Sports Betting Futures Odds: Super Bowl Week is Here

by - 2/3/2016

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning

Super Bowl 50 is just days away. We will soon find out if Peyton Manning is going out on top (if he is going out at all?) or if Cam Newton caps off an MVP-caliber season with his first championship. The Panthers are favored by almost a touchdown, in part because Manning appears to be on his last legs while Newton is clearly in the prime of his career. Who will enjoy a better performance on Sunday?

Cam Newton props

Zero interceptions (+125) -Newton tossed only 10 INTs in 16 games during the regular season. He went unscathed in the playoff opener against Seattle before the Cardinals victimized him once in the NFC Championship. Denver was tied for 13th in the NFL with 14 regular-season picks. One interception is +130, while two or more picks is +400.

One touchdown pass (+165) -The Atlanta native has thrown exactly one TD only five times this season, playoffs included. He has done so just once in the last nine outings. Newton has passed for five scores an impressive three times in Carolina's last nine games. Zero TD passes is +500, two is +175, three is +350, and four or more is +900.

Over 232.5 passing yards (-115) -Newton has surpassed this total (232.5) on five occasions out of the last seven games. He racked up 335 yards through the air against Arizona even though the Panthers led big from start to finish, which they are borderline expected to do against Denver on Sunday.

Over 38.5 rushing yards (-140) - The former Heisman Trophy winner has been all over the map with his feat this season. At times he does nothing (three yards vs. the Cardinals, twice in the last four regular-season games with 10 yards or less). But he also galloped for 100 in a win over the Giants and has outperformed this total (38.5) nine times in 18 games.

Peyton Manning props

Zero interceptions (+170) - Manning got picked off 17 times in 10 games during the regular season. Carolina led the entire NFL in interceptions with 24. All of that may point to a rough day at the office for Manning, but he has not yet been picked through two playoff performances. One interception is +130, while two or more picks is +400.

One touchdown pass (+175) - The one-time Super Bowl champion did not do much in the divisional round against Pittsburgh, instead relying on the running game and the defense. But he passed for two scores at New England's expense in the AFC Championship. Zero TD passes is +225, two is +250, three is +900, and four or more is +1800.

Over 235.5 passing yards (-115) - Manning threw for 222 against the Steelers and a mere 176 against the Patriots. But the Broncos never trailed against Tom Brady and company, whereas they may have to air it out from behind against Carolina. In eight full regular-season contests, the 39-year-old eclipsed this total (235.5) on six occasions.

Longest completion over 34.5 yards (Even) - It's no secret that Manning cannot exactly launch the ball a long way down the field-Aaron Rodgers style-at this point in his career. But he does have receivers such as Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas who can make plays. Sanders caught 34-yarders against both Pittsburgh and New England.


National Championship

Oklahoma (+600) -The Sooners have only two losses during this 2015-16 campaign-one in triple-overtime at Kansas and the other at a red-hot Iowa State squad. They feature arguably the best player in the nation in Buddy Hield, who is averaging 25.8 points per game.

North Carolina (+650) -Is there any team more talented than the Tar Heels? Maybe not. Their roster includes Brice Johnson, Marcus Paige, Justin Jackson, and Kennedy Meeks-just to name a few. UNC lost at Louisville on Monday but is still 19-3 overall and 8-1 in the ACC.

Kansas (+1000) -The Jayhawks won the game of the year against Oklahoma. However, they have since cooled off in considerable fashion. Kansas has dropped three of its last six contests and it was almost 2-4 in its last six, but it managed to survive visiting Kentucky 90-84 in OT last weekend.

Maryland (+1000) -A daunting inside-outside attack is on display whenever Maryland takes the court, led by big men Robert Carter and Diamond Stone to go along with guard Melo Trimble. The Terrapins' only three setbacks have come on the road-at UNC, at Michigan, and at Michigan State.

Phoenix Open

Bubba Watson (+100 0) -What's not to like about Watson's chances this week at the best-attended event in all of golf? He won the Hero World Challenge in December and finished 10 th last month in Kapalua. Watson has also tied for second at the Phoenix Open each of the last two years.

Rickie Fowler (+1400) -Fowler missed the cut last week at Torrey Pines, but he was making a quick turnaround after winning a tournament in Abu Dhabi. Nobody should have any reservations about Fowler's current form. He finished a mediocre 46th last season but carded a final-round 67.

Brandt Snedeker (+1400) -Is anyone in the world playing better golf than Snedeker right now? Well, maybe Jordan Spieth. Snedeker place third in Kapalua, lost in a playoff one week later at the Sony Open, and he got over the hump to lift the winner's trophy on Monday at Torrey Pines. He was T10 at the 2015 Phoenix Open.

Brooks Koepka (+1600) - Koepka won this event last year, firing weekend rounds of 64 and 66 to beat Watson and two others by a single shot. The 25-year-old out of Florida State University finished third in Kapalua, so he has to be feeling good about his chances in Phoenix for a number of reasons.
