2016 Super Bowl Passing Props Odds with Expert Betting Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 2/1/2016

From a passing perspective, this would be a much more compelling Super Bowl if time travel were invented. Newton as he is now against the Manning of three years ago would be must-see TV. As it is, the QB battle in this game appears to be a bit of a mismatch - an MVP against a shadow of a former one. There are a lot of factors, though, that make passing prop bets far more compelling than they might seem on the surface. Here's a breakdown of some of the more compelling Super Bowl passing props (all odds are from 5Dimes):

Super Bowl Rushing Props Odds with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 2/1/2016

You know we are getting close to the Super Bowl when the number of prop bets listed grows exponentially. Of major interest leading up to this game is the offenses. They are so very different in many ways. One is explosive and drives the team while the other just tries to stay out of the way and avoid mistakes while doing enough to win. One is at the top of their game. The other, to be kind, isn't. Given the way the game sets up, the Super Bowl rushing props that are offered are particularly interesting.

How to Bet Super Bowl Props Expert Advice and Tips
by Robert Ferringo - 1/29/2016

The Super Bowl is the ultimate sports spectacle, a living, breathing testament to American Exceptionalism. It is an opportunity to exercise our rights as Citizens of This Great Land to party hard, gamble openly, and enjoy sanctioned, state-financed violence just like the Good Lord intended. Super Bowl Sunday is a glorious, self-proclaimed national holiday and represents the apex of sports, entertainment and corporate whoring in our society.

2016 Super Bowl 50 Totals Betting: Expert Picks and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 1/29/2016

If I'm being honest, I generally stay away from betting the Super Bowl total most years. Why? For one, both teams have the same amount of time to prepare, so that's a wash. But mainly it's because there's no home-field advantage. The college football National Championship Game is also held at a neutral site, but those games are filled with fans from each team and some teams travel (Alabama) way better than others.

Super Bowl 50 MVP Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Picks
by George Monroy - 1/29/2016

The Super Bowl MVP is typically a quarterback's award, as evidenced by the fact that seven of the last 10 winners have been under center. Cam Newton and Peyton Manning currently hold the status as the favorites to win this year's award, but there are a host of defensive players staring with Denver's Von Miller that hold excellent value for bettors.

2016 Super Bowl Prop Bets to Avoid
by George Monroy - 1/29/2016

Super Bowl prop betting can be a fun and interesting way to wager on the game. And if trying to pick a side on this intriguing Carolina Panthers versus Denver Broncos matchup is giving you a headache, why not skip it all together? Prop bets are an excellent way to get action on the game and even find a little value if you do it right. However, prop bets can be tricky to wager on and many just fall into "sucker bet" territory. Let's take a closer look at Super Bowl prop betting and figure out which types of wagers to avoid and which offer the most value for the big game. The Super Bowl is scheduled for Sunday, February 7 at 6:30 p.m. EST on CBS.

2016 Super Bowl Totals Odds and Expert Betting Picks
by George Monroy - 1/28/2016

This year's Super Bowl 50 matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos is a tale of two quarterbacks. Peyton Manning may be standing at the edge of a legendary career and retirement, while Cam Newton is ready to kick down the door and signal his arrival into an elite club of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks. The biggest storylines leading up to the game might involve the quarterbacks, but this matchup promises to be a defensive battle between two of the top squads in the league. The question is whether Denver's defense can remain disciplined against a quarterback that moves out of the pocket and can run the ball.

Super Bowl 50 Props Picks and Expert Betting Advice
by Dave Schwab - 1/27/2016

Betting on the Super Bowl should be thought of as a marathon and not a sprint, especially when it comes to betting on any number of player and team props that will be released for what is easily the biggest single-day betting event of the year.

Super Bowl Handicapping and Betting: Analyzing the Quarterback Battle
by Trevor Whenham - 1/27/2016

When I look at the quarterbacks set to match up in Super Bowl 50 I can't help but be left with one thought above all others - this sure would be more fun if both guys were in their prime instead of just one. Cam Newton and Peyton Manning are warriors, though, and while they have definitely gone about it different ways, they are the only two quarterbacks still standing. Handicapping the Super Bowl requires a whole lot of thought about the two quarterbacks, so it will hopefully be helpful that we have broken down the matchup by seven different criteria:

by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2016

The Super Bowl MVP futures odds have been posted, and they are predictably very interesting. There are 13 different players listed at BetOnline, but it is really just a two-horse race with the rest far behind. Really, it is a one-horse race with another is closer pursuit in the pack. It's a race worth paying attention to - if only because it is a fun thing to root for during the game. To help get you in the spirit, here are my Super Bowl MVP odds and predictions (odds are from BetOnline):

Super Bowl Betting and Handicapping: How Public Bias Influences Lines
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2016

There is no higher-profile game to bet on than the Super Bowl. It's as big as it gets. When you are betting on any game you need to be aware of the biases that the public could have in perceiving how the game turns out and what impact that could have on how the lines are set and how they move. In the Super Bowl we need to be far more aware of public biases because the number of casual bettors who bet on this game is exponentially higher than normal.

