The Super Bowl offers a dizzying array of gambling opportunities, from anything you could imagine on the field to the coin toss and halftime show. But that doesn’t mean everything is covered. Here are a half-dozen prop bets we’d like to see for this weekend. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)

Words from anthem obscured by flyover: Over/under .5 National Anthems are always timed up to try to end right as the flyover happens. Sometimes, everything works great, with the planes zooming overhead right at the last note. Other times … not so much. This game’s in a dome, so it’ll be harder to tell, but the cameras will be trained on the planes. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum)

Brady/Ryan uses a politically-charged audible call: 8:1 This one’s open to some interpretation. We all know about Peyton Manning’s “Omaha,” but could we see a bit of topical jargon tossed in there from either quarterback this week?  (AP Photo/John Bazemore)

The Supreme Court decided Friday not to consider reinstating the government's $550,000 fine on CBS for Janet Jackson's infamous breast-bearing "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl.

Janet Jackson halftime show cameo: 10:1 The Super Bowl returns to Houston for the first time since the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” with only Lady Gaga slated to perform for the halftime show. But we know events like these often have surprise performers. Justin Timberlake is going to be in an ad this year … could the entertainment include Janet? (AP Photo/David Phillip, file)

Who will have more: Tom Brady pass attempts or Trump Executive orders in first 100 days? Pick’em This one can’t be settled on the field Sunday, but could be a barnburner. Feel free to make this wager with a friend who appreciates the long-term suspense of a season-long bet. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Will Joe Buck’s Deflategate joke include the word deflate? No: 2/1 You know it’s coming. Even if there isn’t a perfect opportunity presented to seamlessly fire one off, Buck will find a way to wedge a reference to the Patriots’ scandal. The only question is whether or not he’ll be obvious or coy about it. (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP)
