    No comments

    Okay these are the odds for a team winning the Super Bowl as they are listed at the BoDog Online Sports Book.

    Odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl XLIII
    Arizona Cardinals 26/1
    Atlanta Falcons 45/1
    Baltimore Ravens 12/1
    Buffalo Bills 5000/1
    Carolina Panthers 9/1
    Chicago Bears 50/1
    Dallas Cowboys 13/1
    Denver Broncos 26/1
    Green Bay Packers 2000/1
    Houston Texans 5000/1
    Indianapolis Colts 10/1
    Miami Dolphins 22/1
    Minnesota Vikings 18/1
    New England Patriots 28/1
    New Orleans Saints 75/1
    New York Giants 9/4
    New York Jets 20/1
    Philadelphia Eagles 30/1
    Pittsburgh Steelers 13/2
    San Diego Chargers 75/1
    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 22/1
    Tennessee Titans 13/2
    Washington Redskins 90/1

    Notice that Detroit and other teams that are eliminated from the playoffs are no longer listed? Also notice that teams that have a very long long road to the NFL playoffs also have very long odds to win the Super Bowl? You can get 5,000 – 1 to bet the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl. So if you bet $500 on Houston, and they won, you would win $2,500,000.  That is how much of a long shot they are. I think to even make the NFL playoffs, they have to win out the rest of the season, and several other teams will need to lost the rest of their games. Then of course, the Texans would have to win all of their playoffs games, and then the Super Bowl against much better teams the whole way. Anyway, it’s near impossible and if you were to bet it, you might as well kiss that $500 goodbye.

    So those are the update odds for now. If you are interested in betting any of these Super Bowl Props, you probably have until Thursday night’s game before the odds change again. These NFL Super Bowl odds are the bets offered at one sports book, but almost all sports books are currently offering Super Bowl futures, and odds may vary depending on what book you play with.

    As always thanks for stopping by. Please be sure to remember us come the Super Bowl. We will be listing Super Bowl Prop Bets, Las Vegas Super Bowl Parties, and other fun things like how to bet the Super Bowl for novices.

    We’ll be updating again soon :O)

  • More fantasy football talk… and here comes the playoffs

    No comments

    So much for having the best fantasy football team ever. My team was projected to score a ton of points this week, and it turns out that I’m lucky that I even won. By no means did I turn in a bad performance, but it was far from a great one too. Here is how the scoring broke down…

    Quarterback – Kurt Warner – 279 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. No a terrible day, but far from his 3 TD games. Against Saint Louis, he really could have done a lot more.

    Running Back – Michael Turner – 61 yards and 1 TD. Again not the worse (thanks to him scoring), but Turner could have had a much better day.

    Running Back – Joseph Addai – uhhh. He got a combine 40 all purpose yards. And to think I traded Thomas Jones for this guy. He is also now injured and could end up splitting time with Dominick Rhodes for the rest of the season. I hope that this isn’t the mistake that costs me the league Super Bowl…

    Wide Receiver – Anquan Boldin – 62 yards and no score. Another off week for my fantasy stars.

    Wide Receiver – Lee Evans – Benched in favor of Wes Welker which was a good call because Evans only had 23 yards all day. I’m glad I did listen to the people who were projecting a big day for Evans.

    Wide Receiver – Wes Welker – Welker is a fantasy stud disguised as a #2 receiver… He had 134 yards yesterday and an extra point conversion. If only he got more TDs he would be a monster.

    Tight End – Zach Miller – 64 total yards. Not too bad from the TE position.

    Flex RB/WR/TE – Steven Jackson – 64 rushing yards. 1 TD. 2 Fumbles! It looks like S-Jax still isn’t 100%, but he does go against Seattle next week. I think I have to keep starting him (especially with Addai playing so poorly).

    Kicker – Robbie Gould – I dropped him to start Jeff Reed, which was stupid. Reed got me only 3 extra points. I should have stayed with Gould who had a good day.

    Defense – Miami Dolphins – 4 sacks, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery, and they only gave up 3 points to Buffalo. This was a good day for the Dolphins D.

    Some of my bench player also performed really well. Pierre Thomas had over 100 yards rushing and 2 TDs. LeRon McClain had a decent day too with about 60 yards and a TD. More importantly for McClain, he got 20 carries which pretty much shows him as the primary running back in Baltimore after all 3 of their running backs have been sharing carries over the season. I’ll bet that I need some of these guys for my fantasy playoffs and the Super Bowl.

    My tight end John Carlson also had a good day, and Cadillac Williams goes tonight. I have Jerious Norwood to back up Turner if he goes down, but I doubt I’ll need him. I might even drop him for someone else if the opportunity arises.

    This week is the start of my playoffs in this league, and then the Super Bowl is next week already. I often do side bets in this league with my friends, so while we do have a buy in and payouts for the leagues winners, we often have more action on heads up matches. I might even make odds on the league Super Bowl this year and take bets. This way people in my league can bet on the Super Bowl even if their teams are already out of it. This could make it more fun.

    Anyway, that’s probably enough from now. Thanks again for stopping by, and please remember to come by this site around Super Bowl, especially if you are going to Bet the NFL Super Bowl.

  • The Sickest Fantasy Football Team

    No comments

    Okay, maybe it isn’t, but you have to admit that my team is stacked of the playoffs.

