I used to be a print journalist, and I know how much newspaper folks are overworked and underpaid.

When it comes to quarterbacking storylines in the Super Bowl, Seattle’s Russell Wilson can’t hold a candle to Peyton Manning. Pretty much no one could.

There are so many wagers to be made on Super Bowl XLVIII that a novice bettor might be confused by all the action—heck, professional bettors can get overwhelmed by the number of betting options for the ‘big game’.

Super Bowl Halftime Betting Advice and Strategy
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/29/2014

The length of an NFL halftime is 12 minutes – except for one game every season: the Super Bowl. For the Super Bowl, the NFL more than doubles the halftime in length to 30 minutes.

With a halftime line released almost the second the first half clock reaches 0:00, gamblers have a half hour to place a Super Bowl second-half wager. The Super Bowl second-half line is easily the most wagered halftime line of the NFL season.

by Trevor Whenham - 1/28/2014

The quarterbacks are always a big story in the Super Bowl. That is especially the case here, though.
