Super Bowl 52 Odds & Props: The Game, The Entertainment & The Broadcast

Our Super Bowl 52 coverage continues today with early odds and props for everything on the game, itself, the halftime show, the broadcast, and celebrity sightings. Hardcore game analysis will be coming tomorrow (paper version) and Friday (podcast version). For now, use the first set of props below to get an early jump on your betting analysis. Use the remainder for your enjoyment, and to help forget the fact that the Patriots are in the Super Bowl again. Sigh. Because another week of Bill Belichick media availability is just what this world needed.
