A pretty fun betting prop they have for the NFL is "Beast or Man".
Basically you pick whether the Super Bowl will be won by a beast (Colt, Jaguar, Seahawk, Bear, etc) or by a man (Patriot, Cowboy, Giant, etc)
Currently, Man is favored, 6-5.

Man
Redskins, Giants, Cowboys, Buccaneers, Vikings, Saints, 49ers, Patriots, Steelers, Titans, Texans, Chiefs, Raiders
Beast
Eagles, Lions, Bears, Panthers, Falcons, Seahawks, Rams, Cardinals, Dolphins, Bengals, Ravens, Colts, Jaguars, Broncos
Unknown/Other
Packers, Jets, Bills, Browns, Chargers
These even up pretty well, although I'd definitely take Man.

I think a Bill would be a beast and a Packer would be a man?

Too late if you were going to try and predict the craziest thing to happen this NFL season:
RUDI’S CRAZY DAY IN DETROIT
Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 9:17 p.m. EDT
A strange thing happened to running back Rudi Johnson when he visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday.
Someone stole his stuff.
Seriously.
Specifically, and as we’re told by a reliable source (i.e., not the person who told Mort that Joey Harrington had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Monday, or the person who told John Clayton that Todd Bouman had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Tuesday), Johnson left his bags outside CEO Matt Millen’s office while he met with team officials and, ultimately, worked out a deal with the team.
So when Johnson came back to get his bags, they were nowhere to be found. Johnson and Millen were stumped.
Enter the eye in the sky.
The team checked the videotapes generated by the team’s in-house surveillance system, and they quickly identified the culprit.
So who might it have been? None other than Tatum Bell, who lost his gig with the Lions after Rudi arrived.
Per the source, Bell took the bags to the house of a female acquaintance. When confronted on the matter, Bell offered up some cockamamie story that he thought the bags belonged to someone he knew. The girl, however, said that she hadn’t seen Bell in several months and he showed up out of the blue and asked her to keep the bags for a while.
Johnson has retrieved the bags, and it’s our understanding that charges won’t be pressed.
Tatum apparently didn’t know that he was being monitored.
Fortunately, the displaced running back wasn’t Najeh Davenport.

Since the Browns are named after Paul Brown, I'd put them in the Man category.
