Every facet of the Super Bowl lends itself to wagering, even the outcome of the coin toss, so we're here to offer a few take-it-to-the-bank items now that the Twin Cities officially has secured the 2018 extravaganza.

Locals will gush about the economic impact; out-of-towners will grumble about our weather. Our downtown skyway system will be regaled as an architectural marvel by partygoers and celebrities.

Guests will rave about the Vikings' new stadium. Critics of Zygi Wilf won't.

Prince and the Purple People Eaters will become popular subjects for the media horde. Speaking of media, somebody at Team Strib will be assigned to cover the zaniness of media day in an attempt to find the worst question ever asked in a semi-professional setting.

Finally, as we gaze deep into our crystal ball, we see a matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks. Andrew Luck vs. Russell Wilson, two veteran quarterbacks in the prime of their career.

OK, maybe you shouldn't put down any money on that one. Stick with the coin toss instead.

Tails never fails.
