Bet the NFL Super Bowl – New England Patriots vs New York Giants

We are about a year away from the Super Bowl, so these odds could change A LOT, but these are the current odds for the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

The current long shots are the Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers. There should be no surprise there. Both these teams sucked last year. The Bills went 4-12 and the Panthers ended at 2-14. There were a few other teams that ended the season at 4-12 along with the Bills. Fortunately for those teams, they don’t play in the same division as the New England Patriots and the New York Jets, two teams that are on a lot of people’s lists to make the playoffs.

The Patriots are actually one of the two favorites to win the Super Bowl. The other current favorite is this year’s winner, the Green Bay Packers. Both teams are 7-1. The 2010 Super Bowl loser, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently 11-1 to win the next Super Bowl.

Of course there might not even be a 2012 Super Bowl is the NFL owners and the players association doesn’t come to an agreement over the next 12 months. I know it’s early, but they’ve been negotiating for months now and the mediation has failed. The union has said that they think the NFL owners want to lock out the players soon. If this happens, the 2011 season could be in jeopardy.

Even if just one or two games is missed, it will have an impact on Super Bowl odds and bets, and it would have a major impact if half the season is missed. If the strike goes long enough, there will be a point were the season will be canceled completely. Of course we’re hoping that both sides come to an agreement soon, as we would hate to miss any of the next season.

Congrats to the Packers and all their fans. After all the bets were calculated in Vegas and all the numbers were reported, Vegas did make a small profit on the game. The consensus is that the public was on Green Bay, and most everyday bettors won! This is great news.

It was an okay game. Green Bay got an early lead and they held to though out the game. The Steelers tried coming back and got within 3 points of the Packers, but they could over come their early deficit. Without a lead change the entire game, it was a little slow. Green Bay led the whole way and won the game.

Some of the more heavily bet props cashed too. Aaron Rodgers was named MVP, Hinse Ward caught a touchdown pass, and Rodgers threw for a ton of yards.

For the first time in 12 years, tails won the coin toss! Overall, it was a good Super Bowl both for the NFL and for the bettors. We’d be lucky if every year was this good (as long as you bet on the Packers!)

Well now that the season is over, we might be taking a small break in posting. We’ll see how things go. Thanks again for reading!

The NFC and AFC championship games are this Sunday. The winners of these games will go the Super Bowl. There is a lot of excitement in the air.

Some of the stories out there are – The huge rivalry between the Packers and the Bears. The Jets haven’t been to a Super Bowl since 1969, and their fans are desperate for a win. The Steelers have won two Super Bowls in the last 10 years, and they have won 6 Super Bowls over all. President Obama has said that if the Bears go to the Super Bowl, he win attend the game at Cowboys Stadium.

Betting on the Super Bowl will be great this year. All of these teams provide interesting stories and make great headlines. They also all have big fan bases which will makes the game more fun. There should be a ton of prop bets offered on the 2011 Super Bowl.

The bet that interests me the most is which conferance will the Super Bowl winner come from. They list this bet twice, but it’s worded in slightly different ways.

You can bet either the AFC or the NFC, and they are both listed at -115 odds. Now -115 isn’t a good line on a 50/50 bet which at first this bet might seem to be. If this bet was a true 50/50, you should look for a line that is -110 for each side.

That said, it looks like the Packers are the current favorite to win the Super Bowl at 8-5 odds. Right behind them are the Steelers at 2-1. The Jets are third at 7-2, and the Bears are a distance 4th at 5-1. Just looking at these odds, you would think that the AFC has slight edge to win the big game. The two NFC teams are the Packers and the Bears, but the odds on the Bears are so long, that you have to figure that they would be underdogs to whoever they faced if they made it to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile the odds on the Steelers are right there with the Packers and the Jets odds aren’t too far behind.

Just looking at this, there has to be some value in betting on the AFC to win the Super Bowl now before this weekend’s NFL games are played. If the Bears manage to beat Green Bay, and you bet the AFC, you will have locked into some great odds on the Super Bowl. You could even bet on the Bears on the Super Bowl to hedge the bet and make money no matter who wins. Now lets say that the Bears lose to Green Bay, if the Steelers beat the Jets, you will have a pretty close bet the actual odds should be on the Super Bowl. The only way that this AFC bet could go against you in the big game is if the Packer and Jets wim this weekend. If this happens, the Packers would probably be favored over the Jets even though New York would have beaten some great teams to get to the Super Bowl.

