There was no snow, no mention of Beast Mode, and there was no power outage.
But Super Bowl 48 props still managed to excite and provide profits for bettors on Seattle's 43-8 demolition of the Denver Broncos.
Try the 'safety' as the first score of the game, which paid out big time for very bold, lucky bettors. And the props on 'defensive team TD' and 'special team TD' both came around as the Seahawks ran roughshod over Peyton Manning.
And Gatorade prop bettors double-dipped on online sportsbook Sportsbook, which paid out wagers on both orange and yellow Gatorade shower odds. Coach Pete Carroll got two showers so they paid out both bets.
The 'anyone else' prop won the Super Bowl MVP odds bet, as linebacker Malcolm Smith won the award over plenty of high-profile candidates.
For the fourth time in five games pitting the top defense against the top offense, the No. 1 defense won the Super Bowl.
