I’m not a gambler, but I do know people will bet about almost anything. Ā Now, the online gambling company Bovada is not only allowing fans to bet on this weekend’s football games, but also the ratings they’ll generate.

I think this is a great idea. Ā As you can see from the photo, the Green Bay market is favored to win and rightfully so, but that doesn’t mean they’ll walk away with it. Ā If the Seahawks start blowing the Packers out, chances are their fans will start tuning out. Ā Also, prime-time games usually get better ratings and the Colts and Patriots play at 6:40 pm, but considering all that, I’d still pick Green Bay. Ā It will be interesting to see how many people participate in this prop-bet.