Of course, if yo think that the super Bowl match up is going to be the New York Jets vs the Green Bay Packers, you can just bet on that too. Those odds are listed at 3-1. Oddly the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Green Bay Packers odds are also 3-1…

So you can see that there ae several interesting bets on the board. At this stage of the playoffs, and 4 of these teams could easily go on to win the Super Bowl. These are 4 strong and focused teams that have played well all year and gotten hot at the right time.

Individual player props for this weekend aren’t up yet. Once they’re added, we be sure to post them here, so you can see what prop bets are offered for the NFL Championship playoff rounds. I expect there to be more team prop bets added too, so we’ll also update those a little later in the week.

Also later this week, we’ll give some tips on how to bet on the Super Bowl the right way, how to stay away from sucker bets and which online sportsbooks to use.

Until then, Good Luck and happy betting!

After this last weekend of NFL playoff games, only four teams remain. Next Sunday the Green Bay Packers will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears, and the New York Jets will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in an attempt to win their third road playoff game and a trip to the Super Bowl.

Interested in betting on one of these teams to win the 2011 Super Bowl? We have the updated odds below.

Odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl XLV
Chicago Bears 5/1
Green Bay Packers 8/5
New York Jets 7/2
Pittsburgh Steelers 2/1

Right now the Steelers are the favorite to win it all. The Packers are the favorite team from the NFC. If you like any of these teams to win the Super Bowl, you should bet them now since the odds will change after the next round of games (especially if you like either the Jets or the Bears).

This weekend give us some good match ups. The first game is between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Green Bay is favored by 3, but the game is being played in Chicago, making the Bears a underdog at home in the playoffs. How often does that happen in a league Championship game? Close to never!

This could make for an interesting bet. I have a freind that only bets on home underdogs, and he claims to do pretty well. Also we all remember what happened a couple weeks ago when Seattle was a home, dog in the playoffs.

Everyone things that Green Bay is a better team, and that the Bears had an easy game beating up on the Seahawks. Las Vegas usually sets their lines based on what they think people would bet, and Vegas is sure the public likes the Packers.

The over/under in this game is currently 44, and the money line odds are the Green Bay Packers -180 and the Chicago Bears +160.

The second NFL playoff game is between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The line on this game in the Steelers minus 3, so Las Vegas thinks everyone will want to bet on the Steelers. There is a good reason for that. Pittsburgh has had a great year and they are playing at home. The flip-side to that is that the Jets just beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last month! That game ended 22-17… It was close.

Vegas is also expecting this to bet a defensive battle as they’ve set the total bet at 38½. The money line on this game varies depending on what online sports book you look at. You can bet the New York Jets to win straight up anywhere between +165 and +155. You can bet the Pittsburgh Steelers to win at -175 to -190.

Those are the line and odds for this week’s NFL games. We’ll be back later in the week with more information on how to bet on the Super Bowl and a couple lists on prop bets that are offered for this weekend.

Good Luck and happy betting!

Here we listed some of the player prop bets offered on this weekend’s NFL playoff games. The prop bets listed are pretty standard. These are the type of bets you can expect to see offered on the Super Bowl. But since this Super Bowl is the most heavily bet game of the year, there will also be a lot more prop bets available. These are just some basic ones.

Super Bowl XLV – What will be the result of the Super Bowl XLV Coin Toss?
Heads -105
Tails -105

Here at Bet the NFL Super Bowl, we take pride in giving up the best up to date information, news and bets offered on the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl. We will be updating constantly over the next few weeks leading up to the big game, so be sure to continue to stop by all you betting needs.

Super Bowl excitement is definitely brewing after this weekend’s first NFL playoff games. Yahoo Sports has a list of the best hotels to stay at for the 2011 Super Bowl, Bloomberg has an article about how the odds on the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl have dropped since their win this weekend and Kim Kardashian announced her plans to be in a Super Bowl commercial for Skechers ShapeUps.

Our take on all this news – Yahoo’s hotel list is kind of a stupid. The hotels listed are The Days Inn, The Courtyard and The Holiday Inn. We could have created this list with a simple Expedia search or maybe even less. Bloomberg’s article on the Seahawks’ Super Bowl odds was good. We made the exact same point in our last article, so they were thinking along the same track. Of course, if you think Seattle will win the Super Bowl, but on them now before their next game because if they win again this weekend, their odds will drop further fast. Kim Karadashian’s commercial is for sneakers that help shape your butt. Doesn’t everyone know that her butt had that shape years ago before the Shape Up sneakers were ever invented? Seems like a dumb commercial.

