Super Bowl 59 is here, and you can bet on America's number one game with America's number one sportsbook any way you want. Fun markets. Who have the most yards? Tons of same-game parlays. Offensive titties in the next drive. So much more.
It's the most fun thing about the Super Bowl for me, other than watching the game. I love the Super Bowl props. You can also check out their Super Bowl squares, pick your own numbers, and... Make your pick for a kick of Destiny 3 between the Manning brothers. I'm picking Peyton Manning every time because Eli Manning took two Super Bowls from me, so he can screw off.
