Head-to-Head Wide Receiver Betting Props for Super Bowl 2019: Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 1/31/2019

I love head-to-head props in football. The idea of them is just so simple and pure - which guy is going to gain more yards when things matter most? As with so many other kinds of props, the options for head-to-head props are so much more vast and interesting for the Super Bowl than for any other game. This really is an epic day for betting. BookMaker has a good variety of head-to-head receiver props on offer this year.

Total Touchdown Props for Super Bowl 2019 Betting and Wagering
by Trevor Whenham - 1/30/2019

The focus of so much attention leading into this Super Bowl is on touchdowns. People are dreaming of a lot of points, and they are dreaming of big days from the offenses - especially New England's, it seems, judging by the unbalanced betting action. But how many touchdowns are we likely to see? And, more importantly, how can we profit from that opinion? Here's a look at some of the interesting total touchdown props that Bovada is offering for this Super Bowl:

Super Bowl Props Picks: Quarterback Passing Props Odds and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/30/2019

It's such an interesting quarterback battle in this Super Bowl. A first overall pick against a draft afterthought. Two guys born within 50 miles of each other but a full generation apart. A guy who has won everything there is to win against a guy looking to prove he can win anything at all. One guy playing his best football of the season right now, and the other struggling to find the game that he had for two thirds of the season but has lost since.

Expert Super Bowl Betting Predictions: Wagering on Downs Props
by Trevor Whenham - 1/30/2019

When it comes to getting excited about the upcoming Super Bowl, talking about downs isn't sexy. People would much rather talk about the quarterbacks, the coaches, and all the touchdowns they anticipate seeing. But you aren't going to score touchdowns if you can't get first downs, and the quarterbacks will have to convert some third downs along the way to really pile up the points, too.

2019 Super Bowl Expert Props Picks: Touchdowns
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2019

The Super Bowl - the one time of year when you can bet on absolutely anything. I love props of all descriptions, but the type we are going to look at today sits right near the top of the list of favorites for me. It's so simple, yet still challenging - and potentially lucrative.

Expert Props Picks for the 2019 Super Bowl: Individual Wide Receiver Odds
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2019

When we look at the receivers in the Super Bowl, we obviously have to look at the guys throwing to them. And that makes it challenging. Both quarterbacks have not been as productive in the postseason as we are used to. Tom Brady has exceeded his passing average in the playoff games, but he has had just one touchdown pass per game - below his regular-season average of 1.8.

2019 Super Bowl Field Goal Props Betting Odds and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2019

When people think about big football games, they always think about touchdowns, not field goals. It makes sense - on the playground as a kid everyone dreamed of throwing the last pass, but no one dreamed of kicking the winning field goal. Kickers are the freaks of the sport. But thanks to all the field goal props that are available, kickers can be more interesting in this game now than ever before.

Expert Super Bowl Props Betting Advice: Defensive Tackles Odds
by Trevor Whenham - 1/29/2019

Not many people are thinking about the defenses when it comes to this Super Bowl. Why would they? The Rams had the second-most-productive offense in the league in the regular season, and the Patriots were fourth, so the offense-loving general public expect fireworks. They remember the fun that came when these squads played the Chiefs, and they want another serving of that.

Greatest Super Bowl Teams of All Time Ranked
by Robert Ferringo - 1/25/2019

Let's get this out of the way first and foremost: it is nearly impossible to compare football teams from different eras. The rules, the size of the players, the size of the league, the training methods, the amount of pressure from media; nothing is the same today as it was in the 1990s. Just like nothing in the 1990s was the same as it was in the 1970s.

Top 10 Teams Not to Win The Super Bowl
by Robert Ferringo - 1/25/2019

"History is written by the victors" is a quote attributed to Winston Churchill. That's kind of a historically lazy argument. Yet even though the victors don't necessarily write history it is certainly written for the victors. NFL history is no different. People only remember the 1968 Baltimore Colts as the team that lost to Joe Namath and the Jets in one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.

