Sports Betting Futures Odds: Brady, Gronk, Gurley in Line for Big Super Bowl?


by - 1/29/2019

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski

Who's going to come up big in Super Bowl LIII? Tom Brady? Rob Gronkowski? Todd Gurley? NFC Championship hero Greg Zuerlein? Amidst the football frenzy, Anthony Davis is doing his best to keep the NBA relevant by making a well-publicized trade demand. Meanwhile, Duke is rolling on the college hardwood and things are heating up on the links.

All odds provided by MyBookie.ag.

Super Bowl LIII

Tom Brady over 314.5 passing yards (-115) - Rookie running back Sony Michel has the ground game cooking, which may take away from Brady's yardage. However, the five-time Super Bowl champion threw for 505 yards in last year's loss to Philadelphia and that was without go-to receiver Julian Edelman.

Todd Gurley over 67.5 rushing yards (+105) - Gurley is the x-factor in Super Bowl LIII. Once in the NFL MVP discussion, the former UGA standout has not been the same since missing the last two games of the regular season with a knee injury. He had 13 total yards during the NFC Championship.

Rob Gronkowski over 54.5 receiving yards (-125) - From a numbers standpoint (nine catches, 116 yards, two touchdowns), Super Bowl LII was Gronkowki's best game of the entire 2017 campaign. He is finally trending upward following an extensive slump with 79 yards on six receptions in the AFC Championship.

Greg Zuerlein longest field goal over 50.5 yards (-120) - Zuerlein was the hero in Los Angeles' 26-23 overtime defeat of New Orleans, with a 48-yarder to force OT followed by the game-winner from 57 yards away. Conditions are sure to be kicker-friendly in Atlanta, as the stadium has a retractable roof.

Anthony Davis

To be traded before the deadline (+150) - Davis, who has the rest of this season and next on his contract, has demanded a trade from New Orleans. There are plenty of suitors, but the Pelicans insist that they are in no rush to deal their star big man prior to the Feb. 7 deadline without an overwhelming offer.

To be a member of the Raptors on Feb. 8 (+500) - The Lakers are getting all the headlines, but Toronto is the leading contender according the odds. A deal would likely include Pascal Siakam, draft picks, and expiring contracts. New Orleans is a -200 favorite to keep Davis-for now.

To be a member of the Lakers on Feb. 8 (+600) - Los Angeles could package Lonzo Ball, Ivica Zubac, a pick, and either Brandon Ingram or Kyle Kuzma. Would Magic Johnson be willing to part with that cast? The Clippers are a +700 fourth choice.

To be a member of the Celtics at the start of 2018-19 (+200) - Boston cannot do a deal for Davis until the offseason, because it previously traded for Kyrie Irving and he is the team's designated player (under NBA rules, a team cannot acquire more than one designated player via trade). The Lakers are a +300 second choice.

National Championship

Duke (+200) - Duke has righted the ship in just about every way since suffering its second loss of the season to Syracuse earlier this month. Point guard Tre Jones is back earlier than expected from a shoulder injury and even without him the Blue Devils managed to beat previously undefeated Virginia.

Gonzaga (+900) - Gonzaga is one of just two teams to have downed the Devils, beating Duke 89-87 on Nov. 21. The Zags endured back-to-back losses at the hands of North Carolina and Tennessee in December but have since won 10 in a row. Killian Tillie is back from injury, so this roster is loaded.

Virginia (+1000) - Virginia's resume is still sparkling, as a loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium is its lone blemish. Head coach Tony Bennett is once again orchestrating the best defense in all of college basketball. But can the Cavaliers erase last year's demons once the NCAA Tournament begins?

Tennessee (+1200) - If the tournament began today, Tennessee, Duke, and Virginia would have three of the No. 1 seeds on lockdown. The Volunteers are 18-1 overall (6-0 SEC) with a loss only to Kansas in overtime on Nov. 23. Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield have been outstanding. Kentucky is a +1400 fifth choice.

Waste Management Phoenix Open

John Rahm (+600) - Rahm placed T16 and T11 the last two years at this tournament, putting himself in at least distant contention (especially in 2018) heading into the final round on each occasion prior to unspectacular Sundays. The sixth-ranked Spaniard has produced four straight top-10 performances, including one win.

Justin Thomas (+1000) - Thomas has never done much in the desert, although his T17 showing last season was better than his missed cut in 2017. The fourth-ranked American fared decently on the Hawaiian swing earlier this month, with a third-place finish at Kapalua and a T16 at the Sony Open.

Hideki Matsuyama (+1400) - There is a lot to like about Matsuyama' chances this week. He has won five times on the PGA Tour, with two titles coming at this Phoenix Open (2016 and 2017, both in playoffs). The 26-year-old is in fine form, too, coming off a third-place performance at Torrey Pines.

Xander Schauffele (+1400) - Thanks in part to his come-from-behind triumph three weeks ago at Kapalua, Schauffele has quietly played his way up to No. 7 in the world rankings. The 25-year-old American placed T17 last February in Phoenix. Gary Woodland, whom Schauffele stunned at Kapalua, is a +1800 fifth choice.
