Super Bowl Betting Recap
by Robert Ferringo - 2/9/2010
Whenever I talk to people before the Super Bowl they still all say the same thing, "I just hope it's a good game." It's as if the blowouts of the late 80s and most of the 90s still have an impact on the expectations that people have for The Big Game. Well, those days are over. This is now three straight years that we have had games in which there were fourth quarter lead changes. And if you look back at the last 11 Super Bowls there were six that were decided by a touchdown or less and six that were decided on the final drive of the game.

If you haven't yet made your Super Bowl picks then you are probably getting more and more confused with every little bit of news and insight that you read. Allow me to add to that confusion.

Free Super Bowl Picks
by Alan Matthews - 2/4/2010
Are you one of the lucky ones who got the New Orleans Saints +6 when it opened there at Bodog? Good luck getting that now, as it has moved to +5 on that site and is down to 4.5 most everywhere else. Certainly, Dwight Freeney's injury could be a major factor, but the underdog usually tends to get the late action regardless. Of course, bookmakers know the public leans on the dog late so they could move the line a bit to counteract all of the late action on the underdog.

I don't care about the food. I don't care about the size of the television. I don't care about the booze offered. If you want to have a kick-ass Super Bowl party you need to have one thing kicking: lots and lots of gambling.

Betting the Super Bowl Total
by Robert Ferringo - 2/4/2010
Apparently, defense isn't allowed in the NFL anymore. This January we have seen a dizzying display of offensive artistry as points have been a-plenty through the 10 games that we've witnessed. And the two teams that have survived the splurging are - not surprisingly - the two best offensive clubs in the NFL, Indianapolis and New Orleans.

Super Bowl 44 Betting Preview

Manning and Indianapolis will face New Orleans at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday in Miami in Super Bowl 44. The Colts are presently listed as five-point favorites and the total is situated at 56.5. The line on this game actually opened at 4.5 and was immediately bet up to 5.5. However, recent action on the Saints has helped pull it down to five and even 4.5 at some books, while still other books have boosted the line to six.

Super Bowl Handicapping: Dwight Freeney Injury
by Trevor Whenham - 2/3/2010
In a lead up to the Super Bowl that has been pleasingly short on drama, the biggest story out there from a betting perspective and otherwise is Dwight Freeney's ankle. The workhorse of the Indianapolis defense injured his ankle late in the AFC Championship Game, and that has created a great deal of uncertainty regarding his role and his potential impact in the big game - if he is even able to play at all.

Super Bowl Halftime Betting
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/2/2010
Some lines coming out of Las Vegas are more scrutinized than others and the Super Bowl opening line is certainly one of those that gets a lot of attention. Ranking close behind it has to be the Super Bowl second half line. Halftime betting allows bettors to wager on the score of the second half only and overtime if necessary.

Hot Super Bowl Trend: No. 1 Seeds Meeting in the Super Bowl
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/2/2010
Home field advantage in the NFL playoffs may not be what it is all cracked up to be. Earning the top seed in your conference and playing two home games to get to the Super Bowl sounds easy enough but before this season it has not happened in both the AFC and NFC in the same year since 1993.

Super Bowl MVP Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 2/1/2010
Betting on who is going to be the Super Bowl MVP might be the least interesting wager that you make this year. It's gotta be Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, right? With a total of 57.5 and two of the best offenses of the last 10 years on the field the winner of the Lombardi Trophy will be the triggerman of whichever attack puts up the most points next Sunday in Miami. It's as if the entire bloody sport has been reduced to a game of Skee-Ball.

Super Bowl Handicapping
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2010
The Super Bowl is, from a betting perspective and every other one for that matter, an entirely different football game than every other one that is played each year. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it's such a spectacle and that you're going to be watching it so you have to bet on it, it's the kind of game that you probably wouldn't go anywhere near as a bettor in normal circumstances.

Odd Super Bowl Bets
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2010
The most interesting part of the Super Bowl - at least from a betting perspective - is the incredible range of prop bets that are offered. Some of them are the typical types that are offered on most games every week of the season. The books get far more creative this week than any other, though. Many of those props aren't a particularly good bet, but that doesn't mean that they aren't fun. Here's a look at some of the more interesting props on offer (all odds are from Bodog):

Ranking the Super Bowl Winning Coaches
by Robert Ferringo - 1/28/2010
There are only 26 coaches that have ever won a Super Bowl and this year rookie coach Jim Caldwell and relative neophyte Sean Payton are fighting to be No. 27. Chuck Noll is at the head of the class in terms of Super Bowl coaches with the most wins. He was a perfect 4-0 in The Big Game. Bill Walsh, Bill Belichick and Joe Gibbs are right behind him with three wins and then eight other coaches are a pair of rings.

Super Bowl Betting Pools Make Game Entertaining For Casual Fans
by Trevor Whenham - 1/28/2010
There are certain things that are required for watching and enjoying the Super Bowl. Among them: lots of people to watch with and hopefully mock when your insights prove superior to theirs, lots and lots of beer, snacks so good and so bad for you that you can feel your life getting shorter with every bite, a good TV (the more the merrier), and gambling - lots of gambling. You see, at the heart of it the Super Bowl is an endurance test - it's painfully long, and it's often not the most exciting game in the world.

Betting the Super Bowl 'Over' and 'Under'
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/28/2010
When the Super Bowl rolls around there is plenty of talk about the point spread and all the outrageous Super Bowl props out there as well. With so many different props and Super Bowl Block Pools, the total often gets overlooked. When betting the Super Bowl 'over/under' there are plenty of things to take into account. The game presents many scenarios that are rare to the NFL.

Ranking the Super Bowls
by Trevor Whenham - 1/27/2010
The Super Bowl isn't always a good game. Sometimes, in fact, it is a real stinker. I'm not anticipating a life-changing game that I will remember forever this year. There have been, though, some truly memorable games played. Here is my attempt, based on memory and what I have read, at ranking the Super Bowls, or at least the 10 best. I'm not going to worry about one specific element that made them so good, because each game had its own strengths.

2010 Super Bowl Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/27/2010
The big game is less than two weeks away, so now is the perfect time to start making a fool of myself by making some bold Super Bowl predictions. The last time I wrote an article making Super Bowl Predictions - at the beginning of January before the first game had been played - I suggested that the Saints were in real trouble and that I didn't expect them to win a game.

Betting on the Super Bowl Coin Toss
by Matt Severance - 1/26/2010
Obviously, betting on the Super Bowl coin toss is going to be even odds on heads or tails no matter where you bet - BetED has it at -110, while Bodog opened its coin toss odds at -105 for each. And, scarily enough, the most overwhelming Super Bowl betting trend of the past 12 years has been the coin toss: the NFC has won it 12 years in a row and is 29-14 all-time in calling the right side of the coin.
