jokingly) office pools, and little squares you’re picking.

Prop betting is hugely popular. And it seems to get more popular each year. Especially since the teams playing are often the same, so prop bets are just more fun. And this year, well – Taylor Swift.

Here are some fun, and goofy novelty “prop bets” you can actually place on the two lovebirds. That is, IF she makes it, and makes it on time.

Chiefs fans are loving it! Niners fans? Well…

  • WIll Travis Kelce propose to Taylor after the game?

    We know he probably wouldn’t do it after a loss, and the Chiefs are the underdogs – which means nothing. They had a less than stellar season leading up to the Super Bowl – and here the are. Again! Odds on a proposal: Yes +1060, No – 3000.

  • Will Taylor Be SHown During The National Anthem?

    She’s a singer, watching and listening to another singer. Good bet she will be shown. Odds: Yes – 200, No +150. Number of times she will be shown during the Anthem? Over 1.5 – 110, Under 1.5 – +110. Personal opinion? Yep!. But just once. Don’t yell at me if I’m wrong.

  • Recieving Yards For Tavis Kelce

    Most have Kelce at about 69 to 70 yards. Your over/under varies, depending on where you place the bet. But it’s a real bet for you football fans.

  • Kelce Yardage On Longest Reception

    Most have Kelce at 20.5 to 21.5. You’re the football fan, so you decide. Some say he hasn’t had the best season, but something has worked – because he’s at the Super Bowl.

  • Will Travis And Taylor Get Married By June 1, 2025

    This writer says yes! I do believe they will get married, and do it by June 2025. They are both very family oriented, and it seems important to them. So go for it T and T! Oddsmakers say: Yes +150, No -200. Place your bets – then wait…