Super Bowl Handicapping and Wagering: Examining the Coaching Matchup
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2016

The head coaches are always a big story leading up to the Super Bowl. After all, they are the guys who drive the ship. Ron Rivera and Gary Kubiak won't be nearly the focus as the coaches were last year - the Bill Belichick versus Pete Carroll storyline was compelling on so many levels. This is still a very exciting matchup, though, and one that is very much worth breaking down and looking at more closely.

Super Bowl Betting Money Management Advice 2016
by Trevor Whenham - 1/26/2016

When it comes to the Super Bowl betting, money management is absolutely crucial. There is so much excitement around the game, so many betting opportunities, and so much time before the game, that it can be easy to bet far too much of your bankroll on the game and to bet it in ways that don't give you the best chance of success - or at least the smallest risk of losing all your money.

Super Bowl Coin Toss Betting: History and Trends
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2016

There is no stupider way to throw away your money than betting on the Super Bowl coin toss. Actually, there are lots of dumber ways, but that doesn't mean that betting on the coin toss is even close to a good idea. Despite writing endlessly every year about how stupid the bet is - and I'll do it again this year - it continues to be a popular bet for sportsbooks to offer.

Ranking the Super Bowls: 10 Best Games in History
by Trevor Whenham - 1/25/2016

I last revisited my list of the 10 best Super Bowls ever played back in 2010. Sadly, not much has changed since then - only one game since has broken into this esteemed group. It's not that the games have been horrible lately by any means, but perhaps they haven't been as good as they could be. We can hope for a real gem this year - and the ingredients are there - but in the meantime let's look at the list as it stands now, just waiting to be disrupted and changed up by Super Bowl 50:

Free Super Bowl Pick: Expert Predictions for Patriots vs. Seahawks
by Alan Matthews - 1/29/2015

Green Bay Packers fans might argue, but I think Super Bowl XLIX got it right in that the NFL's best two teams are playing on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. It's our second straight chalk Super Bowl with AFC top-seeded New England facing NFC No. 1 Seattle. Since 1990, this is the fifth time in which both No. 1 seeds in the respective conferences reached the Super Bowl. It's the first time it has happened in back-to-back years. The NFC has won each of the four previous times there has been a matchup of No. 1 seeds.

2015 Super Bowl Wagering: Public Action Betting Report
by Trevor Whenham - 1/28/2015

Unlike most Super Bowls in recent memory, there is not a clear favorite in this year’s edition. In fact, we may not know for sure which team will be favored until close to kickoff. It’s all but certain, barring a major development, that the final spread will be less than a field goal. There is a chance that this could at least tie for the smallest spread either — we have seen a spread of a single point twice in the 48-year history of this game.

Super Bowl Team Props Odds: Shopping for the Best Proposition Lines
by Dave Schwab - 1/28/2015

Most of the top sportsbooks will release prop bet odds for major sporting events, but they take things up to an entirely new level when it comes to the Super Bowl. It almost becomes mind-boggling when you try and sift through the betting odds for the hundreds of different props they have listed, but it is still worth your while to shop your favorite sportsbooks to uncover the best value in the numbers.

Worst Quarterbacks in Super Bowl History
by Robert Ferringo - 1/28/2015

The Super Bowl is a career-defining moment for every football player that has suited up in The Big Game. This is especially true for quarterbacks, each of whom has carved a line in their obituary out with their play under the brightest spotlight in American sports.

2015 Super Bowl Expert Handicapper: Overrated and Underrated Betting Factors
by Trevor Whenham - 1/28/2015

The Super Bowl, when you really think about it, is ridiculous. It’s one game, but we spend two whole weeks obsessing over every possible detail and making sure that the players feel as much pressure and discomfort as possible. In so many ways it isn’t a good game to bet on at all, yet we make it by far the most heavily-bet game of the year. It’s silly. If we are going to give ourselves the best chances of success then we need to be able to ignore all the distracting stories that sound more important than they are and focus on the stories that are really going to have an impact on how the game turns out.
