The safest pair of hands in the NFL takes the grandest stage of all this Sunday at Super Bowl XLVI. Sports Interaction is giving bettors a chance to profit from BenJarvus Green-Ellis' exception ball security.

The man they call The Law Firm has carried the rock 577 times for the New England Patriots and has never given up a fumble in his entire NFL career. BenJarvus Green Ellis is -650 to keep the streak alive in Super Bowl XLVI.

"The Law Firm has been impregnable to date. Whatever happens on the scoreboard Sunday, we expect BenJarvus Green-Ellis to have a safe pair of hands," says Al Dannity, betting analyst with Sports Interaction.

The Green-Ellis prop is one of hundreds on offer from Sports Interaction ahead of Sunday's showdown.

After Christina Aguilera's mishap last year, Kelly Clarkson is at +250 to forget any of the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

A repeat of the 17-14 score from Super Bowl XLII, the last time the Giants played the Patriots, is tremendous value at +4000. Gronking is most definitely on the cards Sunday as Rob Gronkowski is the favorite to score the first touchdown at +500.

"From the coin toss to Kelly Clarkson's hairdo, we've gone all in on delivering the greatest variety in Super Bowl props," says Dannity. "My personal favorite is betting on the color of the Gatorade shower. Yellow is favorite at -110."

This article is similar to the directly below, but instead of concentrating on conference trends as they pertain to betting against the spread, this one deals only with totals.