Okay, so we cover some of the Super Bowl coverage that’s currently out there. One thing that I forgot to mention earlier is that you can already bet on the Super Bowl coin toss at the BoDog online sportsbook. I was at their site this last weekend, looking at the lines and prop bets on the NFL wildcard games, and noticed that this prop bet is already up. As usual the odds are -105 for either heads or tails. After all it’s a 50/50 bet.

We covered Saturday’s NFL playoff games is our last article. So now we’ll cover the odds and bets available on the Seattle Seahawks at the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets at the New England Patriots. All four of this weekend’s games will have a lot of prop bets, and we’ll be back with a list of those later in the week.

The Seattle Seahawks travel to the Chicago Bears this Sunday and coverage starts at 1pm EST. Seattle was a big upset this week as they were an underdog by 11 points. They have about the same spread this week. The Bears are currently a 10 point favorite at every online sports book and the over/under is set at an even 40. If you really like Seattle to win this game, you should consider betting them on the money line. The money line odds for Seattle to win straight up vary between +350 to +400 depending on the sportsbook. If you wanted to bet Chicago on the money line, you can currently get them between -440 and -500.

The 4:30 EST Sunday game is between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots. This game has another big favorite in the Patriots. The current odds online show New England to be about an 8.5 to 9 point favorite over the Jets with the over/under set at 45.5 points. If you like the Jets to win this game, you should consider betting them on the money line. It’s currently between +320 to +345 for the Jets to win, and -385 to -410 to bet on the Patriots to win.

One of the reasons that the Patriots are such heavy favorites in this game is their history in the NFL playoffs and past Super Bowls. After the New England Patriots have been to 4 Super Bowls in the last 10 years and have won 3 of them. When it comes to betting on the Super Bowl, the Patriots has proven to be a solid bet.

It’s time to get your NFL Super Bowl future bets in! The odds change every week, and if you like the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl, you should bet them now! If they win another game, their odds are going to drop like a rock. Right now odds to bet the Super Bowl winner online are as follows:

New England Patriots +165
New York Jets +1700
Atlanta Falcons +515
Pittsburgh Steelers +625
Green Bay Packers +615
Baltimore Ravens +1025
Chicago Bears +750
Seattle Seahawks +7000

After this weekend’s NFL games, there are only 8 teams left, 2 of which will go to the Super Bowl and obviously 1 will win. After this wildcard weekend, every team to lose will be eliminated. There are no more bye weeks!

This week’s games include the Baltimore Ravens at the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game is at 4:30 EST on Saturday, and the Steelers are favored by 3.5 points. The odds on the money line are the Baltimore Ravens +167 and the Pittsburgh Steelers -178. Basically, if you like the Ravens to win this game, you should bet them on the money line. If you bet $100 and they win, you will win $167. Not bad! Of course, the Steelers have won 2 Super Bowls in the last 10 years, so they know how to win in pressure situations. The over/under for this game is 36.5 points.

The 8:00 EST game on Saturday is the Green Bay Packers at the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers had an exciting win yesterday and Atlanta had the weekend off to prepare. The odds makers are expecting this to be the closest game of the weekend (and maybe the entire NFL playoffs). Different online sports books have a wide range of odds for this game. Right now the line is fluctuating between the Atlanta Falcons -1 to -2.5. So, if you like Atlanta to win and you wanted to bet with the spread, you should try to find one of the online sports books that’s currently hanging a line of Atlanta -1. If you want to bet on the Green Bay Packers, you should try to find a sportsbook that has Atlanta -2.5.

The money line odds for this game range between sportsbooks from Atlanta -130 and Green Bay +120 to the Falcons –120 and the Packers +105. It looks like the best money line bets to can get on the Atlanta Falcons is -120 and the best you can get on the Green Bay Packers is +120. That’s some of the closest money line bets I’ve ever seen!

The over under on this game has a little flexibility too. It moves from 45 to 45.5 depending on which online sportsbook you use, so try to shop around before you place a bet!

