Super Bowl Props Predictions: Colin Kaepernick
by Alan Matthews - 1/24/2013

No rookie quarterback has ever led his team to a Super Bowl, much less win one. But in just about every aspect, San Francisco second-year player Colin Kaepernick is a rookie. The former Nevada dual-threat star, who set numerous NCAA records with the Wolf Pack, was considered somewhat of a reach when the 49ers took him in the second round of the 2011 draft.

Tips and Advice for Betting Super Bowl Props
by Trevor Whenham - 1/24/2013

Prop bets are the most fun part of Super Bowl betting. There are so many offered, and some of them are so creative, that it adds a whole new element of challenge and excitement to betting on the game. If you aren’t careful, though, props are also a very effective way to throw away a lot of money in a hurry.

2013 Super Bowl Betting Money Management
by Trevor Whenham - 1/22/2013

Picking winners in the Super Bowl — either against the spread or in the props — is tough enough. What really makes betting to win on the Super Bowl tough, though, is managing your money effectively. There are so many betting options, so much hype and excitement, and so much buildup centered around just one game that it can be easy to see your bankroll disappear in a ball of flames if you aren’t careful. Successful Super Bowl betting money management really comes down to just three things:

Common Super Bowl Betting Mistakes
by Trevor Whenham - 1/22/2013

There will be about 5,000 accredited media members in New Orleans, and many times more people sitting at home sharing their opinions. Those people need things to talk about, and there just aren’t a whole lot of meaningful angles — it’s just one game, after all. That means that any storyline that is important — or that sounds important — will get beaten into submission and will be made to sound like much more than it really is.

This Week in NFL Betting By the Numbers
by Darin Zank - 2/2/2012

We're down to the final game of this NFL season, No. 267, excluding the make-believe of the preseason and the farce that is the Pro Bowl. It's also know as Super Bowl XLVI, a little get-together this year over in Indianapolis (of all places) between two teams that just met in this same game a few years ago; the Giants and the Patriots.

Super Bowl Handicapping: Media Day Hyperbole
by T.O. Whenham - 2/1/2012

Is it just me or did Media Day seem to lose some of its shine this year? It’s always a big spectacle, but it has increasingly gotten more and more ridiculous, and it seems like it was less relevant than ever before as a result. Of course, it didn’t help that the game is in Indianapolis so Peyton Manning is overshadowing everything that happens.

Super Bowl Handicapping: Under-the-Radar Players
by Robert Ferringo - 2/1/2012

Manning against Brady. Rob Gronkowski and his undisclosed ankle. The Nicks-Cruz-Manningham triumvirate. Belichick. Coughlin. Super Bowl 46 will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday in Indianapolis and New York and New England are poised to renew their ongoing regional rivalry. The Super Bowl is the grandest stage in American sports and is the time for football’s greatest players to earn their status and carve out their names in history.

Super Bowl Quarterback Props: Betting Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 1/31/2012

The biggest stars in this Super Bowl, like in virtually every Super Bowl, are the quarterbacks. Tom Brady is as big as a star can be, and Eli Manning has climbed to a whole new level of esteem with his performance down the stretch and in the playoffs. It’s not oversimplifying the game too much to say that the player who plays best will lead his game to the win.

Super Bowl Betting Advice and Predictions: Cross-Sport Props
by T.O. Whenham - 1/30/2012

I love looking at all the Super Bowl prop bets every year. The ones that are consistently my favorite are the cross-sport props. It allows you to think about the game in a different way than you normally do, and forces you to make some assumptions that you don’t normally have to make. Here’s a look at three of the more interesting cross-sport Super Bowl prop bets for Super Bowl XLVI (all Super Bowl odds are from Bovada) along with some betting advice and predictions:

Super Bowl Props Betting: Rushing and Running Back Props Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 1/30/2012

The running backs are a bit of an afterthought when you think about Super Bowl XLVI. Neither the Giants nor the Patriots are particularly great running teams, and that is in large part because both are so effective through the air. Neither of these defenses is particularly good at stopping the run, though, so there is a chance that the teams could gain some momentum on the ground if they choose to pursue that.

Super Bowl Betting: Handicapping the Quarterbacks
by Aaron Smith - 1/27/2012

Four years ago the Patriots went into Super Bowl XLII with a perfect record, but it was the Giants who spoiled that chance at perfection and won the Super Bowl. The Giants and the Patriots will meet on Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. After an offseason with lots of questions, the NFL has produced plenty of excitement throughout the season. Now it’s time for the biggest day of the year in all of sports.

NFL Odds: First Touchdown Super Bowl Props and Predictions
by David Schwab - 1/26/2012

One of the greatest things about the Super Bowl, besides the game itself is the hundreds of proposition bets that sportsbooks offer in conjunction with the games. There are prop bets for just about any aspect of this game both on and off the field, but one of the most popular one is betting on which player scores the first touchdown of the game.

How to Bet Super Bowl Props
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 1/26/2012

Sports proposition bets are available throughout the year, but when it comes to the Super Bowl, well, it’s the ‘Super Bowl’ of prop betting. Sportsbooks offer literally hundreds of potential prop bets, some dealing with the game itself, some having to do with commercials, the broadcast, the coin flip, the halftime show, the color of the Gatorade poured on the winning coach…well you get the point.

Super Bowl Halftime Betting: Advice and Strategy
by T.O. Whenham - 1/26/2012

There are a lot of reasons not to be sober by the time halftime rolls around in the Super Bowl, but there is at least one good reason for value-loving bettors to keep their head until then. Halftime is, of course, when you can make halftime bets. Those bets don’t get nearly as much attention as the full game lines or totals or the prop bets, but they quite possibly offer more value than any of those other options.

2012 Super Bowl Rematch: Betting Trends and Comparison
by T.O. Whenham - 1/24/2012

We’re early in the build up to the Super Bowl, but the biggest storyline so far has been that this game, Super Bowl XLVI, is a rematch of the Super Bowl XLII, which was won by the Giants 17-14 thanks to one of the least likely catches we have seen in years. The fact that these teams met in the same game just four years ago ultimately won’t be the biggest controlling factor in the outcome of the game, but it’s an interesting factor to look at. Let’s dissect the Super Bowl rematch from four different angles:

Tips and Advice for betting Super Bowl Props
by Alan Matthews - 1/24/2012

There is simply nothing like the Super Bowl when it comes to betting options. Sure, soccer might be the world’s game – outside of this country – but you can take your World Cup or Euro 2012 or Olympics, you name it. The Super Bowl dwarfs any other sporting event on the planet in terms of the types of bets players can make.

2011 Super Bowl Results - Super Bowl 45 Recap
by Doc's Sports - 2/8/2011

The Packers scored 21 points off of three turnovers and jumped out to a 21-3 lead in the second quarter before the Steelers answered with a late touchdown just before halftime. Green Bay suffered a couple of key injuries in the first half, and Donald Driver and Charles Woodson would not return in the second half. Pittsburgh controlled most of the third quarter and got within four points after a Rashard Mendenhall eight-yard rushing touchdown.

Super Bowl Odds and Betting Advice
by T.O. Whenham - 2/6/2011

It looked early on as if the Super Bowl odds for the 45th edition of the game were going to be volatile, but that just hasn’t turned out to be the case at all. It has been quite the opposite really, as this has been one of the least interesting Super Bowls in history when judged on line movement. The reason for that is really fairly simple - the oddsmakers got it right, and they got it right quickly.

Super Bowl Props to Avoid
by T.O. Whenham - 2/4/2011

I love the betting aspect of the Super Bowl. Normally I am all about finding value, and value is very tough to find in this game -- much tougher than normal -- so it’s not really an attractive betting game. The spectacle of the game is just too much to resist, though -- the pageantry of the event, the craziness of the coverage, and the ridiculous brilliance of the betting options.

Super Bowl Odds: Why are the Packers Favored?
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/4/2011

By now anyone who follows point spreads knows never to second guess the oddsmakers. However, in the biggest game of the year you can’t help but scratch your head when you see a veteran Pittsburgh Steelers team full of a roster with two-time Super Bowl champions getting points in the Super Bowl.
