2018 Super Bowl Wagering Advice: Props to Avoid
by Chris Vasile - 1/30/2018

We are just five days away from Super Bowl LII, and the anticipation is building with every mention of snacks, office pools and crazy props bets that sportsbooks are offering up to bettors. We live in a world where every aspect of any major sporting event is analyzed and picked apart until we are left with bits and pieces of how the outcome came to be instead of just enjoying the outcome as a whole. If you are stuck or torn in any way regarding the side you feel has the best chance to emerge victorious, I highly recommended zeroing in a select few prop bets that you actually like instead of playing them all with the possibility of losing a ton of money.

2018 Expert Super Bowl Handicapping: Public Bias
by Trevor Whenham - 1/30/2018

There is no bigger event in sports than the Super Bowl. We can forget just how crazy popular the NFL is, but it is a total beast - the Pro Bowl, which is a totally unwatchable farce, got better viewership numbers than all but six college football games this year. And as big as it is from week to week, it reaches dramatically higher heights this week leading up to the Super Bowl. Because the Super Bowl gets so much attention, and because so many casual bettors who don't typically wager bet on this game, we need to be even more aware than normal of the public bias at play here and what it means for how the lines are set and how they move.

Free Super Bowl Picks: Quarterback Props Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2018

The best part of Super Bowl betting is the prop bets. And one of the most consistently interesting types of prop bets has to do with passing the ball and catching it. These props present a really interesting puzzle because they have so much to do with how the game will turn out - especially with two quarterbacks like these who like to throw as much as they can. Here's a look at some of the most interesting Super Bowl passing props from BetOnline and Bovada:

2018 Super Bowl Betting Advice: Handicapping the Quarterbacks
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2018

After a battle of the quarterback titans in the Super Bowl last year, we've got more of a David and Goliath situation here. Tom Brady has established himself as the greatest QB of all time, and even if you don't like him you would struggle to argue against that. Nick Foles, meanwhile, had one magical season in 2013 and has struggled badly in his attempt to recapture that magic since then. Now he is making just his fourth career playoff start, and playing in by far the biggest game he has ever played in, while Brady has just made an annual tradition of playing in the Super Bowl. This QB matchup is going to be a big factor in this game - it always is - so it only makes sense to compare the two guys from a few different angles:

2018 Super Bowl Wagering Advice: Handicapping the Coaching Matchup
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2018

I would suggest that there is nothing that determines the fate of an NFL team more than a head coach - with a starting quarterback being a close second. And in a game as important and stressful as this one the difference can often come down to coaches making decisions -- just ask the Seahawks about the impact a bad choice can have or the Falcons about what failing to adapt at the half or adjust to overcome a collapse can do to a game. It only makes sense, then, that we spend some time comparing the coaches in this game. As is always the case when Belichick is involved, we have a disparity in experience here between Bill Belichick and Doug Pederson:

Justin Timberlake Super Bowl Halftime Betting Prop Odds and Predictions
by Raphael Esparza - 1/29/2018

This Sunday will be the first time Justin Timberlake will perform since the Super Bowl 38 halftime show with Janet Jackson, and we all know what happened in that performance. Offshore sports books have lined up halftime betting propositions involving anything and everything Timberlake, and right now I'm going to break down some of these Timberlake halftime props. If you are going to place some cash on Timberlake halftime bets, I highly recommend betting them early because these numbers will move quickly because of low limits.

Expert Tips and Advice for Betting Super Bowl Props in 2018
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2018

There is one thing that makes the Super Bowl indeed the greatest of all NFL games. It's not the quality of the game - the Super Bowl is as likely to be a dud as any other. It's rarely the halftime show - though I still think of that crazy walking lion of a couple of years ago. And it's certainly not how fast the game flies by - this is one endless endurance test of a sports viewing challenge.

2018 Super Bowl 52 MVP Odds and Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2018

There is no need for a long and detailed introduction here - BetOnline has listed odds regarding which player will be named Super Bowl MVP this year, and we're going to look at them. And the good first step in doing so is to learn from recent history about what makes sense to look for. Not surprisingly, and reflected in the odds here, the quarterbacks have a good edge in this race. Twelve of the last 19 Super Bowl MVPs have been the winning quarterback. And four of those 12 have been Tom Brady, so we know he is capable of a big game on this day.

2018 Super Bowl Betting and Money Management to Protect Bankroll
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2018

The Super Bowl is unlike any other football game. The stakes are higher. The media attention is dramatically more than other games. Many people watch this game - and bet on it - who don't watch another game all year. Teams have an extra week to prepare and countless distractions to deal with. The truth is that all of these factors and more means that this really isn't a great game to bet on - certainly worse than many others played each year.

Super Bowl Coin Toss Betting 2018: History and Trends
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2018

There are dozens and dozens of Super Bowl prop bets available, and the number seems to grow almost exponentially every year. And I mostly love prop bets - the more the better. There is one that has been available for years, though, that truly and completely drives me insane. It's just so stupid. I'm speaking, of course, about the coin toss prop bet. So dumb.

