44 prop bets to make the State of the Union a little more interesting

Following a bitter back-and-forth with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Donald Trump is set to deliver his State of the Union address Tuesday night. You can watch the speech live on your FOX station at 8 p.m. CT / 9 p.m. ET. The delayed speech comes ahead of what could be another partial government shutdown.

In an excerpt of the speech released by the White House, Trump will call on Congress "to break decades of political stalemate and to build new coalitions to unlock the extraordinary promise of America's future." But while the president may talk about unity, he may also argue for declaring a national emergency to build a southern border wall and bypass Democrats in Congress.

The primary Democratic response will come from Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, an unusual choice since she lost the election and holds no elective office, but she is seen as a rising star in the party.

If the stage isn't set with enough drama, you can make the State of the Union a little more interesting with these prop bets:
