Coin Toss prop (don't laugh until you look inside) Okay, you can laugh now.
Seriously though, as you may be aware, this prop has been worded as "Team to receive the opening kickoff" in recent years, apparently becase the coin toss is not considered a sporting event, and therefore can't be wagered on in Nevada's race and sports books?
The reason i bring the "Team to receive kickoff" prop up is that i know the Steelers have deferred the opening kickoff at least once this year; i know that because i bet Pittsburgh several weeks ago, only to watch the Steelers defer the opening kickoff and then give up a touchdown on the kickoff return. That was fun.
My question is, does anyone know how many times the Steelers have deferred this year after winning the coin toss? And what about the Packers? Do they always take the ball when winning the toss, or do they like to defer as well? Just something i was wondering about. This isn't necessarily a 50/50 prop, but i have no idea where to get this kind of information. Any help would be appreciated.
About the actual coin toss (worded as such), i noticed that they're listing it on the M sheet this year (-102 both ways). I guess i just assumed that books weren't allowed offer this prop anymore, because i hadn't seen it listed that way in such a long time. Kind of surprised when i saw it.