Ranking the Best Super Bowls of All Time
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2018

It's time for another of our annual Super Bowl traditions around here - ranking the best Super Bowls of all time. And thankfully the list has changed a little bit after a couple of years without changes. Last year's game is just the second game since 2008 to break into the Top 10. But we got a heck of a game last year, and here's hoping we get another classic this year. Here, in ascending order, are the Top 10 Super Bowl games from the 51 that have been played - at least by my eyes:

Bet the Dog on Sunday! Puppy Bowl Odds Released
by Raphael Esparza - 2/4/2017

I always tell people you can put odds up on anything and you will get action no matter what it is, and our friends over at 5Dimes haven't proven us wrong yet. Again, I do not have a gambling problem because of what I'm going to throw down this Super Bowl Sunday, and my wager has nothing to do with Super Bowl 51.

2017 Super Bowl Free Betting Picks and Predictions: First Touchdown Scorer Props
by Chris Vasile - 2/2/2017

So far, this week I've covered the basic and most important aspects of betting the Super Bowl. I gave advice on how to bet the total, which key matchups could have the biggest impact on the outcome of the game, and everyone's favorite - the MVP award. Now comes the fun and "outside-of-the-box" type prop bets that have become almost, if not more, fun to wager on than the actual game itself. There are now hundreds of prop bets available covering things like Gatorade color, length of the National Anthem, what color hair Lady Gaga will have, and several cross-sport bets involving the NBA and NHL.

2017 Super Bowl Totals Betting: Expert Picks and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 2/2/2017

Hard to believe it's already the end of the 2016 NFL season this Sunday at Super Bowl LI - yep, we're unfortunately back to Roman Numerals this year. I highly doubt anyone bet on every game I previewed, but it was a productive season overall with a record solidly above break-even on both the sides and the totals.

2017 Super Bowl Wagering Advice: Props to Avoid
by Chris Vasile - 2/2/2017

We are just three days away from Super Bowl LI, and the anticipation is building with every mention of the snacks, office pools and crazy props bets that sportsbooks are offering up to bettors. Today we live in a world where every aspect of any major sporting event is analyzed and picked apart until we are left with bits and pieces of how the outcome came to be instead of just enjoying the outcome as a whole. If you are stuck or torn in any way regarding the side you feel has the best chance to emerge victorious, I highly recommended turning your attention to a few prop bets to get your action in and feel good about your chances to make some money.

2017 Super Bowl Matchup Props: Odds and Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 2/1/2017

Football is the ultimate team game. No other sport requires so many players to do their jobs well in order to win. That's what makes it such a great sport. Sometimes, though, it is very interesting to look beyond the team aspect and consider the head-to-head showdowns. Looking at the individuals over the team is what has made fantasy football the runaway hit that it is. And during the Super Bowl the matchup props, which allow us to compare two players and bet on which will have the better individual play, is a pleasing and potentially-profitable diversion from everything else we have to bet on and handicap.

2017 Super Bowl Betting and Wagering Advice: Key Matchups
by Chris Vasile - 2/1/2017

Football is typically described as a game of inches. Just ask Kevin Dyson, who came up a mere yard short of tying up Super Bowl XXXIV as time expired. Or just ask the Seattle Seahawks of Super Bowl XLIX, who decided to throw the ball from the six-inch line instead of running it in for the go-ahead and potentially Super Bowl-winning touchdown. The Super Bowl is usually decided by one massive play that changes the momentum of the game - usually a huge catch (David Tyree - Super Bowl XLII) or a big-time blunder (Scott Norwood's missed game-winning field goal as time expired).

2017 Super Bowl Props Expert Betting Advice with Tips and Help for Newbies
by Robert Ferringo - 1/31/2017

Sports are a distraction. They are a well of willful ignorance and a hollow husk of entertainment. And while I think that my reasonable cynicism toward sports is well earned, even I can admit that right now we could all use a decent diversion. So, for at least one glorious day, let's turn our attention to The Spectacle of Sport to help settle our dystopian-addled nerves: Bring on Super Bowl Sunday and the grandiosity of our most violent national holiday. \

Betting On The Super Bowl Over or Under: Expert Tips and Wagering Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 1/31/2017

Last year's Super Bowl featured a matchup of two of the best NFL defenses of the past century. The Panthers and Broncos played a grinder, with the offenses (two touchdowns) barely outscoring the defenses (one touchdown). And now, one year later, The Big Game features two of the best offenses in the sport setting up for what could be a historic shootout.

Betting the Super Bowl Totals Line Expert Tips and Advice
by Chris Vasile - 1/30/2017

Super Bowl LI might be the least interesting Super Bowl since the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers back in Super Bowl XLVII. The majority of the world simply hates the New England Patriots with a passion. The only people who want to see Tom Brady win his fourth Super Bowl are the residents of Massachusetts.
