If you are a bettor that is looking for something more than just the straight up lines but don’t want to get mixed up in weird “National Anthem” or Gatorade bath prop bets, then wagering on a six-point two-team teaser might be your best option.

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. While fans may mind a mediocre halftime act and a longer wait, Las Vegas sure does not. 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.

by Dave Schwab - 1/22/2014

The Super Bowl is the biggest single-day sporting event in the world, especially when it comes to wagering on the game. This year’s matchup features the Denver Broncos as three-point favorites over the Seattle Seahawks, with the total line set at 48.

by Trevor Whenham - 1/22/2014

The Super Bowl is a very, very tough football game to handicap successfully. Given the neutral field, the intense scrutiny, the tremendous pressure both teams face, the enhanced public betting action, and so much more, this is far from the best betting opportunity of the year.

2014 Super Bowl Weather: Handicapping the Elements
by Trevor Whenham - 1/21/2014

Maybe it is because when I look out my office window right now I see a big snow drift — as I expect to for six or more months each year. Or maybe it’s because I’m a Canadian and we are used to winter. Or maybe I’m just not a wimp. Whatever the reason, I think the whole controversy over the potential of a cold-weather Super Bowl is one of the most ridiculous storylines i have heard when it comes to the NFL — and that’s saying something.

Super Bowl Betting Predictions: 2013 Cross-Sport Props and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 2/1/2013

Hi, my name is Alan Matthews and I’m a Super Bowl cross-sport propaholic. I am indeed totally addicted to these types of props, and I wish sites would have them weekly on other events. Jimmie Johnson laps led at Daytona against the total points scored by LeBron James. Knockdowns in a Manny Pacquiao fight against goals for Sidney Crosby against the Canadiens. You get the drill. The combinations are endless. But I also know it takes plenty of research and the like, so it’s not going to happen.
