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.

2017 Super Bowl Quarterback Props Odds and Expert Betting Picks
by Dave Schwab - 1/30/2017

The starting quarterbacks for each NFL team in a Super Bowl will normally command a great deal of attention in the days leading up to the big game, but with the New England Patriots playing the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI in Houston on Sunday, Feb. 5, the starting quarterbacks are the story in this matchup.

2017 Expert Super Bowl Picks: Betting Predictions For Patriots vs. Falcons
by Alan Matthews - 1/27/2017

Think about what amazing championship games we have had in 2016 and early '17. Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and Warriors in Oakland brought us the "Block" and gave the city of Cleveland its first-ever NBA title. Game 7 of the World Series between the Cubs and Indians in Cleveland brought us the "Rain Delay" and gave the North Side of Chicago its first World Series title in 108 years.

2017 Super Bowl MVP Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Picks
by Chris Vasile - 1/27/2017

The NFL is and always has been a league driven by superstar quarterbacks, and it only makes sense that on the biggest stage of them all that the QBs tend to shine and lead their team to glory. The Super Bowl MVP has been awarded to a quarterback seven times out of the last 10 seasons. However, two of the last three MVP awards have gone to a defensive player.

2017 Super Bowl Public Action Betting Report
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2017

I'm a geek for betting action, and this year's Super Bowl is like geek Christmas. It's just fascinating. I love watching how lines are set and how they move, and I like trying to figure out why they are doing what they are doing. It's fun to do for any sporting event that has odds set for it. The Super Bowl, though, is a whole different animal. All the other events act in basically the same ways. Some get more action than others, but they respond to the same basic things.

Super Bowl Props Expert Picks: Quarterback Passing Props Odds
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2017

The quarterbacks are the stars of the game of football, and in this Super Bowl we have two of the biggest stars out there. That means that it is going to be one heck of a quarterback matchup. And that, in turn, means that the Super Bowl passing props, which are always interesting, hold particular appeal this year. Here are five of the more interesting props offered (odds are from BetOnline):

2017 Super Bowl Totals Predictions and Expert Picks for Over or Under Betting
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2017

I don't really like betting totals. I just don't care about them that much. As a guy who spends his days writing about sports betting, that's not the kind of thing I should probably admit, but it's a fact. Here's my thing - a two-touchdown victory is impressively dominant to me whether it's a 17-3 game or a 48-34 game. I'm a winner and loser guy, and I like to think about how much teams are going to win by and how well different players are going to perform. And I hate nothing more than having a totals bet ruined by some meaningless point scored in garbage time. Totals are mostly just boring to me.

2017 Super Bowl Props Picks: Betting Advice for Rushing Totals
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2017

This is a great matchup of quarterbacks for Super Bowl LI. It would be tough not to be excited about it. The same can't be said necessarily, though, about the showdown between running games. It's not horrible by any means - both teams have a 1,000-yard rusher and some running back depth. This just doesn't have the feeling of a game that is going to be decided by who can grind out the yards on the ground.

2018 Super Bowl Early Betting Odds with Expert NFL Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2017

Proving that it's never too early to look ahead, BookMaker posted futures odds for Super Bowl LII on Tuesday - nearly two weeks before Super Bowl LI is even played. It would, of course, be seven kinds of insane to make serious bets on these numbers now - before coaching staffs are finalized, free agency happens, or the draft occurs. Heck, we might not even know what city every team will be playing in yet. Just because we can't seriously bet them doesn't mean we can't have some fun looking at them, though.

2017 Super Bowl Betting Trends with Expert Wagering Analysis
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2017

No football for two weeks - unless you count the Pro Bowl, and that is of course impossible to do because that is nothing like real football. It's a rough time to be an obsessed football bettor. The good news, though, is that the time off gives us plenty of opportunities to look at the Super Bowl from every possible angle in the hunt for any edge we can possibly find. One obvious place to spend time is looking at trends for both teams, so hopefully this long collection of 2017 Super Bowl betting trends will help you both fill the time off you have and find massive profits when the big game does roll around:

Handicapping the 2017 Super Bowl Quarterbacks with Expert Betting Advice
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2017

The quarterbacks are often the star attraction in the Super Bowl, and that is certainly the case with this matchup. Tom Brady vs. Matt Ryan. Matty Ice vs. a guy who doesn't need a nickname. The elder statesman of the NFL, who is playing as well as he ever has, against one of the rising players - one who could very easily be MVP this year. Two guys who fling it fearlessly and with ruthless efficiency. It doesn't get much better than this - especially if you like seeing lots of passing yards and touchdowns through the air.

2017 Super Bowl Wagering Advice and Help: Over and Underrated Handicapping Factors
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2017

I remember back 13 or 14 years ago, when I first wrote about the Super Bowl, thinking how the media coverage of the Super Bowl was out of control. How naive I was. The coverage back then was basically non-existent compared to what it is now thanks to social media, easily-made video content, everyone having a podcast, and everything else that overwhelms us from every direction leading up to the biggest of games.