We’ll be back with more odds and bets for the Seattle Seahawks at the Chicago Bears game and the New York Jets at the New England Patriots game in a few hours. Thanks for stopping by Bet on the NFL Super Bowl 2011. Remember to book mark us for all you information for the 2011 NFL playoffs and Super Bowl!

First let’s look at playoff predictions. If the season ended today, the NFL playoff picture would look like this:

AFC:
New York Jets
Baltimore Ravens
Indianapolis Colts
Kansas City Chiefs
New England Patriots
Pittsburgh Steelers

NFC:
Atlanta Falcons
Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Chicago Bears
Seattle Seahawks
New Orleans Saints

This of course could make for some interesting Super Bowl match ups. There could be a rematch of the Saints and the Colts, the Patriots and the Giants, the Colts and the Bears, or the Steelers and the Seahawks. If any of those scenarios occurred, who would you bet on? Would you bet on the team that won last time? Or would you go with the loser of the first match up?

Of course most bettors would need to reevaluate each team based on their current year’s performance, and that’s probably the best way to do it. When betting on the Super Bowl, it’s also important to look at how each team made it though the playoffs. A lot of Super Bowl bettors place too much importance on the regular season when determining their bets. How a team plays in the regular season is important, and a very important part in making it to the playoffs, but how a team plays in the post season is what makes champions. For my money, I would rather bet on a team that barely made the playoffs, but played really good through out than a team that dominated during the regular season, but barely made it to the Super Bowl.

One of the more interesting match ups would be a New York Jets vs New York Giants Super Bowl. Surprisingly, the idea of this Super Bowl match up seams to annoy most New Yorkers. Aside for the fact that both teams play in New Jersey, and that they Super Bowl will be held across the country in Dallas, most Jets fans don’t like the Giants, and Giants fans, which usually never have to hear about the Jets have been getting an earful over the last couple of years which all of the things the team has been doing. First they signed Brett Favre for a year. The following year, Favre was out, but Rex Ryan was in.

For those of you who don’t know, Rex Ryan is by far the most vocal coach in the NFL. He talks trash and it seems like he incruages his team to as well. This year HBO’s series Hard Knocks, where they follow an NFL team through their training camp, was centered around the Jets. If any NFL fans didn’t know much about Rex Ryan before that series, they should know a whole lot more now!

Okay, so aside from just Super Bowl betting and odds, we would like to take set back and bring you some odds for team to win their division and conference in order to get to the Super Bowl. Right now we are going to focus on the AFC Championship and the Division races. (We will be back with updated Super Bowl odds soon though).

Odds to win the AFC Championship
Baltimore Ravens +400
Cleveland Browns +15000
Houston Texans +10000
Indianapolis Colts +1000
Jacksonville Jaguars +5000
Kansas City Chiefs +1800
Miami Dolphins +8000
New England Patriots +350
New York Jets +400
Oakland Raiders +10000
Pittsburgh Steelers +450
San Diego Chargers +450
Tennessee Titans +6500

As you can see, no one thinks the Browns will win the AFC. The odds of them making the playoffs are terrible. But this is a team that might have some value if they made the playoffs. They have by far had the toughest schedule in the NFL. They also have 3 easy games coming up, so they could make a run.

Odds to win the Division – AFC South (everyone still has a shot!)
Indianapolis Colts -155
Houston Texans +900
Tennessee Titans +450
Jacksonville Jaguars +350

Odds to win the Division – NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles -150
New York Giants +110
Washington Redskins +5000

Odds to win the Division – AFC East
New England Patriots -115
New York Jets -110
Miami Dolphins +10000
My money is on the better odds… which is the Jets

Odds to win the Division – AFC North
Baltimore Ravens -115
Pittsburgh Steelers -110

Odds to win the Division – AFC West
San Diego Chargers -200
Oakland Raiders +1200
Kansas City Chiefs +175

These odds are surprising since the Chiefs are currently winning the division.

Odds to win the Division – NFC North
Green Bay Packers -175
Chicago Bears +130

Odds to win the Division – NFC South
New Orleans Saints +120
Atlanta Falcons -145
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +2000

The Bucs could have some value here. They are 2 games out, but they have 3 easy games left this year. Unfortunately they are currently losing the tie breakers with both the Saints and the Falcons.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading Bet the NFL Super Bowl. We’ll be back with more odds, bets and general sports betting advice soon!