Handicapping the Super Bowl Quarterbacks: Brady vs. Goff
by Trevor Whenham - 1/24/2019

When it comes to comparing the two starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl this year, we are going to hear a lot about two things - age and experience. And those are unquestionably big factors. But we can't just stop at those two things when comparing the two and handicapping their chances of hoisting the trophy. We need to go deeper to find an edge in this game.

Betting the Super Bowl Total 2019
by Trevor Whenham - 1/23/2019

There is a chance - a pretty decent one, perhaps - that we will see the highest total ever in a Super Bowl this year. Twice before we have seen a total of 57, with the teams going "over" once and "under" the other time. This year the total has opened at 57.5 and has flirted with 58. The general betting public loves the over and loves both offenses, so it is certainly possible that this number will set a new record.

Super Bowl Proposition Bets 2019
by Trevor Whenham - 1/23/2019

The Super Bowl is a buffet of prop betting excellence. A true smorgasbord of interesting and challenging options. In so many ways, it is the best sports betting day of the year - or at least the most interesting. There is a seemingly infinite number of Super Bowl proposition bets to choose from, and the number grows every year. I often prefer the odd bets more often, and we have looked at them elsewhere.

Super Bowl Betting Trends 2019
by Trevor Whenham - 1/23/2019

Handicappers, I have found over the years, fall into two camps. There are those that look at what has happened in the past as incredible valuable - almost a cheat sheet for what will happen in the future. And there are those that could care less. To them, winning games is about matchups and personnel, not historical trends.

Super Bowl Coaches 2019: Handicapping the Head Guys
by Trevor Whenham - 1/23/2019

I am totally fascinated by the matchup of Super Bowl coaches we are presented with this year. Bill Belichick is the oldest of the old guard. The last of his generation in so many ways. I mean, Pete Carroll is older than Belichick, but he feels so much younger. Everyone feels younger than Belichick - even Vince Lombardi. And on the other hand, you have Sean McVay, the hottest of hot coaches but a guy so young that his parents only barely let him stay up to watch the end of Brady and Belichick's first Super Bowl win. Belichick was older when McVay was born than McVay is now.

2019 Super Bowl Betting: Wagering Keys and Distractions
by Trevor Whenham - 1/23/2019

We're still a week and a half away from the Super Bowl as I write this. There is still plenty of handicapping and consideration left to do before kickoff and lots of time for news to come out and things to change. As a result, I'm in no hurry to lock in my pick and make any bets yet. But what we can do is look at what we know now and what is going to be important. Here is a look at three big keys to success that stand out for each team as well as two distractions that could draw the mind of handicappers away from what really matters.

Super Bowl LIII: A Walkthrough for Internet Super Bowl Betting
by Chris Vasile - 1/23/2019

In case you haven't already heard, Super Bowl LIII is less than two weeks away, and it features a matchup between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. This matchup seems to be one of the most talked-about matchups in recent Super Bowl history given how each team earned (and I use the term earned loosely) the right to compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl Totals Betting Trends
by Trevor Whenham - 1/22/2019

Oddsmakers have done a pretty good job of posting totals for the Super Bowl over the years. There have been 52 Super Bowls played up to this point. For some reason there was no total in the first game. Since then the teams have combined to go "over" the total 27 times and "under" 24 times.

2019 Super Bowl Betting: Sportsbooks To Deal With Patriots Fatigue?
by Trevor Whenham - 1/22/2019

Patriots fatigue is a real thing among bettors and fans right now - and understandably so. This is their third straight Super Bowl appearance, their fourth in five years, and their ninth in the 18 years that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have led the team. And as much as any team I can remember, there isn't a whole lot of grey area when it comes to this team. You either love, or at least like and respect, what they are doing and who they are, or you hate everything about them with a hatred that burns from the tip of your head to the soles of your feet.