    Quarterback – Kurt Warner – I traded for him around week 2 (I got him and Thomas Jones for Earnest Graham, great trade in hindsight). Warner had been incredible all year and in listed as a top QB play every week. He is the second highest scoring QB in my league.

    Running Back – Michael Turner – Drafted in the 2nd round, Turner is the second highest scoring running back after Thomas Jones. He has been solid all year,

    Running Back – Joseph Addai – Addai was injured earlier in the year. I traded for this 1st round RB 2 weeks ago. I gave Thomas Jones and Ricky Williams for Addai and Wes Welker.

    Wide Receiver – Anquan Boldin – Even after missing a few weeks this year due to injury, Boldin is still the highest scoring fantasy wide receiver. I took him in the 4th round on my draft and it’s paid odd nicely. On the year, Boldin’s been targeted 111 times and has 942 yards and 11 touchdowns.

    Wide Receiver – Lee Evans – Evans rotates with Wes Welker as my number 2 wide receiver. Evans can be very streaky and very frustrating at times because of this. I expect him to finish out the year strong, but I will probably start Welker more because he is more reliable.

    Tight End – Zach Miller – I just picked up Miller. He is Oaklands leading receiver and he is palying San Diego this week. San Diego has giving up more points to fantasy TEs this year than any other team in the league.

    Flex RB/WR/TE – Steven Jackson – My number 1 draft pick has now been moved to my flex after this year’s injury and streakiness. S-Jax isn’t worth a #1 pick going forward, but he is still a great guy to have as a flex.

    Kicker – Robbie Gould – Kickers are kickers. I add and drop them on a weekly basis.

    Defense – Miami Dolphins – They are better than a middle of the road defense able to get sacks and create turnovers. Most importantly, their remaining schedule is at Buffalo, vs San Fransico, and at Kansas City.

    Current Bench (full of depth):
    Wes Welker
    Pierre Thomas
    LeRon McClain
    Cadillac Williams
    Jerious Norwood
    John Carlson

    How would you like to face my team over the next few weeks?

    I think I probably have more talent than 99% of teams in 12 team leagues at this point. It should be interesting to see how my playoffs and fantasy super bowl work out. I do have 4 incredibly unlucky loses on the year, so I’m currently in 2nd place in my league. I think I should win it all though.

    Wish me luck!

  • The Super Bowl is only 2 months away…

    I’m really not sure how it snuck up this fast on me this year. Looking through this site, I think I’ve only written about 7 posts all football season! Geez, I must be having too much fun watching all the games. Anyway, the summer was slow, so I wrote a lot more then…

    So I just did a quick search for this site on google and it’s still no where to be seen. Someone at that search engine must have it out for this site! I’m currently still numero uno at MSN and Yahoo for – Bet the Super Bowl – which is where I need to be. If only google would come back on board, I’d be happy. Anyway, I still have 2 month until the Big Game, so plenty of time to still optimize this site. I plan on working on this site for at least an hour a day until the Super Bowl. That’ll be some work!

    The Super Bowl this year is in Tampa Bay, Florida. That’ll be a nice trip for 2 lucky teams. It looks like the locals are calling it Super Tampa for the Super Bowl. This game will be played at Raymond James Stadium, and it’s the second time that this stadium will host the Super Bowl. I bet you didn’t know that!

    I’d personally like to see a Subway Series Super Bowl. The New York Giants vs the New York Jets. Of course, it wouldn’t really be a Subway Series because the game wouldn’t be played in New York. Also, both these teams play at Giants Stadium which is in New Jersey. The Yankees/Mets Subway Series actually work because both teams play in New York City, in different stadiums, and you can take the subway all the way from 1 stadium to the other… Yeah, I don’t think that a Super Bowl Subway Series would be the same…

    Thanks for stopping by again. Please continue to read – Bet the NFL Super Bowl!

  • Plaxico Burress = dumb ass

    No comments

    What an idiot this guy is! He goes from catching the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl to possibly going to jail in NYC for years after shooting himself in the leg! What a freaking moron. God I wish I had half his money. I’d let him shoot me in the leg!

    Anyway, I have Plax on a fantasy football team in Yahoo!. I just got this roster alert - ”Plaxico Burress has been dropped by 35118 teams in Yahoo! leagues”.  Hahaha… over 35,000 people have dropped his ass. And I’m sure the number will grow as we get closer to the weekend.

    Anyway, it’s playoff time in fantasy football leagues. The next 3 weeks are the ones that are most important to Fantasy coaches with good teams. Typically the season ends with the fantasy Super Bowl on NFL’s week 16. This way fantasy teams aren’t hurt when NFL teams who have already made the playoffs decide to rest their stars so that they don’t get hurt before the real, NFL playoffs.

    I’ve been playing fantasy football for years. I got burnt in a league 5 plus years ago when our Super Bowl was in week 17 of the NFL regular season week. My star running back was rested, and I ended up losing my fantasy Super Bowl because of it. It was so long ago, that I don’t remember who it even was anymore. I just remember that it happened.

    Anyway, it had been a while since I wrote anything, and I wanted to let the world know that this site is still alive and kicking!

    Thanks for stopping by “Bet the NFL Super Bowl”. Be sure to come by during the playoffs for updated Super Bowl bets and odds :O)
