Every year in late January, amid the blizzard of Super Bowl betting propositions that blankets Las Vegas sports books, one odd-looking wagering opportunity always stands out to me.
It asks whether the shortest touchdown in the Super Bowl will be over or under 1.5 yards. Essentially, the question is whether there will be a 1-yard or "zero-yard" (such as a fumble recovery in the end zone) touchdown in the game.
You'll hear plenty of hocus-pocus analysis regarding the over/under 1.5 yards, as fans, media pundits and (lest we forget) "professional handicappers" make their predictions on how the Super Bowl will unfold.
